5 Panetti In Catania

19/10/2025: Dont know why rating is so low, amazing place, excellent food, stellar service. Highly recommend!

05/10/2025: I booked conveniently online, and that's a plus. When we got there, they let us choose a better table than the one randomly assigned by the system. The place isn't huge, but it also has outdoor space. It's tastefully decorated, offering a welcoming atmosphere, but there were times when we couldn't talk because the music was too loud. We ordered a Sicilian Spritz, which tasted only of prosecco and was missing one of the ingredients: basil. When I asked if I could have it, the waitress seemed almost shocked and placed a leaf on the abundant ice in the glass. My friend had a non-alcoholic drink, which she finished after the second sip because it was almost all ice. The vegetarian tapas are varied and, I must say, quite good. The so-called "focaccia" is a kind of crispy pizza, completely unlike focaccia. The "pizza" is a very thin crust and also quite small (the cheapest is around 12 euros). I also had a small problem with cleaning a plate, which was promptly replaced by the waiter, who apologized. The cover charge is a whopping €2.50 per person. In conclusion, for a substantial aperitivo (sharing two small plates of tapas, a "focaccia...ina" and a "pizza...ina" and having two drinks, one of which was a non-alcoholic drink with more than average ice), we spent a whopping €29 each, which in other places would allow you to dine lavishly... I didn't want to leave this 3-star review because I don't like giving negative reviews, but I received an email from the booking system inviting me to do so, and here it is 🙆🏻‍♀️
