I migliori ristoranti di cucina mediterranea in Catania

09/10/2025: Very good traditional, local pizza

30/09/2025: Without making too much glamorous gossip and various meatballs..., you eat an excellent pizza from the Etna province, professional

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

12/08/2025: Beautiful and elegant location, you can dine outside (in the summer) surrounded by the greenery of an enchanting garden. The dishes met our expectations and we will definitely be back. The service is impeccable and everyone is very professional, the girls are very sweet. Thank you for everything.

12/10/2025: Very good restaurant. Food is excellent, service is welcoming and the atmosphere is vibrant.

18/09/2025: I had the pleasure of dining at Ristorante Pizzeria "Al Monterosso" in Viagrande and was struck by the authenticity of the flavors. Although the location may appear dated and not particularly elegant, the focus immediately shifts to what really matters: the food and the service. The staff is exceptional, kind and attentive, always ready to recommend the best of the menu with a passion that shines through in every detail. The restaurant's true strength is undoubtedly the mushroom dishes. I ordered a pizza with very fresh porcini mushrooms, and their flavor was unmistakable, a sign of superior quality. The dough was good, but it was the mushrooms that made the experience unforgettable. Beyond the pizza, the staff's recommendations were invaluable for savoring other dishes where freshness and careful preparation are the key features. The quality of the products absolutely justify the value for money, even if it's not a cheap place. I highly recommend the "Al Monterosso" restaurant to anyone looking for authentic flavors and impeccable service, without over-emphasizing the decor. It's the ideal place for a tasteful evening.

05/10/2025: Absolutely the best pizza in Lecce if not in all of Puglia. First class ingredients. Went back to try their fish and was just as impressed. Reasonable prices. Reservation recommended.

22/09/2025: Delicious pizza, top-quality ingredients. The Figata pizza is a cut above; the flavors of the different ingredients are clearly distinct, and they pair beautifully together. I don't have a particular note about the toasted bread pieces; you could find or improve the crunchiness even further, perhaps by revisiting the toasted bread or substituting it with toasted blanched almonds. Delicious fresh figs, excellent dough, very digestible; be careful with the honey; it plays a key role. A truly delicate and delicious pizza! Bravo!

30/09/2025: One of the best restaurants in Sicily After three weeks of cycling across Sicily, I've tried so many restaurants. Thanks to two very kind people, a plate of pasta and a delicious dessert, all handmade, I definitely recommend it!

22/09/2025: everything was great, food and especially the kindness of the people who took care of our table, thank you

13/10/2025: Excellent...... From the food to the service, everything was well-kept and very good

13/10/2025: This pizzeria is absolutely fantastic! The pizza is delicious, cooked to perfection and made with fresh, high-quality ingredients. The service was impeccable, with friendly and attentive staff. The place is welcoming and the atmosphere is relaxed. I highly recommend...

11/09/2025: A very beautiful palace. Worth a visit.

09/09/2025: Beautiful! Chiara, the guide, was very knowledgeable and in love with her beautiful country!

16/10/2025: We stopped at this traditional pizzeria for lunch and had a wonderful time. The pizza is thin-crust and the place is small, but the ingredients are top-quality, and the experience of watching it being prepared is truly unique. You can't imagine eating at an old-fashioned pizzeria and having Michelin-starred service at the same time. We had a wonderful time; I highly recommend this place for an authentic experience!

16/10/2025: A Perfect Place for Great Food. We Just Loved it.

17/10/2025: Very good food. And the service. Authentic Italian food. Great pizza and antipasti.

06/10/2025: The restaurant opens at 7 pm. Although we arrived earlier, they welcomed us, they seated us at a table even without a reservation. Very nice and helpful staff, they treated us very nicely and professionally. Excellent food, very good wine, the location looks great. Honestly, I don't really have anything to comment on. Thank you and I highly recommend it.

01/09/2025: I visited for work with a colleague and found the place quite busy, which is definitely a positive sign. We were greeted with kindness and personality, and after perusing the menu, we asked the waiter for advice, who suggested some off-menu dishes. We also chose the pappardelle with black truffle, which had just arrived: we saw it with our own eyes as they were preparing it. A truly pleasant experience, made special by the care and quality of the products.

25/08/2025: **English below** ------------- My Monday lunch experience in brief: almost an hour's wait for three plates of overcooked pasta, despite there being about 15 people in total. Several dishes on the menu were only partially available or unavailable due to a lack of certain ingredients. Overall, the food tasted okay. The waiters were friendly. Pizza was unavailable at lunch. The place certainly doesn't deserve one star, but not more than three. I don't know if I'll return, but if I do, I hope to have a better experience. I'm attaching a photo of the seafood linguine, which was certainly a generous portion, but the sauce was completely runny (the consistency of water). Note that clams were unavailable (as were other ingredients), so I hope this is an exception and not the norm. It should be noted that in the absence of clams, an extra langoustine and mussels were added, which was at least a welcome gesture. -------------- My experience in a nutshell: a wait of almost an hour for three plates of overcooked pasta, even though only about 15 people in total were there. Several dishes on the menu were unavailable or partially available due to a lack of ingredients. The food tasted okay overall. The waiters were kind. Pizza isn't available for lunch. The place certainly doesn't deserve 1 star, but not more than 3 either. I'm not sure if I'll go back, but if I do, I hope to have a better experience. I've attached a photo of the linguine allo scoglio, with a portion that was certainly generous but the sauce was completely watery. You can somewhat see this in the bottom part of the image, although it's not very clear - my bad for running away without taking any pictures after not even finishing the dish. I want to stress though that clams (clams) weren't available - like other ingredients - so I really hope the look of the dish is exceptional and not the norm. I must say that in the absence of clams, an extra scampo and some extra mussels were added, which was at the very least a thoughtful gesture. Oh and by the way I'm a local - I think it's worth mentioning it, just in case someone thinks that I'm a tourist and I know nothing about Italian cuisine.

27/09/2025: The fettuccini with porcini was so so good ! The tiramisu also was superb.

22/09/2025: It's located just above the main square in Zafferana, and has outdoor seating. The staff is friendly, especially the tall, blond guy... I'll definitely be back...

13/09/2024: Really friendly and kind staff, really excellent value for money, the place is really clean and tidy with impeccable hygiene

22/08/2024: Really good kebab, super kind service!

11/10/2025: This place is incredible! God send as a vegan in Sicily. All dishes are vegetarian or vegan, you choose 2,3 or 4 different dishes from the counter to make up your plate. So fresh it's untrue, beautiful Italian flavours and includes protein (vegan chicken in one dish). The chocolate raw cake is also out of this world. Not to be missed if you are a veggie or vegan in Catania!

10/10/2025: Wonderful vegetarian and vegan options, quite yummy, but the best part was the staff. So lovely and kind!

06/10/2025: Amaznig pizza and fresh juise drinks. The waiter didn't understood english but we managed to comunicate somehow. Prices are okey. I recommend going there ☺️🌺

04/10/2025: A charming place with exceptionally friendly service and excellent food. Everything is fresh, the portions are generous, and the cuisine is top-notch. We've already visited twice and will happily return again.

28/09/2025: Spaghetti was so good, and the owner is amazing. Best squid ink and cuttlefish ever. Highly recommend

14/09/2025: No frills spot with big portions, amazing fresh seafood and friendly service.
