Shared Experience
Your experience
  • Grandmother salad
  • Tagliatelle with almod pesto and basil
  • Tiramisù

I love to give a modern twist to traditional dishes, enhancing the scents and flavors of our land. I will guide you through the preparation of three typical dishes with a gourmet twist. Grandma's salad, a Catania classic, becomes refined with quality ingredients such as datterini, "scopazza" oregano, soft salted ricotta and e.v.o. nocellara dell'Etna oil. Almond pesto pasta, a traditional Catania recipe, is enriched with new flavors, such as lemon zest. Finally, tiramisu, already beloved throughout Italy, is transformed into a Sicilian dessert with the addition of Marsala wine. We will start with various samples of the Sicilian tradition for a complete experience.

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!!!

The cooking course with Maurizio was great fun. We made delicious pasta and tiramisu and Maurizio was a great host who explained everything to us.

We had an amazing experience with Maurizio and his cousin. They made it so special with appetizers and wine, but also with their expertise and hilarious bantering. We made so much food and have lots of leftovers, it will feed us for days!! Overall, cooking with Maurizio will be something that we take back with us to our kitchen in Germany. Thank you so much!

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.
