trattoria del sole In Catania

Delicious food. Fresh fish and shellfish. Good price.

I walked into this restaurant for the first time, and it was immediately a positive experience. It's a beautiful location, modern yet simple, clean, and meticulously maintained, with outdoor seating just steps from Playa beach. The staff is very friendly and welcoming. What struck me most was the owner's humility when describing her restaurant during the phone call to book a table. The food was exquisite, with generous first and second courses and side dishes, nothing to complain about. My compliments to the chef: XXL spaghetti with clams😋, dry and crispy fried calamari rings, and grilled fish (fresh), house wine, but also bottled wine upon request. The prices were truly fair, with complimentary coffee and a small discount. I forgot: the wait times for the dishes were short, thanks also to the waiters. 👌🏻😉 What can I say? I'm very satisfied. Well done. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

****Service note: Reservations made through Google don't arrive - always book by phone**** Although our Google reservation wasn't received, we were greeted, seated, and served professionally. Located right on the beach, this place was a pleasant surprise for the quality of the menu, the courtesy of the service, and the cheerful helpfulness of all the staff. It's an ordinary-looking place, but clean and functional. The menu is truly varied, the dishes are tasty and prepared with attention to detail, including gluten-free options. The bar service is also complete.

I've read reviews that are honestly random. The place presents itself as a trattoria, so we're not talking about a Michelin-starred restaurant, so the review needs to reflect the type of establishment. As far as I'm concerned: excellent, undeniably fresh fish. Quick and attentive service. Wonderful people, nobly committed to doing the best for the customer. The chef must be truly fast as well as skilled. It must have taken 10 minutes from ordering to the dish being served, considering the place was half full. We then returned a second time, and everything was the same. Same speed and same quality. Value for money? More than good.

The tuna caponata was amazing. Everyone was very kind and friendly.

Small family restaurant, good food.

A lovely little restaurant that was a great find. Everything is very fresh and delicious, I highly recommend it!

The quality-price ratio far exceeds expectations, and the owner truly cares about leaving the customer satisfied.

Ideal for grabbing a quick drink before departure because it is close to the airport. The food is probably very good because I got completely full.

Even though it was out of season, the tuna tartare was exceptional. Everything else was good.
