Fun and amazing cooking experience. (Thanks to Lorenzo and mamma Corleone) Like stepping into a loving and warm Italian familys home and feeling like one of them. We left the kitchen grateful, with a smile on our faces and full bellies. Amazing!

This was amazing! The combination of mama corleone (the chef) and Lorentzo (translator) was Great! Lorentzo was very funny and mamma Corleone had alot of knowledge about cooking that went far beyond our expectations! 10/10 would do again! //Markus

Everything was great. Everyone felt included and the staff did everything to meet our needs (some of us were vegan), and were very welcoming. Nothing felt staged although they all have had the same dish for quite some time. A great experience during a visit to Palermo. We won’t forget this evening!

My sister and I were advised by the staff in a hotel in Mondelo that Mamma Corleone had the best cooking school in Palermo and they were right. The delightful Riham met us before the class to take us on a tour of the fabulous Ballaro Markets. Riham had grown up in the area and knew and was clearly adored by all the traders there who let us sample their wares. On our return to the cooking school, we met our Mamma for the day, who was a beautiful teacher. With excellent and informed English translations by Riham, Mamma systematically guided us through the steps of making delicious panelle, arancini balls and watermelon jelly. We lunched like queens on the dishes, accompanied by great local wine and wonderful conversation. This was one of our most memorable days in Sicily.

Thank you soo much for an amazing cooking class❤️❤️❤️ We had a lovely tour at the market to see the local cuisine first. Afterwards we had an amazing experience cooking and eating the best food we ever tasted! 10/10

I had an AMAZING experience with mamma, I went with my mim and the ladies were incrediblefriendly, we had a lovely time, did some sicilian traditional food and the day was amazing!!!! Totally recommend

Excellent experience. La mamma and the student translating charming, location perfect, food delicious. The magic of creating the most extraordinary out of very few, basic ingredients and simple, non-engineered cooking. We highly recommend.

We love food and took this class for an enjoyable end to our visit to Sicily. It was very informative, fun and the food was delicious! Mamma Corleone timed this class perfectly! First, we made our pistachio dessert so it would chill for after dinner. Next, we prepared a pasta dough. While that rested we prepared eggplant. Then we made meatballs and tomato sauce. We cut the dough into tagliatelle and then put it all together for a wonderful meal of pasta alla Norma. A bottle of wine was opened to add to that authentic dining experience. Lorenzo helped with the English translation and his humor and energy kept this a fun class. All of us consider ourselves pretty good at cooking and walked away with added tips.

We had a beautiful morning cooking with Maria and Lorenzo! Traditional Sicilian menu with amazing quality ingredients - the food was so delicious, the best we had on our trip (and that was a high bar). Would really recommend a morning at Mamma Corleone.

Of course, coming to Italy, I expected to eat delicious food. However, I did not expect that my delicious food would also be something I prepared myself! What a delight it was to learn to make classic Sicilian dishes at Mamma Corleone! The instructor was a delight, and the translator, Karin was entertaining and helpful and interesting! Could not have had a better experience, only wish I hadn’t eaten all day so I could have had enough space for all the food we prepared. Plus colorful aprons (for €5) are a perfect souvenir! Would recommend to anyone coming to Palermo!

We had a wonderful lesson with Maria Pia and Kharim. It was lots of fun and interesting chatting to them about food and life in Sicily. The food was amazing and I just hope that we can reproduce the meal when we get home… so that it will bring back memories of our fabulous day. I would highly recommend this course to anyone wishing to have a taste of authentic Sicilian good. Thank you so much Maria Pia and Kharim

Awesome time cooking with Mamma Corleone at her cooking class! We made delicious food following instructions that were easy to understand. Mamma Corleone is amazing, so kind, & very good at what she does! Fun time. Highly recommend for couples, coworkers, families or friends!

This was one of our favourite events in Palermo! Highly recommend this for anyone looking for a fun way to spend a few hours learning about this area in Italy! It was a great experience to learn how to make pasta, meat, and dessert!

The cooking class was great. In total it was me and 2 other ladies who were sisters and then Mama Corleone and her assistant who translated between English and Italian for us. We made a shrimp pesto pasta dish, a fish dish and canollo's too!! It was a lot of fun and it was great to learn to make these dishes from scratch and with fresh ingredients. When we ate the pasta with the pesto and shrimp, it was the best pasta dish I have ever tasted. It was so good. We had a lot of fun and we got to take home any food we had made but didn't manage to eat. The class is held in a little cosy rustic kitchen but with modern hobs etc so it was very easy to cook in there. At first I was worried I was going to be late as I couldn't find where it was even though I was on the correct street however I found it in the end. It is easy to find, you just go into the street from the main square and just keep walking down until you feel like you are near the end of the street and then you will see a little door on the left with the cooking school name on it. I had a lot of fun there and would love to do another cooking class with Mama Corleone in the future if I am in Palermo again. Definitely worth booking a class here!

Fantastico! I took 3 other cooking classes with different chefs. Chef Antonio by far was the very best. You not only learn how to make delicious dishes , but you are throughly entertained by Chef Antonio’s charming and humorous personality. You feel like you are cooking and eating with your own Sicilian family. This class is a must while in Sicily.
