I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in Catania

14/09/2025: They tell me she makes excellent bread. I have no reason to doubt it, since she makes the best biscuits in all of eastern Sicily. I've brought them to friends all over Italy, and they've always made a great impression.

03/09/2025: For many years, I've been making the trek up to Milo to buy the various delicious biscuits this bakery offers! It's reminiscent of an old-fashioned shop...and it's truly impossible to resist the delicious shortcrust pastry.

27/10/2025: I can't understand how anyone can consider pizza good. ...3 pizzas arrived completely burnt, remade twice ... and even with prices higher than average ... I paid out of courtesy but I threw away €28, pizzas ended up in the garbage ... I wouldn't go back there even if I were tied ... even the sarcasm of the waiter who preferred it like this ... crunchy ... that is, charred and even with the sauce black underneath ... meh!!!! ... when a customer orders specifying a pizza not burned underneath, it does not refer to the cooking but to the fact that attention is paid to cleaning the oven with a simple pass of the broom to remove the residues of burnt flour ... I like a well-cooked pizza, crispy but underneath it must be golden and not full of burns due to poor management of the oven ... In fact, lastly I received a pizza undercooked ... mine is meant to be a constructive criticism, to give you the opportunity to improve ... have a good day.... I returned a month ago for a birthday and I must say that I finally found a very good pizza with excellent ingredients and, finally, with a cooking Impeccable...well done, and congratulations again! Sometimes listening to criticism constructively always leads to improved service...pizza cooked perfectly and wonderfully golden underneath...perfect...we'll gladly return... This has been a long-time favorite place for excellent pizza...October 26, 2025, 10:00 PM...full but not crowded, we immediately got a table for two, and in less than 20 minutes, two wonderful pizzas arrived...perfectly golden, dry, and crispy...excellent ingredients...an excellent wine served by the glass, opened in front of us by a very kind waiter...once again, completely satisfied...congratulations

20/09/2025: I ordered a panino rustico by phone, only to have it ready upon arrival, clearly specifying that, as a vegan, I don't eat Morbidone. The first time, they made a mistake by adding mayonnaise (which wasn't requested and wasn't vegan). I went back to have it remade, and incredibly, the second time they actually used Morbidone as the base. To make matters worse, the owner even had the audacity to ask me to pay for the incorrect sandwich the second time, instead of remaking it correctly and free of charge. I'd like to emphasize that the counter staff has always been knowledgeable and courteous; I have no complaints about them. The only problem was the owner's disrespectful attitude toward customers. Over the years, I've also noticed a decline in the quality of the food. After this experience, unfortunately, I won't be returning.

12/11/2025: A restaurant that simply must be enjoyed. Aim for the staff's recommendations!

12/11/2025: Food was cold. Steak-not well prepared, not possible to cut the meat. All my clients were unsatisfied.

12/09/2025: Nice place, very nice even if small inside, well stocked with food... I had tortellini with mushrooms, decent... cost €4.50, where the first courses are €4... They are kind...

12/09/2025: Lovely people and wonderful local food. My Risotto la Mare was creamy and very tasty.

26/10/2025: My colleagues and I stopped at this restaurant several times during our stay in Catania. What can I say? The food is wonderfully delicious, all accompanied by the kindness of the staff. I highly recommend trying their tuna steak—never tasted so good in my entire life! Also, the fried calamari, the sardines a beccafico, and last but not least, the caponata, both the original version and the one with octopus are delicious. You can taste the love they put into preparing each dish using local, fresh ingredients in every bite. I will definitely be back during my next stay in Catania ♥️

22/10/2025: We thoroughly enjoyed our meal, with some of the highlights being the sardines, mussels and fish skewer. To complete the meal, we had the best tiramisu we‘ve ever eaten, which had a perfect consistency and flavour balance. Would highly recommend

26/10/2025: We went as a group for pizza, and everything was delicious. The food, the staff, the price, and the location.

20/10/2025: Nice restaurant. The food consisted almost exclusively of mushrooms; unfortunately, there was no fish at all, and the appetizers all consisted of a selection of cold cuts (cheese and sausage). The service wasn't very attentive either; I would have liked another glass of wine. The food was okay, with plenty of butter.

22/08/2025: 5 stars for service and breakfast.

28/10/2025: A simple trattoria, but it boasts all the flavors of Sicilian seafood traditions. The food is good, with generous, succulent dishes. The price is fair.

28/10/2025: Seafood trattoria. There's no written menu, which can make choosing a dish a bit difficult. The clam pasta is good. I didn't like the lobster pasta.

11/11/2025: Google says they open at 6pm, but they only open at 8pm. I told them to correct it then, but they don’t seem to care :)

02/11/2025: I was chatting with a woman at a clothing store, she recommended this restaurant, so I went. Everything is good except the portion is so big, I had to cancel the rest of my orders after the appetizers. They were very nice about it. I have to go back to try their other main and pasta dishes.

01/11/2025: Terrible. I went with my wife for our wedding anniversary. I booked a table several days in advance because otherwise you wouldn't find a seat. As soon as we arrived, the waiter, without even a greeting or welcome, told us in a grumpy tone, "Go to the fish counter and choose your dishes." We felt a little overwhelmed. Well, we went to the fish counter, and the owner or the chef arrived. We didn't know because he didn't introduce himself or even say hello. He was just waiting for us to say what we wanted. We ordered 800 grams of calamari and the same number of shrimp because we ordered a seafood salad and two first courses with shrimp. After just twenty minutes, the seafood salad arrived. Now, I don't want to criticize anything, but it's not possible that they were the calamari and shrimp we had chosen shortly before, given that the restaurant was full and between cleaning and cooking, it takes a bit longer. So this made me a little nervous because I felt like I was out and about early. And then I wondered where the 800 grams of calamari we'd chosen had gone, since the seafood salad contained far less, as it was all shrimp (good), and the calamari were cut into small rectangles. The seafood salad was swimming in oil. Then the first courses arrived, the shrimp linguine, which was also swimming. The service was terrible, with dishes thrown on the table with no consideration and no sign of courtesy. In the end, we stood up and paid about 80 euros for the seafood salad, the two first courses, and a bottle of water. Dear Sirs, in restaurants, customers are welcomed, accompanied to the table, made to feel at ease; I don't have to explain good manners. A terrible experience and an anniversary evening to forget.

25/10/2025: Worth seeing is the cave where a river flows inside the restaurant.

17/09/2025: I can't understand some of the negative reviews here. The pizza was truly excellent. My standards for pizza are quite high, and they were more than met here. Yes, the prices are a bit above average, but that's completely understandable given the high-quality, local ingredients. In addition to classic versions, there are also exciting creations, for example, with smoked cheese or fish! The desserts were also a highlight: The orange cream and the dark chocolate tartufo were simply divine. The service was attentive, friendly, and quick. Add to that the great atmosphere right on the water with a view of the square – an all-round delight!

06/09/2025: Beer and pizza prices for tourists

07/11/2025: Everything was excellent. Impeccable service. Top.

26/09/2025: Good, plentiful food and really pleasant service

01/11/2025: My boyfriend and I had a truly enjoyable evening at this restaurant! A heartfelt thank you to Anna, whose kindness and helpfulness made the experience even better: she went out of her way to please me and was extremely attentive and thoughtful. The pizzas were delicious, soft, and full of flavor—you can immediately taste the quality of the ingredients and the care taken in their preparation. Impeccable service, a welcoming atmosphere, and great customer service. Highly recommended! 🍕✨

21/10/2025: I would recommend it to everyone

08/09/2025: I would have simply understood the discomfort of working with the public and paid attention to the moments full of requests if it hadn't been for the long wait, the fact that we received part of our order almost immediately and the rest an hour later (which turned out to be inedible). When we made mention of our discomfort, the treatment we received was surly and annoyed.

07/09/2025: Know a very good and very beautiful atmosphere

06/09/2025: We stayed at La Fontana del Cherubino and couldn't have made a better choice! The property is meticulously maintained, spotlessly clean, welcoming, and immersed in a truly special atmosphere. The location is perfect for exploring the area, yet also guarantees tranquility and relaxation. A special thanks to Mr. Mario, always available and attentive, whose kindness made us feel at home. Every detail was designed to make our stay comfortable and enjoyable. We had a wonderful time and can't wait to return next year!

01/09/2025: We had a fabulous stay here! Such a nice quiet location, surrounded by nature, and next to mount Etna. The breakfast service with the bar in town was fantastic! We enjoyed the local foods from the suggestions, and even got to see the old aqueduct when we asked to visit. Wonderful experience and thanks for making us feel so at home!
