MATERIA THROUGH ENCOUNTERS AND EXPERIENCES
THE EXPERIENCES OF MATERIA
Materia is a living space, constantly shifting in form and rhythm.
It welcomes those who want to experience cuisine in different ways—not just sitting at the table, but also kneading dough, toasting, participating.
Each experience is shaped around people, their desires, and the joy of being together.
In the evening, Materia becomes more intimate: dinner by reservation welcomes those in search of time, flavor, and attention.
Depending on the season, you can also enjoy a carefully curated aperitif in the courtyard or in the dining room, accompanied by small bites and a selection of wines.
A moment of conviviality designed for hotel guests and locals alike, always faithful to the simple, authentic spirit that defines Materia.
DINE IN THE KITCHEN
10 DISHES, 5 SEATS, 1 CHEF
An exclusive experience for those who want to live the kitchen from the inside, without filters.
You start in the kitchen, eat in the kitchen, observe the team at work, listen to stories, gestures, and rhythms.
The menu—ten surprise courses—is created daily by Chef Bianca Celano, with dishes featuring meat, fish, and shellfish, inspired by the market, the season, and her creativity.
A different way to discover Materia: intimate, direct, immersive.
Because here, the table can also be a workbench.
PRIVATE & CORPORATE EVENTS
Materia is the perfect setting for special dinners, celebrations, themed evenings, or business gatherings.
We can host events either in our venue—between the dining room and Habitat’s courtyard—or in external locations chosen by the client, tailoring each proposal to the context and occasion.
Whether it’s an intimate anniversary or a corporate moment, every event is custom-built with the care, hospitality, and quality that define our cuisine.
catering
Materia’s cuisine can travel, adapt, and transform—without losing its soul.
We offer tailor-made catering services for events of up to 70 guests, where every detail is thoughtfully curated: from the menu to the table setting, from décor to timing.
Our catering isn’t standardized—it’s conceived, cooked, and served with care.
Each dish is born from a shared idea, a dialogue with the client, and deep respect for seasonality, culinary memory, and quality ingredients.
The menu is always tailor-made, inspired by tradition yet open to contemporary influences.
COOKING CLASSES
Materia hosts workshops, hands-on lessons, and seasonal journeys for those who want to dive into the most authentic flavors of Sicilian cuisine.
We teach traditional dishes, especially simple yet meaningful plant-based and family recipes.
Our signature course is fish cous cous, prepared the traditional way: from rolling the semolina to slow cooking, and the rich, fragrant broth that brings it all together.
Each class is an opportunity to learn, share, and take a piece of Sicily with you.
TEAM BUILDING & TRAINING
We believe in the power of connection—even in the workplace.
That’s why we offer team-building and corporate training experiences designed to strengthen bonds between colleagues, collaborators, and partners.
Programs that blend relationships and cuisine, where the kitchen becomes a tool for communication, listening, and building together.
Often, it all starts around a table—or a stove.
We organize collective cooking classes, informal and engaging experiences where you knead, taste, and work side by side.
A chance to break the mold, take on new challenges, and rediscover the value of collaboration.
