    Cooking with Maurizio

    Maurizio was amazing. He taught us how to make our own pasta......2 different kinds and some yummy tiramisu. He took his time and explained everything to us. We invited him to sit with us because there was so much extra food. Thoroughly enjoyed his company and especially his fascinating record collection. Highly recommend having Maurizio Opinato for a cooking class;-))

    Sicilian authentic cooking experience!

    I wrote this: Please look no further than this true authentic Sicilian cooking experience right in Renata’s cucinotta! We had the honor of meeting Renata, feeling so welcomed inside her home and kitchen with coffee, water, and a tour of her gorgeous terrace and rooftop with a view of Mt. Etna. We had a cooking class with two different pasta (tagliatelle with Sicilian pesto and ricotta lemon filled ravioli) and then of course a traditional tiramisu. Renata is so lovely, caring, and shared her hospitality with all of her heart. It was the first time we made pasta and tiramisu from scratch, and the best part is her teaching methods and skills to help us create the dishes. Towards the end, she set up an entire table of Italian tapas, wine, sparkling water, and served us the meal we prepared. She inspired us to create these dishes at home and printed out the recipes for us to take back to our own kitchen. We highly, highly, highly recommend this experience with Renata, she was so warm and inviting and we had great conversation the entire time. We will recommend her to any of our friends and family visiting Catania!

    Great personalised cooking lesson

    Paullo from Tacchi & Sapori Factory was great. Special personalised experience. Made Tiramisu and two delicious pasta dishes. Got to enjoy them all with a glass of red. She even took photos of the experience for you.

    We tried for hour and...

    We tried for hour and half to make this class. Google Maps kept us going in circles and heat. Messaged multiple times and called. No response. Upon arriving at location we were considered “no show” and rude response from host. All we wanted was help with communicating directions.

    Small group Pasta and Tiramisu class in Catania by Cesarine: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Catania.

    How much does Small group Pasta and Tiramisu class in Catania by Cesarine cost?

    +

    Prices start at $79 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Catania usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Small group Pasta and Tiramisu class in Catania by Cesarine take?

    +

    Plan for about 3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Catania is not rushed.

    Is Small group Pasta and Tiramisu class in Catania by Cesarine worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 68 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.5/5 across 40 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Catania, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Small group Pasta and Tiramisu class in Catania by Cesarine?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Small group Pasta and Tiramisu class in Catania by Cesarine suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Small group Pasta and Tiramisu class in Catania by Cesarine?

    +

    Around 14 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Catania can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Catania and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Small group Pasta and Tiramisu class in Catania by Cesarine start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Catania within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Catania?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Catania experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Catania Sicilian Street Food Tour: Small Group by Do Eat Better, Etna Tour - HalfDay Small Group & licensed Tour Guide, Tour Etna and Wine Tasting. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Catania?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Catania?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Small group Pasta and Tiramisu class in Catania by Cesarine?

    +

    Included: Beverages (water, wines and coffee); Local Taxes; Tasting of the 2 pasta recipes and tiramisu; Pasta (2 iconic pasta types) and Tiramisu-making Class; and Italian Aperitivo: prosecco and nibbles. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
