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.

- Absolutely amazing experience! From the second you walk in you get transitional snacks and beautiful fresh bread you could be full off this alone. You make 2 pastas and tiramisu we were so full we got to take home the leftovers which was so nice. Maurizio is such a lovely and fun host. You should ask him to show you his music room he is very talented. Would recommend to anyone well worth going for a traditional experience!!! 10/10
- It was such a wonderful experience to learn with Maurizio. It’s something my family will never forget. We’ve even made the Tiramisu in exactly the same way we were taught since returning to the UK. Thank you so much for such a brilliant night. I’d recommend this to everyone.
- We thought we were just going to get a cooking class. We got a lot more! We started with Anti Pasta and wine and nice discussions. Then we moved on to the pasta making. (I cannot wait to try my newfound talents of pasta making on my family) From there, we had great discussions and then the music started. He is a great musician and shared his musical talents with us. Unfortunately, we had to leave. Regardless, we have made a lifelong friend.
- Un’ esperienza cosi’ straordinaria. Incredibilmente ben informato e ospitale! Lo consiglio vivamente!!
- We went to Mauizio’s place in Catania for a cooking class. It was epic! Learnt a lot from a very hospitable host who is also a talented musician. So much food and we felt very welcome in his home! Absolutely loved his cousin Lucia and their interaction. Would definitely recommend!

Maurizio
Cesarina from 2023Location: Catania Languages: Italian and EnglishMy 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.
