I migliori ristoranti di cucina mediterranea in Catania

03/09/2025: Il Capriccio pizzeria restaurant is a great place to dine, dishes full of flavour, absolutely recommended

03/09/2025: Typical quality Apulian cuisine, compliments for the recommended fish-based dinner

31/08/2025: Beautiful location, excellent and plentiful food, fabulous pizzeria. The lady at the cash register was very nice and welcoming. She even offered us a complimentary liqueur. Highly recommended, we'll definitely be back.

22/08/2025: Before booking, I read the reviews and, without hesitation, booked a table for my family (4 people). The atmosphere was nice until the next table arrived with noisy children... but, after asking for a change of table, I was immediately given one. The staff was friendly but not attentive. An even more disappointing note was the food. We ordered three pizzas and a pasta dish. It arrived 20 minutes early... and we ate it frozen. You should know that the pasta should be topped a few minutes before the pizza comes out... never mind. The pizzas finally arrived, mine was wrong, so I waited a bit longer... inedible. A simple Margherita: raw dough, burnt toppings, so thin and dry I couldn't cut it; My husband's Cacio e Pepe: the same. Pleasant flavor, but raw dough. Too bad, I definitely won't be returning.

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.

05/10/2025: It was really good! I reccomend for aperitivo!

05/10/2025: Enough, I forgot!!!!! the dog.....for goodness sake, nothing against the dog, but in the room where people eat...it could be a nuisance...we're talking about a public place...everyone in their home can keep their dog wherever they want

06/10/2025: Everything is excellent!!! Well done!!!

04/10/2025: Food was great value for money. Service was excellent. Great atmosphere. House Red wine was a little bit thin, but good value.

22/10/2025: A very beautiful, quaint, and welcoming place. The staff is extremely kind and helpful. Exquisite food, top-notch meatballs!

22/10/2025: Delicious meal, lovely location! I'll definitely be back!!!

28/09/2025: Overall, the food is quite good, but unfortunately the owners aren't particularly friendly and helpful. They also don't allow tickets on Sundays without posting a notice.

31/08/2025: I don't understand why if the website says it closes at midnight, at 9pm it's already closed.

20/09/2025: The villa is beautiful, but the staff is unprofessional and the food is poor. I would have given it one star, but the second star follows the location, which we can't complain about.

07/10/2025: Me and my 4 sisters attended this restaurant for a birthday lunch, can I start off by saying the restaurant itself is beautiful! The decor is very unique alongside the placement of all the random vintage pieces along the wall magnificent! We ordered a few dishes and the total amount (€160) was extremely affordable we live in London so the price difference for the seafood was great! If you come definitely get the grilled sea-bream it was cooked to perfection, the mussels were very tasty so was the octopus salad! The only downside was the grilled prawns I feel they could have grilled them for longer maybe split them down the middle so they are cleaned better and included more seasonings as they were very bland. Apart from the prawns everything else was amazing the service was excellent and we was even offered lemoncello on the house. I would definitely come back when we are next in Sicily.

30/08/2025: I'll return to Catania just to be able to eat here again. It's a hidden, small restaurant with a beautiful, ornate decor and "Sicilian" service: We don't worship you, we give you service and advice if you ask. For me, it's better than having a waiter always on your heels! I ordered a Caprese salad with tomato and buffalo mozzarella, and what can I say? I wish we had this product in Spain for that salad. Not delicious, but delicious! And then I ordered spaghetti with gammon and zucchini, and that was another level! I don't understand how such a simple dish can be so absolutely wonderful. Brutal. Without a doubt one of the best trattorias I've ever tried, with a couple of glasses of house wine. Sicily on the table, you can't ask for more.

28/09/2025: Zucchini and tuna pizza: Four slices of zucchini and perhaps the equivalent of half a can of canned tuna, a new jaw to chew on a crust that resembles a car tire, and the next morning still to digest with accompanying heartburn. I thought it had gone badly the last time I was there, but this time, it's exactly like that. What a shame, the Mamadina of old is gone, a real shame.

21/09/2025: I'm giving it one star because zero isn't possible. After booking for 10:30 PM, we waited 1 hour and 10 minutes for the first pizza and another half hour for the other three. Besides the wait, the pizzas were subpar. Finally, at checkout, a beer was added to the bill, which we didn't consume. Disappointing.

01/09/2025: Raw octopus, swordfish rolls with nonexistent swordfish, unspeakable mussels au gratin, delicious fried calamari, sardines a beccafico with the same filling as the mussels (they kept me company all afternoon). Excellent lemon mousse, beautiful location.

31/08/2025: Divine mussels with tomato sauce. Spaggeti alle vongole nice. Nice view, next to the sea. The lady at the reception could have been more polite when I asked her what time the restaurant closes.

10/10/2025: Really everything was very good. We will return.

02/10/2025: Congratulations, everything is good.

29/04/2025: Camminando per le vie del centro di Catania, siamo stati attirati dalla location intima e tranquilla di questo locale situato in uno scorcio pittoresco a due passi dal Duomo. Pranzo a base di pesce tipico catanese con materia prima di qualità e porzioni generose. Nota di apprezzamento per lo staff, cordiale, disponibile, allegro e scherzoso senza però risultare invadente. Decisamente consigliato!

27/04/2025: Auf Empfehlung unseres einheimischen Vermieters, Santo, einem sehr netten Herrn, gingen wir in das Giglio Rosso. Es sieht von außen unscheinbar aus und der Chef ist ein selbstbewusster jedoch auch herzlicher Sizilianer. Wir ließen uns dann inspirieren von der Karte und seinen Empfehlungen und bestellten für uns 5 diverse Vorspeisen, Primi Piatti, Secondi Piatti und Nachtische. Und wirklich alles, was auf unseren Tisch kam, war ein ganz außerordentlicher Genuss. Sardellen, Schwertfisch, Garnelen, Tintenfisch, Rinderfilet, Pasta und Dolce. Zum Abschluss ein hausgemachter Marsalla. Alles vorzüglich um nicht sogar zu sagen einzigartig. Bei diesem Essen beschlossen wir, dass es eine weitere Reise wert ist wiederzukommen. In der Nacht entfaltete die enge, dunkle und für Catania sehr typische Straße einen ganz besonderen Charme, wie man ihn nur hier erleben kann. Ein schönes Erlebnis, das wir gerne in unserer Erinnerung behalten. So geht Urlaub ☀️😄 Top-Empfehlung 👍

07/05/2025: Compartimos una ensalada mixta, pasta alle vongole y un plato de pescado a la parrilla. Todos estaban bien cocinados y sabrosos. Hacemos una mención especial a las sardinas a la parrilla que no estaban secas y a la pasta vongole. Buen y rápido servicio. Situado en medio de la lonja de pescado tiene todos los pros y contras de la ubicación.

27/04/2025: Situato in pieno centro nelle prossimità della pescheria. Cibo eccezionale di elevata qualità come anche i condimenti. Professionale il personale e soprattutto il proprietario.

18/10/2025: Nice place.... Really nice.... Seats large enough to relax.. And be in company.. Really great view..

23/08/2025: The location is beautiful! Go to Mantegna if you want to eat!
