    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.

    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!

    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.
