I migliori ristoranti di cucina mediterranea in Catania

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 ❤️❤️❤️❤️

26/02/2026: Excellent pizza, I will try it again.

15/02/2026: The best place in Catania from service to dessert!!!

08/03/2026: An excellent lunch featuring fresh, well-prepared fish, excellent wine, and delicious desserts prepared by the chef. Excellent service made even more unique by the friendliness of the owner. We'll definitely be back next time we're in Caltagirone!

23/02/2026: We had a fantastic meal, a wine from Caltagirone, and porchetta al forno and grilled fillets—everything was delicious. The service was very friendly.

25/03/2026: The best pinsa I've ever eaten... and now the pizza too! It's simply fantastic! Everything is truly delicious. The beer is always cold, and there's also a cellar stocked with excellent local wines. The staff is knowledgeable and very friendly. A special thanks to Ornella, a super welcoming hostess who makes the experience even more enjoyable. Highly recommended.

25/03/2026: If you're looking for a pizzeria that combines tradition and innovation with extraordinary quality, Officina 51 is undoubtedly a must-try. Located in the heart of Catania, this pizzeria and pinseria offers a unique dining experience that not only satisfies the palate but also captivates with its welcoming, modern atmosphere.

14/12/2025: Recommended! A small, family-run place, we ate really well and then finished with a treat: delicious homemade liqueurs 🤩 one licorice and the other bitter.

16/11/2025: It's a somewhat hidden place where you can eat well and abundantly.

13/03/2026: It was a private birthday party.

12/03/2026: The interior is more impressive than the exterior. I liked the period furniture and very beautiful staircase. Worth visiting.

02/04/2026: It's a shame that it's becoming increasingly difficult to find places like this in city centers…

26/03/2026: We went to the trattoria on the recommendation of our hotel and it was a great choice. A friendly atmosphere and delicious food.

09/03/2026: Small but cozy place. The staff (they're the owners) were very helpful and courteous. We ate very well, except for the meatballs, and the desserts weren't up to par with the other dishes. The first courses were very good, especially the shank and porchetta.

04/03/2026: A simple yet familiar location. Kudos to Stefania, who, for the way she welcomed us, for the way she explained the dishes, and above all for the advice she gave, allowed us to fully enjoy the evening. Highly recommended. Thank you, Stefania

22/03/2026: If the pizza dough becomes runny after 5 minutes, that's not a good sign. There was too much topping on the pizza. It was missing herbs or spices. And the crust was far too thick. It was reminiscent of Pizza Hut, but not of a classic thin, crispy pizza crust. The service was very annoying and stressful. Every three minutes they tried to pressure us into buying a drink. Their motto seemed to be "make a sale." There are so many other restaurants around here; we really don't need this pizza place.

15/03/2026: really tasty neapolitan pizzas!🙌👍 the service was so friendly! they even gave us free dessert☺️ worth visiting!

09/12/2025: Luckily, we found this little restaurant; we ate wonderfully. The wild fennel pasta had a fragrance that filled the entire room. The meat was also delicious, perfectly cooked and tender, and the eggplant ravioli were also delicious. The owners were very kind and attentive. The place is small but welcoming. I recommend parking a little before reaching the restaurant square, as there's only room for 6-7 cars.

02/12/2025: Nothing special... limited menu... small portions...

12/03/2026: Excellent food... Friendly and helpful staff... A place to spend a pleasant evening.

11/03/2026: The waiters were excellent and very polite.

12/03/2026: Small dining room with a direct view of the oven. Thin pizza base topped with fresh ingredients. Centrally located in a side street off the pedestrian zone.

10/03/2026: Paying for this stuff is an insult to your bank statement. It's the only pizza in the world that leaves you hungrier than before, not because it's light, but because your stomach refuses to recognize what it just received as "food." ​Final Score: 0/10 The only point is for the takeout box, which probably had a more interesting texture and a longer-lasting aftertaste than the pizza itself.

10/03/2026: A family-friendly restaurant with high-quality food and exceptional staff. The owners, a husband and wife team, are always courteous and welcoming. I've been coming here for 14 years now, and their consistent, good work is a testament to their professionalism. The icing on the cake are their homemade liqueurs, perfect for a delicious after-dinner treat. Highly recommended.

08/03/2026: Today, my wife and I had the pleasure of lunch at Trattoria Da Peppino. We ordered the half menu, consisting of appetizers and two first courses. What can I say? The place is well-kept and clean, the staff attentive and always available to answer any questions. The food was excellent. The cashier was an elderly lady, but with an enviable elegance. I'm sure we'll be back. Thank you for everything.

13/12/2025: It was my first time here, and I must say I'll gladly return... you pay little and get a lot... I ate very well, from the rustic appetizers to the first and second courses, right down to dessert and coffee. Everything was delicious, and the place was rustic yet welcoming.

24/11/2025: Alfio, the wonderful guide at the Castagno dei Cento Cavalli, recommended this restaurant for our lunch. We were delighted by the antipasto that kept arriving with so many dishes. Then our pasta which was tasty. A great view towards the sea from the windows. We enjoyed our lunch very much.

23/01/2026: In the club. The only worthy person left in Nicolosi.

21/01/2026: Excellent service and especially the pizza.
