I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in Catania

22/08/2025: Total disappointment, from the service to the food.

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.

21/08/2025: Very nice, I had a lovely evening, very courteous staff

17/08/2025: From the outside, it's a disgraceful restaurant inside, wedding-style... prices sky-high... starter only vegetables, main course a very hot dish with four bones... we waited three hours for nothing... disgusting restaurant.

25/06/2025: the coffe was horrendous. cappuccino was like milk with hot water, no coffee taste. the paninis had poor quality fillings. was pretty pricey compared to other places we’ve been to. very bad experience!

18/06/2025: We arrived at the place late at lunch time, around 3 pm, despite this, the owner was super kind to let us sit and prepare us some excellent sandwiches on the spot, with fresh bread made on the spot in the wood oven. Thank you very much for your kindness

02/08/2025: Truly shameful. We arrive and with a few empty tables and no one waiting, they don't let us sit at a table for two under the umbrella, muttering meaningless excuses, simply because they had no idea how to organize. The girl who supposedly had this list, instead of accommodating us and seating us, just makes us leave without apology. The organization and staff need to be reassessed.

08/07/2025: As always, a clean and refined place. Excellent

07/04/2025: Bruschetta pizza two precise counted tomatoes chewy pizza

05/04/2025: Simply exceptional pizza! The ingredients are fresh and of high quality, the dough is light and well leavened, with perfect cooking. The service is fast and punctual, and the staff is always friendly and helpful. Excellent value for money. If you are looking for a trusted takeaway pizzeria, this is the right choice! Highly recommended!

28/03/2025: We confirm the excellent location at our table this morning! 😉 We really appreciated the abundance of jam filling on the croissant and the cream braid, as well as their deliciousness. Excellent cappuccino and excellent service!

13/03/2025: But they don't realize that that sand-colored coffee is watered down. Do they ever adjust the grinding based on the time? A good coffee must be creamy brownish, where the sugar remains afloat in the cream of the same coffee... Maybe it's dosed incorrectly, they use less but the coffee I've had in this bar has always been rubbish, in addition to the watered down taste, it has a poisonous aftertaste. In a bar you also have to pay attention to the coffee and above all to the coffee you serve

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.

05/07/2025: Excellent pizza. Giuseppe, pizzaiolo owner, serious professional. Recommended pizzeria.

01/07/2025: Excellent service, friendly and always courteous staff. I recommend

22/08/2025: A few meters further on, after a bad experience with an arrogant establishment, we discovered this restaurant, which was a real revelation. From the outside, it might seem almost anonymous or go unnoticed, but as soon as you sit down, you understand that substance trumps appearance. The cuisine is one of those that speaks for itself: authentic dishes, the freshest ingredients, and a kitchen staff that exudes passion. You can tell that those working in the kitchen not only know how to cook, but love it. The service was friendly and professional, with the right attention to detail. And then, something rare, a more than fair bill: a low price compared to what we were offered in terms of quality and experience. 👉 A place that absolutely deserves to be promoted and supported. I advise everyone not to stop at appearances: here you will find hospitality, quality, and a true soul. Well done, Carmelo.

13/08/2025: This is our third time here, and we've always had a great time. The location is truly delightful, the staff are friendly, the food is good, and the portions are generous. The fish is fresh and the seasoning is good. The menu is clearly displayed at the beginning, and the prices are clear. Good value. Attentive service. I recommend it. PS: The owner is friendly and truly nice...in fact, I'll take advantage of it... Greetings from my friends in Rome.

19/06/2025: Annoyed and inattentive staff, a shame because I liked the formula.

16/06/2025: Excellent, especially with the great heat the menu. Fresh and light things that fill you up without weighing you down. Recommended because in Catania it is difficult to find courtesy, quality and fair prices. Promoted

31/05/2025: I can only say that it is the best sweet shop ever. And there are no number of stars that can be enough. I have not tasted sweets and cream so good in a lifetime. Thank you for everything you prepare. You are the best.

11/05/2025: The products are acceptable while the friendliness of the sales assistants leaves something to be desired.

29/04/2025: Camminando per le vie del centro di Catania, siamo stati attirati dalla location intima e tranquilla di questo locale situato in uno scorcio pittoresco a due passi dal Duomo. Pranzo a base di pesce tipico catanese con materia prima di qualità e porzioni generose. Nota di apprezzamento per lo staff, cordiale, disponibile, allegro e scherzoso senza però risultare invadente. Decisamente consigliato!

27/04/2025: Auf Empfehlung unseres einheimischen Vermieters, Santo, einem sehr netten Herrn, gingen wir in das Giglio Rosso. Es sieht von außen unscheinbar aus und der Chef ist ein selbstbewusster jedoch auch herzlicher Sizilianer. Wir ließen uns dann inspirieren von der Karte und seinen Empfehlungen und bestellten für uns 5 diverse Vorspeisen, Primi Piatti, Secondi Piatti und Nachtische. Und wirklich alles, was auf unseren Tisch kam, war ein ganz außerordentlicher Genuss. Sardellen, Schwertfisch, Garnelen, Tintenfisch, Rinderfilet, Pasta und Dolce. Zum Abschluss ein hausgemachter Marsalla. Alles vorzüglich um nicht sogar zu sagen einzigartig. Bei diesem Essen beschlossen wir, dass es eine weitere Reise wert ist wiederzukommen. In der Nacht entfaltete die enge, dunkle und für Catania sehr typische Straße einen ganz besonderen Charme, wie man ihn nur hier erleben kann. Ein schönes Erlebnis, das wir gerne in unserer Erinnerung behalten. So geht Urlaub ☀️😄 Top-Empfehlung 👍

13/07/2025: Il ristorante propone piatti della tradizione ma rivisitati con un tocco di originalità. Vengono utilizzate materie prime del territorio, che al palato paiono di ottima qualità. Noi abbiamo ordinato le linguine cozze e peperoni (ottime), maccheroncini alla norma (buoni), bracioline e polpette di melanzane e menta (quest'ultime molto buone) e come dessert il cous cous (eccellente, anche come idea ed impiattamento). Il tutto preceduto da un entree con varie, piccole delizie. Servizio attento e cortese. Rapporto qualità/prezzo davvero notevole.

11/07/2025: Con o sin dueño…qué diferencia. Comida y servicio Hemos estado 2 días seguidos con mis padres y mis hijos y disfrutamos muchísimo de la primera cena de principio a fin: buenos consejos sobre el vino, calidad de la comida… Al día siguiente, el propietario no estaba allí. Tuvimos que esperar 1 h entre el entrante y el plato principal, el mismo bacalao que habíamos pedido el día anterior con mucho aceite y pocas verduras.
