Caffe' Epoca In Catania

03/02/2025: The place has potential but absolutely needs improvement. The neglected environment, the plastic tarpaulins to cover some things at the entrance, the rustic interior is fine but the little courtyard that you can see from the glass with the little house that is a storage room or something that looks like a shack, in short... From cure. Let's move on to lunch with the fixed menu that we booked with the discount. The shocking appetizer made up of small samples almost all made with puff pastry or sliced ​​bread, the only really good thing was the spinach salad with porcini mushrooms and flakes of parmesan. The first courses were good and the second courses were passable, we chose the barbecue and it went well but at the next table they chose the escalopes with mushrooms and left everything. The house wine is good. For dessert we chose the homemade tiramisu which was essentially made up of ladyfingers soaked in coffee and cocoa but we had to look for the mascarpone cream, while the cake with ricotta was good. Limoncello is unthinkable, there couldn't be any more scarce. Overall if they improve the starter and a few other things I might give them another chance. The price of the fixed menu is 30 euros. I recommend adding 5 euros but greatly improve the quality.

27/01/2025: Antipasto con funghi fatti in diversi modi e tutti ottimi. Tagliatelle alla boscaiola (solo funghi) buoni, risotto ai funghi ottimo. Vino della casa 6 +, tiramisù buono, cuore caldo rivedibile. Locale familiare e accogliente
