Trattoria Catania Ruffiana In Catania

Excellent food, refined and never banal. The portions are generous and the fish is incredibly fresh. The fish appetizers are delicious, and the fried fish is delicious! The citrus-flavored fillet is a MUST-TRY. A true delight for the palate! The staff is friendly and helpful. We chatted a bit after the service, and I must say that, in addition to being professional, they are also very friendly. Highly recommended!

A very nice, quiet, and characteristic place, ideal for eating well and spending a relaxing evening. The owners are pearls of people, very down-to-earth, friendly, welcoming, and very knowledgeable. The place offers mostly fish-based dishes of excellent quality, which are served and prepared excellently, from appetizers to main courses! The selection of wines to pair with the dishes is also excellent, and if you don't know much about them, let their sommelier advise you, he won't disappoint! They serve the same menu also in a gluten-free version, including dessert, which by the way is not to be missed. It's basically a homemade chocolate cake with a little pistachio powder that is something indescribable. I assure you that even if you are full at the end of the meal, it will be impossible to resist it!! To return and return. Thank you very much, it is always a pleasure to come and eat at your place.

Excellent compromise between quality and price

Nice, welcoming place, excellent food: abundant and delicious mixed appetizer, phenomenal spaghetti with clams.

Sunday lunch... I just had it... I was so impressed I had to write a review right away. The food was absolutely delicious. Fresh seafood, delicious recipes... friendly and professional service... It felt like a local favorite, not a touristy place. I highly recommend it.

I would recommend this spot 100 times out of 100. Great food at fair prices. Great local atmosphere. And if that wasn’t enough, the family who runs it is all extremely nice and welcoming. They treat you like family. You can tell they are truly goodhearted people who want you to enjoy your time not just being nice as if they were working a tip. Whole family was there working as well when I went. Good humble people with great vibes and food.

Since today is my birthday, we decided to dine out and, attracted by the reviews, all of which were positive, we chose Catania Pippiana. Never has a restaurant name been more fitting than this, obviously in the best and most positive sense of the word. The lady, one of the owners, didn't just serve us at the table, she pampered us and helped us choose the dishes, which were indeed of excellent workmanship, quality, and abundance. In my experience, it's one of the very few places that lives up to its hype. With great pleasure, after paying, I sincerely wished them much luck and success, which are truly well-deserved. I highly recommend it. We will definitely be back.

Pure Catania excellence! Excellent seafood, impeccable and friendly service, and a relaxed atmosphere. We had a wonderful Sunday evening with the family!

Piatti molto curati, materia prima di qualità. Pasta fresca, tagliere salumi super, pesce freschissimo, frittura top. Servizio cordiale e accogliente, finale di tortini al cioccolato superlativi. Insomma andateci! Grazie!

Incuriosita dalle entusiastiche recensioni che leggevo, mi sono decisa ad andare stasera in questa trattoria per il mio anniversario di matrimonio...e le mie aspettative sono state ampiamente soddisfatte!!!! già ben predisposta dal sottofondo musicale (soft cover di brani famosi) e dai deliziosi centrotavola, quello che mi ha subito colpito è stata la disponibilità del personale e la preparazione del proprietario, che mi ha consigliato egregiamente sul menù e sul vino da abbinare. Antipasti eccezionali, gamberetti marinati al momento, polpo tenerissimo, sapori e profumi convincenti e ben armonizzati!!! primi favolosi con dei panzotti al ragù di cernia che sicuramente sognerò stanotte!!!! Inoltre, sentendo il proprietario parlare sia delle preparazioni in modo molto competente ma anche della moglie (l'artista in cucina) e della figlia (che aiuta nella gestione), ho potuto percepire tutta la passione e l'amore per per la famiglia e per questa professione che mi hanno fatta sentire coccolata ma con grande professionalità!!!! e per dirla alla Borghese...al menù ho dato 10! Al conto ho dato 10! etc...CONSIGLIATISSIMO!!!!!
