Torre del Vescovo In Catania

On my way back from a business trip, I decided to stop here with my family (four of us in total), also tempted by the availability of parking next to the restaurant. The staff were kind and friendly, and the dishes were decidedly below average for the area. We Catanians know the horse meat, renowned for its quality and affordable prices. I didn't receive a menu when I arrived, but I took the advice (a big mistake). When it came to the bill, I had a nasty surprise... extremely expensive, around €170 for four people. After asking for an explanation, I already paid for two horse Florentine steaks, a whopping €50 each, plus a mixed grill and a horse meatball, fries, and two beers. What struck me was the lack of transparency and probably the fact that I was mistaken for a tourist (given my polite manners). In short, I will definitely never return, and I absolutely cannot recommend it.

Friendly and helpful staff, characteristic location with grill and tables in the middle of the street, abundant quantity of dishes and good quality, price with an average of €26 per person for a series of appetizers consisting of the typical canazzo (peppers, aubergines, peppers, onion and sweet and sour eggs), breaded aubergines, parmigiana, spinach omelette, chips, and other delicious things that I recommend, and a tray of mixed meat with a nice onion, trio of skewers, horse burger, seasoned sausage and a choice of a slice of horse meat or veal plus drinks and coffee

The food is generally edible, there is no service, but all the workers are polite, the atmosphere of street Sicily.

Personally I took both the horse meat and also the always good meatballs and also the rolls, in other places the meatballs are burnt on the outside and raw on the inside, even with the staff I have nothing to complain about, perhaps due to the price a little to be revised but since I feel good even if I pay a little more it's fine anyway.

If I think about coming for your son's communion, we'll have to change places. It's a casual, chaotic restaurant, where you eat well and cheaply, and the full house we found on Monday confirms this. If you take the snobbish Tinder girl on a first date then don't complain.
