Me Cumpari Turiddu In Catania

High-level restaurant in the historic center of Catania. Very fresh and excellent raw materials treated with skill. Roberta will immerse you in their corporate philosophy by telling you about each dish and the history of their business. Excellent value for money! We came from Messina, and we will definitely be back! BRAVISSIMI

Real Sicilian place. Simple and convincing

We had pasta ala Norma and fish stewed for dinner. The restaurant served 5 kinds of petit bread as amuse bouche with sundried tomatoes and olives, as a starter for free. All made of ingredient that they sourced locally as part of slow cooked movement. The Fish stewed with white fish was cooked to perfection with capers, small tomatoes and wild olives. Well seasoned and balance. Definitely one of the best fish dishes we’ve had in Sicily. Pasta ala Norma was cooked well and al dente but the sauce was a tad bit sour to my liking. We finished with a sweet couscous dessert, which can only be found in this restaurant, according to the waiter. Finely chopped pistachios and almonds couscous dizzled with vanilla panna sauce. Topped with wild red strawberries. It was heavenly and a dish you cannot missed in Me Cumpari Turiddu. Highly recommended!

Felt forgotten, staff didn't seem interested, asked for ice didn't get it, just underwhelmed and disappointed, got the bill wrong too..

Dab smack average experience and bland food compared to what you usually get in Catania. Service is not very good.

When I'm on vacation with my partner I usually go looking for Slow Food taverns. I did the same during my stay in Catania. We went to dinner at "Me' cumpari Turiddu" last June 5th and we had a great time. We ordered three typical dishes of the place: Spaghetti alla Turiddu, Trenette with potatoes and provola and Involtini di pesce spatola: the latter were recommended to me by a Sicilian friend and were a very pleasant discovery, so much so that on the evening of the 7th we returned exclusively to taste this dish again. The place is welcoming, the waiting staff is very courteous and attentive to the customer's requests. Highly recommended. It's really worth it. Average prices.

Beautiful restaurant! Attentive and classy service. I recommend booking in advance. Refined, traditional, but revisited menu. All the staff are kind and prepared. Thanks to Roberta and all of them for making the evening unique.

Typical traditional local restaurant with a classic touch. Nice dining area with style ,but nothing too extraordinary. The actual food is simple and quite plain. Do not expect any exceptional experience. Service is slow as is to be the kitchen itself.

The chef takes care in presenting dishes with local products and slow food presidia. A good variety of dishes on the menu, with fair prices. The service is attentive. In particular, I tried an excellent lasagna with carob flour and donkey ragù.

It was so lovely and I will go back again!!
