I migliori ristoranti di cucina mediterranea in Catania

25/05/2026: I'm writing this review as soon as it's out, beautiful and sparkling. I'm a huge restaurant expert, and this will definitely be one of my top 10 favorites in the world. The spaghetti with clams was, as they say in English, tidy, PERFECT. The parsley in every dish was crunchy. The people around me were nice and friendly, the service was honest, nothing fake, and the house wine is best avoided; it goes down beautifully.

18/05/2026: Everything was delicious, the food was wonderful! Highly recommended!

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!

01/06/2026: The place is a bit dark and poorly lit. We had booked a table inside because dining outside on the street with cars passing by would be worse. There was no air conditioning in the place so the evening was really difficult. The pizzas were good overall even if they served one that was burnt, the same person wasn't even brought the beer he had ordered with the pizza but on the other hand it was on the bill.

25/05/2026: Excellent quality, impeccable service, highly recommended

13/04/2026: I was here in this magnificent restaurant, very welcoming and well-kept environment, I ate really well, I started with a mixed rustic appetizer and we integrated the appetizers that were not included in the dish. The melted Tuma cheese rated 10. Winter dishes were carefully prepared and well served. The staff very professional and friendly. They recommended a really excellent wine, a Syrah Case Alte di Macelarotto, I recommend it. We had two first courses, spaghetti carbonara with bacon and truffle shavings and a first course of pappardelle with asparagus, speck and cream cheese. We moved on to dessert with a fig and chocolate tart and a chocolate and pear tart, unfortunately I did not find the taste I was hoping for. I will be back to try many of your other dishes because it was a positive experience. Fresh products and a variety of choices on the menu. Excellent value for money. Recommended.

11/04/2026: A restaurant that now feels like home.

03/06/2026: Found on the recommendation of the person who rented us a house in the village. Plenty of space, good pizza, fresh, well-cooked fish. Average prices.

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.

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."

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.

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.

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

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

03/06/2026: We had a delicious meal here yesterday. We were looking for pasta alla Norma, as is our custom, and stumbled upon this place. Pippo gave us a very warm welcome. We enjoyed our food and drinks, and the pasta was absolutely incredible. The eggplant on top was soooooo tasty, and everything else was just as good. The atmosphere was lovely and so typically Italian. Pippo was also very friendly and gave us a warm send-off. Thank you for the wonderful experience! 🌞

03/06/2026: Very delicious, fresh, local food offered with great hospitality. I will definitely return to eat.

31/05/2026: We were greeted attentively, seated at a long table for 15 without a wait, despite it being a Friday night. We ate well, especially the excellent pinza and excellent meat dishes. The desserts were less impressive. The atmosphere is sophisticated yet informal. Also recommended for large groups.

28/05/2026: Very welcoming atmosphere, very friendly and fast staff. Excellent food made with fresh, top-quality ingredients, a great selection of beers, and delicious pinsas with incredibly light crusts. Highly recommended!

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!!
