19/05/2025: Nice Restaurant with a very solid sicilian cuisine. Highly recommended!

12/06/2025: TAVERNA GRANDE ALBERO is a charming little spot in Catania—perfect for a relaxed lunch. The food was delicious, the drinks were spot on, and the service was warm and attentive. A true Sicilian gem ! Best place that we have eaten at in Sicily. Highly recommended.

11/06/2025: A good restaurant, with expertly prepared local dishes, the fantastic Sicilian cuisine is certainly well interpreted. Maybe they should work a little more on customer care, a smile, a joke with customers, it doesn't hurt. True that it is not on the menu but it really doesn't hurt.

30/06/2025: The place has a minimal and modern style, well organized, the food is of remarkable quality: perfect frying, the first courses are a delicacy, the staff is kind and prepared and in the end the bill surprised me positively. Well done, being able to give this quality at the right price does you credit.

29/06/2025: The food was tasty, however nobody spoke English, therefore we had several misunderstandings. Also, they taxed us 2 euro per a small tablecloth for each person, without telling us they would do so beforehand. I come across such a thing for the first time in my life and I find it outrageous.

12/06/2025: Nicht die beste Pizza die ich je gegessen habe, aber sehr gut! Toller Ausblick aufs Meer. Freundliches Personal, faire Preise :)

02/06/2025: Attenti ad ogni dettaglio e ad ogni richiesta, soprattutto il cameriere attendo a tutto. Vista piazza mare e castello. Pizza leggera e gustosa e di qualità. Consigliato.

21/06/2025: Fantastic place. Excellent traditional food from Catania. Staff over the top.

20/06/2025: Great food, friendly staff, will definitely be back 😜

24/06/2025: Happy to have met Catania Ruffiana!!! I highly recommend it. The food is divine!! You will thank me. For refined palates!

28/05/2025: We spent an entire evening there, drinking, laughing and eating food that was so good, that it became our scale to compare other meals in Sicily to it :). The fish, the meats, the salads, the pasta, everything! The staff didn’t speak much English but our Italian was enough to communicate. But when it was too difficult to explain what a meal is, the waiter just told us to wait, went to the kitchen and came back a few minutes later with a plate of meats and other ingredients and showed us which is which, while being so nice and funny, that we wanted to try everything 😂. We did have to wait quite a bit for everything and they did forget a few things (brought them later when we asked) but they had a few big groups and were taking care of everyone so it was understandable. They also did it in such a nice and friendly way that we didn’t mind. Every group spent their entire evening there so it’s not just your typical touristy order-eat-leave in an hour. You go there to spend the evening and trust me, you won’t be disappointed. You will have a great time and eat one of the best meals in your life 👌

23/05/2025: Heerlijk eten en super vriendelijk personeel. Sfeervolle ambiance. Het eten is net wat anders als anders. Echt een aanrader!!

22/05/2025: El servicio fue excelente y se sentaron rápidamente en el día sin reserva. Sin embargo, nuestras pastas eran promedio. Aunque puede que hayamos elegido mal el día.

28/04/2025: Cozy and quality, excellent pizza. Advised.

24/04/2025: Excellent quality of food, tasty dishes, very welcoming, friendly and helpful staff

15/06/2025: Great place, pizzas made with fresh tomatoes and excellent mozzarella, reasonable prices. The only problem is that if you want to have dinner on Saturday, you have to book well in advance.

12/06/2025: My trusted restaurant/pizzeria for a long time now, they make really good pizza, top quality in every way! The owner Gianluca is an exquisite and capable person, together with all his staff they know how to take care of every customer making you feel at home. I highly recommend going to "La Spiga" you will not regret it!

16/06/2025: A top restaurant right across from our hotel. Many hotel guests go here for dinner, friendly honest cuisine and soft prices. A bottle of good wine 20 euros, pizza 12 euros and excellent fresh fish dishes

14/06/2025: A corner of authentic Sicily.. If you are looking for a restaurant that combines the taste of the sea with true Sicilian tradition, Blue Ice is a must. As soon as you sit down, you are immediately greeted by intense aromas and sincere smiles, those that only a cuisine made with love can convey. We started with two appetizers and followed by a second course of swordfish rolls, where each dish was characterized by the processing of the fish done with respect and imagination. All accompanied by an excellent white wine. A place that does not try to amaze with special effects, but conquers with quality, authenticity and passion. We will definitely return to try the pizza that from the appearance seemed very inviting. An added ingredient that should not be underestimated is certainly the competence of the staff, always friendly and attentive.

17/06/2025: Wonderful place for all unforgettable events

12/06/2025: Lovely place, great food, superlative service.

16/06/2025: Friendly and fast waitress. Excellent Etna pizza. Even the first courses. View of Etna villages. Very nice.

12/06/2025: Beautiful place...very good pizza,,,exceptional staff,,,,a large parking lot with a very friendly parking attendant....

14/06/2025: I give a negative review to a birthday banquet that took place today and was organized a long time before. Long waits for the aperitif in the garden, guests left for over thirty minutes without water or drinks under the scorching sun, umbrella closed and opened later and only at our request. Wait staff absent and, when present, inadequate for the place and context. Desserts taken out of the refrigerator and left outside long before the birthday cake came out, displayed following at least two/three requests. Exorbitant quality-price ratio in view of the dishes and the slow and poor service. Not to be returned.

14/06/2025: We had already been to this establishment for an important event and had retained excellent memories of it: impeccable service, quality food and great attention to organization. Precisely for this reason, despite an increase in costs, we decided to return for a family birthday. Unfortunately, the experience was disappointing in many ways. The aperitif arrived very late and the portions were visibly smaller than the previous time. We had to ask several times for the umbrellas to be opened, being completely exposed to the sun. The management of dietary needs was the most critical point: despite having reported the presence of two celiac people during the booking phase, the appetizer arrived only after request, and with dishes that were clearly different from the rest of the group, improvised. Only after having reported the problem to the staff, the situation improved slightly. In general, the level of service and the quality of the food were not up to what we expected, especially considering the overall cost of the event. Not to return, because we knew the potential of the structure and hoped to relive the same positive experience of the past.
