28/03/2025: Fin da subito ho capito che questo ristorante aveva qualcosa in più, già dall’accoglienza si percepisce un calore differente rispetto ad altri ristoranti. Abbiamo mangiato DIVINAMENTE. Professionalità e gentilezza estrema da parte di tutto lo staff. Grazie Silvia per averci viziate, ci siamo sentite come a casa. Catania ruffiana è diventato il nostro posticino del cuore🤍 A presto!

14/03/2025: Everything a brewpub should have. Love it.

23/03/2025: Really friendly staff who tries to make you enjoy the dinner. The buffet antipasti was perfect to try a variety of local foods. The fried calamar was delicious and the pasta a la Norma nicely served. We also ordered a chicken breast but it was too much. Portions are pretty big. Many thanks. We had a great time.✨

18/03/2025: I am so happy about finding this restaurant. They made some of the tastiest dishes I’ve ever eaten, and that at a very reasonable price! The service was very quick and nice, they even spoke a little bit of English (the necessities) so we could understand each other despite our rough Italian. The menu doesn‘t really offer options for vegetarians/vegans, so if you don‘t eat animals (or their products), this isn‘t the right place for you. The restaurant is located not far away from touristic hot spots, but still far enough to preserve Sicilian charm. I also really liked that the workers and the guests all seemed to know each other, it felt very homely and safe. There are three tables outdoors, but they are essentially placed on the street. I didn‘t mind much, because there was a protection so you didn‘t feel any wind from the cars, and the owners placed plants for further separation. The prices were very very reasonable, almost a bit low (for me as a tourist). I cannot describe in words how good the food was. I tried two main dishes with seafood. The wine was nothing special but cheap and complimentary. Overall a really really good experience and one of the best memories from my vacation. Thank you!!

09/03/2025: Charming restaurant in the province of Catania, in the town of Randazzo there is this reality of flavors resulting from ancient traditions masterfully combined with the gastronomic innovations of our times which makes good food a very special experience. Already the presence of the dining room gives a foretaste of the excellent delicacies with a verbal and mimic exposition that describes to the mind the dishes that can be ordered. I won't take away the pleasure of listening to this gastronaut with his kind and elegant manners who will explain every step of the individual dishes in great detail. But know one thing when he describes the succulent dishes, don't get distracted..... When he says for example sausage cut on the tip of a knife, experienced firsthand it is truly like this, the difference is in the taste that you can separate the flavor of the meat from the flavor of the lard from the fennel flavour, you realize this in the fact that the meat is not a shapeless mush but a sequence of well-seasoned pieces that leave a unique impression on the taster's palate. The shank boiled with wild vegetables is cooked with the parsimony and slowness of the boiling of the past without gustatory gulps in its seasoning. Then the final touch for our group was the kissing of our ladies' hands which made us take a space-time leap to times when gallantry was among the most prestigious families of the time. Thank you for giving us this excellent gastronomic experience which we will absolutely repeat with other dear diners

02/03/2025: Delicious food with lots of vegetarian options. Local products and recipes. It was a beautiful discovery in Randazzo. Thanks to its owners, they were very kind!

02/03/2025: I recommend all specialized pastry magazines to visit this pastry bar, snack bar and delicatessen, to experience the authenticity of the products, the genius that the master pastry chef gives in churning out high-quality Sicilian products, and then the quantitative and qualitative generosity that he gives to the filling of any piece of breakfast from ricotta (WITH REAL RICOTTA) to both chocolate and custard cream (REAL CUSTARD). I have been to Catania and a few days and by chance I discovered this bar, I ate arancini with meat that only Savia can come close to, the iris paste was thin and the cream was black chocolate, the panzerotto is divine because the pastry is egg-based and perfectly toasted, the cream is soft and biting it leaves the velvet between your lips and the pastry chef for doing something like this is a prize. The service always greeted and always smiled, prompt clean polite service. Every time I am in Catania I will go, because I am from Catania and the people of Catania know what we eat, and I will bring friends, children, wives and relatives to this bar. I forgot to say that I won't forget the ricotta cream I found while biting into a Raviola 😛

17/02/2025: Perfect place for breakfast. We drank squeezed orange juice and coffee. We passed on something salty and sweet. For me, the real thing is a baked roll with ham, egg and cheese and a croissant with ricotta. Great service. The language barrier does not exist! Affordable prices.

09/03/2025: All very good, but after eating lasagna, you won't be able to do without it anymore.

24/02/2025: I found professionalism both in the food and in the hospitality. I recommend it.

14/03/2025: Intense journey through Sicilian flavors. Beautiful aesthetics of the dishes and combinations a little risky and with a too strong flavor. Impeccable service.

07/03/2025: Many thanks for a great evening! An outstanding menu with excellent products such as lobster, oysters, cod and truffles. The service was very friendly, extremely professional and attentive. They speak excellent English and the sommelier put together a great wine pairing for us. We had an unforgettable evening with a view of the kitchen! We were seated in the dining room due to a closed party. Overall, the ambience is very stylish and modern - including a temporary art exhibition. Thanks again to the chef, his team and the excellent staff (also for the tips for Palermo)!

14/02/2025: We booked by chance because it was close to the accommodation. A very pleasant discovery. Excellent food (seafood starters which alone would have been enough to fill us up), friendly and kind staff. Excellent value for money. I recommend it.

29/01/2025: Excellent fish starters in good quantities. Linguine with cuttlefish ink as well. Kind owners. A little dated place. 👌

28/02/2025: If you're looking for a fun alternative, with good food and great service, this is the right place I recommend it

27/02/2025: Excellent quality food. Friendly and professional staff. DrWhy engaging and fun evening

16/10/2024: Beautiful property located on the slopes of Etna with ocean view. Great rooms and breakfast.

09/10/2024: We received a friendly and warm welcome. Even though we arrived late, we were still allowed to eat something in the restaurant. Rooms are large and duplex-like. Breakfast in the morning on the terrace. A real gem!

22/03/2025: Excellent food! Nice and welcoming place, friendly staff

22/03/2025: The restaurant has a nice atmosphere, and the lasagna was delicious. However, the service was very slow, even with only a few other customers in the restaurant. Additionally, the waitress was sneezing and didn’t wash their hands, which was quite unhygienic.

11/03/2025: You have to look for a larger wine selection, fantastic.

11/02/2025: The essential place to tour Sicilian winegrowers without moving from your chair. Very friendly boss and good advice. The wine bar we like. Thanks Pipo.

06/03/2025: The lowest bill I had in Sicily, and the food was still very good. In my opinion the best pasta with shrimp, then amatriciana, carbonara in my opinion too bland. Good wine, I recommend it in general

03/03/2025: We were very satisfied, we recommend this restaurant in all aspects (very good polpettes).
