Chiosco Alkimia In Catania

05/04/2026: Excellent family lunch, authentic atmosphere, and fair prices We visited this trattoria on Saturday for lunch as a group of 9, including 3 children. The experience was decidedly positive and satisfying. Highlights: Quality and Price: The prices are fair and transparent, with first courses ranging between €10 and €15. Generous portions and authentic flavors. Service and Atmosphere: Despite it being a Saturday, the place wasn't overly crowded, and we didn't wait too long to be served, which is a big plus when there are a large group. Style: It's an old-fashioned trattoria, very casual and without frills. Ideal for those looking for substance and a homey atmosphere. In short, an excellent option for a large group who want to eat well without spending a fortune. Recommended for a relaxed lunch out of town!

28/02/2026: We decided to try this trattoria at the recommendation of a friend. It wasn't an unforgettable experience, but overall it deserves a positive rating. We had a rustic appetizer, with very good mortadella, peperonata, and parmigiana. For the first course, pappardelle with mushrooms and tagliatelle with mushrooms and sausage. The first was good, although it could have benefited from a few more mushrooms. The second course was perhaps a little overcooked, but still good. For the second course, the grilled meat was disappointing, both in quantity and quality (the roulade was bad, the sausage was scant, and only the slice of meat was good). The tagliata with mushrooms and arugula was much better, but excellent on the palate. Finally, I enjoyed the house red wine.
