Ciao da Maurizio!
La mia specializzazione principale riguarda i primi piatti, ma non sottovaluto l'importanza delle vellutate e dei secondi di carne e pesce. Le mie creazioni culinarie si ispirano alle ricette tradizionali siciliane e calabresi, reinterpretate con un tocco moderno. Prediligo l'uso di prodotti locali, i cosiddetti "chilometro zero", per creare un'armonia inimitabile che esalta i colori, i profumi e i sapori autentici del nostro territorio. Vi invito a provare un primo piatto condito con il mio pesto di mandorle e basilico, o un intrigante pesto di pistacchio e pomodorini secchi. Offro anche deliziose proposte a base di tonno rosso e menta; filetto di maiale o manzo arricchiti da stravecchio e crema di cipolle bianche; polpettone di patate impreziosito da tonno rosso e capperi. E per finire in dolcezza, vi propongo dolci tradizionali realizzati con ricotta o crema di pistacchio, tra molte altre prelibatezze.
Le mie specialità

- Mr. Maurizio was great. As soon as we signed up for a food tasting. He contacted me to know what my food dislikes were. He stayed in contact until we entered Catania, Italy. He contacted me to set up a time and location according to where our hotel was located. On the food tour, Mr. Maurizio met with us and we walked around the center of Catania, giving us a tour of the city. He was very knowledgeable of the center and the monument's. We also tasted wine on our walking tour. We tried food and desserts that we would not have ever tried. They were good. We enjoyed Mr. Maurizio. He is very nice, respectful and professional. He also gave us suggestions on some tours to take and we did. Thank you Mr. Maurizio for everything. You made our food tour an experience to remember. Janice H.
- We had a wonderful evening with Maurizio and his sister. We cooked delicious food and they were excellent hosts. Would absolutely recommend them, we have never been so full with such excellent food. So worth the money, we were there for our honeymoon and it is a memory we will keep with us forever. Thank you!
- Our evening with Maurizio and his charming sister exceeded our expectations.From the appetizers through dessert, all of the dishes were incredible. We enjoyed learning to make pasta, tiramisu and pork cutlets under the supervision of this entertaining brother and sister team. To top off the evening, Mauricio treated us by sharing his musical talent, playing our favorite Billy Joel hits on the piano. Our evening hosted by Maurizio will definitely be remembered as a highlight of our time in Catania.
- I highly recommend doing this, it was so much fun. When we arrived at Chef Maurizio’s house there was a table full of antipasto and refreshments waiting for us. Did not take long for Chef Maurizio and his lovely sister to put us to work making the pasta. That’s when the fun started, there were eggshells in the dough and they started bickering, like siblings do, on who was at fault, this was so funny. I over soaked the lady finger for the tiramisu on purpose so I could get in on the bickering :) It really felt like I was at home cooking with my family. They had us laughing, slicing, dicing and drinking throughout the day. Everybody participated in the cooking and laughing. So be prepared to work and eat. But the memories will remain forever!
- This was so much fun making authentic Italian in the chefs kitchen. Not only did we leave full and happy, but the setting was absolutely beautiful. I have to say I loved the chef, but the highlight for me was the chef’s sister. An amazing cook in her own right, and though she didn’t speak a word if English, my group had no problem deciphering her playful banter with the chef. Amazing experience. Don’t pass it up.
