- It was a very nice cooking class!! The cook was an incredable person who has a lot of passion and really want you to learn how to cook. He guided us and learned us a lot! I would highly reccomend this experience for everyone!
- The cooking class was amazing. Massimilano was so welcoming and helpful. He knows much about Sicily and the art of cooking. He was interested in the guests and told us many many stories about his life and the island. The pasta was amazing and he showde every step with incredible passion and love.
- Me and my girlfriend had a wonderful time at Massimiliano’s. It was a glimpse into a Sicilian household that is rare to come by as a tourist. We received insights into typical Sicilian life, their cooking style, their personal background, whilst hearing stories about Etna and the surrounding towns and villages. Not to mention we ate some delicious food whilst we were there. I wished I was a local so I could come over every night. Thank you for having us!
- I booked this experience with my partner. Massimiliano made us feel very welcome and comfortable from the start. The food was delicious and Massimiliano was really was passionate about what he does and also got to know us as people. He gave us the best experience and we had a lovely evening. We were able to take our time with everything. Thank you, definitely recommend 😊
- A new way to disconnect from weekly stress, we had fun and relaxed, ate well and met other participants. To be repeated.

Where
Massimiliano
Cesarina from 2025Location: Catania (CT) Languages: Italian and EnglishPassionate about cooking, I started my journey with desserts, but after attending courses on Roman-style sheet pan pizza and Neapolitan pizza, my passion truly settled in this area. Sheet pan pizza has a great advantage: it allows even non-professionals to achieve excellent results using simple household equipment. No need for mixers or professional tools—thanks to the "no knead" technique, you can make high-quality dough by following a few essential rules. One of the most important aspects is understanding the difference between dough maturation and leavening. These two steps are often confused, but it’s proper maturation that ensures a light, digestible dough with great flavor.
