I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in Catania

03/08/2026: Generous dishes and quality meat at good prices. Fast service. I recommend it.

26/07/2026: Excellent quality dishes, a simple yet quaint location, and fast service. Having eaten meat, it was a shame not to find a sparkling red wine. I recommend parking in Piazza Paolo Borsellino, where there's a large paid parking lot. I'll definitely be back.

01/05/2026: Very delicious and huge arancini

02/09/2025: Very good restaurant. A woman approached us to come to her restaurant. It was very, very good. A good restaurant. A woman told us if we wanted to go in. It was very, very good.

05/06/2025: Ho pranzato due domeniche fa in questo buon ristorante situato nel centro della città, dietro la Via Etnea. Sono rimasto molto soddisfatto dalla qualità del cibo proposto e dal servizio veloce e cortese (dal momento che purtroppo avevo l'aereo a breve). Ho preso maccheroni alla norma, cotoletta e torta al limone. Il ristorante ha una ricca carta di pietanze sia di carne che di pesce. Mi sento di consigliarlo a chi viene in città, considerando che non è facile trovare nella zona ristoranti altrettanto buoni. Spero io stesso di tornarci presto.

09/08/2026: Welcoming place, attentive staff, good food and large granitas and brioches, they offer several attractive promotions during the week such as the aperispritz

09/08/2026: The place is always packed at any time...the food is more than good, as are the desserts, etc. The management of the lines at the cash register and counters needs to be reviewed...it can be improved.

05/06/2026: The food is okay but the staff is TERRIBLE!

15/05/2026: My favorite place after workouts. Super good healthy food! The welcome and atmosphere are top notch. Highly recommended!

22/11/2025: There were three of us on a Saturday night, and unfortunately our experience was terrible. The restaurant was very noisy, caused by several loud groups talking, making the atmosphere unpleasant, and the disorganization immediately became apparent. The service was truly disappointing. The girl who served us didn't know the availability of the ingredients and had to go back to the kitchen for information if we had any questions. Ordering was complicated, and despite arriving well before other customers, our pizzas arrived last, after an unjustified long wait. The pizzas didn't improve the situation: one had been requested with double the sauce, but it arrived dry, and the tomato sauce generally had an unpleasant, acidic flavor. When we asked for oil, we were brought containers full of VINEGAR twice in a row, without even an apology for the mistake, which could have completely ruined a pizza. In short: confusing service, unprofessionalism, interminable waits, and below-average food quality. A decidedly negative experience, which I do not recommend.

18/10/2025: Simply the best takeaway pizza I've ever eaten, not only plentiful (I've never been full in my life with a single pizza and I left a "slice" of this one) but with quality ingredients, well cooked and well seasoned, highly recommended.

06/06/2026: I'm giving one star because I can't give zero. We arrived at 9:30 and the pizzas arrived at 11:20 PM. 2 hours of waiting. Do not eat here because the wait is really long. We called the waiter several times to ask for information, and the answer was always "they're preparing" when that wasn't the case. Initially, they told us it would take half an hour, but that wasn't the case. We ordered a pizza without chili pepper, but they added it anyway. Pay attention to these details, which are very important and can cause harm to people. I will never return to this restaurant.

25/04/2026: A warm welcome awaits you from Mamadina's owner, Tato Saranisi. The location is enviable, with a dining room and outdoor area commensurate with the restaurant's ambiance, and fast, attentive service.

20/02/2026: Terrible experience, wrong ravioli filling.

05/01/2026: The guys are as exceptional as the quality of their products. Well done, guys!

01/05/2026: Beautiful girls, great music, great vibes.

27/04/2026: A very run-down and poorly attended place. The staff is clearly struggling due to aggressive management. A receptacle of bad taste and vulgarity.

30/05/2026: Terrible service, endless waiting times, and operators who always tell you the same old story. Highly not recommended.

12/04/2026: I ordered pizzas and picked them up on my way home from work. I appreciated that they sent me the pizzas right away so I could eat them while they were still hot. I appreciated the owner's hospitality, and the pizza dough was really good. Recommended!

05/01/2026: I've always been a regular, but after the last experience, I've decided I won't be returning. We waited two hours for a pizza and two grilled dishes, which turned out to be unpresentable, as what we were served was far from their classic grilled dish (I'm attaching a before and after photo, the same dish from a year ago and three months ago). The store-bought burger tasted like cardboard, the pistachio didn't taste like pistachio, even though that was their specialty until a few years ago. It was delicious, and that's what we came for. The photo speaks for itself. In all this, after two hours of waiting, we saw dishes arriving for those who had arrived much later than us, simply because we were "waiting for the grilled dish," a ridiculous excuse because you can already tell from the dish how long it takes to prepare it. The bruschetta appetizer arrived with the main courses. Those who had pizza had to eat it cold because the grilled dishes arrived after another 20 minutes. The service was disorganized and the food quality was far from what it used to be. Not even a "sorry." You've lost 3 regulars. A real disappointment. Absolutely not recommended.

02/01/2026: I ordered sandwich number 9. The only good thing was the packaging, the bread was very hard, I'd say stale, there were no sauces as stated on the menu, and the mushrooms weren't the ones specified on the menu (they were pleurotus instead of cardoncelli). It also arrived 50 minutes late, but on the phone they initially told me it was 15 minutes late, and then they didn't even pick up the phone. I don't recommend it; they're not very serious and the food is of poor quality.

04/05/2026: A beautiful place to spend a carefree day...

07/04/2026: The sea view is absolutely enchanting, and the location is very unique and excellent. I visited on Easter Monday, and there was great music and dancing. I recommend parking your car in one of the various available parking lots before arriving at the lighthouse.

29/04/2026: Spaghetti with garlic, oil, and chili pepper, drowned in the pasta broth, tasteless. Price: €10.

31/12/2025: I wanted to try this place with some colleagues, but I've never made such a bad choice. Rice with tasteless minestrone soup; I had to add salt because it was bland! The surprise was the price: 6 euros! For a first course like this, and even much better, I would have paid 4 euros. The alternative was penne with ragù, but what kind of ragù was it, with only pieces of meat in it? Sorry, this cuisine isn't for you. Never again, I definitely don't recommend it!

02/08/2026: Terrible service! If you're planning on eating here, don't come because you'll only see your pizza from afar.

11/07/2026: A few weeks ago, we returned to this pizzeria after many years. We were disappointed to find that the service hadn't improved at all, and the pizza we loved so much wasn't as good as it used to be.

17/04/2026: First off, many reviews are inaccurate; there are actually three different restaurants in one location. This is a simple restaurant, presumably only for locals. We ended up here by mistake. My Italian friend rated everything highly. I only had pasta. They didn't have pizza on the day we were there, but we didn't want any anyway, which was a bit odd. The portions were more than generous. The prices are reasonable, and the food is family-run. My Italian partner enjoyed her meal.

23/03/2026: Very large venue suitable for parties, dancing, and music, very friendly staff, excellent pizza, very low prices.
