  • Grandmother salad
  • Tagliatelle with almod pesto and basil
  • Tiramisù

I love adding a modern twist to traditional dishes, enhancing the aromas and flavors of our land. In this course I will guide you in the preparation of three typical dishes revisited in a gourmet key. We will start with grandma's salad, a classic from Catania made more refined with datterini, oregano "scopazza," soft salted ricotta and nocellara dell'Etna olive oil. We will continue with an almond pesto pasta, enriched by the freshness of lemon zest. We will conclude with a Sicilian tiramisu with Marsala wine. The experience will be accompanied by traditional Sicilian tastings.

We had the most fun day with Maurizio! From the outset he welcomed us warmly into his home. Between learning how to make pastas and tiramisu, he shared lots of local knowledge about Sicily. He is clearly very passionate about food (and music), and we enjoyed every moment of the class. Since we were a small group - there was even plenty of leftovers to take home! The class went for longer than 3 hours (which we didn’t mind at all) so maybe don’t book anything else afterwards! Would highly recommend Maurizio’s class to anyone!

The most lovely man! Who’s taught us how to make real pasta from scratch along with his own almond pesto! We had an amazing evening that we’ll never forget. Maurizio was very kind and helpful! And even showed us his amazing piano skills at the end of the night. He really makes you feel at home we even got to feed the cat that lives on the roofs. Highly recommend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Booking with Maurizio was a great experience. He was a good teacher and the food we prepared was wonderful. He shared his music with us as well. I would highly recommend him.

Maorizio is an interesting fellow, a mudician and cook. We had a very nice experience cooking with him two vegetable appetizers, and a special recepy of pork loin that he created. Everythibg was very tasety, and the atmosphere was very pleasant.

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.
