I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in Catania

14/07/2025: Una cena abbastanza buono, antipasto assortito e un primo abbastanza condito m.. bel complesso lo consiglierei se non hai altissime pretese

13/07/2025: 45€ per cosa, esattamente? Un menù fisso che sa di fregatura. Sono stato a La Bettola dei Marinai con la speranza di gustare un buon pranzo vista mare, ma sono uscito con la sensazione di essere stato truffato. Il famigerato “menù fisso” da 45€ a persona è una trovata ben confezionata per attirare clienti e svuotar loro il portafoglio senza offrire nulla di realmente all’altezza del prezzo. Nessuna trasparenza su cosa includa esattamente il menù, nessuna possibilità di scelta, e soprattutto un'esperienza che non vale nemmeno la metà di quanto pagato. Alla fine il conto arriva senza sorprese… ma con tanto amaro in bocca: 135€ in tre per qualcosa che altrove sarebbe stato classificato come “menù turistico” da massimo 20€. Un’operazione ben studiata per sembrare autentica, ma che puzza di marketing ingannevole lontano un miglio. Non tornerò, e consiglio a chiunque di informarsi bene prima di sedersi. Unico aspetto positivo.. i ragazzi che lavorano li come camerieri

18/08/2025: The pizza is good, a little on the low side, but overall it's ok.

03/08/2025: The staff were very friendly and helpful. We felt at ease and spent a lovely evening in the cool of the woods.

23/08/2025: Excellent pizzeria with top-quality ingredients! Attentive and qualified staff, especially the friendly and helpful maître d' Carmelo. The restaurant is also top-notch.

22/08/2025: Very nice place especially in summer for those looking for a breath of fresh air, quite good food with average prices.

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.

12/05/2025: I bought some pastries this evening, the problem was that I found an intruder in the strawberry dessert. For the next few times, be more careful even if I never set foot again

18/06/2025: The first time I ordered home delivery, the owner asked me for the address and I told her but she asked me to repeat it a first, second, third time... I started to smile and she hung up on me, I called back and she told me she didn't want to be made fun of (but she wanted it repeated because in the meantime she was talking to other customers and that's certainly not polite). A second time I called for a home delivery on Saturday, it was 7pm and I asked for 8pm, can she even deliver at 7:45pm? Otherwise, nothing because I understand that on Saturdays there's a long wait, she said yes, yes of course. At 9pm, still nothing, I called and she made an excuse about the delivery guy who hadn't arrived, the pizza arrived at 10pm cold and without being notified. Third time, I called (she kept me on the phone for more than 5 minutes while she talked to other customers, that's their politeness) and I asked if I'd come to pick it up, she had 2 pizzas ready for me, yes, I'll make them right away (I waited 50 minutes). When they are ready I ask, while I take out the notes, how much do I pay and she says don't you pay with card? I answer no cash and she insists no with card and I no cash and she but I have no change, so I point out to her that in addition to being absurd she could have told me before instead of making me wait 50 minutes and her legendary answer is but now everyone pays with card, I tell her that then she has someone else pay with card because I don't take them. I must say that the pizzas are good even if a little small and the prices are average but education 0 and for that is the most important thing, reason why I will not return.

14/05/2025: One of the best pizzerias in the area tried so far, the pizzas are good and not heavy, the prices are average. The service was quite punctual even though it was a weekend.

25/03/2025: Ottima colazione.... Siamo tornate anche x il pranzo a base di arancini Tutto ottimo compresa la gentilezza del personale

22/03/2025: Wir bestellten an der Bar einen Saft, Capucino und Höhrnchen und mussten tatsächlich 2 Coperti (Zuschlag Gedeck) von 2 Euro bezahlen! So was habe ich noch niegends erlebt. Eine Touristenfalle!

13/07/2025: We ordered white wine and water – unfortunately, the wine came from a tetra pack and the water from plastic bottles. We paid €18 for that. The wine tasted strongly of vinegar – a real shame. We only had a sip and left it. Unfortunately, we can't comment on the food, as we didn't try any.

11/07/2025: The food is not bad, but the prices are too high (and the portions of some dishes are small).

25/07/2025: Nella mia ventennale esperienza riguardo la degustazione degli Aperol Spritz ho trovato quello fatto da loro il migliore per equilibrio e gusto. Molto buono anche il Cynar Spritz e le ottime focacce che hanno accompagnato il beverage. Consigliatissimo ed eccellente.

24/07/2025: Gran pequeño restaurante familiar. Deliciosa pizza y pasta. El personal amable es acogedor. No te pierdas este restaurante.

07/06/2025: Slow staff, horrible cutting boards and above all the portion not indicated correctly.

02/06/2025: Lascio questa recensione con l'amaro in bocca perché avevo un bel ricordo di questo pub negli anni passati. Sono andata a bere un drink insieme a mio marito e ci hanno fatto accomodare in sala, dove eravamo gli unici clienti. Ho notato subito il rettangolino di carta che ci hanno messo a mo' di tovaglia ma non pensavo ci avrebbero fatto pagare 3 euro di coperto per quello, anche perché avevamo solo preso 2 drink. Al momento di pagare, abbiamo chiesto EDUCATAMENTE per quale motivo stessimo pagando quei 3 euro di coperto quando non era stato offerto nessun servizio di allestimento del tavolo(=tovaglia, tovagliolo, posate, piatti, bicchieri). Se il proprietario ci avesse risposto altrettanto educamente spiegandoci magari che il coperto è obbligatorio e serve a coprire le spese del locale, del personale etc avremmo pagato senza battere ciglio. Invece il proprietario ci ha trattati come dei pezzenti invitandoci ad andarcene senza pagare e accusandoci di creare discussioni, alzando la voce e con un fare maleducato, interrompendoci più volte. Mi dispiace per il personale evidentemente in imbarazzo per la reazione esagerata del proprietario. Chiaramente abbiamo pagato i nostri drink come giusto che sia, ma avrei preferito lasciare quei 3 euro come mancia alla cameriera che è sempre stata gentile.

25/04/2025: Cous cous con il fritto misto dentro. Cubetto di pesce spada che sicuro non era pesce spada e in più surgelato crema di zucca con dentro la cipolla mai vista. Pizza con al posto della mozzarella chissà quale formaggio con pessimo odore e qualità. Pessimo tutto. In 15 non abbiamo mangiato nulla

09/03/2025: Splendida location sulla meravigliosa spiaggia di sabbia di San Vito lo Capo. Cibo ottimo e personale accogliente e preciso. Lo consiglio

26/07/2025: Ho visto sui social il locale e ho voluto provare Personale accogliente e gentile Prenotato appena arrivati ci accomodiamo subito, vasta scelta per mangiare dalla classica pizza a quella elaborate dal locale Unica peccato per me che essendo intollerante a latticini e io volevo mangiare quei meravigliosi hamburger mi è stato detto che dato che li fanno loro la fondina e nell impasto stesso...e ho preso panino con straccetti di pollo che era buonissimo con l aggiunta della cipolla caramellata Misto fritto sempre preparato da loro buonissimo La mia compagna ha optato per una pizza, buonissima Consiglio di andare a provare

24/07/2025: Non è la prima volta che vado da caffettiamo .Martedì era la serata delle siciliane tutte a 5 euro e non era la prima volta che andavo a mangiarle .Purtroppo per la seconda volta le ho volute riprovare ma erano anche questa volta vuote .Allora la pizza che fanno è buonissima come altri piatti ma le siciliane erano vuote ,volevo dire se quando abbassano il prezzo risparmiamo nei condimenti meglio che lascino sempre lo stesso prezzo perché così non è una buona pubblicità.Mi spiace ....

22/04/2025: Very kind staff. Generous quantities. Nice 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!

04/08/2025: 🌯 My kebab sanctuary in Catania: a love that's renewed with every bite 🌆 Every time my job takes me to Catania as a bus chaperone, I already know there will be a mandatory, essential, almost sacred stop: my trusted kebab shop. No matter how many hours of sleep I've lost, how much traffic I've endured, or how many screaming kids I've escorted to my destination—there's always, as punctual as a ritual, the certainty that I'll find refuge, comfort, and happiness in the expert hands of those who prepare the best kebab in all of Sicily. I could talk about the meat, of course—flavorful, juicy, never stringy, cooked to perfection, and bursting with aromas that make you want to lick your elbows. I could list the perfectly balanced sauces: the refreshing yogurt, the spicy sauce that brings tears to your eyes (but you can't stop eating anyway), the thick, velvety white sauce that binds each ingredient like a caress. I could describe the bread, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, holding everything together without crumbling, like a solid house built with love. I could, yes. But reducing everything to a question of ingredients would be unfair. Because this place is so much more than a kebab shop. It's an emotional stop, a gastronomic comfort zone, a treat on days of tiredness and urgency. Every time I arrive, even with a tired head and sore feet, I know I'll be greeted with a genuine smile, a well-timed joke, that simple and sincere kindness that can't be bought or taught. The people who work there don't just make kebabs: they create moments, build loyalty, and weave invisible connections made of warm sandwiches and kind words. It's rare to find a place where the quality of the food goes hand in hand with the humanity of those who serve it, but here, every time, it happens. And every time, I leave with a full belly and a lighter heart. Often, while I eat on a step or leaning against a lamppost waiting for the bus to leave, I look around and see other people like me: students, tourists, workers. All there, huddled together in the same sacred moment when time slows down and the kebab takes center stage. And every time I think: how wonderful it is to feel at home in a city that isn't my home. So, to you, my beloved kebab seller, thank you. Thank you for every carefully crafted sandwich, for every smile you gave me when the day seemed too long, for every "spicy or not?" that makes me feel cared for. Keep up the good work. You don't just make kebabs. You do good. And you do good for people.

02/08/2025: It was clean, fast, and delicious.

11/08/2025: Il ristorante era molto accogliente. I nostri primi erano molto buoni. I secondi anch'essi buoni. I dolci buonissimi, in particolare la crema al pistacchio.

06/08/2025: The location is unquestionably nice, Etna surroundings are amazing. The restaurant itself is nice and a kind of minimalist. Food is excellent and the local beers are very intriguing. Service is punctual and prices are more than acceptable.

14/08/2025: They didn't even take our order and then told us we had to wait an hour. The staff was rude to customers and lacked professionalism. I don't know about the food because they don't even know how to take reservations.

14/08/2025: Non-existent reservation, rude and unprofessional staff, poor food.
