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.

Maurizio is an excellent host. My wife and I had a truly enjoyable evening. It felt more like being invited to a local home for dinner rather than just attending a typical cooking class. We learned how to make two delicious types of pasta and tiramisu. Throughout the process, Maurizio kept us entertained and engaged. As we enjoyed the food we made together, we shared many stories and had endless laughter. If you’re looking for a great experience in Catania, I highly recommend this place. 6/5.

I had an absolute amazing time with Maurizio! From the abundance of apps, welcome special sparkling fruit blend. Followed by several hours of cooking 3 different pastas (with lots of accompanying wine!), he made for an unforgettable morning, afternoon. Wonderful company and food; can’t recommend him enough! He shared his passion for food and music! I felt like a life long friend!! Also can’t wait to take another class with him! Suzie Ryan

Absolutely amazing experience! From the second you walk in you get transitional snacks and beautiful fresh bread you could be full off this alone. You make 2 pastas and tiramisu we were so full we got to take home the leftovers which was so nice. Maurizio is such a lovely and fun host. You should ask him to show you his music room he is very talented. Would recommend to anyone well worth going for a traditional experience!!! 10/10
