Ristorante La Polena In Acireale

13/11/2025: A little corner of paradise for lovers of home-cooked food! The location is welcoming and the owners are super friendly, always ready to make you feel at home. They served us dreamy mushroom pappardelle, the platter and marinated vegetables were perfect, and the bread… well, you could eat tons of it! Not to be missed.

06/11/2025: Trattoria N'Da Calata Zafferana is a great find—a local restaurant that offers good local food at excellent value near the Etna area. It's a bit hidden, but definitely worth seeking out for an authentic meal. The service was fast, friendly, and efficient, making for a pleasant dining experience. The main dishes we ordered (pasta and salad) were standard and good, but the real star of the show was the Fried Ricotta! As a ricotta lover, I was blown away by this specialty. They were perfectly prepared: crunchy and golden brown on the outside, with a wonderfully soft and rich ricotta filling inside. The portion is huge—you get six large pieces in one dish! It's ideal for sharing as an appetizer or could easily serve as a very satisfying main course. If you are dining here, you absolutely must order the fried ricotta. It’s a unique, delicious dish that elevates the entire meal and offers fantastic value.
