Shared Experience
Your experience

    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.

    Chef Maurizio’s pasta and tiramisu class in Catania was one of the highlights of my trip. From the moment I arrived, he was incredibly kind, welcoming, and full of energy. Maurizio is more than a chef—he’s a true artist. Between his passion for cooking and the incredible music he played, the entire experience felt warm, lively, and unforgettable. I walked in as a complete novice and left with new skills, great memories, and feeling like I had made a new friend in Maurizio. If you’re in Catania, this is an absolute must-do.

    What an amazing experience! We had a wonderful time learning how to make zucchini, pasta, and tiramisu. Lots of fun and laughs as well as delicious food. Maurizio is a treasure. One of my favorite memories of Sicily!

    Cooking with Maurizio was a wonderful experience. He has a beautiful home and made us all feel like welcome guests. We made amazing dishes and enjoyed incredible music. I am so happy we booked this experience. If I return I will definitely come back for another cooking experience.

    I had a solo class with Maurizio and while I originally felt a bit shy, Maurizio quickly broke the ice by offering I feed the local neighborhood cat. It was a sweet start to the class. I truly enjoyed the afternoon I spent with Maurizio and was delighted by how easy the pasta making tutorial was. We made my favorite dessert, tiramisu, and it was fantastic! If you’re questioning whether the book with Maurizio, look no further! I am looking forward to making my homemade pasta and tiramisu in the very near future.

    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.
