12/01/2026: The cuisine is fantastic, delicious, fresh, and interesting. The rack of lamb is superb; the tagliata is superb; the panna cotta is the best I've ever tried; you'll really enjoy it!
07/01/2026: I have never written a review before, but Francesco deserves an honorable mention. A couple months ago (yes, I'm a bit late) my wife and I were caught in a torrential downpour in Catania. Rain hadn't been predicted, so (being the nice guy I am) gave my jacket to my wife. Our hotel had suggested Uzeta. Although it wasn't the closest place to seek shelter from the rain and have dinner, I bought an umbrella (for 3 euro from a street vendor). To make a long story short (waiting on hold for 1/2 for a taxi only to be told none were available, etc..). We finally made it to Uzeta. Francesco couldn't have been a sweeter, kinder and hospitable host if he had tried. I was soaking wet, and he said there was a hair dryer in the women's bathroom. It was taking too long to dry my shirt, so Francesco gave me a staff shirt. I know, I should be telling you about the food, but I'll get to that. Honestly, how many places would be so welcoming to give you the shirt of his/her back? Francesco, I can't thank you enough!
Everything we had ordered was presented beautifully, but more importantly, was delicious. Francesco was even kind enough to bring us a bottle of "reserved" oil that was pure heaven. Also, he gave us a min wine tasting experience that made it clear what "minerale" means in Sicilian wines. The "Arancino" was much more enjoyable than the typical ones found everywhere, and the stuffed anchovies were to die for. We had been exploring the east coast of Sicilia, and had eaten Tuna with caramelized red onions on numerous occasions (I guess it's a crowd favorite), but Uzeta's version was superior. Francesco also spoke English extremely well. Every restaurant nowadays seems to want to charge a fortune for food/service that doesn't deserve it. Uzeta offers high quality food and service at a price that would cost double in most big cities.
