Thank you so much for such a great time, you were all incredible and we really loved spending time with you. The food we cooked was fabulous, we never found cannoli again that was so light and fresh, you completely changed our idea of how they should taste.

The best experience we had in Palermo! Lorenzo is an excellent translator and personable. It was nice to talk with him. Mia was patient and able to accommodate gluten free pasta and meatballs. Very clean kitchen, quaint, and enjoyable experience. The food was delicious! We recommend Mamma Corleone to anyone wanting to try a cooking class. It was a memorable experience we will cherish forever.

My adult daughter and I had a charming extended morning at this wonderful cooking school in Palermo. We learned how to make three local dishes: Sardine Meatballs in the most delicious Pomodoro sauce; Pumpkin and Sicilian Red Shrimp pasta and door utterly delicious Sicilian cookies for dessert. Mamma Corleone and her assistant Lea were supported by local translator Lorenzo and what a charming trio they made. They were both informative and entertaining. We very much enjoyed ourselves and our efforts were rewarded by a delicious lunch of all the goodies we had made, served with some crisp local wine. We were very much made to feel at home. If you’re in Palermo and remotely interested in learning some new recipes, do go to this cookery school. I promise you, you will be charmed. Grazi Mamma Corleone and all of the Crew!

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.

Great class! Maria Pia was an excellent source of knowledge and Lorenzo did a fantastic job not only translating but adding some humor and even taking pictures for us. Highly recommend! Btw the class is down an alleyway, don't worry -- you're in the right place. Just come a couple minutes before the time and they'll be there!

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
