Officina Del Gusto In Catania

Exquisite pizza. Well air-conditioned environment. Friendly and helpful staff.

I recently dined at Officina 51 in Catania and had a wonderful experience. The restaurant’s ambiance was inviting, and the service was exceptional – attentive and friendly, although only one server spoke English. I ordered a vegetarian salad and a pizza, both of which were delicious. The salad featured three balls of fresh mozzarella accompanied by roasted shredded veggies on top, creating a delightful blend of flavors and textures. It was a perfect starter that set the tone for the rest of the meal. The pizza, reminiscent of a flatbread style, was topped with a variety of veggies and cheese. The crust was perfectly crisp, and the toppings were fresh and flavorful. Each bite was a testament to the quality ingredients and care put into the preparation. While the menu was in Italian with no translation, the staff was helpful in explaining the options, ensuring I made choices I would enjoy. Despite the language barrier, the overall experience was smooth and enjoyable. In summary, Officina 51 is a gem in Catania. The food is delicious, the service is warm and attentive, and the atmosphere is perfect for a relaxed meal. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to enjoy authentic Italian cuisine in a welcoming setting.

Delicate house appetizer, warm compliments to the chef and amazing super crunchy pinsa. Thank you

The best pinsa I've ever eaten, thin and crunchy dough at the right point, top quality ingredients. Delicious pistachio semifreddo!

We ate the tongs, the best ever, crunchy, soft and a rich variety of flavours, each better than the other. Considering it was a Saturday night and the place was full, there was a bit of a hustle and bustle and why did I only give the atmosphere 4 stars?

Everything was excellent from the pinsa to the meat to the salad... We will definitely return every time we are in Catania

My pinsa sausage was very tasty.

Amazing food, lovely atmosphere and really kind and friendly staff. Thank you.

So-so calipers and a lot of noise from the rumble!!

We can, indeed we must, improve the service. I'm sorry to say it but the pinsas cannot arrive already cold, they lose their softness.
