I migliori ristoranti in Catania

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

02/11/2025: Rude waiter, bad service, bad wine, to be avoided.

01/11/2025: Terrible service, a little rude, and less-than-exceptional rotisserie. Too much attention to this place, which is fortunate to be open because it's located in front of Villa Bellini. If it weren't for its location, it would have closed long ago.

01/08/2025: Panineria Smile is a real guarantee! The staff is extremely courteous, always smiling, and ready to satisfy every request with professionalism. But the real highlight is the grilled sandwiches with meat and meatballs, prepared over live charcoal, as per Catania tradition. The flavor is authentic, intense, and truly irresistible. Generous portions, fresh ingredients, and a passion for every bite. A must-try for anyone who wants to eat well and feel at home. Highly recommended!

26/10/2025: Friendly staff who feel like they've known you forever. The place is clean, but stylistically, it's overdone with stucco, fake plants, and tasteless plastic-covered walls. The four pizzas were well-cooked, far too thin, with decent toppings, but expensive compared to market prices and the type of product. The 1-liter bottles of water, three euros each, are exorbitant, and then there's the service charge, 2.50 per person... Considering the location, which is far from everywhere, and the quality/price ratio, I don't know if I'd go back... plus, families with rude and noisy children.

30/08/2025: What can I say? The place is nice, but if you stop and find it closed...

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 👍

27/10/2025: Friendly, fast and helpful people. Everything very good, well-leavened pizza, perfect cooking, top-quality ingredients, I highly recommend this pizzeria, I was very satisfied, I will always order from you.

27/10/2025: My husband and I arrived at the pizzeria, and I ordered eight pizzas. The lady at the cashier was very friendly and kind, the pizza chefs were tidy and well-organized, and the place was clean and welcoming. I ordered several pizzas for dinner with friends. They were all loaded with toppings, very fresh and high-quality. The pizza dough was top-notch, with excellent leavening, and perfectly cooked. Really, nothing to say except compliments, the wait time was short! I made a great impression on my friends, and they were delighted with the pizzas, which no one else can make these days. I was satisfied too. Definitely my favorite pizzeria after trying dozens of pizzerias and all of them a failure! Trying is believing! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!!

22/04/2025: Very friendly staff. Generous portions. Lovely place.

18/04/2025: We arrived at this bar, a terrible cold and empty diner, a very bad reception and owner with a good deal of rudeness towards customers. Experience not to be repeated. €2.20 cents per piece of inedible wood!

12/10/2025: Great atmosphere, service and pizzas 🍕

03/09/2025: We were there last night, and I can honestly say the pizza is truly excellent—I think it's one of the best in Catania. It's packed with top-quality ingredients, and the dough is delicious and easy to digest. Perfectly cooked, the staff are really friendly, and the prices aren't too high. My compliments, we'll be back as soon as possible.

15/07/2025: Not a good place to have breakfast Unfortunately poor management

04/06/2025: Small suburban bar enlivened by the friendliness of the lady behind the counter.

11/10/2025: I couldn't order with those computers, no one came to give us a hand and we went to the machine, me and other families, very poor staff, they didn't care at all, bad organization, for the rest I've always eaten at KFC but from now on, since you don't pay at the till anymore, we won't go there anymore and there are so many of us, I'm sorry, I repeat, I ate well

14/09/2025: I'm giving one star because zero isn't possible. The shop is unwelcoming as it's in poor condition and has zero cleanliness.

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.

12/10/2025: I wouldn't repeat the experience. The prices weren't clear. We asked for a detailed bill, but they brought us a receipt with the total. In the end, we didn't know the cost of each individual dish.

13/05/2025: Midweek lunch, during a weekday I stopped for lunch break, quantity and quality of products, honest prices, the lady who serves the tables very kind and helpful.

04/10/2025: Don't go there: they cancelled my reservation two hours before!!!

20/09/2025: This place completely disappointed me. After booking on The Fork and driving for half an hour and 20 km, they cancelled my reservation and we had to go back with completely empty stomachs.
