I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in Catania

10/05/2026: The restaurant is very nice, it's in a cave. We only had lunch. The food was a disappointment; we left almost everything. I don't recommend it.

03/05/2026: A relaxing Sunday of sightseeing. Excellent lunch, tasty and plentiful dishes. Friendly and attentive staff. An experience to repeat.

27/04/2026: We were welcomed like family, and treated with the utmost hospitality. For our group of three and our dog, our stay here was the most memorable of our ten day trip in Sicily. The grounds alone with the views of Mount Etna make this a visit not to miss. Add the delicious FRESH plates of the best food of the trip, you can’t go wrong if it’s just stopping by for a meal or a stay. We are two pescatarians and a vegan (hardly easy to accommodate in Sicily) but we ate so well the whole stay. We also loved our room. It’s a very chic version of glamping, and we did not feel like anything was missing to make our stay more comfortable. Don’t miss out on the place!

26/04/2026: A truly unique place, immersed in nature and offering total relaxation. The property is in an exceptional location for all kinds of excursions. Managed by extremely kind, friendly, and helpful people. Breakfast terrace with a priceless view of the Catania plain. What can I say? HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

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

31/05/2026: Location: Beautiful pitches amidst vineyards Reception: Friendly staff member, explained everything well Sanitary facilities: Clean, no individual shower cubicles but communal showers, but that's not a problem for a short stay Restaurant: There was a multi-course menu, the food was excellent and actually far too much ;-) A bottle of wine was included, the price was absolutely reasonable Surroundings: The pool was unfortunately not yet open. The location is fantastic. Conclusion: Very nice, we would gladly come back for a set menu sometime.

31/05/2026: We had dinner at this agriturismo, which can be seen from the main road. It looked like a very nice place, and indeed, from the outside, the establishment is worth it. Once inside, we realized that, unfortunately, the interior wasn't what we expected: dated and not renovated. They sat us in a recess in the room because there was a banquet going on. Our tablecloth was old and stained, we were surrounded by shopping bags, empty bottles, and cupboards full of glasses that needed washing, not to mention the flies that reigned supreme because the device that's supposed to repel them was broken. The food, unfortunately, wasn't at all satisfying. The appetizers were boiled vegetables, which, although they may be genuine and locally sourced, I recommend avoiding because they leave customers a bit confused, especially the broccoli that wasn't washed properly (not even a few drops). The first and second courses were nothing to write home about: pasta with meat sauce and pork, two pieces of sausage, and a rib. We're way off in terms of quality for the price they charge. We visit a lot of agriturismos, so this is just constructive criticism. The only positive note was the very fast service. I don't think we'll be back.

06/01/2026: The grilled fish left much to be desired, the veal steak looked inviting but was flavorless, and the pork shank was presentable and quite tender. The staff were kind and attentive, and attention to detail was needed for the aesthetics. The price was not in line with the quality.

25/12/2025: Friendly staff and fresh seafood with a nice beach view. The food took a while to come out, considering that there were only two tables with people, but it was definitely worth the wait. Would come here again!

09/06/2026: I was there last week, very nice place with large outdoor space, good food especially the pizza, highly recommended

26/05/2026: Refined and delicious creations. Friendly service. Everything was great.

17/02/2026: We were there a couple of weeks ago... All in all I have to say everything was good... Helpful staff... Maybe but that's okay. Prices a little high...

24/01/2026: The owner is extremely kind and helpful, demonstrating extreme professionalism and customer service. He provided us with valuable information on where to go to safely complete our Etna excursion. Due to heavy snow, we weren't able to get to the restaurant, but we'll definitely be back as soon as we can!

01/06/2026: An extraordinary experience in every way: from the welcome to the final tasting, everything was perfect. Rachele and Giuseppe in the dining room deserve applause: knowledgeable, passionate, and impeccable in guiding us through the wines and pairings, making each course a true journey of taste. The appetizer of raw and cooked fish was a masterpiece: the freshest ingredients, crafted with care and respect, brought out every flavor. Among the main courses, the sea bass with almonds captivated with its refinement and balance, delicate and crispy to perfection, while the sweet and sour tuna with caramelized onion was a triumph of flavor, intense but never overpowering. To complete this unforgettable experience, a selection of top-quality local liqueurs and amari, adding the final touch of authenticity and class. A dinner that will remain etched in your memory: a true temple of taste and elegance.

01/06/2026: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ One of the best dining experiences of recent times. An elegant yet welcoming venue, with a refined atmosphere that immediately puts you at ease. The service was impeccable: attentive, professional, and never intrusive, with a dining room team capable of enhancing each dish with thoughtful recommendations and a deep knowledge of the wine list. The quality of the ingredients is evident in every course. The fish dishes impress with their freshness, technique, and respect for the product, with preparations that enhance the flavors without overpowering them. Each course is carefully crafted, with balanced pairings and elegant presentations. The extensive and well-structured wine selection was also highly appreciated, as was the selection of local liqueurs and amari, ideal for rounding off the gastronomic journey with authentic and refined products. A restaurant that successfully combines quality, hospitality, and passion for cuisine. A place to recommend without hesitation and to return to whenever you want to treat yourself to a special evening.

02/06/2026: Very nice place, the dishes are elegant to look at and delicious for both the palate and the stomach! The service was also perfect. I will definitely be back, thank you.

23/04/2026: A very tasty and decent place. Everything was top-notch, from the service, interior, presentation, and food. A pleasant surprise. Thank you.

13/08/2025: A truly fantastic place to spend a wonderful holiday with friends and family. You can find whatever you're looking for. I would definitely recommend it.

25/05/2025: We called on a Saturday evening to see if there was availability for nine people. The waiter replied yes, albeit a little hesitantly, as if I were making fun of him. We easily found parking and were seated shortly after our arrival. I asked if I could order for the children, but the waiter said he'd send his colleague, but he arrived at least 15 minutes later. We ordered, and half of our drinks arrived. As soon as some potatoes arrived, we asked for more, but once again the waiter turned a deaf ear and headed to other tables that, despite arriving after us, had been served first. The waiters were absent; halfway through the meal, they reported that some of the items we'd ordered were missing (items like prosciutto, for example!), and, having been given the wrong order, they brought us a dish we hadn't ordered (we asked for roast potatoes, and they brought grilled meat, calling it roast!). Reading the reviews, we expected 5-star cuisine, but unfortunately it was just an illusion; Good baked sausage, decent pork shank... Pinsa was undefined, rubbery, and with clumps of mozzarella. The worst thing, however, was the wait staff. While we were at the cash register, the two young men cheered when we got up. It's a shame that once they caught them, they imitated some kind of TIC. Something like that is unacceptable in a place like that. I advise the lady to completely rethink the staff. The only positive note of the evening was the 1-liter glass bottle of Coke!

29/04/2026: Beautiful location among vineyards, right at the foot of Mount Etna. The staff were incredibly friendly, and having an early breakfast before my Etna tour was no problem. The food in the restaurant was delicious. The pool was still a bit too chilly for me personally – but the grounds and view were fantastic.

24/04/2026: Absolutely fantastic time! Janan made the experience so nice. I just need to practice my Italian!

30/05/2026: Great value! Il Sale offers a truly first-class menu, served by a very friendly team. The location and atmosphere are also fantastic.

30/05/2026: Food and wine were delicious, service was friendly and fast, and cocktails were excellent!

14/02/2026: Very polite and friendly bartender

23/12/2025: The staff were friendly and attentive. They gave me a delicious Christmas cake. The products were fresh and of excellent quality. Highly recommended.

08/06/2026: Great hotel in a great location! Extremely friendly staff who were genuinely helpful and nice. They gave us two small free water bottles when we checked out for the drive to the airport. The food at the restaurant and breakfast was delicious we had two dinners and two breakfasts there. The pool was clean and beautiful very relaxing. The only improvement could be the beds/pillows they were a bit uncomfortable. But they were the most comfortable we had in all of Sicily. Overall great place that I highly recommend and I would definitely stay there again.

14/05/2026: Highly Recommended for the tranquility, amazing views and hospitality.

11/06/2026: We hadn't been to this place for a while, and in the past we'd eaten really well, but now it was a bit disappointing, starting with the house appetizer. Before, we were spoiled for choice, but now we found very little to choose from, and most of it was from the previous day's cooking, and it was only 8:00 PM and there were only 6 people seated. The horse meatballs tasted good but were very dry, the one with Philadelphia had a really bad taste, as if it had been kneaded for days, and the sausage was completely raw. The only good thing was the fillet, but we paid quite a bit for just 4 small slices: €55.

03/06/2026: A place where you could fill up with such a wide variety of appetizers, the first courses are plentiful, and the grilled food—I dare say, out of this world—is something you can clearly feel when you're 40 years old in front of the grill. The price is undoubtedly affordable, a moral endorsement for the taste and price. Try it and believe it.
