Pesce Cotto In Catania

Intrigued by the positive reviews I decided to bring my family. Starter: octopus salad, mixed fry. First courses: Marinara risotto, tagliatelle with shrimp and courgette pesto. Second courses: Salmon in crust, swordfish rolls and finally mussels. Fennel salad side dish. Just one adjective: Excellent. Everything was really good and well cooked. Compliments! Price? As they say: restaurant dishes at the price of a delicatessen. Optimal. Oh I forgot they also offered us a loaf of bread. 🤩

It's a safe option for weekdays. Eating here is always enjoyable, thanks to their simple website, and their delivery service is what we book at least one day a month at work. The prices are fair and the quality of the food is second to none. Depending on the time you order, the food arrives more or less on time, so I recommend ordering a little early or just in time; you have to be flexible. But the wait is worth it. If you go to the restaurant for lunch, it is also a good option. In any case, go early to have more options to choose from. The onion salad is fantastic and the rice is a safe bet.

PESCECOTTO: Small take-away place where you can have lunch at some tables on the pavement opposite, some positioned a little precariously. Friendly staff. I arrived shortly after 2.00 pm, between one commitment and another I had in the Catania ring road, so I didn't return home for lunch, and, at that hour, there wasn't much choice. I took a slice of tuna that was well cooked and well seasoned, but unfortunately cold. In the meantime, the freshly cooked pasta with Catanese masculini arrived: very good, made according to the best Catanese tradition. Half portions of first courses are also served. Coffee was offered to me. It was a nice interlude for a quick lunch. The place was recommended to me some time ago by my son, when he was at university. In fact it is mainly frequented by university students and teachers from the nearby polyclinic. Excellent quality/price ratio.

As for fish gastronomy, it is excellent, and the staff is courteous and welcoming.
