Osteria il Bell'Antonio In Catania

A beautiful restaurant in the historic heart of Catania. Just turn off Via Etnea, walk a few dozen meters, and you'll find yourself in an authentic Sicilian restaurant, frequented primarily by locals. Fresh ingredients are a given. And if you're lucky, like we were, you'll even be able to listen to music by local musicians.

We had a fantastic evening; the food was truly excellent and the service impeccable! I highly recommend it, especially for its location in the heart of Catania.

Great location, super fresh fish, and friendly staff. The appetizers are exceptional.

We discovered this restaurant specializing in seafood in the city center, and the visit was a true pleasure. We sampled appetizers and first courses, all prepared with great attention to the freshness and quality of the ingredients. The prices are higher, but considering the excellence of the preparation and the intensity of the flavors, the investment is fully justified. The dessert also confirmed the high quality of the cuisine, and as a welcome touch, we were offered a complimentary digestif. We ate lunch outdoors in a pleasant atmosphere, and as we walked inside, we noticed the elegant and thoughtful decor. If you're looking for excellent seafood specialties in the city center and appreciate top-quality ingredients, this restaurant is certainly an excellent choice thanks to its culinary quality and location.

Got recommended by a local friend as one of the best in town restaurants. In one word: Fantastic food! We tried the mixed smoked fish and the cod fish cakes for starters and the Lobster Linguine and Mussel Spaghetti for mains. Everything was amazing! But the start of the show was the strawberry cake! I could eat 20 of those!!! The serving team wS attentive and polite! A 5/5 experience.

We received an excellent recommendation. The food and decor transported us... generous dishes with real flavors, not a tourist trap. Thank you for this wonderful experience.

Beautiful restaurant in Catania's historic center. You can dine on the covered terrace or inside. The food is excellent, with fresh, live fish (your choice). A wide selection of local wines. Very polite waiters and fast service. Reasonably priced for the quality of everything. Recommended.

Amazing restaurant. And the staff were courteous. The raw fish was delicious 😋 Highly recommended.

The food was exceptionally good. I am the type of person that loves to connect with the community. I recommend this restaurant to all tourists. It is so easy to spew our expectations to a business but it is humbling to take the time to get to know the beautiful people that are taking care of you. Grazie to Roberta for taking the time to chat with me. I appreciate your kindness, I hope we meet again.

Spectacular appetizers, excellent tuna with onions. Fresh and flavorful Etna white wine. Very friendly and professional staff.
