    The "arancino" is a typical Catanese specialty, the result of the historical traditions of our land, whose origins are lost in the mists of time...

    Its preparation, although relatively simple, requires numerous precautions, which, if all followed properly, determine the perfect creation of this fantastic rice wrapper in the shape of the Etna volcano, filled with ragù (the traditional), or, through the variations more recent, butter and ham, pistachio, spinach, mushrooms, etc. In addition to learning how to prepare a traditional Catanese arancino, you will learn to prepare a special tiramisu, with the addition of local ingredients, which make this traditional Italian dessert typically Sicilian.

    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

    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.

    Our family had a wonderful day with Maurizio and his sister Lucia! They welcomed us into their home, our family of 4 (two teens) had so much fun learning to make 3 types of pasta and even tiramisu! We worked hard, learned a lot and had an incredible meal! 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.
