30/07/2025: I come here for lunch every time I pass by Etna. The best dining on the entire northeast side. Cool and welcoming outdoor space. Quick and friendly service. Unique dishes... The mixed antipasti, Ragabo pasta, and mushroom ravioli are unmissable. Next time I'll try other items from the interesting menu. The pistachio profiteroles are truly excellent, as is the coffee. For €20-25 per person, you can eat well and in large quantities, all-inclusive.
27/07/2025: We had lunch at the Rifugio after our descent from Etna. We found a table right away, even though it was packed, and we ordered right away. A delicious bruschetta filled with cherry tomatoes and onion (sublime!), served with excellent grilled bread, a Palermitana with grilled vegetables (tender and flavorful), and my companion had a slice of veal (also tender and flavorful, a nice portion) with baked potatoes and onion (delicious, as he described them). Finally, a profiterole, two waters, and a coffee came to €47. The place was clean, and, not to be underestimated, it was very comfortable and cool. The staff was extremely quick, kind, and cheerful!
