Blanca Bar In Aci castello

We had visited the castle a few days before and knew we wanted to come back to the Piazza to visit a restaurant. When we arrived in town, we were drawn to Blanca as there were people already seated, and the vibe in the Piazza was great with locals walking dogs and kids playing. The view of the floodlit castle was also impressive. The staff here are all lovely and friendly. The lady who served us was thrilled to hear we were English so she could practice her speaking. Frankly, she speaks better English than a lot of English people and was charming with it. We had soft drinks, and my son had fried pizza, which is a calzone but fried! We likened it to a savoury doughnut - delicious! I had the tortellini which was just the right sized portion. We also asked for bread and were pleasantly surprised to get a pizza base brushed with what I think was rosemary butter. For the two second courses, bread, 3 drinks and a bottle of water we paid 53€ which I think was great value. Most certainly recommend.

Delicious pasta alla norma, with eggplants fired just seconds before serving! Generous glass of wine, one of the best we had in the Catania area! Coperto's price little high.
