I migliori ristoranti in Catania

11/12/2025: Nothing special. A service station with all its flaws. Exorbitant prices.

22/10/2025: I'm leaving a very positive review to publicly thank the staff for their extremely kind and thoughtful approach in recovering and storing my phone, which I'd forgotten in the restroom. A simple phone call, without any waiting, was all it took to arrange storage and pick up. Thanks again!

19/12/2025: I was here in December, but the place is unpleasant. It's a very old and run-down campsite. The bungalows have damp, moss-covered, and decaying walls. The old, dilapidated showers have hot water, but there are gaps between the ceiling and the walls. The rooms are cold and unheated. The doors are old, rusty, and hang crookedly on their hinges. The toilets don't have seats or lids. It's absolutely unsuitable for booking in advance and I wouldn't recommend it. It might be suitable as a stopover (2 nights) in the summer, as the sea is directly across the road and there's a good view of Mount Etna. I gave it one star because zero stars isn't an option.

08/12/2025: Nice, pleasant and flexible owners, you can choose your place and later sort out documents. There are various places and choose what you want and there is electricity. The problem is if you need to use showers. There is only 3 of them and they are tiny and you need a token for 3 munutes. If you put your towel or clothes by the door on the hook you can't open the shower door or your chlothes can get wet. Generally camp need some cleaning and investment but the showers are the biggest problem if you need to use them. Some people use facilities in campers but it would take much to fix and make better showers. I paid 25€ with Acsi which is OK if you arrive from Messina side and you want to see Etna as there is not much choice. Later I found better and cheaper camps. Not that I don't like this camp but honestly I prefer others more for facilities and accordingly the price.

18/07/2026: The kindness and courtesy of Giovanna and the entire staff are first-rate 👍 The generous portions and high-quality, always fresh products make Smile a fast food favorite.

23/06/2026: The sandwiches are always good, tasty, and, above all, plentiful! I highly recommend the sandwiches with butcher's products. I go for the sausage and melted cheese. Delicious! 😋

21/02/2026: Terrible experience. I've rarely had such a bad pizza. It doesn't taste like Italian or even American pizza: it's a flavorless mass with a dough that's a compliment. The whole thing is swamped by an excess of cheese that covers any flavor, making the dish cloying and lacking in character. Besides the terrible quality, the organization is a total letdown: one pizza arrived 20 minutes later than the others. The only bright spot was the waitresses, who were really nice, but unfortunately two people can't manage the place, especially when the kitchen produces dishes like this. Highly not recommended.

10/01/2026: The pizza is very good, but the menu is heavily focused on American cuisine. They offer fries and American-style pizza. There's no salad! At least they have local wine by the glass.

04/05/2026: Very dirty! The tables, chairs, and floors are all clean; there is a cleaning staff. The cups and spoons have not been washed properly. I'm worried about contracting some contagious disease. I should call the NAS/ASL to have the situation checked out.

30/04/2026: Very neat place but not that good

10/07/2026: 9:47 PM on July 10, 2026, 8 people behind the counter looking at each other without working, dirty tables, when asked "Will you please clean the table?", they panicked. It's not clear who has to leave, but the table remains dirty. I clean the table myself with water-soaked napkins. There's no confusion, 30% of the seats are occupied. I'm not a regular, but this time I come, I lose the desire. Finally, after 10 minutes, someone showed up to clean the table. But he left it soaking wet, oh well, I'll dry it. They brought me the sandwiches and took the number back, but there's one thing missing. I think it's due to poor management. In fact, the review is meant to raise awareness among the manager. Next time I'll try another McDonald's.

08/07/2026: Here for breakfast, the staff who served us at the counter were very kind, the dining room staff were a bit rude

07/10/2025: A corner café on one of Pianura's busiest streets. Excellent croissants, fast and friendly service. They also have a tobacconist.

07/08/2025: Beautiful bar, friendly and honest owners, very helpful and professional people, I recommend everyone to go there.

05/03/2026: Good bread and lots of delicious treats. Regarding the counter staff: only the two youngest girls are really good and kind, the rest are not at all suitable, because they have no manners of welcoming customers, sloppy and unmannered. The girls, on the other hand, are truly the best and in my opinion they are the ones who keep the business going.

29/04/2026: Spaghetti with garlic, oil, and chili pepper, drowned in the pasta broth, tasteless. Price: €10.

31/12/2025: I wanted to try this place with some colleagues, but I've never made such a bad choice. Rice with tasteless minestrone soup; I had to add salt because it was bland! The surprise was the price: 6 euros! For a first course like this, and even much better, I would have paid 4 euros. The alternative was penne with ragù, but what kind of ragù was it, with only pieces of meat in it? Sorry, this cuisine isn't for you. Never again, I definitely don't recommend it!

14/07/2026: Too much, too slow, not even a lot of attention, the food isn't hot at all, and above all, too much of a wait. Change the staff, hire someone with experience.

01/07/2026: ALL THE GIRLS WHO WERE ON DUTY TONIGHT, we're talking about 10.30pm this evening, one more incompetent than the other, the sandwiches in the bags (collected at the mc drive) all out of the boxes, give yourselves a big wake-up call

26/03/2026: The place has been closed for a while, but I always find the opening hours posted. I think the website should be updated.

08/07/2025: Beautiful place at the foot of Mount Etna, courtesy and professionalism are the added value. Excellent prices. Highly recommended.

27/04/2025: L'Agriturismo Il Sentiero degli Ulivi, situato a Santa Venerina, offre un'esperienza autentica nel cuore della Sicilia. La struttura è immersa in un paesaggio suggestivo tra uliveti e agrumeti, con una vista panoramica che spazia dall'Etna al mare. Il ristorante propone piatti della tradizione siciliana e catanese, preparati con ingredienti a km 0, come provolette al limone, ravioli in crema di pistacchio e dolci fatti in casa. Il personale è cordiale e disponibile, contribuendo a creare un'atmosfera accogliente e familiare. La struttura è ideale per famiglie, grazie anche alla presenza di un'area giochi per bambini e spazi esterni ben curati. Un luogo consigliato per chi desidera rilassarsi e assaporare la genuinità della cucina siciliana.

13/05/2026: Excellent products, very friendly staff. We also tried home delivery, perfect timing, and pizzas in good condition.

10/05/2026: I ate at this pizzeria, and everything was delicious. A welcoming, clean location with professional staff. I highly recommend it.

31/07/2026: Thanks to the waiters for the exquisite service; it was a wonderful place to have breakfast, sit down, and relax. I had the best brioche with gelato: I highly recommend it, and if I ever return to Catania, I will definitely return.

25/07/2026: The ice cream was terrible, and the service could be much better. They tell you one price, then say they made a mistake and charge you more because they didn't tell you the price correctly. This is especially true if you're a foreigner. An ice cream cone costs €3, then they tell you it's €3.25 and that they can't pay by card.

15/07/2026: The standards at this McDonald's have really dropped. We ordered food at the drive-thru, but unfortunately, after we got home, we realized the Coke was dirty water. It tasted like nothing, they'd put in a drop of Coke, I think, and the rest was all water—paid for Coke, obviously. They should definitely rethink their staff training and supervision.

09/07/2026: Endless waits. Missing products. Poor service. Dirt everywhere.
