Nuova Trattoria del Forestiero In Catania

The pasta a la norma was incredible!! Affordable place, highly recommended if you're spending a few days in Catania. However, they offer you a shot of limoncello at the end of the meal without telling you the price, and then charge you €10 for it!

homemade sicilian specialities prepared by the owner‘s mother. Everything we tried was very delicious and fresh. The pasta alla norma is a must!

We discovered it when we were in Catania, and we liked it, the food is homemade and freshly prepared, you have to wait a little, but it's worth it

Incredible typical Sicilian trattoria, it is a pleasure to dine in a place in the heart of Catania with a magnificent price-quality balance. The food tastes like pure home cooking. The waiter who served us was super friendly. Quiet place with very cozy decoration.

We were recommended the place next door but they were full so we came in here instead. Limited atmosphere, friendly enough service but then our pasta took ages to arrive and, once it did, my girlfriend's carbonara came out like scrambled eggs with no apologies. Overall quite a disappointment-we've never been served a worse carbonara anywhere in the world, can't believe it was in Italy...

The standard was at least 5 stars, the eggplant was simply amazing, but I was tempted by the carbonara, and unfortunately... it's a pity because it's actually scrambled eggs with pasta. The prices are good, but I highly recommend against the carbonara. There's no quiet music and you actually 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
