I migliori ristoranti di cucina mediterranea in Catania

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

02/11/2025: A beautiful restaurant in the historic heart of Catania. Just turn off Via Etnea, walk a few dozen meters, and you'll find yourself in an authentic Sicilian restaurant, frequented primarily by locals. Fresh ingredients are a given. And if you're lucky, like we were, you'll even be able to listen to music by local musicians.

31/10/2025: We had a fantastic evening; the food was truly excellent and the service impeccable! I highly recommend it, especially for its location in the heart of Catania.

01/02/2026: "Delicious pizza! Crispy crust, perfect toppings, and nearly impeccable service. Fair price and top quality. I'll definitely be back!"

25/01/2026: A disappointing Saturday evening. Let's start by saying that finding an illegal parking attendant outside wasn't pleasant at all. The place is very welcoming, but the pizza left much to be desired: I had a "tonnata," or tuna and onion. The quality of the dough (very little leavened, making it heavy right away) and the ingredients (especially the tuna) were average to poor. Overall, a negative experience.

10/03/2026: Excellent pizza, welcoming atmosphere, fast service

06/03/2026: Like many other locations in the Catania hinterland, the food is good, but the quality/price ratio doesn't match the food. Portions are small, the appetizers are ridiculous, and there's not enough staff to serve the guests. There's only one waiter for a banquet of 25 people, and then, near the end, a second waiter arrives. All in all, it's incredibly expensive: around €55 each for a simple lunch consisting of an appetizer, two starters, a main course, drinks, house wine, and service. I definitely won't be returning.

14/03/2026: my undisputed favorite restaurant

14/03/2026: Excellent pasta in generous portions for under €10. A real bargain in terms of value for money.

19/02/2026: The worst pizza I ate in Sicily!

16/11/2025: The best pizza I've eaten in Sicily, I really recommend it!

16/03/2026: 3 mediocre appetizers, a first course soaked in oil, and 2 desserts for €120...you've gone overboard, and by a lot. You'll never see me again.

03/03/2026: Definitely the freshest fish, excellent cuisine, and very friendly staff. A wide selection of (expensive) wines, reasonable prices, but don't overdo the main courses (sorbet, coffee, liqueurs) that add to the bill.

17/03/2026: I had a wonderful dinner yesterday and felt very comfortable. The people were very warm and attentive, and the food was delicious. I highly recommend this restaurant!

09/03/2026: My experience at the Al Monterosso pizzeria and restaurant in Zafferana Etnea was positive. I ordered a pizza capricciosa, which impressed me with the quality of the ingredients and the impeccable cooking, fragrant and well-balanced. The space is spacious, with well-spaced tables that allow you to enjoy the evening in peace. The wait staff also deserves praise: friendly, attentive, and quick service. The only drawback is the parking, which isn't particularly convenient; you have to leave your car in the narrow side streets. Overall, however, an excellent choice for those who want to enjoy a good pizza, even with a group, in a welcoming setting.

19/03/2026: Fantastic pasta at the standard

18/03/2026: Excellent restaurant, very friendly and kind staff, you really feel at home. Greetings to Fabio from our friends in Turin. We will return to Catania and come to visit you.

21/02/2026: We took 3 sorts of pasta and they were all super delicious 😋🥰

02/02/2026: Excellent local food at a good price, I can only recommend it!

08/02/2026: Positive experience, the dishes carefully prepared by the chef... everything delicious, high quality... but I'm sorry to say, but the service is not up to par... first of all, the maître d', unprofessional in many ways, was on his cell phone while I wanted to ask a question as if nothing had happened, the dirty table was cleaned only at the end, the waiter who while we were still eating took care of clearing and clearing away... the service must be on par with the kitchen, otherwise everything falls apart. I repeat, the dishes were divinely good.

16/01/2026: Excellent service and sublime food.

01/12/2025: Very nice restaurant, with very good food which is presented in a beautiful manner and friendly staff.

25/09/2025: The food here was very creative and tasty. I had the "lasagna" which was layers of steak and vegetables with melted cheese on top and it was excellent. My wife had the gluten free pasta and that was also very good. One of the best meals we've had in our two weeks here in Sicily. Anil the waiter was very friendly and attentive. Unfortunately there was hardly anyone there when we were there and the interior was a bit basic.

02/03/2026: Here is a restaurant worthy of the name! We were welcomed as if it were personalized, a varied menu and the price justifies the quality of the products! I absolutely recommend it!

02/03/2026: Yesterday we went to Cerami for dinner. We're from Syracuse, and having fallen in love with Catania and the spirit of the people of Catania, we decided, despite our significant disabilities, to venture out... and evidently things don't happen by chance, because, amidst our uncertain steps, we found this lovely little place. I must say that, initially, I thought it would be very difficult due to the brightness inside, which, at first glance, seemed impossible for two eyes like mine to handle without causing me some trouble. As soon as we entered, we were immediately greeted by a staff member, a kind voice that led us to our brightly lit table. I don't know if they've ever worked with people with visual impairments, but I can assure you that he knew exactly how to handle the situation, making us feel welcome, accepted, and above all treated with respect, which is not a given. We often find the opposite extremes, either total indifference or over-attention, almost suffocating. However, this kind young man, along with his colleagues of course, were kind. What struck me was how he guided us through everything: he briefly described the table, where the glasses were, and the menu with the QR code; the same goes for the courses, although it's obvious, they told us where the plates were placed. Despite our visual impairment, we are very independent, but we're pleased when a restaurant welcomes us this way, not making us feel out of place, but above all welcoming, just as the people of Catania often do. We ate very well. The service was quick and orderly, allowing us to enjoy dinner without plates overlapping. The pizza dough is important, yet delicate, and the toppings were quite generous. We also ordered baked potatoes, which we didn't photograph: they were large, melt-in-the-mouth... Once dinner was finished, we were helped to the cashier to pay. A very kind gentleman with a little white cloud (the dog) also helped us. This place has remained in my heart. It's one of those places that makes you fall in love right away... I recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing and enjoyable evening with someone or even alone. Congratulations again to all the staff, we'll definitely be back ♥️

18/03/2026: home delivery pizza was very good but not as good as the nearby Riccardo rider

15/03/2026: Welcoming and attentive atmosphere. Excellent food. Superb pistachio pizza. The fish was good quality. The appetizer was plentiful and delicious. The staff was extremely kind, attentive, and accommodating to our requests. We had a wonderful time. If you're in the area, come and try the deliciousness this place has to offer.

30/01/2026: Excellence and charm on the slopes of Mount Etna. Cantine Nicosia is more than just a food and wine stop, it's a complete sensory experience. The location is simply enchanting: a perfect blend of modern elegance and the historic charm of lava stone, with a breathtaking view that perfectly prepares you for a tasting. What immediately strikes you is the obsessive attention to every detail, from the decor to the presentation of the dishes. The service is impeccable: the staff is extremely knowledgeable, attentive without ever being intrusive, capable of explaining the wines and the region with a passion that engages the guest. The quality of the culinary offerings lives up to their renowned wines, creating a perfect blend of innovation and Sicilian tradition. A place where professionalism meets the most authentic hospitality. An experience worthy of top marks.

21/01/2026: It's become our regular stop in Sicily. We tried the tasting of four wines, accompanied by a delicious lunch. What can I say... it was a journey of flavors and happiness. The icing on the cake was the incredibly knowledgeable and friendly Chiara. We'll definitely be back. Kind regards, Fam. Nicosia ❤️❤️❤️❤️
