I cannot more highly recommend Maurizio's cooking class and market tour! Maurizio is wonderful and extremely knowledgeable, but still very approachable. He taught us about the food in Sicily including the history and items in the market. Following the market tour, we had an amazing appetizer! We cooked our ingredients in his restaurant which is just a short walk from the market which was an unforgettable experience! This made for a perfect day :)
We met Maurizio at the Apollo Temple and walked through the food market. He shared his philosophy on cooking and we bought some fresh and seasonal food to prepare. Then went back to his beautiful restaurant and cooked lunch. It was so good we are having dinner at his restaurant tonight. Thank you Maurizio!
This was a lot of fun. Maurizio was a great host, the market tour was very informative, and we made ourselves a fantastic lunch under his patient guidance. Highly recommended.
The Maccalle Sicilian Bistrot is a place where you can enjoy traditional Sicilian cuisine with a contemporary touch. The chef's philosophy is to turn his grandmother's recipes into contemporary dishes, paying meticulous attention to seasonal products that are strictly local and fresh.
