I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in Catania

03/07/2025: — FOOD — Had the estate tasting menu. The starter shrimp is good; the main course seabass is underwhelming. Overall, not an impressive one-star restaurant, overpriced. — SERVICE — Everyone was seated outside. There were many mosquitoes. To make it worse, a cockroach flew on our desk and drank our water. The waiter told me this is nature as we are in nature. That is a deal breaker for me.

02/07/2025: Had a splendid experience at both of our meals at Zash Ristorante. As we were staying at the property, we were able to enjoy the full blown Michelin experience (ordered the 5 course chef’s surprise menu) on Monday evening followed by the pizza menu Tuesday (the restaurant’s “night off”) and both were stellar. Amazing views of the on-site orchard and sea in the distance. The five-course wound up being closer to 7 if you include the hefty bread course and amuse bouche which come with the order. Had some stellar Etna Bianco with both, great service and dining was five star across both very different meals. The tuna belly, ravioli and Pizza Norma were all huge hits and we trusted the Zash team to select amari and wine with little direction at both meals, and they didn’t miss.

10/03/2025: Great bar that we discovered on vacation. The staff is incredibly nice! The pistachio and nutella croissants are so good!

10/12/2024: Excellent granita with very firm cream, very kind staff

27/01/2025: The food is good but compared to the past it is very expensive, furthermore they never give you a receipt but they tell you the total directly, so it is impossible to understand the prices of the various courses and what is convenient or not! Convenient for the seats but let's remember that it is still a deli and not a restaurant

20/01/2025: Il locale non è grandissimo, ma sfruttato al massimo, per un pasto al volo è perfetto. Accoglienza fantastica, come in famiglia, ma quello che mi ha sorpreso davvero è la varietà delle portate (anche opzioni vegetariane), nonché della qualità, tutto fresco. Assolutamente consigliato.

31/05/2025: È da molti anni che conosciamo il Sig. Mario e la famiglia Bonaccorso. Al solito il pranzo è stato all'altezza delle aspettative dagli antipasti, ai 2 primi (sedani al ragù di vitello con finocchietto selvatico e tortellini ai funghi porcini conditi con speck e nocciola) al secondo e al dolce. Consigliato.

20/04/2025: We had lunch at this restaurant for the first time over Easter. We were welcomed impeccably. We ate very well with genuine, excellent quality products. All 10 people at the table enjoyed it. We thank you so much for the welcome and kindness given to us.

06/07/2025: Total disappointment: 2 hours of waiting for nothing. Deeply disappointing experience. After arriving and waiting for two hours, we were told that there had been internal problems, understandable, it happens. But the unacceptable came later: despite the apologies, we continued to wait while people who arrived well after us were served. No management of the order of arrival, no attention to the inconvenience caused, no priority given to those who had been waiting for hours. If a place has an unexpected event, the least you can do is try to fix it by giving priority to those who have already waited a long time, not make the situation even worse with disorganization and superficiality. A shame, because we had arrived with great expectations. But after this management, it is difficult to imagine returning and even more difficult to recommend it to others.

17/06/2025: Great place to enjoy a delicious hamburger loaded with ingredients and above all tasty. Qualified staff, attentive to customer needs and also very prepared. Average prices, very respectable. I will return.

20/05/2025: Very good pizza and warm welcome!

01/02/2025: Shabby experience Disgusting pizza with 4 chips placed on top and also raw and WITHOUT SALT!!! Never buy pizzas here, you will be very disappointed. We ordered 4 pizzas including one that was literally burnt (our hands were black with charcoal) and one that was raw and almost inghiummau… All in all, never buy a pizza here you will regret it.

08/06/2025: A relaxing corner in the center, good music, excellent food, impeccable service

14/03/2025: Wonderful location, very kind and professional staff, thanks to them I had a wonderful birthday!

25/05/2025: We ordered 4 tiramisu and 1 cannoli - it was dry and old, completely uneatable unfortunately. The worst dessert I ever tried. Good thing that when we told it was so bad they did not charge us for it. We also ordered 4 coffees, and got only 3 of them (after reminding about the 4th coffee we still did not get it) - but we were charged for 4 coffees. Overall I don’t recommend this place.

28/03/2025: Fair price, tasty dishes, very kind staff.

01/06/2025: I had the pleasure of having breakfast at the Area 51 Lounge Bar in Motta Sant’Anastasia and I was extremely satisfied with the overall experience. The place is modern, well-kept and welcoming, with a relaxing atmosphere ideal for starting the day in the best possible way. The staff was courteous, helpful and attentive to detail, helping to make breakfast time even more enjoyable. The gastronomic offer is varied and of excellent quality: I was able to enjoy an excellent coffee, accompanied by a fragrant and freshly filled brioche, which highlighted the bar's attention to the freshness of the products. The cleanliness of the place and the organization of the service were also particularly appreciable, fast and punctual despite the discrete influx of customers. I highly recommend the Area 51 Lounge Bar to anyone who is in the area and wants to have a tasty breakfast in a pleasant and well-managed environment. A true local excellence.

01/05/2025: Welcoming and very knowledgeable staff!

17/02/2025: .... it's always good, in fact excellent, to come back to those parts... the "da zino" restaurant is one of my oldest memories (my father used to take me to eat pizza)... But every time I return to this place it's always better (from the pizzeria to the restaurant)... A very warm welcome, truly beautiful friendliness and efficiency!!

02/02/2025: Beautiful place. Very high education. The service was friendly and very polite. The quality of the dishes is exceptional especially for the place and how they serve it. I highly recommend it for birthdays and various parties

27/05/2025: ATTENTION! I AM ADDRESSING THOSE WHO HAVE ALREADY BOOKED BANQUETS!! I RECOMMEND IMMEDIATE CANCELLATION!! I'm giving it 1 star because I couldn't give it less.... Ex Casal Rosato now Burgerman, they passed themselves off as a reception hall. I had booked for my daughter's communion in early April, choosing the menu and everything. I arrived on the day of the event and was told that they had changed management...and this already annoyed me a lot because I hadn't been informed of anything. And the most absurd thing is that the business itself had even changed! They tried to cook what I had chosen, but in reality they cook hamburgers and sandwiches! Everything was inedible...from the appetizer to the main course... And I paid dearly! I definitely don't recommend it! They made a big mistake right from the start...and continued, trying to improvise and even making themselves pay! No comment! I would give less than zero! Highly discouraged! With what I paid I would have eaten much better elsewhere!

29/03/2025: Unwelcoming environment, pizzas that do not reach the sufficiency

30/06/2025: Very good food, the slice of meat would have been better without vinegar, but otherwise everything was very good. The only thing is that when I asked for the bill they initially told me it was €28, but when I asked to pay with the POS, after 20 minutes of fiddling and saying they were having difficulty etc they made me pay with the POS but €33 instead of €28 😂😂 then okay we didn't say anything because we wanted to give them those €5, but next time we'll go to the one next door who seem very kind

22/06/2025: Excellent. Try it. I take all my foreign friends there. They are always satisfied and happy

15/06/2025: Wonderful sensory experience. In front of the sea and the monumentality of Aci Castello, there is an essential place of excellent flavors. Also excellent are the desserts of Signora Piera. And I, who am a tour guide, know what I'm talking about... ;)))

13/06/2025: We ate here tonight, spaghetti with clams, delicious, swordfish as a second course, equally good and the dessert, tiramisu, was no less. We will return

01/07/2025: Nice service, good food and a real Italian experience 👍🏼

25/06/2025: A beautiful terrace overlooking the sea, excellent pizza, family atmosphere. I absolutely recommend it
