The experience

Ahoy Bistrò Siciliano sits steps from the water in Giardini Naxos, looking out at the bay and Taormina across it. You start by working pizza dough with Chef Mimmo while it rises, then move to bruschetta: Pachino cherry tomatoes, basil, oregano and local olive oil on toasted bread. The pastry chef arrives next to teach you cannoli: you knead the dough, fry it in the particular shape by hand, and learn the secret of the cream filling that makes them work. Once the pizza dough has risen, you roll it out, choose your toppings and bake the pizzas in the oven.

The class wraps with Angel Wings: the crispy fried cookies Sicilians call Chiacchiere, a Carnival tradition. Then everyone moves to the table facing the Mediterranean. You eat the pizza and cannoli you made, drink water and soft drinks, and taste Limoncello while the view does the rest. The whole class runs 3.5 hours. You get an apron, all the ingredients, and a certificate when you leave.
