After my first not so good meal in Italy in 3 weeks last night, I spotted Trattoria da Nuccio on a small side street off the busy area in Catania historic centre.
So glad I did.
It was perfect, exactly what I wanted, a simple delicious lunch at reasonable cost, with great service.
I had the Cotto a Sote de Pesce (cooked fish stew) with a side of grilled red peppers, and bread for dipping.
Fantastic.

A small restaurant nestled in the heart of Catania, offering a calm and pleasant atmosphere. It was a true delight for our taste buds!
In addition, the service was impeccable: the waiters were extremely kind, attentive, and considerate. We tried both the terrace and the interior, and in both cases, the experience was perfect.
Special mention also goes to the magnificent, superbly maintained tiling, which adds even more charm to the place.

On a side street off Via Etnea is Trattoria da Nuccio, a typical family-run Catania trattoria serving a wide selection of traditional Sicilian dishes. I personally enjoyed the pasta alla palermitana and the tuna with lemon sauce, paired with a good Catarratto wine. The staff were friendly, attentive, and helpful, and the quality/price ratio was excellent. The place is small, so reservations are recommended.

Dining at Trattoria da Nuccio is like taking a true journey through the authentic flavors of Catania.
A family-run restaurant where tradition reigns supreme.
Excellent value for money.

We were lucky to have this place right under our airbnb, it was so amazing we ended up eating there 3 nights in a row. seriously just good and true Sicilian food, cooked with love. Just make sure to finish it all or Mario will be mad and say mangiare. We love this restaurant though and will be back whenever we’re in catania again. Thank you Mario and the sweet waitresses !!

Old-fashioned trattoria... very intimate and excellent food!
Unfortunately, I don't have any photos because everything was so inviting that I decided to eat 🙈
