This place lived up to its status! Service, food and ambiance - everything up to the mark!…read more The decor here is so different - high ceilings with traditional chandeliers added to the charm. Homely and beautiful! I loved the bread here, ofcourse it came with olives and some sun dried tomatoes - this itself was such a great start. I got the radish salad which was simple and nice along with some app - can't remember the name but that was pretty tasty. For mains I got the risotto and husband got the white fish - both amazing! Finished the meal with some ricotta dessert and thoroughly enjoyed the dinner. I'm not a ricotta person but i highly recommend the dessert. On our way out we even got some pasta to take home and some marmalades. Highly recommend this place - I'm a fan!

Traditional casual Sicilian restaurant in central Catania that was a short walk from my hotel…read more Great service and most servers can help in English. They also have menus in English which if you are not a native Italian speaker, I recommend as they have some interesting items on the menu you may not want to mix up. I asked the waiter to help me select and enjoyed a pasta with sardines, tomatoes and pistachios €12. Epic! The main was pork stuffed with white local cheese and pistachio paste €14. Again, epic! Paired with the excellent local rioja €7, so good. No room for desert but I would put money down it was good. This is a very nice restaurant. Only thing I didn't like is several donkey plates on the menu. I love horses so not my thing. Apparently very traditional to eat horse or donkey on the island. With the Mediterranean Sea walking distance, I would have thought more seafood, less donkey.

For breakfast, there were many different pastries stuffed with both sweet and savory fillings. We ended up getting more because they were so good. The woman who waited on us was incredibly nice as well. For dinner, I ended up horse meatballs, and they were excellent. They were well seasoned without covering up the natural horse flavor. The olives appetizer was also very nice. I'm definitely coming back here the next time I'm in Catania! I'd also like to check out the B&B side of it, as it says that it's associated with a B&B.

I ordered a bruschetta and it was an outstanding appetizer. For my main meal I ordered the fried chicken breast and French fries. It hit the spot. Everyone enjoyed the food, atmosphere and the staff. Warning is you order the hamburger, all you're getting is the burger, none of the trimmings. We were the last ones there and the staff was fun and so welcoming. Definitely a spot to take advantage of.
