Hi from Maurizio!

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.

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.

Had such an awesome time at Maurizio's house for the cooking course. He welcomed me into the place and was very communicative about finding the place. Lots of laughter and clear instruction on how to make pasta and the sauces. So much food, wine and was the perfect end to my Sicily trip. Was such a pleasure to be in someone's home and see their passion for cooking.

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.

We had a wonderful day of cooking with Maurizio. He involved all four us and cooking from scratch made eating it so much more enjoyable, especially for the kids, who even ate eggplant! Maurizio was patient, humourous and welcoming throughout and it was a great family bonding experience in Catania.
