I migliori ristoranti di cucina mediterranea in Catania

27/02/2025: A real culinary experience The food at Catania Ruffiana was excellent - authentic Sicilian cuisine prepared with fresh ingredients and a lot of love. The service was attentive and friendly, and the atmosphere was cozy. I particularly enjoyed the pasta and seafood. I can only warmly recommend this restaurant and look forward to my next visit. Saluti Giulia & Pasquale 😎👌🏽

25/02/2025: We are from Los Angeles, USA, and came to Catania, Sicily with a tour group. Our tour guide recommended us to go to this restaurant for dinner. We ordered two appetizers and wanted to order two entrees but were told one entree would be enough. This restaurant looks okay from the outside but the interior is very warm and fresh. The biggest highlight is that their dishes are delicious, reasonably priced and their service is friendly. It made our trip to Sicily even more wonderful memories.

02/03/2025: Excellent, especially the meat is truly excellent. Small place, but very elegant. Impeccable service

22/02/2025: The restaurant is simply great, from starters down to the coffee. The horse dishes are highly recommended, and the Negroni was simply great! The waiters are very friendly and attentive

23/03/2025: Really friendly staff who tries to make you enjoy the dinner. The buffet antipasti was perfect to try a variety of local foods. The fried calamar was delicious and the pasta a la Norma nicely served. We also ordered a chicken breast but it was too much. Portions are pretty big. Many thanks. We had a great time.✨

18/03/2025: I am so happy about finding this restaurant. They made some of the tastiest dishes I’ve ever eaten, and that at a very reasonable price! The service was very quick and nice, they even spoke a little bit of English (the necessities) so we could understand each other despite our rough Italian. The menu doesn‘t really offer options for vegetarians/vegans, so if you don‘t eat animals (or their products), this isn‘t the right place for you. The restaurant is located not far away from touristic hot spots, but still far enough to preserve Sicilian charm. I also really liked that the workers and the guests all seemed to know each other, it felt very homely and safe. There are three tables outdoors, but they are essentially placed on the street. I didn‘t mind much, because there was a protection so you didn‘t feel any wind from the cars, and the owners placed plants for further separation. The prices were very very reasonable, almost a bit low (for me as a tourist). I cannot describe in words how good the food was. I tried two main dishes with seafood. The wine was nothing special but cheap and complimentary. Overall a really really good experience and one of the best memories from my vacation. Thank you!!

09/03/2025: Charming restaurant in the province of Catania, in the town of Randazzo there is this reality of flavors resulting from ancient traditions masterfully combined with the gastronomic innovations of our times which makes good food a very special experience. Already the presence of the dining room gives a foretaste of the excellent delicacies with a verbal and mimic exposition that describes to the mind the dishes that can be ordered. I won't take away the pleasure of listening to this gastronaut with his kind and elegant manners who will explain every step of the individual dishes in great detail. But know one thing when he describes the succulent dishes, don't get distracted..... When he says for example sausage cut on the tip of a knife, experienced firsthand it is truly like this, the difference is in the taste that you can separate the flavor of the meat from the flavor of the lard from the fennel flavour, you realize this in the fact that the meat is not a shapeless mush but a sequence of well-seasoned pieces that leave a unique impression on the taster's palate. The shank boiled with wild vegetables is cooked with the parsimony and slowness of the boiling of the past without gustatory gulps in its seasoning. Then the final touch for our group was the kissing of our ladies' hands which made us take a space-time leap to times when gallantry was among the most prestigious families of the time. Thank you for giving us this excellent gastronomic experience which we will absolutely repeat with other dear diners

02/03/2025: Delicious food with lots of vegetarian options. Local products and recipes. It was a beautiful discovery in Randazzo. Thanks to its owners, they were very kind!

A place where charm and luxury combine with professionalism and passion to guarantee guests an unforgettable experience. Chef Giuseppe Bonaccorso's dishes recall the Sicilian tradition and are proposed with creativity and combinations of flavors capable of satisfying even the most demanding palates.

Nothing to envy of the starred ones!

30/12/2024: The prices do not correspond to the quality and portion size. Waiting time 1.5 hours, on a working day, not during rush hours. The fried seafood was very over salted, some of the shrimps were stale. The only plus was the friendly service.

26/12/2024: Great little local restaurant - excellent food and incredibly friendly service.
