I thought this sounded like it would be a fun experience for my family's visit to Taormina and this exceeded our expectations! We are still talking about how much fun we had and everyone agrees it was their favorite thing that we did on this vacation. We learned how to make both pasta and pizza over about 4 hours in the restaurant. Paolo and Francesca were so fun and engaging, and both were so skilled at cooking and at showing us some easy techniques. We were fed so well, enjoying our pizza, pasta and lots of other special treats. We even got recipes for everything we made. This is an activity not to be missed if you're visiting Taormina!

Superbly organized, hugely fun. Francesca and Paulo were our chef teachers, welcoming us into a busy, fully functioning, popular pizza and pasta restaurant right at the Messina Gate. They were warm, welcoming, hilarious, patient, and informative. We made our own pasta and pizza dough, learned hands on how to make a few different pasta shapes and how to stretch a dough ball into a thin, perfect Sicilian pizza crust before adding our own toppings. Best of all, we saw the restaurant get busier and busier as the lunch service began, and even though we’re sorta in the way, we were never made to feel in the way—come on into the kitchen with us was their motto. Then, of course, we ate a great pasta and pizza lunch that ended with some surpise dessert and drink gifts. Wine washed it all down well.

Very fun experience! It was a bit fast paced and slightly chaotic with 3-4 groups of 10-15 people doing pizza classes at different stages over the 2 hours we were there. There was some helpful tips shared and the stage were very friendly and helpful!

This was such a fun tour for our large group of 21 people. We had two families for a multigenerational trip ages 4-72, and everyone had a blast. The restaurant was so accommodating to our group who arrived a bit late due to a late transfer issue. We had transferred from the Messina cruise port and we were on a tight time schedule- they moved us along quickly without sacrificing a great experience. If you have some time in Taormina and are looking for a fun activity that includes a delicious lunch, I highly recommend. Side note- we booked Taormina on your own tour through Royal Carribean which is basically just transfers to and from Taormina. We booked this tour at 10:30 and by the time the bus parked and we walked the 1/2 mile stretch to the restaurant, we were there by 11. My only complaint is not with this tour, but the early transfer back through Royal Carribean (had to be back at bus by 1), as Taormina is such a cute town it would have been great to have more time to shop and explore.

The class was fun and delicious. The chefs were very helpful in learning how to make pasta and pizza. All of the food, wine and fun were well worth the cost - I highly recommend a class at Porta Messina!

This was an amazing experience! The resturant it was hosted in was beautiful, and our instructor Luca was so informative & patient. We did get stuck with a group that was very rude & made the experience a bit uncomfy, but that didn't ruin our fun! I would definitely do this again :)
