Taormina: Cannolo Cooking Class with Final Certificate

This cannoli cooking class was such a wonderful experience and I highly recommend it if you want to enjoy a real taste of Italian food culture. Our chef, Francesca, made everyone feel comfortable from the very beginning. She shared lots of helpful tips and explained every step in a simple and fun way. Thanks to her energy and passion, we all felt like contestants on an Italian MasterChef! The atmosphere was fantastic, and the whole class lasted around two hours. At the end, we received a certificate, took photos together, enjoyed wine, and got to eat the delicious cannoli we had made ourselves. And don’t worry if you can’t eat all 20 cannoli you make—they’ll happily pack them for you to take away. Highly, highly recommended!

We attended the canoli private class with my husband and it was an A-MA-ZING experience. Our instructor-chef was Mauro, who was really friendly yet informative and professional. The whole course took about 1.5 hours where we made the dough and the filling from scratch and it was a fun, practical and really tasty experience overall. Highly recommended!

Francesca was very patient and informative. We were a large group with various levels of cooking experience and she answered all our questions with the expertise and caring for each of us to learn the proper techniques. It was fun - not rushed and of course the setting was the beautiful restaurant dining room that opens to the view of the entrance to the village. It was an unforgettable experience for our family and we will definitely do it again. Thank you Francesca!

Paolo hat alle Schritte wunderbar erklärt, geholfen und auf seine charmante Art bei der Herstellung unterstützt. Vielen lieben Dank, dass ich sogar in die Küche durfte und dort Einiges erklärt bekam. Und das bei laufendem Geschäftsbetrieb! Sehr eindrucksvoll. Leider fand ich die Zeit zu kurz, es war leicht hektisch, um alle Cannolo fertigzustellen. Insgesamt ein tolles Erlebnis und sehr zu empfehlen! Leider hatte ich am Ende eine negative Erfahrung mit einer teilnehmenden Familie mit 2 Kindern (6+9 Jahre). Sie meinten plötzlich, ihnen würden alle gehören, sie hätten sie schließlich gefüllt. Dass ich aber zwischenzeitlich in der Küche weitere Cannolo frittierte und aus der Form löste, war ihnen egal. Etwas frustriert blieben mir dann nur 4 Cannolo zum Mitnehmen. Fazit: Helfen Sie nicht den anderen! Sehen Sie zu, dass Sie Ihre Cannolo selbst herstellen und füllen. Sie sind nämlich köstlich!!

My daughter and I had an incredible time at this cannoli cooking class. Pastry chefs Ana and Francesca were warm, welcoming, and made the experience both fun and relaxed. We learned the secrets to making perfectly crisp cannoli shells from scratch and prepared two delicious fillings — a traditional ricotta cream and a light chantilly cream. The class was hands-on, well organized, and easy to follow. The charming location made it even more special, and we enjoyed it so much we stayed for lunch afterward. A truly memorable experience — highly recommend!
