I migliori ristoranti di cucina mediterranea in Catania

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.

16/02/2026: The restaurant has several rooms and plenty of seating. The missing fifth star is only due to the lack of parking, as it was really difficult to find one in the area (also due to it being Valentine's Day and the restaurant being packed). The staff were very friendly, both at the reception and during dinner. The quality of the menu—varied and catering to every palate—justifies the slightly above-average prices. The ingredients are incredibly fresh, with unique combinations and sophisticated flavors. We tried the baked potatoes with cacio e pepe cream as an appetizer and two pizzas, one with charcoal (wonderful!!!). We also looked at the tables and everything looked truly delicious. We will definitely be returning to this restaurant, congratulations!

12/02/2026: Excellent pizza and fairly fast service. Great experience.

04/01/2026: We discovered this restaurant by chance while strolling along the Torre Archirafi seafront. We were pleasantly surprised by the dishes on the menu: everything was fresh and good quality, with generous and flavorful appetizers. For our first course, we ordered the house specialty, shrimp and spider crab risotto...very, very good! In short, if you're in the area, it's a must-try!

03/01/2026: New Year's Eve 2026 Lunch. An excellent seafood New Year's Eve lunch. From appetizer to dessert, everything was delicious. The host was very kind and attentive. I recommend it and will be back.

18/10/2025: Exelent food, service and atmosphere. Very helpfull staff, highly recomended!

28/08/2025: I wonder why it doesn't have a Michelin star... An experience you won't forget!

24/02/2026: Excellent pizza, well-topped, with a soft, melt-in-the-mouth crust. It's hard to choose given the original and very interesting menu. The staff are friendly and attentive, and the rustic location is very well-kept and welcoming. Highly recommended.

19/02/2026: In Riposto, CT. Corso Italia 215. Corner of Via Francesco Crispi. The pizzas and the rest are quite good. We had a lovely evening. We'll be back again!

28/11/2025: Stazzo, Acireale, CT. Piazza Mantova, 7. A nice place facing the square with a large terrace. We had pizzas, perhaps not exceptional, but still good. There were some service hiccups, but that can happen when there's a lot of people to look after. And it wasn't Saturday night! The prices seemed reasonable.

20/11/2025: Nice restaurant in the seaside area. On a winter Monday, we were the only ones in the restaurant. Good food and super friendly staff. Recommended!

23/02/2026: Young, welcoming and friendly atmosphere, excellent service, quality dishes

10/01/2026: I was looking for a place to get pizza for lunch. First, I found a friendly voice who answered the phone, then a welcoming environment, delicious pizzas, and a dessert that makes my day better 😉. Moreover, and most importantly for me, I found true and spontaneous inclusion for my son. That doesn't always happen, it doesn't happen often. I highly recommend it in every way.

02/02/2026: Plenty of parking, warm room, very nice atmosphere, tasty pizzas, very good, and very respectable desserts

26/01/2026: I asked for availability and a quote for an eighteenth birthday party, and the owner responded rudely, saying he couldn't rent the room for just a few people, not even asking how many there were. And he didn't ask if I wanted to rent the whole room, which was a shame because that's what I wanted to do.

25/02/2026: The meatballs with lemon leaves and pork in sauce represent a perfect balance between tradition and the identity of the Giarre area. The citrusy note of the lemon leaves is not invasive, but works in the background, enhancing the natural sweetness of the pork and creating a distinctive aromatic signature. The same goes for the pork in sauce. Highly recommended.

21/02/2026: The place feels like home… The photos hanging there testify to the strong connection with Etna and Sicily! The pizza and meat are truly delicious… You have to try them! The service is excellent and, despite the crowd, they were very quick. Recommended.

28/01/2026: Pollo al Forno - perfect still great memories from 1993 to 1996

26/01/2026: Great little restaurant; street parking that wasn't difficult to find on a Friday night in January. Staff speaks English. There is a small, open kitchen with a woodfire pizza oven, and the pizza menu is extensive. My husband's swordfish wasn't fresh, but he didn't seem to mind. Storm Henry hit earlier in the week and the local fisherman were still probably recovering. We were looking for a restaurant that wasn't in Catania downtown and Valentino's fit the bill. Sigonella folks: this is a great place to go with a larger group. Atmosphere scored low because of the fluorescent lighting - does nothing for dining ambiance.

21/02/2026: A very charming little spot for an aperitivo or aperitivo with indoor and outdoor seating. The cocktails are beautifully crafted, and the snacks also help spark pleasant conversation. There's paid parking nearby in blue lines in Catania's nightlife district.

22/11/2025: We loved this place. Great ambience, big variety of drink, very friendly staff. Owner is always there. We will definetely come back.

20/02/2026: - Cozy and traditional restaurant - Delicious fish and meat dishes - The mussels, sardines, and veal were really good - Good wine and friendly service

18/02/2026: Delicious pasta and spectacular tiramisu! Small place, best to book in advance.

16/03/2026: I wanted to try this restaurant because I'd heard good things about it. It's a lovely, elegant place, with private parking and electronic payment options. I had the "Aqua del Ferro" pizza, and I have to say it was very good: excellent ingredients used, generous toppings, and truly well-made. The staff was also professional and friendly; there was nothing to complain about. The only downside, if anything, was the higher-than-average prices. For two pizzas, a generous portion of fries, two cans of Coke, and a 75cl can of water, I paid €49. I later got the price down to €32 thanks to a reservation with The Fork, which I recommend using if you want to try this lovely restaurant.

14/03/2026: Extraordinary location, excellent cuisine, very professional service

18/02/2026: Beautiful place and excellent food. The owner also offers very nice accommodation not far from the restaurant.
