I migliori ristoranti di cucina pesce in Catania

07/12/2025: Impeccable quality, equally impressive service, and unbeatable prices. Highly recommended.

13/11/2025: Excellent pasta nero! Great antipasti too. Very friendly service. It seems authentic and welcoming, as far as I can tell. Thank you!

07/01/2026: The view of the marina is beautiful, the service was quick, and I ate very well. The prices are high, but you also have to consider the splendid view.

06/01/2026: Beautiful location, good food and prices appropriate for the seaside location

11/01/2026: The swordfish was really delicious!

07/01/2026: Excellent value for money. Friendly owners. We'll definitely be back.

08/12/2025: A restaurant where you feel at home... good food, excellent portions, but what left me speechless is the kind staff and except that I think one of the owners is super kind, ready, I jokingly asked for a cheesecake full of Nutella and he actually made it... there are many restaurants but kindness is not found everywhere

10/11/2025: Great service, nice wine list, fantastic food!

07/01/2026: We came here two years ago and everything was good, but now I have to change my mind about the quality of the food (the linguine allo scoglio was poorly made and the spaghetti alle vongole were bad for me). Perfect service. For an appetizer and a first course ordered at 2:00 PM, they made us finish after 4:15 PM. The price would have been reasonable, if the dishes had been good.

04/01/2026: Pleasant atmosphere, friendly staff, fast service, very tasty food. I've been twice because the food is very well cooked and the fish is fresh.

14/12/2025: Very good food, nice decor, we were here last Friday, the food was fantastic and the service was very friendly, there were no additional fees like "envelopes" and you'd want to leave a tip. Unfortunately, today's visit spoiled this impression a bit. Suddenly, the bitters cost more than the menu and we were also charged 5 euros for service, which wasn't the case on Friday. It's a shame that the approach was so different depending on the waiter.

07/12/2025: Good welcome, good food, even pizza

21/12/2025: Excellent appetizers and tasty fish-based first courses in a relaxed atmosphere

15/12/2025: Excellent venue, excellent management, everything is superb ❤️

11/12/2025: Very nice place, excellent service and food. We will definitely be back. I recommend it.

07/09/2025: Very nice restaurant. Magical, typical local place. I absolutely recommend

31/12/2025: Happy New Year’s Eve! Great food and service!

24/01/2026: Excellent! Fresh fish! Friendly staff! Top owner!

22/12/2025: A trattoria steeped in tradition, no luxury, no fricciche, you feel right at home, simple and warm. Everything fresh, everything good, everything excellent...highly recommended.

17/12/2025: Restaurant offering seafood dishes. Generous appetizers, all prepared with fresh fish and expertly cooked. Excellent first courses. Friendly and helpful staff.

14/12/2025: I was delighted to discover this seafood restaurant in Catania. The ingredients are excellent. It's a casual place to spend a pleasant evening. The wine list is extensive, but unfortunately I asked for six different ones (very common Sicilian wines) and they were out of stock. The waiter, however, went out of his way to find an alternative right away, letting me taste several bottles and paying me a lot of attention, even though it was a Saturday night and the place was packed. Another negative was the large table of men sitting behind us who, with every toast, broke out in a stadium-like chant (but that's not the owners' fault).

25/10/2025: Fresher than this, only seafood! And beautifully cooked. Today, an excellent fresh mupa grilled while we enjoyed our appetizers.

18/10/2025: If you want to get the best local seafood, this place is a must visit. Wide variety of fresh fish cooked in truly Sicilian style . Matteo was very friendly and a great host. Just beware there is a little “fishy” smell as they also sell fresh raw fish. But the food is worth it.

02/01/2026: Impeccable service. Excellent food.

28/12/2025: Bad service, very impolite waiter. The place loooks nice but mainly the design.

04/01/2026: We tried lunch and dinner. Delicious. The freshest fish is chosen on the spot with the owner and then prepared simply yet exceptionally, bringing out the flavors of the sea. What can I say... it's worth the trip. The seafood salad with "occhi di bue" (ox-eye) is definitely worth ordering. Delicious raw, first and second courses. Quality local wines. To finish the meal, the sorbet is a must. For those who love bitters, try a local herb amaro 😋

20/12/2025: The best seafood salad you can eat in the world is here at La Grotta. That's not a joke, it's the truth!!! Try it and you'll see. If there were 10 stars, I'd give them!

12/12/2025: The food is excellent, the service is punctual and attentive. The atmosphere could use a bit of a makeover, but we'll gladly return. Just a small note: the chef should wear a uniform suitable for working in the kitchen that evening. It's a shame he didn't make a great impression. But I'll be back anyway.

25/11/2025: I hope I’ll get a reply! ⭐️ My first ever bad restaurant review — congratulations to this place for achieving the impossible. If you enjoy disappointment, confusion, and culinary plot twists, this restaurant is your Disneyland. We walked into a beautifully empty restaurant — always a comforting sign — staffed by one tired waiter and a “boss” who looked allergic to responsibility. The menu? Oh, it’s spectacular. Huge, glossy photos of seafood, meat, crudi… A true fantasy novel. Unfortunately, none of it seems to exist in the actual kitchen. 1. Limoncello spritz? In Sicily? Too advanced. We asked for one and got blank stares, so we downgraded to beer. Should’ve taken that as a warning. 2. Two pasta dishes took 45 minutes in an EMPTY restaurant. Maybe they had to go harvest the wheat, milk the cow, and grow the pistachios first. Who knows — no one thought we deserved an explanation. 3. The food finally arrived. I wish it hadn’t. – The seafood pasta tasted weird, like it wasn’t sure if it wanted to be eaten or not. – The pistachio pasta tasted like sad, old pistachios that have seen things, and came without a single piece of guanciale/bacon/anything edible. I asked for the menu again. The waiter vanished for a bit and returned with the revelation of the century: “Guanciale finished.” Amazing. Just… amazing. 4. They still brought the full bill. No apology. No shame. Apparently at this restaurant, missing ingredients and wrong dishes are considered “creative freedom.” I refused to pay for the pasta. Obviously. 5. The waiter began shouting like he was auditioning for a soap opera. “IF YOU ORDER, YOU PAY! THAT’S HOW IT WORKS IN ITALY!!!” Oh, thank you for the lesson. What a cultural experience. 6. And the boss? The star of the show. We asked to speak to him. He came out, looked at us, grabbed a chair, walked to the other side of the terrace… And started changing a lightbulb! Yes!!! Astounding customer service. Michelin level — if Michelin had a negative-star system. We left hungry, irritated, and honestly impressed at how everything could go wrong so perfectly. Didn’t pay for the pasta. Not sorry. If you’re considering this restaurant, do yourself a favor: Walk past it. Keep walking. Don’t look back.
