Cassatelle e Caffè In Catania

18/04/2026: A cult restaurant serving fresh seafood and other Sicilian delicacies.

14/04/2026: While in town for work, I recently ate at this self-service restaurant on a recommendation. Being in the industry, I can confirm that the ingredients are both fresh and defrosted/chilled. Unfortunately, what I didn't appreciate at all was the food: simple, poorly prepared dishes loaded with oil, vinegar, and salt, as if trying to cover them up. I'm referring to a simple, tasteless, and disjointed pasta dish with clams, or a vinegary octopus salad. The place has become a tourist hotspot, and I know you can tell by the prices, which are based on sentiment. For identical dishes, I paid two different bills, adding almost €10 to the price. What a shame.
