I migliori ristoranti di cucina mediterranea in Catania

04/11/2025: A beautiful Sicilian trattoria with insanely delicious seafood and a terrace overlooking the Mediterranean Sea. The owner is very helpful, serving, greeting, and bidding farewell to guests himself.

04/11/2025: Absolutely avoid this place, it's a tourist trap!!! What a rip-off at the end of our trip to Sicily! We were with friends and ordered four Spritz cocktails with a large plate of grilled fish as an appetizer! We had this dish several times during our week in Sicily (we usually budgeted 15 to 20 Euros each time). What a nasty surprise to find that this dish for four cost 80 Euros!! What a disgrace!! After this bad experience, we checked the reviews, which are all too common.

16/11/2025: The negative reviews are incomprehensible: Our experience at this charming place was completely positive. We ordered pizzas and were pleasantly surprised by the choice of ingredients: they use zero-mile Sicilian flour from the Sant'Alfio mill, and you can taste the use of high-quality artisanal Italian mortadella and prosciutto. The pizzas were incredibly light and flavorful, with a perfect crust. The value for money is excellent, given that pizzas of this quality would cost at least double elsewhere. I also tried the Sicilian pizza, which I found dry and very good; the only complaint was that it was lightly topped on the inside, perhaps due to its non-standard size.

09/11/2025: Good experience The food was plentiful and everything was good.

24/10/2025: We had a lovely quiet lunch here during our day exploring Catania. The gentleman serving us was very nice and we both enjoyed our meals (especially the caprese). Would certainly come back if we return to Sicily!

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.

14/01/2026: My rating is for the rice crepes. They're among the best in Catania.

18/12/2025: Welcoming atmosphere, friendly and helpful staff, excellent food. A truly positive experience, highly recommended!

26/11/2025: Very good fish Resturant if you re in the area worth give it a try

20/10/2025: Beautiful place with a sea view, classic Sicilian lunch with good fish and to finish a very good strawberry sorbet, service a little serious but efficient, a few more smiles wouldn't hurt, but highly recommended

08/01/2026: I've had the opportunity to eat at the Monte Conca Restaurant several times and have always been thrilled. The staff are welcoming, the food is excellent, and the view is breathtaking. It's an excellent choice for those who want to escape the daily grind and relax in the fresh air.

05/01/2026: I didn't have lunch, but I did use the bar. The sausage roll was pre-made and reheated, but the bread wasn't exactly fresh. There's no table service. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming. The restrooms are poorly maintained, which is a shame.

18/09/2025: Kindness and courtesy. Excellent baked goods. The focaccias...Mmmmmmm, so good!

10/07/2025: Questo locale si conferma su livelli di ottima qualità! Decisamente buone le granite, ottima la rosticceria! Personale molto cortese e rapido! Il tutto contornato dalla posizione sul lungo mare scogliera della città! Decisamente un posto ideale, per incontrarsi con amici e trascorrere un po' di tempo insieme, gustando roba di qualità.

16/10/2025: Great traditional Sicilian / Italian food with emphasis on seafood. Pizzas only on Saturday and Sunday. Easy access and parking out front.

11/10/2025: Absolutely terrible and I'll stop here.

05/02/2026: We didn't look at the reviews at this restaurant and we made a big mistake. We were lured in by the restaurant being full of people and I really don't understand what kind of happiness these people were looking for. I can understand that the waitresses couldn't cope because the tables were full. But what I don't understand is the quality of the food. We only had pizza and it was the worst pizza of my life, which I didn't expect to experience in Italy. The pizza was strangely greasy (no, we didn't order a frittata), the middle had a muddy consistency and there were half-cooked peppers on top. If you are a tourist and want to taste something good in Catania, you will definitely not experience it in this place! Waste of money for bad food.

28/01/2026: We went to dinner at this place and at the end of the dinner my partner forgot his sweatshirt there on the table so I called to say that we would come and collect it two days later when we went the sweatshirt was no longer there someone from the staff had stolen it so kids be careful of this place because the employees steal and the food wasn't great either.

02/09/2025: Very good restaurant. A woman approached us to come to her restaurant. It was very, very good. A good restaurant. A woman told us if we wanted to go in. It was very, very good.

05/06/2025: Ho pranzato due domeniche fa in questo buon ristorante situato nel centro della città, dietro la Via Etnea. Sono rimasto molto soddisfatto dalla qualità del cibo proposto e dal servizio veloce e cortese (dal momento che purtroppo avevo l'aereo a breve). Ho preso maccheroni alla norma, cotoletta e torta al limone. Il ristorante ha una ricca carta di pietanze sia di carne che di pesce. Mi sento di consigliarlo a chi viene in città, considerando che non è facile trovare nella zona ristoranti altrettanto buoni. Spero io stesso di tornarci presto.

16/01/2026: Unbelievable view, and great staff

12/11/2025: Terrible Service and a Complete Joke Our visit to this bar was a complete disappointment. The service was terrible — the staff were rude, unfriendly, and obviously lazy. The waiter couldn’t even make a proper Aperol Spritz, yet charged as if it were a real cocktail. When we asked him to fix it, he reacted with irritation and zero professionalism. No apology, no respect for the customer — just arrogance. The whole experience felt like a mockery of hospitality. Honestly, it’s embarrassing that they call this a bar. I would never recommend this place to anyone.

07/12/2025: Unfortunately, I have to leave a negative review due to the behavior of one of the waitresses. Even though we had a reservation, she told us there were no tables available; fortunately, other staff members intervened immediately and seated us without any problems. Throughout the evening, the waitress continued to look at us unprofessionally, never served us, and spent her time on her phone among the tables, paying no attention to the customers. Furthermore, to avoid walking near the tables, she even went down the outside stairs, completely avoiding the dining room: truly disrespectful behavior. It's a shame, because the other waiters were truly kind, friendly, and helpful, but her attitude ruined the atmosphere. I'm sorry the owner is perhaps unaware of these situations, because the rest of the staff deserves to be recognized.

26/10/2025: New excellent pizza, beautiful, off-menu, with bruschetta cherry tomatoes, mozzarella, ham, tuna, onion, arugula, mushrooms, eggs, and parmesan. Pizza THE KING 👑 Beautiful place, modern, very good staff, fast. Clean

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.

27/09/2025: We're having dinner at the restaurant. The menu says spaghetti carbonara. Okay, I'll order it. I ask several times if they make it a little bigger, and the waitress says okay. The plate arrives, along with a small baking dish, while I complain that the carbonara arrives cold. I'll let you imagine. Then, when I get home, I see the receipt. I see it written down. €26.00. I phone. At the restaurant. They tell me their policy is so big and it means two portions, and I'm in the business. I'm ashamed that I belong to this category. Restaurants used to exist today. No longer just a pursuit of the god of money.

21/08/2025: Very nice, I had a lovely evening, very courteous staff

15/01/2026: Nothing special, a battleground location and battleground food, intolerable in Italy since there is good food everywhere and at a better price.

14/01/2026: Our pasta Norma was delicious. Service mechanical. No smile, no warmth. Small glass of wine and I resent the cover charge being added to the bill.
