Is this experience for you?
Tour Highlights
Full Description
Unlike standard demonstrations, this is a 100% hands-on class. Led by professional chefs, you will master the techniques behind Sicily’s most famous dishes, from shaping arancine to crafting handmade pasta, all within a small-group setting that ensures personal attention and a convivial, social vibe.
The experience honors the UNESCO-recognized heritage of Italian cuisine, blending tradition with professional guidance. You’ll go behind the scenes of local life at the Mercato del Capo and end the day sharing a meal like a local family. With a digital recipe booklet and a graduation certificate included, you’ll carry the authentic soul of Palermo back home with you.
