I migliori ristoranti di cucina mediterranea in Catania

21/08/2025: We had a surprisingly nice lunch here so we actually went back for dinner. The pasta alla norma and the carbonara were delicious and the portions great. A little wait at the beginning but it was so nice to find such nice people, such good food at very reasonable prices, especially in the area. Usually beach places are overpriced and with very disappointing food, but this was definitely not the case. Would come back if we’re back in the Catania beach area!

20/08/2025: The service was so slow, and some of the items never showed up. The whole place seemed unorganized.

05/08/2025: Using the excuse of faulty air conditioning fins, we had to endure a no-air-conditioning dinner with the doors wide open, and mosquitoes made a feast for us and our children. The Capricciosa pizza was very sparse in ingredients. I was very disappointed. I don't think I'll return.

02/06/2025: The quality of the food is not the best, I am referring to the fish dishes, the poor menu has little choice and for the price you are going to pay I strongly recommend not going to this restaurant.

21/08/2025: Good food, good service, and beautiful views. They also offer gluten-free pasta.

19/08/2025: We've eaten at the dive often, but despite the weather, it's still a dive. The service is the worst: rude and with little customer service. People go there anyway, so what does it matter to them? We had to wait to order, we had to wait for our appetizers and see who else had eaten before us (perhaps because they were tourists). The response was the icing on the cake: instead of an apology, they told me, "There are only two in the kitchen." Nice lady, charge €18 for a meager fish dish; you could hire an extra person. Or maybe put fewer tables next time. Two glasses passed off as sparkling wine, definitely from a bottle opened the night before. And if you do that to a sommelier, it's a real disappointment. In short, never go to the dive again. Too expensive for what it offers (or rather, doesn't offer).

13/04/2025: Location fiabesca mia figlia ha scelto questo luogo per il suo diciottesimo e anche il fotografo ha apprezzato sia l'esterno che l'interno con varie zone molto coreografiche, ma non solo anche i proprietari cordiali e disponibili, con loro abbiamo organizzato e coordinato tutti i vari passaggi. Personale gentile e anche i servizi esterni consigliati si sono dimostrati all'altezza. La festa è andata alla grande e la cena scelta con loro, buonissima impreziosita ancora di più dall'abbellimento dei tavoli a tema con il colore del vestito di mia figlia. Consigliato vivamente!!!

13/04/2025: Fairytale location with many natural views for which the photographer of the evening went to great lengths for photographic ideas, but not only that, friendly and kind owners with whom we agreed and organized my daughter's eighteenth birthday. Professional staff during the evening, as well as the external services offered such as entertainment and more, proved to be up to par. Highly recommended!!!

13/07/2025: Lugar con buenas pastas, buen café, incluso helado, en un lugar céntrico, pero los camareros no son muy amables. Si quieres pedir algo más, has de tener suerte para que te hagan caso. Una pena, pues un sitio con tanto potencial pierde por el detalle más básico.

11/06/2025: Everything very good, kind and professional staff, highly recommended!

14/08/2025: I was there for dinner and I have to say everything was excellent... Excellent food, excellent and very courteous service. The location is beautiful and suitable for any type of event. Congratulations!!! 👍

12/08/2025: Excellent service like everything else

14/08/2025: A quaint and authentic agriturismo beautifully located on the slopes of Mount Etna. Everything is delightfully rustic: from the hearty and highly recommended homemade dinner to the breakfast, the fruit trees scattered throughout the property, and the simple yet welcoming rooms. Thank you, Laura and Giuseppe, for your advice and hospitality!

11/08/2025: We spent one night with Laura and Giuseppe and thoroughly enjoyed our time. The food is wonderful, some of the best on our trip to Sicily. There are many opportunities to relax and enjoy nature. Laura was so kind and drove me to the train station. Very, very nice hosts.

09/05/2025: Posto molto accogliente, proprietari simpatici e gentili, ben posizionato in centro nella bellissima Nicolosi, porta dell’Etna. Abbiamo iniziato con una zuppa di fave fresche, finocchietto selvatico e ricotta salata, accompagnata da crostini di pane! Una delizia per il palato, abbiamo ritrovato sapori e profumi di una volta! Abbiamo poi continuato con una carrellata di delizie (polpettine di verdure di campo, di ricotta, di patate, melanzane, carciofi, cavolfiore affogato, …) . Potevamo infine rinunciare al dolce? Questa sera assaggi di due torte magnifiche e profitterol , il tutto annaffiato da due liquorini (ciliegia e carrube). Ovviamente buon vino locale per accompagnare il cibo! Una serata magnifica, da ripetere!!! Lo raccomando a chi vuole rigustare i sapori buoni e genuini di una volta.

05/05/2025: Nous avons suivi les avis sur Tripadvisor qui se sont révélés exacts Bon restaurant avec des spécialités siciliennes. Bon accueil.

17/02/2025: .... it's always good, in fact excellent, to come back to those parts... the "da zino" restaurant is one of my oldest memories (my father used to take me to eat pizza)... But every time I return to this place it's always better (from the pizzeria to the restaurant)... A very warm welcome, truly beautiful friendliness and efficiency!!

05/08/2025: Very good local restaurant Homemade cuisine Top-notch!

12/07/2025: We went there on the recommendation of our host. The food was okay, but it didn't blow us away. It was very expensive, and there was an entrance fee of €2 per person. The host was grim, but not rude. He's an old man, old school. I wouldn't recommend this restaurant. It didn't offer anything special. The prices shown here on Google Maps are already past history. They cost about €2-3 more per dish. The picture shows a "pasta carbonara." I'm not familiar with this dish.

07/08/2025: The pizzas and Sicilian specialties are good. Renovated venue. I recommend adding a more extensive menu to the restaurant, with more options, meats, and salads!

07/08/2025: I don't think I've ever had such a bad experience at a restaurant. Let's start by saying that we weren't supposed to come to this place, but fate decided it this way, having found the restaurant we were originally supposed to go to closed. They say every obstacle is a help. That's not the case here. As soon as we arrived, they sat us down and brought us menus. From that point on, a good half hour passed before we were able to order, with the order taker coming by to take orders from tables that had arrived after us. We finally ordered, and even then, quite a while passed before the appetizer arrived (excellent bruschetta with porcini mushrooms). The only bright spot of the evening. Just before the main courses were brought, we were told that a type of pasta wasn't available. So we ordered another type. When they arrived, we couldn't believe our eyes: out of four plates of pasta, there were maybe two. Truly meager portions. The strange thing, however, was that at the other tables, the portions were more than generous. One of us had ordered a charcuterie board that was supposed to be for two people; a board arrived that was apparently barely enough for one. Amid all this, they forgot to bring a pizza. The waiter immediately apologized and had it delivered. It was already 10:30 PM. We sat down around 8:40 PM. Already somewhat disappointed, we tried to get the attention of one of the two waiters working in our area to bring us the bill. We were unsuccessful, as they were engrossed in a heated discussion about how not to let customers walk all over us. Or so I understood. When we pointed this out to the head waiter, he apologized, took the blame, and finally brought us the bill with a €5 discount. Too bad they added two more covers (€4) and charged us for the pasta, which wasn't available (€1 more than what was actually brought). Moral of the story: a fictitious discount. The icing on the cake: they brought free slices of donut to all the tables. Obviously, nothing for us. They took our last name, inviting us back to make up for it, and greeted us with a "Fozza Catania." Glad the guy was from Catania, but precisely because we're from Catania, we can't make any futtiri. We'll be back. In another life.

27/07/2025: Trattasi di formula cena + dj set. Pessimo servizio. Porzioni minute con carenza degli ingredienti primari rispetto a quanto menzionato nei menu (o meglio volantini). Personale di sala non sufficientemente organizzato. Nessuna propensione da parte della direzione alla cura del cliente.

25/07/2025: Very nice place, nice outdoor terrace, excellent food, the best Sicilian in the area

01/08/2025: Excellent cuisine... excellent service... maximum relaxation

01/08/2025: Fantastic place to eat in Catania. Generous portions and quality food, lovely atmosphere. I recommend it to everyone; meat, fish, pizza, and excellent appetizers.

16/07/2025: Spectacular place, very cozy. We had coffee, a beer, and a Nutella and pistachio dessert. Very good service.

07/07/2025: Amazing place: sublime food, top-notch atmosphere, special staff.

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.
