Materia | Spazio Cucina In Catania

Located in the heart of Catania's nightlife yet in a private setting within the hotel, this restaurant offers high-end cuisine that caters to every taste. It uses local products and offers a true experience, with traditional flavors magically revisited by chef Bianca Celano, who manages to surprise with every course. An excellent, select wine list and attentive yet discreet service are the order of the day. Top

My husband and I dined at Materia for the first time last week and... we regretted not discovering it sooner! We had an excellent, top-notch dining experience, with meticulous attention to detail, from the welcome, to the dining room, and, of course, the dishes. The flavors are timeless, yet reinterpreted in a more contemporary way without distorting the authenticity of the dishes and their strictly seasonal ingredients. I recommend the tasting menu, which gives you the chance to try a little bit of everything and experience a true culinary journey through the delicacies carefully crafted and created by Chef Bianca Celano, to whom I extend my warmest compliments! I also truly appreciated the choice of tableware, which perfectly complemented the dishes, especially the vintage ones :) We will definitely be back.

Reserved, refined, chili place, excellent food with top raw materials and preparations

The dishes are excellent, carefully prepared and rich in flavor. The menu prices, especially considering the quality, are affordable. A gastronomic experience worth repeating. The only small drawback: the place isn't exactly easy to find.

One of the most succulent foods I tasted in a quiet place in Catania. This place should be Michelin star😋

Very good food and nice place. Would recommence if you want to spend a bit more than usual. It is worth it!

My son and I took the cooking class experience (country side cooking menu). We got to learn and cook with the executive chef Bianca Celano directly. She was wonderful and took the time to explain the techniques, ingredients, and cultural significance of the dishes and steps in the recipes. The food was exceptional.

After a strenuous day, this charming, fine little restaurant provides a wonderful, peaceful end to the day with good food and fine wine. As a fan of non-chill-filtered single malt whiskies, I was rewarded with a Craigellachie. Wonderful. Very competent service. I'd definitely go back when in Catania – the signage is almost a bit too modest; you have to search for the entrance.

We chose 5 dishes. 3 were delicious. 2 dishes were ok, but nothing special and seemed boring in taste. The staff were polite and friendly but did not seem as engaged as one is used to at similar events. Great place and beautifully decorated. Entrance: You have to ring the bell. The way forward is up an entrance/stairs to the right, just inside the front door. There you may have to ring the bell again.

The location, welcome, and dinner were exceptional! A real gem in the historic center! The staff were incredibly friendly; it was a pleasure to dine here!
