Scialati is a very small unassuming establishment with local favorites. Some options include pizza, salami, sandwiches lasagna and cake. It is geared more to the crowd that wants to grab and go, but there are a few seats available if you want to enjoy the ambiance of the neighborhood. The owner is so sweet. We can't wait to visit again as we now have a life long friend.

The risotto was too Al dente the seafood, except for the shrimp and clams tasted old and rubbery. The shrimp and clams were excellent. I had a glass of Messina wine, Malvasia, which was delicious. A bit on the sweet side. Hubby had biere Messina which was excellent as well. The cannoli, which originated in Sicily, was delicious. The shell was a bit thick, but the filling was creamy deliciousness.

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 had some delicious melone gelato that my husband and baby were both coveting. It was so refreshing on such a steamy day in late June. We shared the gelato and my husband had a beer, and midway through the cup the owner (I think) brought my baby some complementary fragola (strawberry) gelato in an adorable little cone! It was a lovely experience.

Ordered a bunch of starters, which are smaller than the main entrees, but 2-3 are good for the table including; Caprese Salad, Sicilian Eggplant Caponata, Eggplant Parmigiana, and Oven baked potatoes with scamorza cheese. The Spaghetti with Shrimps, dried Tomatoes, Fennels and bread crumb was okayyy, but the Paccheri Norma style with Tomato sauce and Fresh Ricotta cheese was SO good! The Horse meatballs were so tender and tasted basically the same as ground meat, so I say explore and try them out. This location is also only a 5 minute walk right from the Catania Cathedral in a popular tourist area, where you can walk around and do basic shopping. The servers were helpful, all spoke English, the inside of the restaurant was clean and had solid AC!
