I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in Catania

03/08/2025: Schiacciata con salumi e formaggi buonissima. Il vino consigliatoci ottimo. Proprietari gentilissimi. Consigliatissimo.

02/07/2025: An excellent experience at this restaurant and wine bar. The owner is friendly and cheerful, the food is exceptional and generous, and the prices are reasonable. One of our favorite places in Catania, we'll definitely return before the end of our stay!

03/09/2025: Small, friendly restaurant with very friendly service and delicious local dishes.

02/09/2025: Elio, the owner and chef, serves exquisite traditional Italian food in a no-frills setting. The ambiance is homely, and the service is warm and welcoming. It’s the closest you’ll get to having lunch at a nonno’s house. The one thing this place is missing is a Michelin Star.

22/07/2025: We were driving to our destination, and not knowing we'd be passing through a town famous for its pistachios, we couldn't pass up such an opportunity. It was a great place, with delicious pistachio cream cookies and pistachio espresso. It was heavenly.

04/07/2025: Pistachio cake served with coffee is a delight

10/09/2025: Highly recommended! Delicious sets with pizza, fries, a drink, and your choice of cold cuts or cheese. Various flavors. Reasonably priced and high quality.

09/09/2025: The place has a casual atmosphere, perfect for a quiet moment. I tried a simple pizza, and it was very good, with excellent dough and very fresh ingredients. What struck me was the variety of the menu, as in addition to pizza, they also offer waffles, something different that you don't find everywhere. The service was quick and helpful, always with a smile. The prices are quite reasonable for what they offer. Without a doubt, a pleasant place where I would return without hesitation.

23/07/2025: Very tasty food and excellent service. Inexpensive! Our recommendations

21/07/2025: Very generous portions and delicious food, even the house wine is more than acceptable and the service is quick, the quality/price ratio is more than satisfactory

10/09/2025: Nice and clean rooms, but the bathroom had a foul/unpleasant odor. Very tasty breakfast and dinner (except for the arancini), but unfortunately, the service at dinner wasn't particularly friendly or attentive.

14/08/2025: A hotel with all the amenities you'll never leave. The service and facilities are fantastic. Very convenient if you want to visit Taormina or hike Mount Etna. I recommend it especially for the summer months.

21/08/2025: We visited Rinuccio a Milo and it was a wonderful experience. We ate traditional Sicilian dishes with a refined twist, all delicious and with attention to detail. The staff and chef were extremely kind and efficient, making us feel welcomed and pampered. The restaurant is located in a truly enchanting location, surrounded by nature and with a marvelous view of Mount Etna. A place that combines excellent food, friendliness, and the beauty of the landscape. Highly recommended!

19/08/2025: Ristorante Da Rinuccio is a renowned osteria located in Milo, on the slopes of Mount Etna, on Via Mareneve. It is renowned for its authentic Sicilian cuisine and welcoming atmosphere surrounded by greenery. Traditional Sicilian and Mediterranean dishes are served, with a focus on local ingredients. Specialties include: Trofie with pistachio cream and crispy bacon, and Macaroni with Nebrodi pork ragù and fennel. Second courses include slow-cooked pork shank and sliced cubed roll with mixed salad. The excellent ingredients used and the friendly, attentive staff are impressive. Also recommended for its location, the lush greenery surrounding the rustic restaurant, and the view of Mount Etna.

05/08/2025: Feels like a very authentic place. Cannoli aren't premade, but filled up when you ask for one. It's possible to pay by card. People go in and out all the time so don't expect to have a quiet chat there, just go, get your coffee and dessert and go on to explore Catania. :)

01/08/2025: A small café recommended by our B&B host, and what can I say? No advice was ever so spot-on! We spent five days in Catania and had breakfast every morning with different brioches, delicious, super-filled, and beautiful to look at (especially the pistachio cannoli filled freshly with ricotta, superb!!). We also had arancini, pizzas, and other deli items: delicious!!! The great thing is that both the sweet and savory dishes, despite being well-seasoned, remain light because they're made with genuine ingredients and cooked to perfection. The staff is very friendly, kind, and pleasant, they make you feel at home. Recommended to everyone 🔝🔝🔝

17/08/2025: I can't post any photos, except for the receipt. But let's just say we were there in 2013, 2015, and we're back in 2025. We have nothing but kind words for this family business, where the owner will serve you with a big smile and warmth. This time, our third time back, we ordered beers for drinks, and for lunch: shrimp tartar, smoked salmon salad, and a chicken panini... Everything, absolutely everything, amazing!!! We will definitely keep coming back as many times as we come to Catania. Thanks for everything 💙

14/08/2025: A welcoming place in the heart of Catania, with a wide selection of craft beers and tasty food. The staff is incredibly friendly and welcoming, perfect for a relaxed evening with friends. Highly recommended! 🍻

04/06/2025: Esa pizza es increíble. Los mejores ingredientes, el mejor servicio y muy buena vista. El chef era fantástico y hecho para nosotros especial Pasta. ¡Este es un lugar especial!

01/06/2025: Oh my goodness, what a marvel! We repeated the dinner and lunch, the friendly service was so special, and the food... Very exquisite "truly exquisite wine!!!! A kiss and a thousand thanks to everyone. Sandra and Cristian from "Cuenca- Spain"

13/08/2025: The vest restaurant so far that we've visited in Catania so far. Great selection, fair prices, and attentive service. A balance of meat, pasta, and seafood options

13/08/2025: Very good pasta, the best we've tasted on the entire island

12/09/2025: Everything was perfect! Food, quality, service, etc.! Banquet for 46 people Everything was perfect and as we agreed!

19/08/2025: It's a pleasure every time, and I can only compliment the entire staff. The pleasure of the palate is matched by that of the eyes. The dishes are delicious, and the setting is beautiful, not to mention the kindness and friendliness of the staff. Highly recommended.

10/09/2025: Bravo Perfection Sapio (Chef Alessandro Ingiulla, 1★ Michelin) → Unique experience, modern Sicilian cuisine, wine cellar, and artistic setting. Perfect for an elegant and refined evening. You can request a tasting menu (6 to 8 courses), with wine pairings, to transform your birthday into an unforgettable memory. Jessica Ivano Belgium

07/09/2025: Spectacular food that is well worth its Michelin star and more. The cold pasta with tomato and shrimp was a particular standouts. The tasting menu was sumptuous with a wild variety of dishes, ways of preparations. The chef is not afraid of strong tastes, like the fermented cabbage - but without overdoing it. The pigeon was also perfectly prepared. There was too much too remember and enjoy to I can only highly recommend going there!

25/06/2025: As soon as we landed in Catania late at night, we were hungry and looking for a restaurant in the center of Catania, we stopped at this trattoria where they made us sit outside, we were welcomed with smiles and cordiality, we ate fresh fish and excellent seafood and all at very reasonable prices. Excellent experience, well done!

14/06/2025: Had dinner as a couple, a truly excellent experience. We took a raw and cooked appetizer, a first course (shrimp, basil pesto, cherry tomatoes, all fresh) recommended when ordering and a bottle of Grillo 7 terre. The staff was knowledgeable, present and precise. If I had to find a flaw in the evening: for dessert only sorbet (perhaps all the others on the menu were finished).

29/08/2025: Mirabella Imbaccari's Paradise Restaurant is a true delight for those who love good food and generous portions. The dishes are prepared with quality, fresh, and carefully selected ingredients, and this is immediately evident in the taste: each course is flavorful and meticulously prepared. Another strong point is undoubtedly the generous portions: the portions are generous and satisfying, perfect for both those who appreciate traditional dishes and those who want a hassle-free lunch or dinner. The service is impeccable: the waiters are distinguished by their professionalism, courtesy, and helpfulness. Attentive to every guest's needs, they make the experience even more enjoyable, always with a smile and meticulous attention to detail.

29/08/2025: I'd heard about the Sferracavallo evening, and I must say we were pleasantly surprised not only by the abundance but also by the quality of the food, which was delicious! Compliments also to the lovely owner and the staff, who were polite and friendly! Definitely worth repeating!
