I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in Catania

11/01/2026: Very good food, especially good, last night I ate cod a ghiotta that I couldn't take out of my mouth, congratulations....

09/01/2026: I wish I’d heard of this restaurant earlier in our trip as I would have dined here more regularly. The pork cheek was one of the tastiest dishes I’ve ever consumed. The service was courteous and efficient and I’d highly recommend a visit here.

03/03/2026: Great experience. Pizza and food were top-notch!

23/02/2026: Excellent pizza and excellent dough. Easily digestible. Very tasty and high-quality.

09/01/2026: Terrible service. We were offered a verbal menu without any information about the prices. Trusting the service (after years of coming), we were literally shocked by the bill: €220 for appetizers (the diminutive is a must given the extremely modest portions), that is, 22 small plates of appetizers (I even doubt the actual number) for €10 each. Madness. Not even at the best seafood restaurants. Moral of the story: a bill of about €50 per person for 12 diners (including 3 children who only had a plate of penne with sauce each), of which €27 was just for the appetizer. Madness! Just as madness will be returning to this place. Don't get ripped off and ask for a menu with the relevant prices.

02/01/2026: Lunch January 1, 2026 A truly exceptional experience! The quality of the ingredients used is exceptional: carefully crafted dishes, authentic flavors, and the freshest ingredients truly make the difference. Each course was well-balanced and showcased the selected ingredients to their fullest. The service was impeccable from the very first moment: the staff was kind, attentive, and very professional. We especially appreciated the clear explanation of how the New Year's Eve lunch would unfold, given that it was a special day and was organized differently than usual. This made everything more relaxing and enjoyable, without any surprises. The location is splendid, with meticulous attention to detail and equipped with every comfort, ideal for enjoying a meal in complete tranquility. You can sense great attention to both the ambiance and the well-being of the guests. As a customer, I fully understand the commitment and sacrifices of those who choose to work during the holidays, and for this reason, the service we received was even more appreciated. A restaurant that demonstrates professionalism, organization, and great humanity. Congratulations, we will definitely be back! 🌟

20/02/2026: Excellent pizza, especially the very light and well-developed dough. It's a shame the selection is so limited; they could expand the menu a bit. The atmosphere is rustic but welcoming.

25/01/2026: Amazing pizza! Very kind and helpful staff.

13/03/2026: This little corner on the ground floor of the Four Points by Sheraton hotel is a haven for Sicilian cuisine. I've eaten there several times and enjoyed refined and original dishes, such as a grilled octopus that was divine. My partner raves about it and highly recommends it, just as I do.

15/02/2026: Last night, February 14th, we had dinner at this Valentine's Day-themed restaurant. The dinner was truly excellent, kudos to the staff. Everything was exceptional, with unique dishes: from the nuggets served in avocado sauce to the truffle and stracchino ravioli for the first course, and the braised veal cheek on purple potatoes for the second course—a true delight. I highly recommend this restaurant. The table service was also impeccable, of course.

24/02/2026: If you're looking for the perfect place and, at the same time, want to eat divinely, you've come to the right place. The decor is meticulously crafted, modern, and sophisticated, with lighting that creates the perfect atmosphere from early morning. The pastry shop is almost architectural: they look like jewels with vibrant colors. I tried their gourmet breakfast and the pastry was simply perfect. I'll definitely be back, especially to try the deli counter, which, even just looking at it, is enchanting. It's not just a café, it's an aesthetic experience.

28/12/2025: A great little place for breakfast and coffee, with top-quality products and really nice coffee. The pistachio ice cream was fantastic, and they have a great variety of croissants to choose from. In the evening, there’s music which creates a lovely atmosphere, and the people working there are very friendly and welcoming. A great place to visit any time of the day.

21/02/2026: Unconventional Club ❤️ Fantastic club in the village of San Giovanni la Punta at the foot of Mount Etna, offering huge parking and genuine hospitality! As soon as you enter, Gaetano, the owner, makes you feel right at home! Excellent food, delicious, unique beers, and delicious cocktails prepared with skill and professionalism! The splendid backdrop of Mount Etna enhances the delights you're enjoying even more! I recommend it to everyone.

08/02/2026: Discovered by chance last night, we start from the entrance a long avenue in the greenery, beautiful.. I found the owner's welcome special, I was there for a quick stop that was not at all quick, I had a cocktail but it turned out to be a real experience, sipping my Gin Tonic I had the opportunity to appreciate the way, the care in preparing every single drink of the very nice barlady Giusy, top.. it was a coincidence that I was there but I already feel that place home.. I will return soon 🔝

03/10/2025: Super, super, SUPER good mushroom pasta and white wine, I think it was house wine 👌

14/08/2025: Got an extra 3 euro charge that we weren't told about per person. Not sure as to why. Food was good and well priced.

22/02/2026: A beautiful location outside Catania, discovered by chance for a night out with colleagues. The pizza has a super light dough and exceptional toppings. Really good, I recommend it.

12/01/2026: Very nice and comfortable. A little out of the way from Catania, but with a beautiful view of Etna and Catania from above. Excellent parking and breakfast are served—you just have to order the day before. The service is very elegant, and the staff are very kind and helpful. Every time I pass through Catania, it's a regular stop, where I can feel a little at home and relax.

15/09/2025: Not much to say, the guys are amazing, the food is delicious, the cocktails are amazing. Maybe avoid the weekends, it's very crowded and the service is inevitably very slow.

21/08/2025: Good focaccia but the waiting times are too long.

23/02/2026: A well-maintained and quiet place. Impeccable service provided by professionals. High-quality food, and I especially praise the splendid craftsmanship of the pizza base. Easy to get to and accessible to all. Well... haven't left yet?!

28/12/2025: Excellent welcoming place and very kind staff

08/03/2026: Good evening, I'm leaving my review after being at your restaurant yesterday, Saturday, March 7th. I'll start by saying that the person bringing the dishes to the table is lacking in kindness. A guy wearing white socks arrives, dressed in black/dark clothing, to be more precise... unsightly (and I'm even opening and closing parentheses, the waiters are all dressed differently: jeans, trousers, white socks. It didn't seem like a uniform to me, and that already affects the restaurant's identity). I complain about the wait for 3 pizzas, almost an hour. The guy explains to me that with multiple rooms open, it's difficult to avoid a wait. Okay, I understand. But you can't just leave me there while we're talking, turn around and walk away... that's not an option. WE FELT ABANDONED. Average pizzas, okay prices. ZERO white socks from the waiter.

16/02/2026: The waiters are VERY friendly and extremely knowledgeable, especially the guys assigned upstairs and the cashier. The food is truly good, you can taste the quality, and the portions are generous. I had a pizza and an entrecote. The pizza was delicious, not too heavy (a sign of proper leavening) and well-seasoned, while the entrecote was cooked to perfection, with a mix of spices that enhanced its flavor. I'll be back for the service and the food.

22/02/2026: Lapidary: the best bakery in Catania.

14/02/2026: I bought the buckwheat bread; to call it awful would be a compliment, truly inedible. But what's really annoying about this shop is the habit, confirmed by other reviews, of not giving 20 or 30 cents in change! The ladies, whose cash registers are full, feel entitled to "round up" the already high price of their products, obviously always to their advantage. So, if I have to pay €4.70, the receipt is correct, but the 30 cents are not given. IT IS THE CUSTOMER'S RIGHT TO GET CHANGE, AND WITHOUT HAVING TO ASK FOR IT! Unfortunately, it's worth noting the behavior of customers from Catania who, rather than appear, in their opinion, to be looked at as poor, prefer to make a whole different kind of change and then complain as soon as they leave. Good morning, I can't find the option to interact with your reply, so I'll continue here. I didn't ask the cashier why, because I only noticed it once I got into the car, where my friend was waiting in the double parking lot. When I pointed it out to her, she said the same thing had happened to her. I'll also quote a review of your bakery on Tripadvisor: "IT'S NOT DONE! The products are excellent, but I don't appreciate the fact that they arbitrarily round up the price. I was very disappointed by this behavior. I regularly buy bread, and not just that." I reiterate, therefore, that it's not the 1, 2, or 3 cents you're talking about, the rounding of which we've become accustomed to. Kind regards

08/03/2026: A typical Catania trattoria, where the excellent quality of the products is palpable. They also serve pasta dishes. Truly excellent.

06/02/2026: A small, intimate grill restaurant with classic flavors, reasonable prices, and good quality.
