I migliori ristoranti in Catania

31/08/2025: Lately, it's not as good as it used to be. They also offer a very limited local delivery service. I was a customer and moved a little further away, and they don't deliver here even though it's still in Catania and a stone's throw from the old address. You should start by expanding your local delivery radius, especially since it's still in Catania. Then check the quality of your specialty dishes, which aren't what they used to be. The service has also become even worse in general.

25/08/2025: People's rudeness sometimes borders on the absurd. I ordered on Just Eat from the pizzeria La Banchina in Catania, the one near Rotolo. The order was extremely late, with delivery paid for by the restaurant. I called to ask for information, and a rude man turned away. Well, here's the negative review... here and in All the places where I can write it.

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

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.

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!

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.

05/10/2025: Friendly staff who feel like they've known you forever. The place is clean, but stylistically, it's overflowing with stucco, fake plants, and tasteless plastic-covered walls. The four well-cooked pizzas, far too thin, decently portioned, but expensive compared to market prices and the type of product. The 1-liter bottles of water are three euros each, an exorbitant price, 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...

07/10/2025: We only tried the strawberry marzipan to take away. It was very tasty, and the other items on display also looked appealing and appetizing.

07/10/2025: Excellent arancini. I would have liked a less sugary almond granita. Superb brioche. Very friendly waiter, knows his job. Outdoor tables a little too wobbly, comfortable chairs on the sidewalk from the hustle and bustle of the nightlife. Recommended.

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!!!!

26/08/2025: Not recommended on delivery. Took about 1.30 + hours to receive the food

22/08/2025: pizza ciao carla cold and tastes electrogenic bad bad

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.

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: Very nice little bar, friendly owner, super delicious mini cakes
