- Tasting of Local Specialties
Join us for a unique journey through the heart of Catania’s historic center, away from the usual tourist paths, where you will immerse yourself in the true essence of Sicily through three carefully selected tastings of local products.
We’ll start with a fresh seasonal orange juice or, for wine lovers, a glass of fine wine from a local winery to awaken your senses. Then, savor the famous Sicilian “rustici”: crispy arancini, tasty cipolline, and fragrant cartocciate, all prepared according to traditional recipes that tell stories of flavor and culture. To finish, enjoy a refreshing granita paired with a soft brioche. During the tour, I will share curiosities, anecdotes, and secrets of Catania’s historic center, for an authentic and unforgettable experience.

- I had a great time with Maurizio learning how to cook some traditional Sicilian dishes. The food was great, I learned a lot of secret tips, and had a great afternoon. I would definitely do this again.
- Maurizio, was such a fantastic instructor! He showed us some delicious Italian/Sicilian dishes that we've never heard of but will now cook them for life! He has a great sense of humor and a amazing taste in music. You will not regret taking a class from him ❤️
- I had the chance to do this cooking class with Maurizio, who was an exceptional host. Not only were the dishes prepared (two types of pasta with their sauce and a tiramisu) original and delicious, but he also paired each step with a drink (virgin cocktail, prosecco, wine, etc.). We discussed at length his passion for music and many topics concerning Italy, all in a good atmosphere and very pleasant good humor. We did not see the time pass and went well beyond the three hours of basic class. I highly recommend Maurizio!
- We really enjoyed the cooking class with Maurizio in his home. We did the 2 pasta and tiramisu class, and it was all very hands on, not a demonstration. The recipes were great, and the antipasto he provided was delicious. He is quite the character, and had great tips and fun stories.
- Maurizio was amazing what a fantastic cook. He was so welcoming and generous with all the beautiful food and wine. There were 5 courses and we helped him cook some of them too. He is so kind and we got to the desert course and we were so full we only had a small amount so he gave us all the tiramisu and leftover pasta to take home and eat. It was so delicious. If you love great food good company and some wine and to learn about Sicilian cooking please consider spending some time with Maruzio he was truly awesome.

Where
Maurizio
Cesarina from 2023Location: Catania (CT) 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.
