28/05/2025: We were tourists….and we really lucked out on this restaurant. We don’t like going to the tourist traps. This is a gem! I would recommend the pistachio pesto pasta! Amazing! The panelle palermitane, and the mini Sicilian Fritte were to die for….and in our second visit we ordered the Tuna tataki ….and again simply amazing! Definitely a must if you are in Catania

26/05/2025: Reading the menu you get the impression of high ambitions, unfortunately the kitchen can’t quite deliver on those ambitions. The food is almost there but needs that last bit of QC that only a great chef can deliver. I think that the restaurant would do itself a favour if it reduced the menu to 1/3 of the dishes and focused hard on getting those right. The service is impeccable and the wine list is fairly priced. All in all an ok experience but there is room for improvements.
