The pizza with spicy salami was recommended and I couldn't stop eating it. Even after I was full. So so good. But the highlight was the most delicious wine that our server told us to get. Trust me.

La Caverna del Mastro Birraio, or the Cave as Americans refer to it, is not what you expect to find…read morewhen living in Sicily. "The Cave" is the correct description of the place as it feels like you are walking underground as you go inside. Every time that I visited this place, it was never empty, always bustling, crowded and loud. The waiters always seem happy to see Americans. My favorite waiter always told me that I wasn't allowed to speak Italian while I was at the brewery because he wanted to practice his English. My friends and I had heard about this place via word of mouth. After celebrating Carnivale out in Acireale, we stopped here for a pint and a meal before heading home. At this microbrewery, you don't just get a pint of beer; you get a jug equivalent to the size of a water cooler. There are beers for everyone from light to dark. Food wise, you will be taking a doggie bag home. I ordered the pork which turned out to be, pretty much, the entire calf of a pig. It was delicious. Other times that I had visited, I tried other menu choices, but nothing will beat that dish. A unique piece of this brewery is that you can go and grab your own peanuts from various barrels around the restaurant to have as your appetizer. The prices can't be beaten, especially at a microbrewery. Visiting Sicily? Stop here for a taste of of the upcoming microbrewing culture.

Come here for the nice, shady dining area more than anything else…read more It took quite a bit of time to get our drinks. This was frustrating considering other tables (of locals who were seated after us) were served promptly. There wasn't a food option while we were there, but I understand they source food locally and change their menu by the day. That could be fun to see. We ordered wines and a big beer (Baladin Super) but the menu didn't specify the type of Super, so we ended up with a bitter instead of sour. I liked it enough, but no one else in the group did, unfortunately. I needed to use the restroom and they were completely out of toilet paper. I walked up to the bar and asked for some, and they said it was a "known issue" and pointed at some napkins. Like, fancy table napkins. Interesting. All in all, this was a pretty odd visit and I probably would try a bar elsewhere if I stopped into Catania in the future.
