Chef Dede In Catania

10/04/2026: A wonderful winery located on the slopes of Mount Etna in the municipality of Trecastagni. An elegant shop staffed by two friendly and knowledgeable staff, where you can taste and purchase all of their wines. The signature wine is, of course, the Etna red, aged in both steel barrels and barriques. The 2019 Riserva deserves special mention. Nero d'Avola is also produced, but in smaller quantities. Lunch is available in the winery's osteria, with a fixed menu for €50.00, including appetizers, first course, second course, and dessert, along with four glasses of wine paired with the dishes. Dinner is available à la carte. Highly recommended.

07/04/2026: I booked a tasting menu for 06/04/26. I asked for information on the menu and it was explained verbally to me: a selection of appetizers, 3 first courses, a second course, dessert, wine, and coffee. I asked for the menu to be sent to me via WZP, they told me immediately that we would send it, but nothing arrived. When we got there, the location was well-kept, with no negative comments to make. I think the owner explained a lot about the wine, vineyards, etc., and we visited the cellar. I should point out that lunch was supposed to be at 1:00 PM. Anyway, when we got to the dining room, to make a long story short, we had 2 small appetizers, a first course with seconds, and a second course, a cannoli with chocolate cream. I would have preferred ricotta, but nothing to complain about the chef, he was good. I asked for fruit instead of the cannoli and was refused because they only serve it to those with intolerances. I think that after paying 55 euros per person, this is not something to say to a customer. The service in the dining room leaves a lot to be desired. Try to improve.
