I migliori ristoranti di cucina mediterranea in Catania

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 ♥️

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!

06/04/2026: The owner is a wonderful person. Fast staff and good, tasty food.

29/03/2026: Extremely delicious, super friendly service. Highly recommended!

10/05/2026: A good-quality restaurant with a varied, though not particularly extensive, menu. The clientele is certainly not popular, with prices correspondingly in line.

28/04/2026: The goulash was excellent, although a bit too spicy. The pizza was decent. The dishes from the cantinaccia were good. The only complaint... the excessive and very strong smell of truffle in the room.

14/05/2026: A superb experience... Good food, good wine, and a location with meticulous attention to detail. Special mention goes to the sommelier Chiara, who made the experience even more wonderful.

02/05/2026: The heart of Etna in your glass and on your plate ​"After the guided tour, which allowed us to immerse ourselves in the history of the Nicosia family, lunch was the true highlight of the day. It wasn't just a tasting, but a meticulously crafted sensory journey. The atmosphere is welcoming, perfect for those who want to unwind and enjoy the most authentic Sicily. Kudos to the staff: Chiara in particular rarely do you find such profound expertise explained with such simplicity and courtesy."

17/05/2026: I want to enjoy my food 100% – unfortunately, that wasn't the case there. My appetizer – raw shrimp – tasted of nothing but smelled rather strange. The pasta was supposed to be with garlic and chili, but it had hardly any flavor and no spice at all; the sauce was watery. I haven't eaten this badly in two months in Sicily. And the cover charge was a joke – just dry bread, no oil or butter, no seasoning whatsoever: €5 per person!!

17/05/2026: After my first not so good meal in Italy in 3 weeks last night, I spotted Trattoria da Nuccio on a small side street off the busy area in Catania historic centre. So glad I did. It was perfect, exactly what I wanted, a simple delicious lunch at reasonable cost, with great service. I had the Cotto a Sote de Pesce (cooked fish stew) with a side of grilled red peppers, and bread for dipping. Fantastic.

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.

20/05/2026: Amazing pasta, lovely people, fair prices! A gem!

26/04/2026: We chose to dine here during an overnight stay in the area, and it couldn't have been a better choice. It's a small, very well-kept restaurant, with extremely helpful staff, including the waitress who was very friendly and engaging. The selection of local wines is truly interesting, with the owner guiding you through the selection based on your dishes. We tried the appetizers, first courses, and second courses, all truly excellent, made with local ingredients. Fair prices.

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.

17/05/2026: Professional and courteous. Delicious pizzas.

14/05/2026: Wonderful restaurant/pizzeria, good value for money, and friendly staff. Highly recommended!

03/05/2026: I was looking for a restaurant that served traditional dishes, and I must say I ate very well. The swordfish linguine was excellent, the waiters were friendly, and the prices were fair.

28/04/2026: Delicious food, but no nice atmosphere.

15/05/2026: Magnificent palace in the heart of Catania

13/05/2026: Very austere on the outside. Just on the day I wanted to visit the richly decorated interiors, a tour was not possible because the Japanese had rented the palace for a wedding. Is money more important after all? I was only in the hall very briefly and managed to take photos of the balcony at the rear with a view of the cathedral. A pity...

06/05/2026: Recommended by my cousin, I went for dinner with the kids. A very quaint place. Excellent meat and pizza, good service, generous portions, and fair prices. We spent time chatting with the owner (I think), who was very kind and helpful. I went two nights in a row (why change if you're happy with it) and in the end, the real question is: would I go back? Absolutely.

27/04/2026: We were welcomed even though the place was very full with great courtesy, we ordered some bruschetta that was nothing short of exquisite and not to mention the pizza, truly excellent in everything from the dough to the toppings. Characteristic Sicilian-style atmosphere, I was truly satisfied, I will return again.

26/04/2026: The food was delicious. We had Margherita pizza, and it was one of the best we've ever had. The restaurant didn't look particularly appealing from the outside, but the interior was much nicer. The staff was friendly and attentive.

26/04/2026: Great restaurant! The pizza was exactly to our taste. Speaking of things we liked: a big thank you to the charming waiter who helped us choose. He was very likable! Both the service and the food were amazing. (quick, fresh, and good quality) Highly recommended!! This place truly captures the italian philosophy that people love so much about Italy 💚🤍♥️ An alle Deutschen: Entscheidet euch für dieses Restaurant. Es wird euch gefallen!!

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.

09/04/2026: Nice restaurant with tasty dishes at very reasonable prices and friendly & efficient service. We stopped by here for 4 days during our week-long trip to eat and were always very satisfied. It goes without saying that we highly recommend this place.

06/04/2026: We were the first guests at 8:00 pm – rather unusual for us. The service was good, but the food could have been a bit warmer.
