29/01/2026: A wonderful experience! A family-run restaurant with delicious local produce and a lovely chef. Highly recommended!

25/01/2026: Everything was excellent, while we waited they offered us two glasses of white wine. The schiacciate were truly excellent in terms of taste and quality. We will definitely be back ❤️

15/01/2026: A Tuscan-Sicilian fusion restaurant, very charming and intimate. Both the wine and the bruschetta are good. The host is friendly. Must try!

19/03/2026: This was just great. I liked everything. For what you get I would consider it a very good price. Im comparison with other one star restaurants it's one of the best I have visited so far. Can absolutely recommend if you are into fine dining.

07/03/2026: The tasting was a true journey through flavors and memories. A cuisine that speaks of this land and the traces left by other peoples over time. Rich aromas and carefully crafted flavors; meticulous presentations; and a friendly, knowledgeable, and truly helpful staff. Time passes as hearts and bellies fill.

25/02/2026: We came with four and the two tables outside were put together swiftly to seat us in the sun. The antipasti was of great variety and really delicious. We had two different pastas as mains, both really good. The pistachio tiramisu and pear chocolate cake both blew us away. Honestly this is a great place with super friendly service. Highly recommended.

11/02/2026: We stumbled upon it one Sunday by chance, having run into an unexpected problem. And it was a pleasant surprise. The dishes are traditional, and it's a family-run business. The appetizer was delicious, and the pork shank was excellent.

11/10/2025: We had a wonderful time, the food was excellent, the venue was elegant, and the staff was friendly. Highly recommended. A special greeting to the owner. Piedmont Holiday Group.

11/10/2025: I've been coming to Catania for work for five years, and Taverna del Grande Albero is a regular stop. First of all, I find quality and courtesy here, but above all, I feel like I'm at home. The owners have become like family to me. I GO TO FILIPPO'S, I say every time!!!! Always friendly, always hospitable, they never fail to chat with the customers, and I highly recommend it!! I've attached photos so you can fully understand my satisfaction. I'm sorry I didn't take a picture of the spectacular seafood appetizer!

26/02/2026: I'm extremely disappointed and annoyed by my experience at (Rinuccio). I arrived with my wife, including our two dogs, and asked if we could sit at an outdoor table, where there was no one else. The answer was a firm, "No, we don't accept pets." (I think it was a chef.) I wonder, what difference does it make if the table is outdoors? Our dogs are well-behaved and wouldn't have bothered anyone. In fact, it would have been a pleasure to have them by our side. The "we don't accept pets" excuse became increasingly ridiculous when we asked if there was an outdoor area where we could sit, and the answer was, "No, we don't have an outdoor area for dogs." But if the table is outdoors, isn't it already an outdoor area? My wife and I have decided to go elsewhere and will never return to this restaurant. If they can't accept a well-behaved dog, then they can't claim to be a welcoming and friendly restaurant. *Tip:* Don't go to this restaurant if you like to travel with your pets.

22/02/2026: Stunning location overlooking the Etna forests. Mount Etna in the background adds an extra touch. The staff is kind, friendly, and knowledgeable. Honorable mention for the quality of the food, especially the croquettes, the trofie with pistachio pesto, and the apple cake with orange oil. Highly recommended!

08/03/2026: I've been to this place and had a truly positive experience. The atmosphere is informal and welcoming, perfect for a fun evening with friends or family, where you can entertain yourself with board games and the right background music. The sandwiches are definitely one of their strong points: well-filled, tasty, and made with top-quality ingredients. The bread is fragrant, and the ingredients are fresh, well-balanced, with very successful combinations (real chicken breast!!!) and exceptional baked and fried potatoes. The menu isn't limited to sandwiches alone, but also offers platters, first courses, and second courses. The desserts are also excellent, providing a pleasant conclusion to the meal and definitely worth trying. The apple pie with cinnamon caramel 🤤 and the birramisu are particularly noteworthy. Their smoked bitters are also worth trying. The selection of craft beers is highly appreciated, with several interesting options you won't find anywhere else in Catania. Let us guide you as they offer a truly vast selection. A place definitely worth trying and returning to. 🍔🍝🍺🍰

12/02/2026: The best experience at the end of the trip. The chocolate salami and birramisu stole our hearts. I highly recommend it 😜

09/03/2026: Elegant place, friendly staff and a very kind and polite owner

08/03/2026: Good morning, Sergio. Sorry for the delay, but I wanted to thank you for everything, from your professionalism with which you treat your customers to your super staff. It was all wonderful. Delicious food. Fantastic location 😍😍 I'm even more convinced that I made the right choice, choosing Paradise to celebrate my birthday. Thank you so much ❤️

02/03/2026: Last night, and for me it wasn't just dinner, but a complete sensory experience. Let me start by saying something important: (I'm a very particular person) I have delicate intolerances to gluten, milk, and dairy products. I'm also extremely sensitive to flavors, textures, and balance. For me, every detail counts, for better or for worse. Precisely for this reason, I can say that the experience was intense and mindful. I perceived study, research, respect for the ingredients, and great care in adapting the menu to my dietary needs without making me feel "limited," but rather valued. The dishes were elegant, balanced, and never overdone. Each course had a clear identity and a coherence of flavors that I deeply appreciated. I was able to savor every bite carefully, without feeling overwhelmed or compromised. The service was attentive, professional, and never intrusive. You could sense a young but highly trained team with a clear vision. Overall, I was very satisfied. Sapio represents a wonderful level of dining for Catania, and I encourage the team to continue on this path! They are offering high-quality service, with personality and character. Well done!

20/02/2026: The atmosphere is impeccably maintained and the food delicious. An experience worth treating yourself to every now and then.

26/02/2026: Delicious food, very kind owners, excellent service

26/02/2026: If you are visiting Catania, you CAN’T miss this place. I can’t forget how fresh the fish was and how tasty every dish was. Everything feels as if it’s cooked by your mum, in the most traditional and generous Sicilian way of cooking, where food is a true expression of love and caring. I’m looking forward to going back to my hometown and treating myself to Catania Ruffiana!

03/03/2026: Highly recommended! The food is really good!

28/02/2026: Beautiful evening. Welcoming venue, very friendly staff, impeccable service. Excellent food. Highly recommended.

11/03/2026: The restaurant was more than nice. I didn't like the sauce on my bruschetta with porcini mushrooms, so they replaced them, but I'd forgotten I'd ordered tagliatelle with porcini, and it was the same sauce, so... I didn't like that either. How embarrassing! And they changed that one too. I don't know of a restaurant that would have done that... Absolutely fantastic!

07/03/2026: Completely satisfied! We stumbled upon Trattoria La Piattino by chance. But it was a pleasant surprise. 10 overall: Food, hospitality, wide selection, tasteful decor! The owner and waiter were very kind, and the food was delicious. It will be our regular stop every time we come to Zafferana! ❤️
