I migliori ristoranti di cucina mediterranea in Catania

28/04/2026: long wait for poor quality food

28/04/2026: We liked it☺️ We came the next day too) to try some more pizza and it was very tasty 😋 and I recommend trying the local wine 🥂 and the pizza with anchovies is delicious🍕

02/05/2026: As soon as we entered, we were asked if we had a reservation; when we said no, they seated us at a table for two anyway, but the welcome was rather cold and uncaring. We ordered an appetizer of raw and cooked fish, but the dishes were disappointing: small portions and, even worse, sand. After pointing this out to the waiter, the response was even more disconcerting: we were told that "sometimes they don't wash properly." A truly unprofessional excuse. Unfortunately, the first course, a calamarata, also had the same sand problem, rendering the dish inedible. The experience was made even more unpleasant by the owner's attitude, who remained standing for quite some time, insistently observing the room. I felt uncomfortable, almost under scrutiny, rather than welcomed. When it came time to get the bill, the disappointment was complete: the prices were decidedly too high for the quality and attention to detail of the dishes served. A very negative experience, from every perspective. We won't be returning.

30/04/2026: I dived into the flavors of Il Porticciolo in Capomulini... If you're looking for an authentic fresh seafood experience in Sicily, Il Porticciolo restaurant in Capomulini is a must-see. I came here with a group of friends during a motorcycle tour of Sicily. For many of them, this place has been a regular stop for years, and now I finally understand why! It's worth a stop because the quality of the food is high. The fish is incredibly fresh, and every course exudes the authentic flavor of the Mediterranean. You can taste the carefully selected ingredients, not to mention the atmosphere and the view: eating with a sea view completely changes your day. As you savor the dishes, you can smell the sea air and hear the sound of the waves: total relaxation. Impeccable service: The staff is extremely kind, welcoming, and knowledgeable. They made us feel at home right away, even though we were a large group of bikers. Versatility: It's the perfect place for both a lunch with friends and a family dinner. The space is spacious and suitable for all needs, with indoor and outdoor tables. There were even musicians playing traditional Sicilian music. My verdict: I had a wonderful time and I can confirm that it will become a must-visit for my future trips to the island. If you're near Acireale or Catania, treat yourself and stop here. I highly recommend trying their seafood appetizers! I'll definitely be back.

19/04/2026: We booked this agriturismo based on the numerous positive reviews. Unfortunately, our expectations were disappointed, as the dishes we were served left much to be desired...

12/04/2026: Excellent menu Beautiful location Highly recommended

03/04/2026: I wish I come here again and again - not only great food and so kind owners and service - highly recommend!

24/03/2026: A short trip to Catania with friends and they recommended us to eat at La Paglia. We really appreciated the friendliness of the staff and the excellent food. The quality/price ratio was also good. We will definitely be back. I recommend it.

26/02/2026: We ordered two sandwiches to take home, some of the condiments were missing, as mentioned on the phone, and we had a stomach ache all night, in short, something to forget, we will never buy them again, I don't recommend it.

09/02/2026: I fell in love with their sandwiches from the first time I saw them, they rule Mascalucia when it comes to street food, highly recommended

07/06/2025: Café with a pleasant terrace on a small square. Good brioche. Helpful owner.

28/05/2025: Very good pastries, fresh croissants, delicious cream. I liked the savory options less, but still not bad. Good coffee and cappuccino.

21/04/2026: What a beautiful place I also met Mrs. Roxy and the food is delicious the service is beautiful and the atmosphere is amazing

21/04/2026: Overcooked food, dirty cutlery, no air conditioning, and cobwebs on the walls.

26/12/2025: We just got back and I have to say I already miss it. We only stayed one night and it was a wonderful experience, everything was unique. To those who say it's not well-maintained, I say you're talking because you have to talk nonsense, the stove... the carbon monoxide is already in your brain. Laura, a very sweet person who instills calm and sweetness, and Giuseppe, very nice, the mirror of happiness. In short, my family and I had a wonderful time, we will definitely return.

15/10/2025: We stayed just one night, it was beautiful, the property is immersed in a forest of chestnut and apple trees, everything is cooked by the owners, it feels like being in a fairy tale!

21/04/2026: Beautiful location overlooking the sea, the castle, and the Aci Trezza sea stacks. Friendly staff. Very good food, traditional dishes, and good value. Recommended.

12/04/2026: Unfortunately, there aren't many alternatives in Acicastello's main square... Each one is worse than the last, boasting a charming location but lacking in service and food! I wouldn't return...and I wouldn't recommend it at all!

01/05/2026: The food is delicious. The mixed mare is wonderfully fresh, you can choose your own fish of the day, the house wine is delicious, and the service is incredibly friendly. This place is definitely worth a visit 😊

01/05/2026: I recommend delicious seafood, especially fresh lobsters, not to mention grilled fish.

04/05/2026: I'm originally from the area, but this mountain hut restaurant at an altitude of 1,880 meters fascinates me, and whenever I can, I gladly return to spend a few pleasant hours in the welcoming atmosphere of the beautiful dining room with its panoramic mountain views. The fireplace creates an intimate, pleasant, and familiar atmosphere. The dishes are excellent, featuring quality ingredients masterfully prepared. The staff, led by Paola, are friendly, helpful, and provide impeccable service. A final word on the impeccable cleanliness, including the restrooms, which I also find pleasant as a setting.

26/04/2026: Nice place. Excellent, authentic dishes. Prices are a bit high, but justified given the setting. Courteous and professional service.

21/12/2025: This restaurant is located at the beginning of the famous Caltagirone steps, and has a beautiful and welcoming atmosphere. Service is prompt and the staff are friendly and attentive. The food is excellent, especially the "La Scala" pasta, which we would have eaten again. The fries were hot and crispy, and the grilled meat was delicious. A great experience.

09/12/2025: We went for a company lunch! Everything was excellent! The place was welcoming and the set menu delicious! Italian appetizers (with special mention for the frittatina with peppers and caponata), two pasta dishes (one with walnut sauce and the other, the chef's signature, "la scala" with fennel and sausage), and dessert to finish! The service was impeccable, the staff were very kind and attentive! We will definitely visit you again! Thank you.

28/02/2026: Very cute little restaurant, with delicious food and friendly service.

18/02/2026: We ordered pasta with white pesto and mussels and pasta with sardines a la Palermo – definitely some of the best things we ate in Catania. The location, right on the main square but slightly hidden, gives it a great Sicilian vibe. The older gentleman who served us didn't rush – which also gives it the perfect Sicilian feel, where you can sit, chat, and eat in peace. I highly recommend it.

04/05/2026: After seeing promotional videos for their aperitifs, I was curious to try it, and I went with some friends. The place was renovated and well-kept. But unfortunately, of the entire list of products they were supposed to offer us, only a small portion was served. I was disappointed. This is called false advertising in my hometown.

12/04/2026: Bar: Good but uninspired food, with limited selection; more suitable for a simple lunch, like a canteen. Excellent pastries.

03/08/2025: Great takeaway pizza for a very good price, and quick service.

01/08/2025: Terrible experience. The tomato in the Margherita was poor. Making a good Margherita is the foundation. The only positive note was the waitress (not the owner), who was kind and cheerful. I'm sorry to have to leave this review, but it's unfair to offer this type of product considering the price paid.
