I migliori ristoranti di cucina mediterranea in Catania

02/04/2026: Excellent food and a warm welcome from the owner. Recommended.

01/04/2026: There's no menu, or at least there wasn't one during our visit; they offered us three set menus. We chose the one with a first course, which includes an antipasti (very tasty and varied), a pasta dish, and dessert.

16/03/2026: Excellent place, classic Italian food without the scams or posh nonsense of the places in the city center

15/03/2026: Excellent cuisine, excellent wine!

26/02/2026: I'm extremely disappointed and annoyed by my experience at (Rinuccio). I arrived with my wife, including our two dogs, and asked if we could sit at an outdoor table, where there was no one else. The answer was a firm, "No, we don't accept pets." (I think it was a chef.) I wonder, what difference does it make if the table is outdoors? Our dogs are well-behaved and wouldn't have bothered anyone. In fact, it would have been a pleasure to have them by our side. The "we don't accept pets" excuse became increasingly ridiculous when we asked if there was an outdoor area where we could sit, and the answer was, "No, we don't have an outdoor area for dogs." But if the table is outdoors, isn't it already an outdoor area? My wife and I have decided to go elsewhere and will never return to this restaurant. If they can't accept a well-behaved dog, then they can't claim to be a welcoming and friendly restaurant. *Tip:* Don't go to this restaurant if you like to travel with your pets.

22/02/2026: Stunning location overlooking the Etna forests. Mount Etna in the background adds an extra touch. The staff is kind, friendly, and knowledgeable. Honorable mention for the quality of the food, especially the croquettes, the trofie with pistachio pesto, and the apple cake with orange oil. Highly recommended!

12/04/2026: A journey of taste immersed in excellence. An enchanting and delightful experience of colors and flavors. An elegant and welcoming location. Knowledgeable, friendly, and attentive staff.

11/04/2026: Food amazing, staff accommodating, great for gluten free options

05/03/2026: Good restaurant in the city center, good portions and fresh ingredients. The staff is great and they speak both Italian and English. Fair prices too.

01/03/2026: A Sunday lunch with friends, nostalgic for Sunday meatballs in tomato sauce and the bruschetta of the day (trust the chef), all topped off with an exquisite limoncello. Highly recommended, and I'll be back to try the "acqua u linzolu" pasta and the grilled octopus.

12/04/2026: Been there 5 times over 2 years, excellent!

09/04/2026: Amazing food! You can't miss this place!

04/04/2026: I highly recommend this place, offering classic and modern cuisine. I also recommend it for those with small children, as they also have a changing table.

04/04/2026: A good place with excellent value. We had scialatielli allo scoglio and linguine with clams, both excellent. The main courses were good. The restaurant is slightly out of the city center, but I would recommend it.

11/03/2026: The restaurant was more than nice. I didn't like the sauce on my bruschetta with porcini mushrooms, so they replaced them, but I'd forgotten I'd ordered tagliatelle with porcini, and it was the same sauce, so... I didn't like that either. How embarrassing! And they changed that one too. I don't know of a restaurant that would have done that... Absolutely fantastic!

07/03/2026: Completely satisfied! We stumbled upon Trattoria La Piattino by chance. But it was a pleasant surprise. 10 overall: Food, hospitality, wide selection, tasteful decor! The owner and waiter were very kind, and the food was delicious. It will be our regular stop every time we come to Zafferana! ❤️

05/04/2026: Excellent food, friendly and extremely helpful staff. We were a group of eleven with various dietary needs, and they readily accommodated our needs, even on Easter Sunday. We'll definitely be back.

03/04/2026: Welcoming, truly excellent traditional dishes, The Fork discount applied, to return to try other delicacies!

11/03/2026: Wow, this is the most delicious pizza, fresh products, the base is super. Real Italian pizza. I recommend it

11/03/2026: After a long time, I'd been craving pizza after Tuesday's game. A friend took me there. The atmosphere was welcoming, the owner seemed very friendly and knew his job. The pizza was thin and crispy, just the way I like it, and it was truly excellent. I'll definitely be back.

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.

23/03/2026: I had researched where to have my first lunch in Catania. Lovely swordfish and shrimp pasta washed down with half bottle of white wine. They gave me a free chocolate brownie pud after. Such hospitality. Busy and fresh seafood. Off the beaten track. Highly recommend

21/03/2026: The taste was delicious, it was excellent service, and great people

13/03/2026: Recommended restaurant. Four of us had dinner, ordering a couple of appetizers (rustico and octopus, both excellent) followed by pasta alla norma. The fresh pasta is excellent, and the quality of the ingredients is generally very high. Prices are reasonable. The service is very pleasant. Definitely worth a try.

12/03/2026: If you're passing through Catania and want an authentic Sicilian cuisine experience, you can't miss Trattoria U Fucularu. 🍝🔥 Here, you can experience the true atmosphere of old-fashioned trattorias: a welcoming atmosphere, intense aromas wafting from the kitchen, and a hospitality that makes you feel instantly at home. The dishes are simply spectacular: fresh ingredients, authentic flavors, and traditional recipes prepared with great care. From rich and flavorful pasta dishes to perfectly cooked meat and fish main courses, each course reflects the true soul of Catania cuisine. The staff is friendly, attentive, and always ready to recommend the daily specials, while the quality-price ratio is truly excellent. One of those trattorias you'll want to return to... and where, after the first visit, you already know you'll be back. Highly recommended

20/02/2026: Very well maintained, impeccable cleanliness, excellent food and courteous staff

06/02/2026: Stunning location Excellent restaurant

08/12/2025: It was our first time and we loved it. The staff were very kind and welcoming. The owner told us their story, passed down from grandfather to father and now sons. We ate two platters, and had a bit of a wait for the second one. Two excellent carbonaras. The dishes were beautifully presented.

23/11/2025: an incredible sensory experience
