I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in Catania

30/06/2025: Anyone who knew this place during the historic Centamore management knows exactly what I'm talking about: it was a point of reference for good food, hospitality and an authentic atmosphere. Today, unfortunately, absolutely nothing of all this remains. The new management has completely overturned the identity of the place and not for the better. Once upon a time, you came here with the certainty of finding quality, kindness, professionalism. Today you leave only with the feeling of having wasted time and money. The service is approximate, often improvised, with staff who seem more annoyed than happy to welcome you. The courtesy of the past has been replaced by arrogance and a total lack of organization. In recent times, the situation has worsened further: the place has transformed without warning into a sandwich shop, completely erasing any connection with real catering. But the even more serious thing is that they didn't even deign to inform those who had booked for events, banquets or ceremonies. Customers left disoriented, without respect, without a phone call, without anything. As for the food… better not get your hopes up. What is served today has nothing to do with the cuisine that once made this place special. Dishes without soul, without identity, without attention. It is an insult to the memory of what this place represented. Not even the most mediocre of establishments would have the courage to propose certain things. The problem is not only the decline in quality, but the attitude of those who now manage it: presumptuous, inattentive, incapable of listening. A place that was a symbol of hospitality has transformed into something empty, impersonal, and sadly forgettable. A word of advice? If you have good memories tied to this place, leave them where they are: don't ruin them by returning. The real Casalrosato no longer exists. And what is there now, frankly, does not even deserve the name.

25/06/2025: This place doesn't exist anymore. It is now occupied by different restaurant.

06/09/2025: Very good bakery, very friendly cashiers!!! Great experience!

31/07/2025: It's nice that the bakery opens at 6:00, but I was leaving Catania early in the morning and wanted to buy something for the road. Unfortunately, after 6:20, there was nothing fresh, and aside from leftovers, the place was generally empty, so I was very disappointed. The baked goods might be very good, but I didn't get to try them :(

16/09/2025: Historic bar and pastry shop. Where you can enjoy excellent granita.

30/08/2025: Congratulations... closing at 9pm, arrived at 7pm, everything closed... no comment

01/09/2025: Raw octopus, swordfish rolls with nonexistent swordfish, unspeakable mussels au gratin, delicious fried calamari, sardines a beccafico with the same filling as the mussels (they kept me company all afternoon). Excellent lemon mousse, beautiful location.

31/08/2025: Divine mussels with tomato sauce. Spaggeti alle vongole nice. Nice view, next to the sea. The lady at the reception could have been more polite when I asked her what time the restaurant closes.

20/10/2025: I absolutely love Good Natural Food! I discovered this gem on my second day in Catania, conveniently located next to my gym. The salads are delicious, made with fresh ingredients and generous portions that satisfy my big appetite. They also offer a fantastic selection of drinks; I particularly enjoy the coconut milk cappuccino and matcha. The cheesecake is simply delightful! The staff is incredibly friendly and polite, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The restaurant is clean and has a great vibe. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for healthy, delicious food!

27/09/2025: Worst service I have found in a while, the waitresses are extremely rude

24/08/2025: Friendly and helpful staff, very good pizzas

18/08/2025: I had an excellent meal at this hidden but beautiful restaurant. Besides the quality of the food, I was pleasantly surprised by the courtesy of the wait staff and the prompt, courteous service. Be aware that on Sundays the menu is fixed.

10/10/2025: Really everything was very good. We will return.

02/10/2025: Congratulations, everything is good.

28/09/2025: The owner was rude and unfriendly. Even though his place was empty, we decided to sit down (eight people). We drank a few beers, Cokes, and water, but perhaps because the bill wasn't too high for him, he decided to tell us that if we only had water to drink, we could go. I've never heard anything like it. Never again.

15/09/2025: Extremely rude owner, would not recommend to anyone!!

08/09/2025: The grilled fish and rice salad are excellent. Many gluten-free options are available.

06/08/2025: You have to go there to eat well!

14/09/2025: So we can say that the restaurant is very nice but I advise you to listen to the customers because they don't make you pasta if it's for one person

24/08/2025: Rustic atmosphere, really well done. Menu from €18 for adults + €10 for children (same as the large menu). Pizza selection + appetizers + drinks + wine + sodas, water + coffee + Zubibbu wine. All good food. Acceptable wait times. Music and karaoke (fortunately far away). I've seen many negative reviews on some sites, which honestly don't reflect reality. Service (not all), but some were rude, but that can be overlooked. Perhaps due to a lack of dough or a faulty oven, pasta dishes were served instead of pizzas (only a few pizzas arrived, so not a true Firo Pizza). Would I go again? YES. Because it's a worthwhile place.

22/10/2025: Excellent fresh fish, not processed but classic cuisine. True Sicilian flavors. Served as if we were family. Unbeatable price. Compliments to the manager. Highly recommended to people looking for quality but not luxury, it's not at home here.

18/10/2025: €90 for three people wasted. Three mixed appetizers cost €18 per person, completely overpriced, and three first courses each barely contained 100 grams of plain pasta with a little sauce on top. When I asked, "Look, the pasta is so small, completely unrelated to the sauce, and practically full of water," the response I received was, "We're family-run, and the chef isn't good at tossing pasta, and I admit the portions are very small... but my customers like it that way." The €15 price (listed on the menu) for each first course magically dropped to €13 after my speech (still a lot for barely 100 grams of plain pasta). Avoid going there; maybe they'll teach the chef how to toss the pasta and add a few extra strands. It's a meal to forget.

29/08/2025: First of all, it's unthinkable that a restaurant in the center of Catania closes its kitchen at 11:30 PM in the height of tourist season, but we can ignore it since this is the restaurant's choice. However, it remains absurd that we sat down at this place clearly marked as a "pizzeria," and after ordering pizzas, we discovered they were frozen and, to boot, of poor quality. Needless to say, except for the first slice, all the pizzas remained on the plate, and in disgust, we paid the bill and left. A truly terrifying experience.

20/06/2025: Nice place to have a coffee, something sweet or a proper meal. Their pizza was delicious especially the Diavola. The prices are also good.

02/10/2025: Great place to enjoy pizza... but my favorite is the SPECIALE...

17/09/2025: ONLY PIZZA It's not Neapolitan pizza style. They're very friendly. Reasonable price. They even have lactose-free mozzarella!

28/06/2025: Super welcome and unbeatable lemon granita..... And not only that!!!!

25/05/2025: Good aperitif!!! Excellent pastry!!!

05/10/2025: We were invited to a birthday party and were unpleasantly surprised by the lack of care and decoration of the outdoor areas. The indoor dining room, on the other hand, is dark and not air-conditioned (or decorated). The food was inedible: fried panelle from the Stra discount store, I think, hard sandwiches, everything inedible (and indigestible). Water (Ruscella) was poured by the waiters (two improvised people, I think) when they were in the mood, and Coke was nonexistent. I don't know how much you pay for such a service, but I definitely won't be back if they invite me back.

30/09/2025: Excellent food and friendly staff. If I could offer a small suggestion, the inside dining room could use a little more light. Otherwise, I highly recommend it!
