Maurizio
I devote myself with passion to traditional regional cooking, embracing recipes from Emilia, Tuscany, and Lazio, without shying away from culinary innovation and exploration. I pay close attention to the seasonality of ingredients and the origins of raw materials, favoring locally-sourced products. Equipped with excellent communication skills, I place particular emphasis on the story behind every dish, as well as on hospitality and welcoming my guests.

- A pleasant evening discovering and making a new recipe! Maurizio was welcoming, and it was a lovely evening of chatting, frying, and more! :)
- It was a fantastic experience! We asked to organize a small cooking challenge between coworkers. Maurizio welcomed us into his delightful home, immediately made us feel comfortable, the atmosphere was fun and familiar… and after a generous aperitivo (all homemade) accompanied by excellent sparkling wine, we “got our hands dirty.” Maurizio guided us through this experience, telling us about the origins and giving us tips for rolling out the pasta perfectly… and once finished, we cooked and savored our creations, continuing to toast. The winner was declared (awarded with a very original gadget) and we also tasted a cake whose secret recipe is part of Maurizio’s family heritage – we can only say that it was truly amazing. The day was truly enjoyable. It was exactly what we needed: hospitality, sharing, and fun. An experience to recommend and repeat!
- Maurizio and Marco were absolutely delightful guides and hosts — they were warm, kind, and most importantly, made sure to complete my Bologna experience with the best food in town. Maurizio's tagliatelle is exquisite — but what I'll remember are a lovely pair of tour guides who made my solo trip through Italy just a little more memorable. Highly recommended for other LGBTQ+ travelers looking for a sense of community as they make their way through Bologna.
- Truly fantastic evening! Maurizio, the host, created a wonderful and warm welcome in a beautiful location, assisted by Dante and Camillo – fantastic “icebreakers” for the evening, very well-behaved and not at all bothersome (a dog and a cat). The dish prepared was presented and explained with precision and professionalism. We worked, dined, and chatted very pleasantly. Thank you very much!!! 🌸 🌸🌸
- It was a wonderful experience. Maurizio is super welcoming, professional, and authentic. He taught us how to prepare two delicious dishes. An evening different from the usual, full of fun and sharing. All accompanied by a glass of wine and his delicacies. I highly recommend this experience to everyone.
