5 We’ve just eaten at a restaurant in Catania and it was a great experience. We tried three different pasta dishes and all of them were delicious, full of flavor and very well prepared. The waitstaff were absolutely lovely and very friendly, which made the experience even better. Everything looked as good as it tasted (photos uploaded). Highly recommended.

4 There are so many great places to eat in Catania, but this was the first one I found — and a perfect choice. Delicious food, fresh fritto di mare, and amazing pasta.
5 Me and my mother recently visited this bar/restaurant. We wanted to try some local wine and cuisine and the multiple wine bottles attracted us to come inside. The local is truly beautiful, the music was great. We were served by Cheryl and she made sure to serve us awesome drinks and food. The other waiters were also very welcoming. The visit was so great we made the restaurant our go to place and went there three days in a row (till the end of our visit). There is no place like that in Catania. Cheryl and the other staff truly make the place wonderful and unforgettable.
5 Beautiful atmosphere in the evening and excellent staff. The waiter had some English and a very friendly attitude and was helpful attentive and helpful. The food was good but I am confused at to if I got the right meal. I order the horse meatballs with pistachio sauce and mushroom and got cutlets with pistachio sauce and no mushrooms--either way it was great! After walking up and down via Etna for several days, this restaurant's outdoor seating kept catching my eye, it was so beautiful so I wanted to make sure we ate there too. The location on Google Maps may not correspond to the outdoor seating area--can't miss it though, best twinkle lights of any side street! Very romantic yet right in the shopping district.
