Polpetteria In Catania

The food was very tasty, but the one on my friend's pizza smelled really bad, so I couldn't really concentrate on the food :( Otherwise everything was really quiet and the staff were nice!

Swordfish meatballs cooked with lemon leaf decent but flavors a bit confusing. Long waits, approximate service. Cost rather high. Outside environment could be improved and requires more cleaning.

I discovered this restaurant by chance and was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the products and the excellent service. I specifically asked for small portions so I could taste all their specialties: paccheri with pistachio and the traditional horse meatballs... a mix of strong and delicate flavors. Especially the meatballs seasoned with a drizzle of oil, in my opinion of excellent quality, which gives a perfect balance to the dish. To finish, eggplant meatballs: very crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. truly extraordinary and unmissable. I highly recommend it.

La Polpetteria di Catania is much more than a simple restaurant: it is a journey into the authentic flavors of Sicily, enriched with a touch of elegance and innovation. Perfect for a romantic dinner, an evening with friends or simply to pamper yourself with unique delicacies.

The food is quite good, but everything else really leaves something to be desired. As soon as we sat down, one of the chairs made a less than reassuring noise and, in general, they seemed rather unstable. We ordered three beers and only two arrived: the third appeared later, "forgotten" due to too much foam, according to the waiter. The service was entrusted to a single waiter-all-rounder who, unfortunately, was unable to manage anything efficiently. The bread arrived after half an hour and only after many requests. At a certain point, we witnessed a surreal scene: the waiter took a still half-full glass from another table, causing (rightly) complaints from the customer. The kitchen forgot one of the five meatballs included in the mixed sauce, which was only brought to us after twenty minutes. In the sauce of the meatballs with ragù we found a bone, a detail that is certainly not the best. Finally, one of the waiters - who wasn't even taking orders - was wearing overalls, decidedly out of place clothing for those who work in the dining room. Better to spend less and eat better in via Plebiscito.

Meatballs: excellent. Mixed fried appetizer: sufficient. Decomposed cannoli: excellent in taste. Beer: excellent. All in all a place to recommend. Only the waiting times were slightly long. Well done.

beautiful place and in an excellent point of Catania. excellent table service. helpful and very kind waiters especially the waiter named Mattia. very good and quality food. I recommend it to everyone

A memorable experience in Catania. We recommend that you ask for the wine list: he’s the boss! And the visit to the cellar! In addition to the magnificent wines at a budget adapted to everyone, the dishes are very good and the welcome is very friendly. Go there with your eyes closed!

Ho prenotato in questo locale per assaggiare le polpette ma, completata la prenotazione, ho iniziato a leggere diverse recensioni non troppo positive che quasi mi facevano disdire il tavolo: menomale che non l’ho fatto! Pranzo con mio marito e le mie due figlie nel caratteristico vicoletto pieno di localini vari. Ordiniamo per le bimbe le nuggets di polpetta con patatine che hanno gradito tantissimo, tanto da chiedere di ritornarci. Per noi adulti una burratina al panko, polpette miste e polpette di asina…. Tutto davvero molto gustoso! Ma oltre al cibo, quello che mi ha mi ha colpito del locale è l’attenzione del proprietario Igor e del figlio: ci ha servito delle nuggets in più affinché gli adulti non mangiassero dal piatto delle bimbe!!! Ci ha servito del cioccolato e anche dei dessert omaggio! Il tutto accompagnato da quella innata simpatia siciliana che conquista adulti e bambini. Se siete alla ricerca di un posto da ricordare, vi siete imbattuti nel locale giusto! Bravi!!!
