La Cantina Del Siciliano In Catania

What can I say when something is perfect? ​​It's perfect, which is becoming very rare, so it's worth mentioning. Excellent service, food, and cuisine... We don't even need to talk about it! The owner is lovely; I recommend him 2000%!

I had lunch here, and right from the appetizer, I knew what to expect. The arancini were amazing; I could taste every bite! Not to mention the pasta, everything was designed to amaze with every bite. The staff was welcoming and attentive, ready to recommend perfect wine pairings and unique dishes!

A lovely surprise! A bistro located in Catania's historic center. The cuisine is very refined, with generous portions, above-average prices, and a slightly above-average wine list. The nearest parking lot is about 500 meters away.

Everything was delicious, I was so hungry that I forgot to take some photos... next time... 😁

An absolutely must when in Catania. The food is in a class of its own. The staff is professional, but even more so, charming. You will not be disappointed in suggestions and advice from anyone in the staff. Great address to have!

A bottle of water opened before we even got to the table cost €2, the cover charge was €3, a glass of wine was €8, and the main course I ate was €12... Everyone can do their own math. On the other hand, the restaurant is nice, with tasteful lighting and a heated terrace. The food I ate was quite average. The service, for the price, was the same as in any bar. It's possible that having booked a table and eaten inside would have been a bit better. In conclusion, nothing remarkable.

We had beef sirloin with sautéed seasonal vegetables and penne with rabbit ragu for dinner on Februay 23rd. The taste was very nice, though the vegetables were a bit oily. Unfortunately, something seemed to have gotten wrong, because at 5 in the morning, both of us had to run for the bathroom and it all came out again. It's a very nice restaurant, so please adress the possible issues, and you will for sure have continuous success!

Fantastic. Got in jetlagged for my first time into Sicily and my host recommended the spot and made us a reservation. We got the royal treatment.

A very nice bistro, right in the historic center, with indoor and outdoor dining options, even in winter thanks to the halogen lights. We ordered two entrees and two beers, and I have to say the service was pretty good, too.

During our vacation, we ate dinner there twice. The food was really delicious, but unfortunately, the service left much to be desired. The head waiter was unfriendly and disrespectful (perhaps even racist towards Asians?). The first time we went, we were seated right by the entrance. It was quite crowded, which we could understand and accept, as we hadn't made a reservation. However, the second time, we had specifically reserved for 7 pm to ensure it wouldn't be so busy. When we arrived, only two tables were occupied. Despite this, we were relegated to an inconvenient spot because all the other tables were supposedly already reserved – even though we had also made a reservation! The waiter rudely stated, "No, that's not possible, this table is for others." But when we left, the tables were still empty! What a load of nonsense! For the price we paid, we definitely expected better service and were deeply disappointed. So, the bottom line is, if you don't speak Italian or aren't Italian, you unfortunately have to expect unfriendly service.
