Trattoria Don Turiddu In Catania

17/04/2026: Last night we returned for the umpteenth time to this unique restaurant, housed in a former winery. Aside from the stunning scenery, it was once again the owner's warm welcome, the gracious and knowledgeable service of the two young women serving tables, and the pleasant background music that rounded out a superb dinner. We enjoyed a delicious appetizer of a trio of porcini mushrooms (the fried ones were excellent) and a delicate and flavorful first course of rice with artichokes. We finished with a very flavorful stuffed artichoke (breadcrumbs, anchovies, and pecorino cheese). Being full, we couldn't enjoy the homemade cakes, which looked delicious. We settled for the cantuccini and rosolio, graciously offered by the restaurant owner. This is a surefire place, and the chef's cuisine never disappoints—quite the opposite, in fact! We will definitely return and recommend it to anyone who wants to eat well. Prices are in line with the level, although a slight reduction might not bother customers, whether new or loyal (like us).

17/04/2026: I read the many negative reviews and am in disbelief. We stopped by for lunch by chance, looking for a place to eat, and we had a wonderful meal. Excellent service, delicious food, and a more than fair price, with an appetizer (huge and tasty, it could almost be lunch in itself), two first courses, a dessert, and two coffees (about €40 each). The portions were generous, and we left the restaurant full and happy. Highly recommended.
