trattoria bitteri In Catania

The pasta is average, the service is mediocre, and the atmosphere is ordinary. It’s a bit pricey considering the quality of the food.

The place is truly a place from another era. If you're expecting lightning-fast McDonald's-style service or a fancy restaurant like a fancy downtown restaurant, this isn't for you. For me, Bitteri is an experience. Expect to stay there for at least two hours. The staff is friendly and very pleasant, but it's chaotic. The place is straight out of the late '80s, so expect a Casio-based piano and customers (and sometimes even the staff!?) who give their best by singing. But above all, the food is EXCELLENT. Truly a cut above your average seafood restaurant. You'll wait an hour for the appetizers, but once they arrive, it's worth it. The price is excellent, I'd even say low. But it's clear that this place isn't geared towards tourists, but rather people from the surrounding community. Customers called the waiters by name, and the staff spent time chatting with customers while sitting at the tables. I'm sure I'll recommend this place to everyone who visits Catania. And I recommend it to you, too. But please, don't be a pretentious tourist. Immerse yourself in the experience of this little slice of the Catanian and Sicilian community. I assure you, it will be worth it.

The food was okay - some things were very good, some less so. I wouldn't recommend the octopus, because it was very rubbery and simply tasteless. The pasta with pistachios was good, but not outstanding, but the soup with mussels was delicious. The pizza was okay. The overall impression was positive.

Excellent food and generous portions. Highly recommended!!!

Everything is okay if you don't expect anything great. The food is relatively tasty, but it's not the best either. The service, on the other hand, is deplorable. We feel like we're not in the right place; the server shows no motivation, which is a shame.

Una pasta al nero di seppia eccellente ed abbondante. Per me è bastato volendo si poteva aggiungere un antipasto. Trattoria sul.mare semplice sulla strada per andare ai vari lidi della playa.

We saw from the reviews that the service was bad, but we were lucky or the waiters changed. We were served very quickly, polite, they brought different bottles of wine, explained what was what, in English. The dishes, we ordered pasta, were very huge, delicious, but we ate everything:) In general, I recommend.

Slow, inattentive service, but the quality of the food was okay.

Great family run trattoria with great food and great prices. Recommended.

Piccola trattoria a ridosso della spiaggia, molto gentili, porzioni giganti. Preso un primo veramente ottimo, consiglio questo posto
