I migliori ristoranti di cucina mediterranea in Catania

06/11/2025: A typical Sicilian restaurant, the food is excellent, everything is homemade, and the waitress is incredibly kind. 100% recommended.

06/11/2025: A delightful older gentleman who, with just as much heart, cooks and talks about typical regional products. It's worth booking in advance, as everything is cooked exclusively for a given meal, and otherwise you might miss out.

18/10/2025: Excellent food with top-quality products, impeccable service and hospitality, all in no way inferior to a Michelin-starred restaurant.... The quality/price ratio is more than excellent. I highly recommend it.

03/10/2025: From the appetizer to the coffee, everything was exquisite. The attention paid to the composition of each dish and the raw materials used was excellent, as was the attention paid to the customer.

17/11/2025: A great place to eat grilled meat or fish, as they put the bar out on the sidewalk and do a good part of their grilling there!! Sicily...

13/11/2025: One of Teneta of the best restaurant o hole Sycylia ! Best fresh food and best of the best people work in this place !!! Delicious food and good personality! Best wishes and see you tomorrow 💪🏻♥️👏

11/10/2025: I've been coming to Catania for work for five years, and Taverna del Grande Albero is a regular stop. First of all, I find quality and courtesy here, but above all, I feel like I'm at home. The owners have become like family to me. I GO TO FILIPPO'S, I say every time!!!! Always friendly, always hospitable, they never fail to chat with the customers, and I highly recommend it!! I've attached photos so you can fully understand my satisfaction. I'm sorry I didn't take a picture of the spectacular seafood appetizer!

11/10/2025: We had a wonderful time, the food was excellent, the venue was elegant, and the staff was friendly. Highly recommended. A special greeting to the owner. Piedmont Holiday Group.

30/10/2025: A nice restaurant offering a variety of dishes and good pizzas. Efficient and friendly service, even when it's very busy. We were happy to have eaten there three times during our stay at the hotel next door.

22/09/2025: As always, we were greeted warmly by the attentive staff and then the food was AMAZING. Thank you.

30/10/2025: Excellent food, refined and never banal. The portions are generous and the fish is incredibly fresh. The fish appetizers are delicious, and the fried fish is delicious! The citrus-flavored fillet is a MUST-TRY. A true delight for the palate! The staff is friendly and helpful. We chatted a bit after the service, and I must say that, in addition to being professional, they are also very friendly. Highly recommended!

27/10/2025: A very nice, quiet, and characteristic place, ideal for eating well and spending a relaxing evening. The owners are pearls of people, very down-to-earth, friendly, welcoming, and very knowledgeable. The place offers mostly fish-based dishes of excellent quality, which are served and prepared excellently, from appetizers to main courses! The selection of wines to pair with the dishes is also excellent, and if you don't know much about them, let their sommelier advise you, he won't disappoint! They serve the same menu also in a gluten-free version, including dessert, which by the way is not to be missed. It's basically a homemade chocolate cake with a little pistachio powder that is something indescribable. I assure you that even if you are full at the end of the meal, it will be impossible to resist it!! To return and return. Thank you very much, it is always a pleasure to come and eat at your place.

02/10/2025: Amazing food. We got the horse rib and the pasta alla Norma. Both were great. It is a little pricey but you can get a discount with the fork app. Nice service.

30/09/2025: It was one of the best food I have had in catania, good service. Nice people. Restaurant is high end but the location doesn't match it's quality. Overall I would give it a try!

04/11/2025: Delicious in name and in nature. Located in the center of Catania, this restaurant offers both indoor and outdoor seating. The decor outside is very charming, neat, and clean. The service is always very attentive and fast, even when it comes to the wine selection. The menu is quite varied, ranging from 80% fish to 20% meat, although the latter is still a good choice, especially considering the off-menu options. The fish is fresh and well-cooked, with excellent pairings. The bill is also good! Recommended.

27/10/2025: Everything was excellent. Traditional dishes, friendly staff! Eating well in a historic square is a wonderful experience.

17/11/2025: We found a table that Saturday, calling half an hour in advance. The pizzas were very good and delicious, and the atmosphere was clean and relaxing. The wine selection was good. The salted caramel and chocolate dessert was spectacular. The prices were reasonable for a downtown restaurant.

11/11/2025: Very tasty pizza, friendly service - I will definitely come back here!

29/10/2025: A very atmospheric little restaurant near the market. The service is exceptionally friendly and the food is delicious. I recommend the panini with potatoes and caramelized onions, among other things—it might not sound like much, but it's delicious.

24/10/2025: Delicious tapas platter beautifully served

07/11/2025: I celebrated my 18th birthday at Villa Mirador, and I'd like to share my experience. I chose Sala Roberta for my special day, a room that was impeccable to say the least. The decor, by Orazio Patanè, was also impeccable, and the dishes were perfect and delicious. Special mention goes to one of the owners, Mr. Michele was very helpful throughout the entire preparations, yet the evening was almost completely ruined by terrible entertainment. In fact, the evening could have easily ended at 11:00 if it hadn't been for me, who had planned everything down to the smallest detail. There wasn't even time to clear one dish before another arrived immediately afterward. When I asked both the maître d' and the entertainment staff to slow down, they completely ignored me. In fact, dinner started at 9:40 and ended at 11:00 (a dinner consisting of a buffet, appetizer, two first courses, and one second course). By 11:00, we had already reached or was close to the cake. I would like to point out that even before the birthday party began, I had told the entertainment staff and a gentleman in the dining room that I didn't want the birthday party to go by quickly, yet my request was not granted. I'd like to focus on the entertainment, which, as far as I'm concerned, is a total waste of money. In fact, the first complaint came as soon as I entered the room. A dear friend of mine gave the USB stick with the video to the DJ and the entertainer, and they immediately started systematically complaining about the length of the latter (25 minutes). Subsequently, the discontent continued. In fact, when I asked to slow down, they replied, "Oh, we can't stay here all night," at 10:30. Furthermore, the entertainer wasn't at all involved. I asked for dances from groups of their choice, and the entertainer didn't even bother to show us the dances, assuming we knew them. I don't think this is professional entertainment, or at least at no other 18th birthday party I've been to has it ever been done as ineffectively as at mine. I believe that customers deserve better treatment, since these are all events that I, like all of us, have been waiting for for years or months and the fact that the latter should be ruined by unprofessional people is certainly not ideal, in fact, for the whole evening I felt as if they wanted to send me away, I am sorry to write this review because, as already said, Mr. Michele, the room, the chef etc. were excellent and impeccable in everything, I hope that they can soon improve this aspect as all the others are taken care of down to the smallest details.

07/11/2025: Beautiful location and very kind waiters too ❤️

20/11/2025: I sat down in this lovely place, with that homey feel that encouraged me to sit down. I had a GREAT time, with competent, knowledgeable service, attentive to my needs and those of the other diners. The house wine was excellent, the quality of the products was excellent (and those in the know notice 👁), and the waiters and kitchen were excellent. Some street artists even played live, making what was already a welcoming place a magical place. Truly, congratulations. Benny

16/11/2025: Very warm welcome in excellent French, welcome bruschetta, hearty, delicious and piping hot pasta, very good local wine, impeccable service, succulent homemade dessert (cannolo), small glass of Passito to finish and very reasonable price.

10/11/2025: A positive experience, both for the kindness and friendliness of the staff and for the dishes: we had fresh fish, snapper, cooked in "acqua pazza" (crazy water), roasted vegetable sides, and a cutlet with chips, wine, and water. The house desserts were amazing, especially the one with ricotta, pistachio, and limoncello, Trinacria! I highly recommend it.

07/11/2025: Near the beach under the lighthouse. Good fish.

12/11/2025: While cycling, I stopped here and ate one of the best salads I've ever had, the ISOLA salad. I really enjoyed it.

11/11/2025: A great spot with a view of the square, sea, and castle. A few tables. Delicious pizza. A family atmosphere. Highly recommended.

30/10/2025: One of the best restaurants in the area. Whether seafood or pizza, everything is expertly prepared and tastefully served. The staff anticipates your every need. Good, clear menu and a comprehensive wine list.

14/10/2025: Wonderful place. Surprisingly good service. Uniquely delicious food, fair prices. Highly recommended.
