Fantastic clothing and service at this fun shop! The lady working here graciously translated the…read moreshirts from Sicilian to English for us; she also showed us a lot of the different items that they offered. The shirts are very comfortable (I wear my bicycle one a lot), and all of the wares are clearly of high quality. If I needed a bag, I would have definitely purchased one of their leather goods because they seemed very nice and well-made. I'll definitely be back the next time I'm in Catania!

Who doesn't love a huge furniture store like IKEA? In classic IKEA fashion, prices are low and…read morethere are so many awesome trinkets and such to buy that could potentially make your life easier. My family and I went here recently to get some home goods since we just moved to Sicily. This IKEA is just like any other IKEA except everything is Italian! The staff is super friendly and the store is very clean. Since I came during the COVID-19 pandemic, it was a bummer that the food court was closed. I'll just have to come back sometime to consume some delicious Swedish meatballs in the beautiful island of Sicily.

So this was my first visit to IKEA here in Sicily and my first visit to an IKEA ever…read more....... I planned on going to one in Japan for over 3 years and never made it. I went solely to walk around and see what all the hype was about. I get it now. There are so many practical applications for the items sold in that store and I will have to restrain myself when I go back. Be careful where and how you park to avoid get your car hit or snuggled up to by another driver. Also, you may need Google Translate if you need to resolve any issues with the staff. I look forward to going back so for those familiar with IKEA will probably feel at home.

I have to say this is my favorite mall in Catania. It has a little bit of everything and actually…read moregot me in the mood to shop. There's a pretty sizable Decathlon and an awesome Conad. This should be your go to mall, after avoiding malls it is now mine.

I found a mall! This…read moremall is so nice, clean and unexpected in such a little town outside the U.S. Navy Base at Sigonella. The first store you see walking in is a toy store...so my kids were in heaven! Food court offers Burger King, a pizza place, another plizza place, and another pizza place. A gelato stand, another gelato stand, and another gelator stand. One "Tex Mex" restaurant too serving up Coronas! My kids also found the cutest arcade you've ever seen. (My phone has been acting up so sorry for limited photos-don't worry, I'll be back to the mall). They have a giant elephant ride and a giraffe ride-adorable! Of course I found some shops with some gorgeous clothes! OMG since they only come in size teeny and tiny, I will have to lay off the pasta because I'm inspired to look really good! Also on the main floor is an astronaout adventure experience. Little kids actually put on a space suit including helmet and get into a simulator. Since it was late we will do this another time. There are various lounge areas. A huge megatron plays CNN so you can sit and relax with your espresso and catch up on the news-or at least the hubby's can while you shop. I didn't make it thru the entire mall but I did see an H&M advertised and another store called the Auchan (like a Target) that offers groceries and a variety of other items-I saw people walking out with their Italian cakes in a box-which I will have to get next time I'm out and about. I saw another nice lounge area on the floors below and more stores to browse in. The housewares store that I popped in had some Italian coffee makers in various colors which I will surely pick up on my next outing. What I found interesting is most people had shopping carts walking throughout the mall-wow what a concept when you have so many things to buy! So much shopping to do for Christmas and I found a place to do it! Ciao!
