La Caverna del Mastro Birraio In Acireale

As a lactose intolerant person, I often have trouble eating a sandwich in restaurants because the bread dough is usually made with milk, or if you remove the cheese, it turns out awful. At La Caverna Del Mastro Birraio, we were able to eat a more than decent sandwich. They replaced the cheese with lactose-free mozzarella, and the overall taste of the sandwich was spectacular. The sandwiches were very large, with tender, flavorful meat. We ordered the twist fries and the sweet potato fries; the fries were crispy and cooked perfectly. And the beer... the freshly tapped craft beer is delicious. We ordered the lager and the red one and drank it like it was water: one sip leads to another. Furthermore, the dishes we ordered arrived almost immediately—just enough time to cook them, as they say. The place is very large, welcoming, and intuitive; in fact, you can easily find the bathrooms and the counter at the entrance. The staff is kind and courteous. Don't forget to grab the peanuts in the paper cone in the cauldron as soon as you enter. And if you want to eat here you have to book.

For many years, I've been wanting to visit this place, recommended by friends. I finally found myself in Acireale, with the option of staying nearby and trying their vast selection of beers. We arrived and discovered that the table we booked wasn't inside the Caverna, but in an area in front of it; I hadn't been told this when I booked. After waiting so many years, I would have liked to dine inside and have a choice. The meat was good quality. I tried two beers: a dark and a red, both exceptional. There were four of us, and we each consumed one dish, spending just over €90. The quality/price ratio was a bit high. When paying, we weren't asked anything about our enjoyment, and we weren't even offered a coffee. Although, at the price we paid, they wouldn't have ruined themselves by offering two. As I left, I noticed people picking peanuts from a container while waiting to dine. I wasn't aware of this custom, and we weren't even asked about it, as we were new and unfamiliar with the place. Disappointed by the lack of attention we received. It's a shame, I had high expectations.

Congratulations always the best.. I and my whole beautiful group were with you for the evening of Carnival/Valentine's Day 2026.. we had fun.. super "mythical cupid" entertainment, wonderful service, spectacular food.. Thanks for the beautiful organization ... we will be back very soon 🥰🥰

Every time I go there with friends we have so much fun...

A spacious and welcoming place, immersed in the atmosphere typical of those lively and noisy pubs. In fact, it was very crowded on a Saturday night, so we waited a long time to get a table, but it was worth it. It's perfectly suited to large groups. There were nine of us, each of us ordered a different dish, and we were all satisfied, not only with the quality, but also with the presentation, the pleasing combination of flavors, and the abundance of the dishes... they were actually huge!! That's why I consider the quality-price ratio excellent. The staff was helpful and fast. The evening was enjoyable, I'd say top notch!

Good but not great.. good food.. but the rest? I understand Saturday but we had dinner after midnight.. table of 10, one person left to eat after 20 minutes.. stove not working.. I will return but not on Saturday!

Excellent food, fast service, if you want a fantastic experience, come

Very nice place, very kind staff, vast and excellent choice of beers, craft and otherwise, some very very particular and interesting, free peanuts, ample parking

It's always a pleasure to return to eat the excellent sandwiches and drink the master brewer's craft beer on tap. Prices are average, and the selection is varied. There's often live music on Fridays, and this week a great country band entertained us. We went as a family and had a really good time. Unfortunately, the outdoor seating wasn't available, so we had a bit of a wait for a table, but it was reasonable.
