I migliori ristoranti in Catania

10/04/2026: I've been to this restaurant a couple of times for aperitifs, and what can I say? It's a divine dinner! Welcoming place, very kind staff, all good and fresh food. I highly recommend it!

25/02/2026: The food was delicious and aesthetically pleasing. I had the fish and it was incredibly fresh. The service was quick and impeccable, the staff was incredibly friendly, and the renovated location was beautiful. I personally couldn't find any flaws and highly recommend it.

01/04/2026: Excellent granita and brioches, I didn't add an extra star because, I think and hope, they could increase the tables outside (in the garden) and the staff on Sunday mornings, because the wait is a bit "too long".

25/03/2026: Giovannino's cappuccino is splendid!

09/12/2025: Terrible. They don't give you a menu. The only thing you could eat for a starter was pasta with mussels, which was disgusting. Rude and disorganized. They were arguing with each other, and an elderly lady was yelling at the same time. Terrible service. Poorly set table with mismatched glasses. Exorbitant prices for the terrible quality. Absolutely avoid. Cash only.

27/10/2025: Very, very hospitable. Very warm. Always happy to come back.

28/03/2026: After the fourth time I've ordered takeout pizza by appointment and waited, I've decided not to go there again. The reservation is worthless; they give you a time and then start taking your order when you show up. So, if you have guests, you're making a poor impression. It's better to be honest and say you only make pizzas if you see the customer face to face. Totally unreliable.

10/11/2025: They have lost a lot in the last 2 years or so...before the pizza was really excellent

25/11/2025: After a long time, I wanted to try the breakfast... €1.70 for a panzerotto that looked like a miniature...the crisis is here, but that doesn't mean consumers should be scammed...well...not at all satisfied...as they say, they make themselves known at the beginning, then the quality and consistency decline once they reach their goals...I don't recommend it. The real winner is seen in the long run.

11/10/2025: Had lunch by mistake, considering it's a rather expensive self-service restaurant. Since there are several cheaper options nearby.

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.

15/01/2026: Luca Saro and his staff are incredibly kind! The food and sandwiches are top-notch. Highly recommended.

10/12/2025: A place that feels like home, where the burger is exactly the "best burger in New York" as they say in "How I Met Your Mother." The place is well-kept, and the table service always pampers you. Congratulations to whoever created all this, thank you, we needed it.

11/04/2026: The best wood-fired pizza with fresh ingredients. Excellent value for money. We could eat in the courtyard, order takeout, but eating at the counter was mandatory. The guys were super friendly, even if their English wasn't perfect. The restaurant seems to be popular with locals, as they offer delivery and takeout. Since the restaurant is located on the street and in the Nettuno Park area, it was quite noisy outside, and also in the courtyard.

07/11/2025: I ordered two types of pizza to see the difference and they were very tasty. Good service and the price is right. I recommend this pizzeria. Big like 👍

09/04/2026: Delicious coffee and great service. Italian atmosphere.

06/01/2026: Very friendly staff, delicious breakfasts and excellent coffee, thank you ❤️

05/01/2026: I've always been a regular, but after the last experience, I've decided I won't be returning. We waited two hours for a pizza and two grilled dishes, which turned out to be unpresentable, as what we were served was far from their classic grilled dish (I'm attaching a before and after photo, the same dish from a year ago and three months ago). The store-bought burger tasted like cardboard, the pistachio didn't taste like pistachio, even though that was their specialty until a few years ago. It was delicious, and that's what we came for. The photo speaks for itself. In all this, after two hours of waiting, we saw dishes arriving for those who had arrived much later than us, simply because we were "waiting for the grilled dish," a ridiculous excuse because you can already tell from the dish how long it takes to prepare it. The bruschetta appetizer arrived with the main courses. Those who had pizza had to eat it cold because the grilled dishes arrived after another 20 minutes. The service was disorganized and the food quality was far from what it used to be. Not even a "sorry." You've lost 3 regulars. A real disappointment. Absolutely not recommended.

02/01/2026: I ordered sandwich number 9. The only good thing was the packaging, the bread was very hard, I'd say stale, there were no sauces as stated on the menu, and the mushrooms weren't the ones specified on the menu (they were pleurotus instead of cardoncelli). It also arrived 50 minutes late, but on the phone they initially told me it was 15 minutes late, and then they didn't even pick up the phone. I don't recommend it; they're not very serious and the food is of poor quality.

30/11/2025: Fantastic, delicious products. The schiacciatelle are top notch. Try the focaccia bread and the pizza...delicious. Loredana and her husband are welcoming and very friendly.

31/08/2025: Madonna delle Lacrime Bakery is truly excellent! Fragrant bread, always fresh and fragrant, with a quality you can recognize from the first bite. In addition to bread, the pizzas, focaccias, and baked goods are also delicious, prepared with care and using genuine ingredients. The atmosphere is welcoming, and the staff is kind and helpful, always ready to serve with a smile. A must-have for those who love authentic, traditional flavors. Highly recommended! 🥖✨

28/10/2025: In sandwiches with so little said about something it seems that double is said

17/10/2025: The best sandwich in Catania and its province

23/12/2025: Everything is terrible! They cook it poorly. The meat is not trimmed of excess skin before cooking; it's cooked through just as it was cut.

14/11/2025: Excellent experience, good food, superior quality to the competition, very kind staff, especially a special thanks to Ester, super friendly and smiling with customers, we will definitely be back.

03/11/2025: I'm giving one star because the staff wasn't friendly, the cookie looked like pizza because it was so thin and crispy, a 20 minute wait for a tub of chips

03/09/2025: Excellent pizzas, even gluten-free ones

13/08/2025: Lido in Santa Tecla, not a pretentious beach but it does its job Showers are available Sunbeds and umbrellas are on a wooden platform Access to the sea (rocks) with a walkway Three sunbeds and an umbrella for €30, definitely affordable Lunch is less affordable and very trendy, but you're right on the beach Two plates of spaghetti with clams A grilled squid, a tea, a glass of wine, two coffees, and three small bottles of water for €62

12/08/2025: The place isn't very pretentious, but it allows you to enjoy a swim with the comfort of a lounger and umbrella and a freshwater shower for €10 per person (August 12). We ate there at the lido, served by a very courteous gentleman. 2 spaghetti with clams, good though not exceptional. Roasted cuttlefish, delicious. A glass of wine, good. 2 coffees and 3 waters total €62. Lunch isn't exactly cheap. The service is quite sketchy, as is the location. The gentleman, who is very attentive and super kind, gives us a star for that. I repeat, for €10 per person we couldn't have asked for better. Ice cream vendors often pass by with gelato and granitas, two minutes down the road, and from the lounger and the sea you can see Mount Etna. It's worth it.
