Our first night in Catania started in this extremely atmospheric restaurant. With an incredibly tasty salad with delicate flavors, a burger that you didn't want to finish and a pasta dish that even if you don't eat eggplant you will lick the plate!!! Nice service, nice music, nice aesthetics!!!

According to my wife, the best parmigiana di melanzana with mint of her life. My own choice, pasta alla norma, was also of high quality.

🌟 A pearl of taste and authenticity: Buatta 🌟
There are places that are unforgettable, and Buatta is undoubtedly one of them. From the moment you cross the threshold, you are welcomed by a warm and refined atmosphere, where modern design tastefully meets references to Sicilian tradition — a perfect balance between elegance and identity.
The menu is a sensory journey that tells the story of the territory with authentic, but never banal, dishes. Each course is a surprise: excellent raw materials, refined combinations, generous portions. All seasoned with impeccable presentation and professional but never cold service, on the contrary, always smiling and available.
The staff is the real added value: attentive, competent, passionate. They guide you through the flavors with expertise and with that touch of kindness that makes every customer feel pampered.
We tasted various specialties — from creative appetizers to flavorful first courses, to desserts that are pure poetry. Each dish speaks the language of love for cooking.
The wine list is up to par: extensive, well-selected, with labels that enhance the best of local and national production.
Buatta is not just a restaurant: it is an experience to be lived, a place where you feel good and leave with the desire to return. Perfect for a romantic dinner, a lunch with friends or a special evening.
In a word? Unforgettable.

Returning from a long day in the south of the eastern coast of Sicily we decided to stop at this restaurant, selected a few years ago for the program 4 Ristoranti. Due to traffic, we booked for 11 pm (I appreciated the possibility of being able to do so). The menu is interesting, but I would have liked more Sicilianness. We ordered an octopus taco as an appetizer, very good. Followed by a cunsatizzo brontese with pistachio pesto, stracciatella, Sicilian bacon. Not bad, tasty. Then buatta with tomato meatballs, served very very hot and a little too salty. Good service, prices ok.

We came here for lunch and had the best food we've eaten since arriving in Sicily. Very reasonably priced and the staff are very friendly and helpful. The pasta alla norma was delicious!

What an amazing place, the food was amazing. The location was perfect, and the outside dining option was incredible, as other people/families walked by.
The menu was super diverse, fun, most importantly amazing flavors.

Wij kwamen al wandelend toevallig bij Buatta terecht. Het zag er leuk uit en we kregen een tafeltje buiten in het rustige, gezellige straatje. Er was een vriendelijke achtergrondmuziek en een kalm geroezemoes van gasten.
We kozen de pasta alla Norma en een vegetarische ‘cunzatizzo’, met een frisse salade erbij. De Norma was zeer goed bereid, met geroosterde stukjes aubergine, pasta al dente, verse kruiden en een volle, rijke tomatensaus. De cunzatizzo was nieuw voor ons: een bodem van een soort luchtig brooddeeg, met een grote hoeveelheid geroosterde groenten mooi gerangschikt erop: een aangename ontdekking! We dronken er mineraalwater bij. Als dessert namen we espresso en huisgemaakte tiramisu, die zacht en luchtig was, een echte dolce.
We hebben in alle rust kunnen eten, de medewerkers waren attent, vriendelijk en duidelijk trots op hun restaurant, en de rekening was keurig gespecificeerd. Wij raden een diner bij Buatta van harte aan!
