It wasn't a fluke, staff is really that knowledgeable about wine and food, they really are that friendly, music is really that on trend and food is really that good. Night 1 had a ribeye cooked perfectly medium with salt flakes on top. 2nd night tataki with sesame, almonds and honey with sweet potatoes on the side. Red wine was still on point. There are amazing places to eat in Catania so it means a lot to me to go to the same restaurant 2 times in 2 nights.

I decided to order my cut of steak from the display case Vice the menu. YOLO right. I went with the Irish Beef and it was 45 euro per kilo. The steak was ok at best. Everyone talked about how to order to get the right temperature you want. I found that a bit off putting. Also the utensils aren't the best for cutting thick cut steaks. I may go back but it did not live up to the hype for me. If a place is named The Steakhouse, it has to deliver.

It was a large plate with a grilled thin steak (like a…read moregiant cutlet or thick slice of roast beef), a large, horse meatball , grilled sausage and cipollata (bacon-wrapped green onion) The food was all good and they brought over a basket of bread and the tray with seasoning condiments (salt, pepper, olive oil, hot pepper oil, balsamic vinegar) which I used in different combinations for my platter of meats & grilled veggies. The food was tasty even without condiments though. Also, I ordered a melon & prosciutto antipasto (appetizer), the grilled mixed vegetable side dish, and an awesome pistachio tiramisu for dessert. All the dishes were very reasonably priced. As there was no breeze on this hot day, I decided to dine inside and the manager turned the A/C on for me. The restaurant is a stones throw from Ursino Castel and I five minute walk from S. Agata's Cathedral Square. Highly recommended!

Also ordered calamari and steamed clam, they are plump and juicy, the portions are amazingly huge, what a seafood feast at incredible bargain.

It was "early" for dinner but the server treated us warmly. They had two draft beers and offered a taste sample. Our order was the blonde ale, some wings, beef short ribs and a bacon cheeseburger (I know- "American food in Sicily, what were we thinking). The wings (7 pieces) were hot and delicious served with three sauces. Our entrees arrived and to our amazement, the beef ribs were fork tender and delicious. The burger was cooked perfect with a house made sauce - also delicious. The long and short is the locals have an amazing, "American style" smokehouse dining option that would be a big success in the BBQ locations in the US. Strongly suggest you check it out!

The speciality of the house is horse meat, cooked in many different ways. We got a rib and a lemony meatball, both were actually pretty good, not very gamey but the meat tends to be more tough than your typical beef. We also had their pork sausage and a couple of side salads. The meat is all cooked out on the grill outside the restaurant's entrance, so you actually get to watch your meat getting cooked. The bill was not cheap (50€ total) but it was definitely worth the experience.

The wifi is bad on the roof but the breeze is nice ( the corner to the left when you walk up is best for breeze and wifi). They have a live band from time to time and always polite servers. I recommend this as your place for Americans to get some beef after a long European travel. The burgers are great and vast in variety. And the salads are very good too. There is also a steakhouse menu they some times forget to insert. For the local tastes, get the panelle, a fried chickpea brick (familiar to Indian food lovers as a fried besan). Rare steak is not a special request in my experience, so be sure to ask for exactly how you'd like it. Go there and go again, but not at 11 am, they're not open that early :(
