Shared Experience
Your experience
  • 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.

We had the most incredible time learning to make arancini and tiramisu with maurizio. He welcomed us into his apartment and treated us to food and wine and music. We learned how to make the food the authentic Sicilian way and had fun doing it. Highly recommend!

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.

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.
