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!

Excellent little find, lovely waiting staff, clean and an unknown gem. We ate hearty portions (fish…read more& chicken) and the vegetables were perfectly cooked. We would highly recommend it. Not cheap, however the quality was 100%

I love this store. Gorgeous high quality fashion for men and women. Always come to look and…read moreappreciate the beautiful clothes. They also have an outlet store so you can enjoy the fashion finds at a more affordable prices.

Nice size store located inside the Centro Sicilia Mall and located next to Zara…read more You will find all trendy clothes for men and women. The U.K.online store offers Home, Kids, and Decor departments as well. Great to come in and find some reasonably priced outfits, accessories and lipgloss! I don't think very many people know that H&M is a very international company. The first store opened in 1947 in Sweden under the the name Hennes. It slowly expanded into Europe with stores opening in France in the 90s. The U.S. store did not open in New York until 2000. They are now worldwide with stores in Asia, Middle East, Russia and recently Mexico.

I feel like a broken record but I'm only writing reviews for the stores that I felt had awesome…read moreclothes that were well made, not overly priced and trendy without being juvenile...another store that I wish I could go to everyday. Since there are no anchor department stores in the malls, you will have to go from shop to shop. No Macy's, Dillards, Nordstroms found here. BUT...more variety, and more walking (which after gorging on so much pasta, pizza and pastries I needed it). Gorgeous trendy outfits and a leather jacket that I couldn't resist. Friendly service too!

Decathlon, for Americans, is like Sports Authority or Dick's Sporting Goods. Although, it's way…read morebetter than either of those two stores combined. You can find anything and everything you need sporting good wise from camping goods to sneakers to exercise equipment to water toys. I have found some of the best backpacks, water shoes, and flip flops here. Decathlon will have you covered with top quality goods at a cheaper price than most sporting good stores stateside.

I enjoy Decathlon in Germany and was interested to check out Decathlon in Sicily. I was in the…read moremarket for a new backpack, and I have always enjoyed the range of prices with Decathlon. You can absolutely go cheap and go with the Quechua brand (cheap, but good quality) or you can spend more for the name brands like Nike, Puma, or Adidas. I personally enjoy the Quechua, Domyos (clothing), or Kalenji (running) brands and feel they are equal to Nike/Under Armour/Adidas. The Catania Decathlon didn't let me down, and I was able to pick up a new backpack and sunglasses, with only 29 Euros of damage done. I thought the sailing section was a nice touch, as there aren't many places to go sailing in Germany (at least not where I live). Great store, great experience as always.
