I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in Catania

07/06/2025: Excellent quality of fresh pasta. Spectacular lasagna with pumpkin and/or pistachio. Excellent choice of first courses and side dishes. Quick and discreet service Kindness and cordiality

01/06/2025: Ho ordinato con Just Eat. Un'ora e 25 minuti di ritardo. Il ristorante si era comportato così anche l'anno scorso. Non hanno risposto neanche al telefono. I tonnarelli alla carbonara con la panna, terribili! Paci artigiani pastai: dei grandissimi maleducati, non sanno cosa significhi lavorare con serietà. Ivana, Ct.

06/08/2025: Quality homemade Italian food at a low price! Great service and a quiet terrace with views of the volcano!

28/07/2025: Mare e Monti Pizza⛰️🏖️ Simply delicious 😋

16/08/2025: Everything was top-notch =) We were pampered!! SPECTACULAR FOOD We highly recommend it! Aperitivo was amazing... homemade food... wonderful!

17/07/2025: Maximum customer care, greeted with kindness, professionalism, and attentiveness. Excellent food and drinks. It's not easy to feel at ease in unfamiliar places, but here it becomes very easy. Highly recommended!

26/07/2025: A very picturesque location, overlooking the rocks of Catania. Fresh and refined. We ate well.

25/07/2025: This place is really nice and right on the water. The menu is primarily seafood and pizza. I can't speak for the pizza but the seafood is fantastic. Nero di Sepia is one of the best I tried in all of Sicily. The fish capacio is also very good. Ambiance is nice and it's right by the coast. One drawback is that it can be a little hot inside especially in the summer when it doesn't really cool down.

21/08/2025: Excellent bar at any time, hot food and always fresh breakfast

02/08/2025: Unfortunately, I have to DO NOT RECOMMEND this little bar because the girl at the cash register made her usual, truly unpleasant mistake: Not knowing that I'm actually from Catania and therefore familiar with the local prices, she charged me €4 for a ravioli with ricotta (mediocre flavor, priced in Catania from €1.50 to €2) and a coffee (from €1 to €1.20), obviously without giving me a receipt... Because of HER, I will never set foot in that place again and I won't recommend it to anyone. Well done, and congratulations!

03/09/2025: Good and plentiful food, a nice meat-based menu

31/08/2025: I waited 1.5 hours for the food to arrive, hoping to get powdered parmesan cheese for the oily pasta. It's a shame, the location is actually nice.

27/06/2025: Trattoria of the past, now unobtainable nowadays. Quality, simplicity and modest prices that seem almost fictitious compared to what you find around. Family-run, with a kindness and a unique humility even with the many foreigners who are lucky enough to end up in this place. Go there if you want to eat in a gem of times gone by that I hope will resist the dynamics of the modern market. Congratulations!

12/06/2025: For a truly local dining experience, Trattoria Aldo is a must. Tucked away just behind the open market, this family-run trattoria offers authentic, home-style cooking in a warm and unpretentious setting. As you enjoy your meal, you’ll likely find yourself surrounded by locals — a sure sign that this place is the real deal. It’s exactly the kind of spot that gives you a genuine taste of the city’s culinary culture.

28/08/2025: The granitas and desserts are delicious, the hot food a little less so except for the unique onion that I have never tasted so good, in fact every time I go I always have to wait so much they sell out, the unique brioche col tuppo is also very good and served hot, the staff is very kind, professional and friendly, the atmosphere is fairly quiet, but overall Alecci deserves good work, I recommend it, and a short wait.

21/08/2025: The granitas with brioche are excellent

28/08/2025: There were six of us who chose the all-you-can-eat option. I must say, the buffet was very varied, with various dishes to suit all tastes. A cocktail/drink/beer was also included. Excellent value for money, we'll definitely be back.

27/08/2025: We ordered a charcuterie board for €11, which could have been more generous, considering that €18.00 gets you all the food you want and a drink. Unfortunately, it didn't fit at my table, so I didn't have a choice.

22/08/2025: Best pizza in the area, perfect dough, no problems at all, fair prices, top-quality ingredients, I have to go back! Very kind owners.

21/08/2025: This pizzeria is primarily a takeout place, with a few tables inside, though in the summer they also set up a few tables outside. We tried the pizzoli and pizzas, made with multigrain dough. Both were tasty, fragrant, and very easy to digest. The atmosphere is friendly, and the prices are fair. I recommend stopping by if you're in the area.

24/08/2025: Read the menu before you go!!! Especially if you have food intolerances or follow a vegetarian/vegan diet. There are three vegetarian dishes, actually two, because the same ingredients are offered in both a panini and a sandwich. There are no vegan dishes. Of the only two vegetarian options, one contains eggs (which some people are allergic to), and the other is the sad grilled zucchini sandwich. The beer is good, but there are much more inclusive pubs nearby with equally good beers. Not recommended. I will gladly return if they expand their menu. Prices are high for what we managed to eat.

24/08/2025: A very quaint venue, especially the area inside the actual cave. It's accessible in the fall and winter months, and it's very lively. Karaoke is available every Sunday evening. Excellent service, virtually no long waits, delicious sandwiches made with high-quality ingredients at very reasonable prices, especially compared to nearby pubs, and excellent beers. The only downside is that access is a bit tricky, which could be a small problem for people with disabilities. Overall, however, it's a truly beautiful venue. I'll definitely be back.

13/03/2025: We ate well at a cheap price, fresh and well prepared food, hospitality and kindness characteristic of the place, I also want to give additional praise for the cleanliness of the toilets.

07/09/2025: A very charming courtyard. The location is very charming with its lights and background music. The place offers a variety of cocktails and delicious food like pinsa or platters. The multi-chocolate gelato is truly spectacular. It's a truly refined and balanced place!

30/08/2025: Friendly staff and great cocktails

23/07/2025: Eating good, normal, annoying, they didn't give you time, they took your plate away while you were eating and they kept asking what you were having, I'll never go again

20/07/2025: Great place to eat. Everything was simple but good. If you are somewhere close to Salvo’s restaurant don’t hesitate to visit

28/08/2025: I ordered the pistachio ravioli, which were delicious. It's a shame the pasta wasn't cooked very well. I didn't want to complain because I'd been invited.

27/08/2025: Very nice and welcoming atmosphere, typical Sicilian food but high-quality, decent portions, fresh food. I recommend the homemade desserts, a real treat. I recommend booking in advance.
