I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in Catania

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.

16/10/2025: Excellent platters and focaccia! I recommend them for their excellent value.

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

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.

28/09/2025: I ended up in the hospital with food poisoning due to the unprofessional and unmotivated staff. There were only 10 customers in the place, the wait was incredibly long, the staff joked and laughed, ignoring the customers, and both managers on duty argued about what to eat while the customers waited. Food poisoning, cold and unsalted fries. Cold toast. Cold and raw double cheeseburger. I've never written a review, but for my own health, I can't tolerate the superficiality of people who neglect the importance of providing good food.

18/09/2025: Food was great, staff is very friendly and accepting, they let us camp out the night. Awesome place.

07/05/2025: Compartimos una ensalada mixta, pasta alle vongole y un plato de pescado a la parrilla. Todos estaban bien cocinados y sabrosos. Hacemos una mención especial a las sardinas a la parrilla que no estaban secas y a la pasta vongole. Buen y rápido servicio. Situado en medio de la lonja de pescado tiene todos los pros y contras de la ubicación.

27/04/2025: Situato in pieno centro nelle prossimità della pescheria. Cibo eccezionale di elevata qualità come anche i condimenti. Professionale il personale e soprattutto il proprietario.

20/07/2025: Bar closed when Maps says it's open, update the hours

10/07/2025: My experience at this bar was terrible. They're serving breakfast at a nearby tourist accommodation, and despite having informed me when I made the reservation and in the days prior that a gluten-free breakfast would be required, they didn't specify that it wouldn't be possible, nor did they give me anything at all to eat. At Bar Ambasciatori, they only offered me a coffee and a glass of water each of the three days we stayed. On one occasion, they even told me that if I wanted another coffee, I'd have to pay for it, but I didn't get anything to eat. I went hungry the first two days, and on the third, I brought food I bought at Lidl myself. The accommodation tried to talk to the bar, but the result was the same. I ended up paying double, for the supermarket shopping and for a nonexistent breakfast. A very bad experience with the bar and the waiter who served us the three days.

07/10/2025: Four days in Catania and three amazing breakfasts at Soave. The giant granita and the giant brioche were beyond compare. I returned to Milan with the memory and certainty that I'll definitely be back. Congratulations to Martin.

04/10/2025: Excellent quality...at fair prices and in large quantities

30/09/2025: ...the family-run bakery, and I must say they're all great people who put a lot of effort into making cakes and birthday cakes! Huge selection of pastries and desserts, always super fresh! Top-notch ice cream!

11/06/2025: Mr. Messina, for the first time last day I had pasta and a main course. Excellent, I recommend it to everyone. I would have given 10 for everything.

22/04/2025: Very friendly staff. Generous portions. Lovely place.

18/04/2025: We arrived at this bar, a terrible cold and empty diner, a very bad reception and owner with a good deal of rudeness towards customers. Experience not to be repeated. €2.20 cents per piece of inedible wood!

27/09/2025: We're having dinner at the restaurant. The menu says spaghetti carbonara. Okay, I'll order it. I ask several times if they make it a little bigger, and the waitress says okay. The plate arrives, along with a small baking dish, while I complain that the carbonara arrives cold. I'll let you imagine. Then, when I get home, I see the receipt. I see it written down. €26.00. I phone. At the restaurant. They tell me their policy is so big and it means two portions, and I'm in the business. I'm ashamed that I belong to this category. Restaurants used to exist today. No longer just a pursuit of the god of money.

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

05/10/2025: Friendly staff who feel like they've known you forever. The place is clean, but stylistically, it's overflowing with stucco, fake plants, and tasteless plastic-covered walls. The four well-cooked pizzas, far too thin, decently portioned, but expensive compared to market prices and the type of product. The 1-liter bottles of water are three euros each, an exorbitant price, and then there's the service charge, 2.50 per person... Considering the location, which is far from everywhere, and the quality/price ratio, I don't know if I'd go back... plus, families with rude and noisy children.

30/08/2025: What can I say? The place is nice, but if you stop and find it closed...

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 👍
