Il Tubo In Catania

my undisputed favorite restaurant

Excellent pasta in generous portions for under €10. A real bargain in terms of value for money.

This is the only restaurant we visited twice in the few days we were in Catania. And it was worth it. Friendly welcome from the moment we entered. Menu in Italian and English. Service was fast and attentive to the customer. Everything we tried on the menu was fresh and very tasty. I recommend visiting it.

We stopped for a sandwich...the house one is renowned and really good...the atmosphere was relaxing, a bit romantic, thanks to the floral lampshades...really cute...I'll be back to try the spaghetti with clams and squid ink...the passing of these first courses to other tables left a truly tempting aroma...the plates kept returning empty, so it's definitely worth a try 😉

Very tasty dinner. Good price. 2 persons 27€.

Typically Sicilian cuisine. Nothing fancy, but there's something for everyone. Simple, fresh, Italian dishes. Very affordable prices.

Everything was perfect. From Mr. Fortunato, who welcomes you with such a cheerful smile, to the waiter Luca, who is always kind and helpful despite the restaurant being crowded. I highly recommend going for a pleasant lunch or dinner. Excellent value for money.

"Feel at home! Warm welcome, impeccable service, and excellent food. Special mention for the horse meat, which they recommended: truly delicious! Excellent value for money. 5 stars well deserved!"

At Tubo, there's nothing but culinary delights. To say the food is excellent is an understatement. Everything is amazing, from the food to the staff. The owner, Annamaria, is a true manager who knows how to deftly manage everything, managing to please every customer. Overall, the entire staff is excellent: Fortunato, Rossella, Angelo, Luca, and others, all very skilled and kind. In short, Tubo makes all the difference... try it and believe it!

Trattoria "il Tubo" – Review Entering here is like taking a journey straight to the typical trattorias of Catania: a warm atmosphere, authentic Sicilian staff, and authentic, home-style flavors, unfussy but full of character. The meat tastes like the classic steak your grandmother used to cook, the sauces are rich and authentic… something that puts you back on track 😍 The place is packed (and that's no coincidence), generous portions, and impressive flavors. 📌 Note on the service: good intentions, but a bit confusing: the first course is served without forks, the water without glasses, and a few details that need to be reworked. After all, it's not the guy's fault if he has to do everything himself. But in the end, given the quality and the final bill… it all makes up for it 👍 💶 Total spent: €33 for two (3 slices of meat, a first course, spaghetti with clams, water, salad) Prices from another era. 🔚 Conclusion: absolutely worth a try. The food here is authentic.
