I migliori ristoranti in Catania

28/06/2025: Intrigued by the presence of a section of vegetarian and vegan pizzas, I decided to try the section of this pizzeria on the occasion of the Thursday promotion in which the classic pizzas cost €5 and the special ones €7. Once they arrived I sadly noticed that these pizzas, the vegetarian and vegan ones, were not included in the promotion (because they do not fall into the "special" category, I deduce). But why categorize pizzas that, apart from the addition of vegetable cheeses (present only in some, or on request) are simple pizzas with vegetables? What is the difference between these and a green calzone (which is among the classics) and among the many others present on the menu in the classic and special sections? The "vegetarian" pizza itself is not part of this separate list, but it is among the classics (and is included in the promotion). It is clear that the "vegetarian/vegan" section was created for marketing reasons (and in fact, it worked: I placed the order first!) but that is precisely the problem. If you choose to promote yourself as a place that is attentive to the needs of those who follow a plant-based diet (with a page dedicated to the green proposal), excluding these pizzas from the weekly offers makes them "other", "different", and not an integral part of the menu. In this way, you penalize those who make a different ethical or dietary choice, and you betray the spirit of inclusiveness that a veg section should represent. My criticism is therefore not so much about the lack of transparency, as in fact if you refer to the mere title of the section it is right that vegetarian pizzas are not the object of the promotion, but the very choice behind this thing. A true veg-friendly menu should not be limited to a label, but should be fully integrated into the rest of the offer, promotions included, without therefore categorizing them separately as if they were "other". I repeat, the same pizzas could have easily been in the traditional sections of the menu (with possibly the surcharge for plant-based cheeses if requested). I write all this with regret, because the pizza was good, and I would have definitely ordered it again in the future, if I hadn't felt excluded instead of included. The goal of a veg-friendly menu should be to encourage the consumption of plant-based products even for those who are not vegetarian/vegan, but this is not the case and, in fact, in this way, it discourages it.

23/06/2025: I ordered two pizzas on justeat. One called for fried zucchini and instead it came with roasted zucchini. The other called for buffalo mozzarella and it came with a grainy cheese that didn't taste like buffalo. Last but not least, a hair stuck to the mozzarella. The only positive factor was the speed of delivery and the friendliness of the delivery boy.

07/09/2025: It's a pleasure to shop with you

07/07/2025: Rotten product and no seriousness I bought a food product at this MD store and once home I discovered that it had completely gone bad. When I returned to the supermarket, I expected a refund, but I was offered the same item... as if it were normal to sell spoiled food! I refused, of course. The worst thing? The behavior of the staff: rude and not at all helpful. No apology, no attempt to resolve the situation in a professional manner. Disappointing experience from every point of view. I will certainly not return.

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.

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

07/05/2025: Compartimos una ensalada mixta, pasta alle vongole y un plato de pescado a la parrilla. Todos estaban bien cocinados y sabrosos. Hacemos una mención especial a las sardinas a la parrilla que no estaban secas y a la pasta vongole. Buen y rápido servicio. Situado en medio de la lonja de pescado tiene todos los pros y contras de la ubicación.

27/04/2025: Situato in pieno centro nelle prossimità della pescheria. Cibo eccezionale di elevata qualità come anche i condimenti. Professionale il personale e soprattutto il proprietario.

25/11/2025: The staff and food were really top notch, highly recommended.

23/11/2025: There's so much to say, I'm spoiled for choice where to begin. Let's start with the game of Cervellone. The first topic of the game is the Kama Sutra, complete with explicit and vulgar images, inappropriate in an environment with children. The pizza was burnt, rubbery, and made with poor quality ingredients. Frozen fries cost €8.00 per plate. A peculiarity of the place (indoors), they have an outdoor women's bathroom. Last but not least, a bottle of Primitivo worth €13.00 was paid €40.00. Highly not 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 👍

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.

18/10/2025: Nice place.... Really nice.... Seats large enough to relax.. And be in company.. Really great view..

23/08/2025: The location is beautiful! Go to Mantegna if you want to eat!

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!

12/11/2025: Courtesy, competence and professionalism at your service.

09/11/2025: well stocked, average food, sometimes too long a wait for tobacco and sisal

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.

20/07/2025: Bar closed when Maps says it's open, update the hours

10/07/2025: My experience at this bar was terrible. They're serving breakfast at a nearby tourist accommodation, and despite having informed me when I made the reservation and in the days prior that a gluten-free breakfast would be required, they didn't specify that it wouldn't be possible, nor did they give me anything at all to eat. At Bar Ambasciatori, they only offered me a coffee and a glass of water each of the three days we stayed. On one occasion, they even told me that if I wanted another coffee, I'd have to pay for it, but I didn't get anything to eat. I went hungry the first two days, and on the third, I brought food I bought at Lidl myself. The accommodation tried to talk to the bar, but the result was the same. I ended up paying double, for the supermarket shopping and for a nonexistent breakfast. A very bad experience with the bar and the waiter who served us the three days.
