Piglia e Porta Via In Catania

18/10/2025: Special praise goes to the AL99 team. Despite the frenetic chaos generated by the Pistachio Festival, the staff managed to maintain an atmosphere of great professionalism and friendliness. I found them all extremely helpful, friendly, and welcoming, demonstrating excellent stress management and genuine customer service. Excellent service makes the wait enjoyable. The Dish: Pistachio Fried Pasta The idea of ​​fried pasta (stuffed bucatini, in this case inspired by carbonara and enriched with Bronte pistachios) is a brilliant street food experience. I immediately noticed the use of fresh, quality ingredients, which make all the difference in such a rich dish. The fried pasta was crispy and dry, a perfect shell enclosing a creamy, flavorful filling. The contrast between the typical saltiness of carbonara (with guanciale and pecorino) and the unmistakable aroma of Bronte pistachios creates an excellent balance. The finished product is excellent: a street food dish that elevates street food to the next level thanks to the careful selection of ingredients and the balance of flavors. Tip: Highly recommended for those seeking an original and high-quality street food option, backed by impeccable service, even at peak times. An experience not to be missed if you're in the area to savor Bronte's green gold.

12/10/2025: During the pistachio festival, we had a crepe that was nothing short of spectacular (just like the one on the billboard in front of the shop). Pistachio gelato inside and outside the crepe, Nutella, pistachio cream, chopped pistachios, and powdered sugar. Highly recommended. Congratulations!!!
