Your experience
  • Cavatelli with ricotta e "'nduja"
  • Tagliatelle with almod pesto and basil
  • Tiramisù

I love blending traditional recipes with something new, always respecting the scents and flavors of our beautiful land. Each thing we will prepare together and enjoy has its own story, which I will tell you in detail. Sicilian almond pesto, for example, a traditional Sicilian recipe for an excellent first course, is enhanced by other scents and flavors of our land.

Pasta with ricotta cheese, another traditional first course from Catania, is enriched with "'nduja," a typical Calabrian salami that is increasingly becoming part of Sicilian cuisine as well. The "tiramisu," a dessert that is now part of all Italian traditions, will have a Sicilian touch given by the wine "marsala." These dishes will be preceded by several samplings of Sicilian flavors.

This was the best food experience we have had in Sicily. Maurizio welcomed us into his home like family and taught us how to make delicious arancini and tiramisu. The food was great and Maurizio was very fun! We would highly recommend this to anyone visiting Sicily.

We had the most fun day with Maurizio! From the outset he welcomed us warmly into his home. Between learning how to make pastas and tiramisu, he shared lots of local knowledge about Sicily. He is clearly very passionate about food (and music), and we enjoyed every moment of the class. Since we were a small group - there was even plenty of leftovers to take home! The class went for longer than 3 hours (which we didn’t mind at all) so maybe don’t book anything else afterwards! Would highly recommend Maurizio’s class to anyone!

The most lovely man! Who’s taught us how to make real pasta from scratch along with his own almond pesto! We had an amazing evening that we’ll never forget. Maurizio was very kind and helpful! And even showed us his amazing piano skills at the end of the night. He really makes you feel at home we even got to feed the cat that lives on the roofs. Highly recommend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

My main expertise lies in pasta dishes, but I don't underestimate the importance of velvety soups and meat and fish entrees. My culinary creations draw inspiration from traditional Sicilian and Calabrian recipes, reinterpreted with a modern twist. I prefer using local ingredients, so-called "zero kilometer" products, to create a unique harmony that enhances the authentic colors, fragrances, and flavors of our region. I invite you to try a pasta dish seasoned with my almond and basil pesto, or an intriguing pistachio and sun-dried tomato pesto. I also offer delightful options made with red tuna and mint; pork or beef fillet enriched with vintage vinegar and white onion cream; potato meatloaf embellished with red tuna and capers. And to sweetly conclude, I propose traditional desserts made with ricotta or pistachio cream, among many other delicacies.
