Nuova Trattoria del Forestiero In Catania

The standard was at least 5 stars, the eggplant was simply wonderful, but I was tempted by the carbonara and the extras... it's a real shame because it's actually scrambled eggs with pasta. The prices are ok but I highly advise against the carbonara. There's no quiet music and you really have to wait a long time.

Best food in Catania, we ended up going there every night 🍝

Pasta there norma was so incredible!!!

The best place I have eaten in Sicily. All done in the moment. Spectacular fresh pasta with sepia Nero. Central and on top of that it is not expensive.

We had wonderful dinner here yesterday with pasta alla norma and one with artichoke. Both were very nice, i'd say that alla norma had a bit more interesting palette but it was expected. We also ordered a horse steak that was quite thin and veal rolls 'alla Rosanna', both delicious even though i'd prefer a bit less vinegar on my steak. House wine was light and easy and made a good company to the food. Unfortunately we didnt have any more space for desserts in our bellies, otherwise I'd definitely try their tiramisu. Waiting time for our order was around 15 minutes, very reasonable for home made pasta. But we were quite early for dinner as per Italian standards, the restaurant kept getting fuller by the time we finished our course around 9pm. I feel a lot of bad reviews here come from wrong expectations. It is a family run traditional Sicilian trattoria with food cooked by your Italian Mamma. It is cozy, warm and attentive. It is NOT an instagram like serving or a michelin star experience with a €100 price pp. you come here for authenticity and soul and experience of local life. Overall we had a very nice experience here and will definitely recommend this place to my friends

The standard pasta was incredible!! Affordable place, highly recommended if you come to spend a few days in Catania

We have eaten wonderfully. The standard pasta was spectacular, as well as the caponatina, the salad and the desserts. Exquisite and kind treatment by Máximo. Very economical price. Totally recommended

Best pasta and customer service in my life, Grazie!

Great food, very nice service, a must-see in Catania, I recommend it :)

Working hours don't match with what's on Google, as with many other things in Catania. It was closed so we went to Aldo's place instead.
