I migliori ristoranti di cucina mediterranea in Catania

30/03/2026: Exceptional coffee and beautiful barista 💚💪 congratulations. GT driver

14/08/2026: Everything was delicious at the place located behind the fish market. The prices were reasonable.

29/07/2026: A traditional trattoria overlooking the fish market. We ate wonderfully: caponata, sardines alla beccafico, octopus salad, mussels with pepper, and a bottle of local wine.

31/07/2026: We don't understand the overwhelming negative reviews from Poles. We ate at this restaurant three days in a row; the pizza was excellent, the pasta was excellent, and the drinks were fantastic. We felt very comfortable there, thanks to the fact that it's run entirely by a family – the atmosphere is unmistakable, and the waitresses greet people with a smile and kindness. We highly recommend it, greetings from Poland :)

31/07/2026: As a tourist, I ate here multiple times while in Catania, without issue. The staff is very friendly, the food is very tasty, and I would recommend to others.

10/08/2026: I highly recommend this restaurant, even to guests from outside the area. It's perfect for those who like to escape the hustle and bustle of the usual crowds. Excellent dinner. The tuna tartare was made with good-quality fish, as was the risotto. Excellent value, even for the wines. Not on this occasion, but I also remember a delicious club sandwich! Last but not least, we had great service.

06/08/2026: Really struggled for restaurants in the area, staying at the hotel and thought we'd give it a try, the best idea we had the food is amazing the menu is short and everyone we spoke to were more than happy with the food and staff were on hand giving it that unique experience. We did reserve our table going off previous reviews I think this is a good idea to be sat outside.

14/08/2026: We dined at this splendid restaurant with friends who love excellent cuisine: the dishes are meticulously prepared and presented, and the ingredients are carefully selected. Everything is excellent! One note for the more discerning: the table setting would have required a tablecloth in addition to the placemat. A must try!

12/08/2026: Unfortunately we did not try the degustation menú but be aware you can order individual dishes from Land and Sea menus. The menú its a bit confusing. We ordered Carnaroli rice with rabbit and one Oxheart tomato as starter. The rabbit risotto was fine but the Oxheart tomato skip it, you will not expect that. The service was fine but we missed some explanations for the plates. Aperitivo of the chef was great. Be aware you may need to wait for the plates 30’. The environment is great and quiet. Maybe I will skip going with children as its not worthy.

10/08/2026: Terrible experience and gross disregard for customer health. ​Unfortunately, I have to leave an extremely negative review. I dined at this restaurant (on my birthday!), ordering a mixed grill of fish and grilled vegetables. From the very beginning, the quality of the food left me perplexed: the calamari, in particular, didn't seem well-cooked at all. ​The most serious issue, however, concerns the customer's health management: before ordering, I clearly specified that I was celiac. Despite this warning, a few hours after dinner I felt very unwell, which turned into full-blown food poisoning. ​Whether the cause was the undercooking of the fish or cross-contamination (absolutely unacceptable when celiac disease is reported), the result was a nightmare night. I strongly advise against this restaurant, especially to those with intolerances, allergies, or those seeking minimum standards of hygiene and cooking of raw materials.

25/07/2026: Excellent after 10 years I returned and I can't deny that it's top

04/01/2026: An enchanting place, we stayed there for one night. We had dinner, lunch the next day, and breakfast; we had a wonderful time. They reserved a very welcoming and comfortable chalet for us, the bathroom had recently been renovated and even had a towel warmer. The food service is excellent; Mr. Salvatore, who looked after us, is a very courteous and friendly person. To give you an idea, we sat down at 8:00 PM and got up at 10:00 PM, enjoying everything from appetizers to dessert. I highly recommend it and, of course, we will return. It's a key location, given its rather elevated position. I wanted to point out that they put Coca-Cola directly at the table without even asking, which is something no one ever does.

27/12/2025: The perfect place to unplug, immerse yourself in nature, and enjoy pure relaxation. The owners are extremely kind and helpful, the rooms are exquisite, equipped with every comfort, and they accept pets. The food is excellent. The location is superb for exploring the entire northern slopes of Etna. Overall, everything is top-notch, I'll be back.

14/08/2026: Located in the center of Catania, the restaurant is curious for its specialty meatballs of all flavors and even more, we have the meatballs in sauce in a composition of 5 excellent also fried in particular with citrus fruits were excellent if you want to eat something new I recommend it, the manager of the room very knowledgeable about the product

05/08/2026: We just went there. Everything was excellent, the food and the location. The waiter was very kind. Highly recommended!!!

11/07/2026: I couldn't order pizzas by phone. I was told there was no wait. I waited 40 minutes, and the pizzas weren't even good. I'll absolutely never order anything again! Anemic pizza and frozen products. I wouldn't wish anyone to eat in this place that's been stuck for 30 years.

11/07/2026: Very nice and cosy place.Great food,and really fast service.We had a very good time , live music, positive vibes and friendly environment.We will come back.Grazie mille.

07/07/2026: We recently stayed at Cirasellaetna in Sant’Alfio for three nights. Laura, with the assistance of Giuseppe, was an amazing host. The food she cooked for us was simply sensational. The accommodation is in a 250 year old stone house which has been lovingly restored over many, many years. The property is located within the Etna National Park and we could even see the lava flow at night from the orchard! It is such a serene place to stay and disconnect from the frenetic pace of everyday life. Thank you Laura for the interesting conversations, delicious food and wonderful memories.

17/05/2026: Calm and beautiful place, great owners, yummy breakfasts , exceptional dinners, good proximity for start of the great hikes to explore mountains ( you'll need to use car 10 min drive up, also to get to the forest outside the populated area) . Place to return. Thanks!

08/08/2026: A dream: snow to ski in and chickpeas or beans to enjoy sitting in front of the fireplace. We hope to be able to do it again.

04/08/2026: Excellent food, prompt service, and courtesy in an "alpine" setting Very, very good

13/05/2026: A café and pastry shop where you can stop for breakfast or a rotisserie. I know they serve first and second courses for lunch, and the menu changes daily. The friendly and helpful staff makes this place a must-visit when you're in the area. I highly recommend it.

01/05/2026: The best croissant I've ever had in Sicily… 🥐❤️

26/07/2026: We had an aperitif and mixed fried fish, all good, good price.

25/07/2026: The staff was friendly, and the owner was a wonderful person. We ordered an appetizer and a main course, both delicious and reasonably priced.

28/06/2026: Curious place. Indecipherable bill. Several hairs in the food. A place not to return to.

26/06/2026: The place is very quiet, not in the mainstream area but close to it. The owner is the waiter and he was sitting outside, doesnt speak english, only a few words. We ordered pasta with sea urchins and swordfish rolls. The pasta was great and enough but they gave us only 2 swordfish rolls for €18 and an additional €5 for side dish (which he didn’t mention was extra money, i thought it was included with the rolls). For dessert the tiramisu was a bit modern (with chocolate sauce and powder sugar), small and expensive also.
