Mare was just 200m away but they didn't open until 7:30 and their site says they don't do takeout. Well I just walked in and asked, and in fact they do takeout. Ordered the base Margherita and one other with thicker buffalo cheese, basil, and cherry tomatos. Both were spectacular and totaled just about 20 euros. They had the pizzas out in less than 10 minutes. The ingredients were fresh and dough a nice thin but substantial enough to hold the ingredients. Only negative was a hint of salt in the dough as a faint after taste. Otherwise perfect. Thanks Mare.

Authentic, delicious thin crust pizza brought us in - but the delicious food and excellent customer service brought us back again. There is a large outside courtyard for dining within sight and sound of the ocean waves crashing against the shore. The wait staff are attentive and the customers are mostly local. We had pizza both nights, swordfish and risotto the first night and veal chop and spaghetti with prawns the second night. Each were Savored and devoured. And the prices were outstanding having just arrived from Capri and the Amalfi coast. All of that earns this restaurant 5 stars.

Is that a problem. It would be in the US, but in Italy, nessun problema! We walked through the narrow and still very crowded streets of the center around the Dome. The trattoria di Antonio was packed (with mostly Italian guests), but Antonio just created an extra table to seat us. What else would you expect from Italy than having delicious food? And so it was: Antipasto siciliano, octopus salad, rigatoni and risotto pescatorio were all perfect - paired with the warm outdoor seating and the so charming attitude of the Italian staff. Bookmarked for return!

Essentially Frutti di Mare da Nitto is a seafood market that also cooks for you if you want them to. This is essentially the tourist dream. I won't have known to come here if it wasn't for my Airbnb host, but I am so glad that I found it. Located one block from the beach, this shop is easily missed. In fact, I missed it twice because it essentially looks like seafood market. Who knew they would cook the fresh seafood for you?!? Most of the people that come here are expecting to purchase fresh seafood for home but during lunch time, some folding standing tables are set on the crowded sidewalk for people to eat at. Essentially, you can go in the store, point at the things you want them to cook for you, and they will prepare it and bring it out to you. Ugh, so amazing. This place is the perfect place for a foodie, seafood addict, basically anyone. With that said, they are not a restaurant. So if they run out of fresh seafood, they are out. When I was there, I had the fresh octopus salad, swordfish skewer, oysters, and these delicious small fishes marinated in chilly and olive oil. I wish my friend and I could eat more, but we couldn't. All in all, the bill was like 20 euros. Super affordable! Other possible dishes (from people watching) include squish ink pasta, mussels, sea urchins and more. Essentially, whatever you see in the market you can have them cook.

We weren't offered coffee or dessert and he didn't check on us once after the sparse meal was delivered. When we left we requested a cab and the person they called charged us 20 euro for a 1.4 mile ride and the whole time tried to upsell us on trips to Mt etna and other things he could do for us. His girlfriend was in the front seat. The worst of the worst of Catania. AND for any vegan out there, forget about eating. They only serve fish, according to our server. Horrible.
