I migliori ristoranti di cucina mediterranea in Catania

03/10/2025: This was the best pizza I've ever had. Really delicious, made with good ingredients. The service was nice and fast. We were very satisfied.

24/09/2025: We stopped for dinner. We parked nearby in a covered paid parking lot, as it's in a restricted traffic zone. The first course was good, with generous portions; everything seemed fresh. They also have drinks to pair with dinner or as an aperitif. Friendly, kind, and attentive staff. Recommended!

12/09/2025: Everything was perfect; the quality, quantity, and price were amazing! We ordered fries, a standard salad, an onion and bacon roll, two horse meat paninis, a bottle of water, and 1L of house wine for €27. The service was also very good. The only thing I don't like is that they charge €1.50 per person for a cover. But anyway, it's worth going.

07/09/2025: Quite a quiet place but the strong point is the famous horse steak and the onion salad. Try it and believe it.

18/10/2025: The food is just exceptionally good, very good value for money. The staff is very friendly and generous with the homemade limoncello. I highly recommend it!

18/10/2025: We tried several dishes, some good (the scallops in Marsala, the caponata), others lacking (the parmigiana, the spaghetti with braised clams). The service was extremely slow, but they explained to us that there was a kitchen shortage. Overall, mediocre.

13/10/2025: We had six takeaway pizzas. All of them were very good. I'm from Germany, where you can't find pizzas nearly as good as this one. Simply wonderful! I'll definitely come back here next time I'm in the area!

05/10/2025: The best pizza place in Riposto/Giarre - we tried a few others but ended up coming back 3 times here. Nice outdoor seating area in side street overlooking a small park - plus a good, large indoor area for rainy days. Infinite choices on the menu including create your own, bases were perfect and the toppings always excellent and very generous. Good service and great prices.

18/10/2025: A nice stop for the production of honey and cosmetic products based on honey. I bought 2 soaps and some candies. There are different aromas of honey (I don't know if it was the natural taste).

02/09/2025: Reasonable prices. Everything is available, wide selection. Closes at 8:30 PM

08/10/2025: We didn't really have an idea of ​​what we ordered but knew it was for 2 people and something with fish in it.. a bit of language confusion, and we thought it was something without pasta.. But wait a minute, we got a lot of food.. it was the best we had on our entire holiday.. it gets our warmest recommendations. A big shame that we were the only guests for the 2-3 hours we sat there..

21/09/2025: Dining while being pampered by the waves just a few meters away is enchanting, but always having the honor of eating fish from a great restaurateur is priceless. I invite you to taste every dish recommended by the chef and enjoy your meal.

10/10/2025: A great restaurant run by a group of enthusiastic youngsters. Best food on our whole trip on Sicily. Thank you so much

10/10/2025: nice place, exquisite dishes and above all the staff, Marika, super kind

12/10/2025: I went last night with friends and we had a delicious evening. We chose pizzas: well-topped and with excellent dough. The staff was friendly and the service was quick.

05/10/2025: I have to say I've always had good pizza, but the last time I was disappointed, it was completely tasteless; I couldn't recognize any flavor, and four others at our table had the same problem. It must have been a coincidence. See you next time.

08/10/2025: Delicious, great service. Highly recommended!

08/10/2025: We don't understand how this restaurant even operates. Our Uber driver recommended Antica, but it was the worst place we've ever been. The service was utterly incompetent – ​​no greeting, no smile, the waiter didn't even try to pretend he was interested. He bought us wine as if he were doing us a favor, dropped off the bill, and didn't say a word. The food was equally poor – the pizza was overly salty and greasy, the dough hadn't risen, the oysters tasteless. Dirty glasses, uncleaned tables. At the end, a scene straight out of a bad movie – the manager yells at the waiter in front of a customer at the register. Disaster. Never again Antica.

24/10/2025: A high-end pizzeria that won't disappoint those willing to spend a little more. Thin, easily digestible dough, excellent toppings (the mozzarella, mushrooms, and passata were all good, but it's a shame about the prosciutto, which was decidedly too salty). I didn't drink wine (never with pizza), but the wine list is extensive and varied. The dessert menu was presented without prices (and then a bit steep on the bill), and ultimately, the finish couldn't compare to the excellent pizzas that preceded them (I've had better almond parfaits, and the Sicilian treasure chest was a scoop of almond gelato with a faint hint of pistachio and practically no orange). Enchanting location, excellent service. The overall rating I see now (4.2) is also what I would give if I could give decimals. It wasn't my first visit, and I'll definitely be back.

14/10/2025: High quality. Bit pricey but mostly locals eat here so that’s the best recommendation.

05/10/2025: Amazing Sicilian seafood, exactly what we wanted! Highly recommend.

05/10/2025: Time constraints didn't allow us to dine at La Baracca. We'll make up for it next year, though. But at this point, a shout-out to the team, who were friendly and helpful, and so generous in helping an animal in need without any fuss or red tape. Hats off to such human greatness. See you next year 🎉🎉

19/10/2025: The flavor of the dishes we enjoyed was sublime! Our taste buds were in overdrive! A Catania-style pasta dish that had the authentic family flavor, caponata, fried anchovies, sardines alla beccafico, and tuna with lemon sauce. And to top it all off, a cannoli with an amazing cream. All this in a family-friendly and authentic atmosphere. Congratulations to Chanty and her family for their work and their extraordinary ability to satisfy their customers. Top value for money. An experience to repeat.

14/10/2025: A small deduction for the forgotten caponata, and we actually had to get up and order inside because the service simply didn't pay us any attention. Friendly nonetheless. The food and atmosphere were fantastic!

07/10/2025: A special thank you to Etna Palace for allowing us to celebrate our wedding. A fabulous location with a large park that hosts a beautiful buffet/cake cutting area, full of fountains, and a large swimming pool that completes the setting, with majestic Mount Etna as a backdrop. Inside, the venue features a very large, elegant hall. The very welcoming and competent staff were eager to accommodate our needs, ensuring a reception with attention to every detail. The menu was extensive, and the cuisine was excellent and carefully prepared! Our experience was very positive, and we'll definitely be back!

07/09/2025: We chose the Etna Palace restaurant on the recommendation of family friends, who have hosted many events there. From the start, we found the atmosphere to be very friendly and welcoming, ready to assist us with any questions or concerns we had. With the advice of chef and owner Carmelo, we created a delicious and sophisticated menu, and all our guests raved not only about the cuisine offered but also about the decor of the room and the care they took to accommodate our requests. We will definitely return to host our events there. And we will continue to recommend it to anyone looking for a place where they make you feel at home and not like an object. Thanks again to the Etna Palace team. See you soon. Sincerely, Francesco and Martina.

13/10/2025: My all time favorite restaurant for my spaghetti. Fresh and tastes wonderful. Cane back this year and unfortunately, they don’t have my favorite spaghetti dish, but we had a mixed grill plate and my husband had the Ragu macaroni and it was wonderful! The waitress is phenomenal and had a full restaurant and waited on everybody. She’s great. Danielle ❤️

09/10/2025: Very good pasta with seafood and mussels Large portion - everything was perfect Most of all, the locals go there, which is a good sign

07/09/2025: Very nice restaurant. Magical, typical local place. I absolutely recommend

06/09/2025: We could have had a great evening! The setting is pleasant with a sea view, and the tables are well-arranged on a comfortable terrace. The service? We felt like we were intruding from the aperitif to dessert. So, the language barrier, fine. But not a word during the entire meal. Not a smile; we felt uncomfortable. It's a shame. We won't be going back, despite the meal being quite good.
