Taormina pasta and tiramisu class in a local home with Cesarine. Roll fresh sfoglia, make two pastas, enjoy aperitivo and meal.
“Donatella and Joe were fantastic hosts and made us feel very welcome in Donatella’s home. The class was at a very nice pace and it was lovely to sit down with them both after to eat the food we’d finished preparing. They were great with stories and chat. The activity was a bit more of a cooking demonstration than a class than we were expecting, but this was perfect for us as we like to eat food that’s made by someone who knows what they’re doing! A great way to spend a morning and would definitely recommend it.”
Every kind of day out on the island, and the best of each.
