Excellent restaurant in Catania, far removed from the "tourist food" crowd, offering traditional dishes made with quality ingredients. Sitting down isn't a big deal; you can have lunch or dinner here, even with just one course. Good value, above-average quality. The staff and chef are very friendly.

We ate very well, from the appetizers: peppered mussels and fried anchovies, shrimp, calamari, red mullet...
to the first course: seafood mezze maniche
I recommend it to everyone. Reasonable prices.

Simple, essential, and quiet atmosphere with nice background music that doesn't disturb the food. It's delicious, and you can taste that the dishes are made with passion and skill. Highly recommended!

Very good. The chef himself cooks Sicilian food in the kitchen, various fish and pasta dishes, and his wife was a very nice waitress.

We had a wonderful meal here in a peaceful setting. Bruschetta as a starter. The meals are generous portions. Pasta Norma: delicious. Friendly owners. We understood each other perfectly with our hands and gestures. The chef even stopped by briefly.

Delicious restaurant! Super fresh fish and so much love and care in the dishes. We had two starters: mezza manica with octopus ragù and spaghetti with ink and cuttlefish... Each one better than the last! The owner is very kind and friendly and makes you feel at home. We'll definitely be back. Highly recommended.

A small restaurant in Piazza Iolanda that has made its selection of ingredients its true strength. Excellent, authentic cuisine paired with the friendliness and sincerity of the owner, Stefania. If you're in Catania and want authentic, unpretentious cuisine, this is the perfect choice. Definitely worth a try.

I visited Ristorante San Michele in October 2025 and had an absolutely memorable experience!
Everything was impeccable, from the typically Italian and welcoming atmosphere to the exceptional quality of the dishes. I especially appreciated that the food is truly authentic and prepared with great passion. I ordered several dishes, and each one was a delight:
Spaghetti with Octopus Ragu: An exceptional dish, with a rich ragu and tender octopus. A perfectly balanced combination of flavors.
Caponata: Delicious and fresh, a Caponata that transported me straight to Sicily.
Pasta alla Norma: Classic, comforting, and full of flavor.
The portions are generous, ensuring you leave the table completely satisfied. I must also mention the impeccable service. The staff is extremely kind, attentive, and quick, greatly contributing to a successful evening.
I wholeheartedly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a true Italian dining experience!

The place isn't huge, but it's welcoming and new. We had a great meal: fresh, high-quality dishes. The wait was a bit long, but it was justified by the fact that we'd ordered different dishes and everything was freshly prepared. Overall, a great experience!
