La Loggetta In Catania

09/08/2024: This restaurant was recommended to me by a friend from Catania. In fact the place was full of locals, very few tourists. I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food, the generous portions and the very low price. Excellent horse meat. Very spartan service, we cut to the chase. With 20 euros each you can eat too much.

23/07/2024: Sicily #6, Catania #6, Italian #2, Horse #1: my friend had read Catania was famous for horse meat and had found a few places to try. After we visited the castle nearby-ish, we decided to take a break here. We ordered: 1L vino €6 x2, horse sausage €2, porchetta €2; (€2 coperto/cover pp). Both the sausage and the porchetta were delicious. Not onyl did they taste great, but the pricing for food here is phenomenal. The vibe/service is also great. This definitely feels much more like a local haunt (there weren't any tourists here--besides us). It was a great place to take a break, have some drinks, and eat some meat. I wanted to come back here, but I couldn't convince the rest of my group to eat horse again 😅 This would be one of the first places I'll return to next time I'm back in Catania.
