It's cool and really a local spot but that food is less on the lines of a Sicilian treat but more along the line of an American Italian restuarant . The 'Non-local' wine was a bit pricey but the local stuff is just cool because it is made there. As it is a local place, I will not delve too much into the actual dishes because they change with the season. Suffice it to say that there is a good assortment for all tastes. Hey, all in all, it was worth the experience and I enjoyed the spectacle of locals coming in for their end-of-the-week family / community dinner. If you want to see how the Sicilianos do it, the cultural/community aspect of people getting together and enjoying a meal and fellowship, than this is worth the trip.

The food was very tasty and it was lovely sitting outside with a view of Castello Ursino.read more

Wine was ok they brought out two different bottles to try, place is now packed. Try at your own risk. Not my favorite here. Doris approved 3.5 stars.

We stumbled on MM Trattoria and the outside seating was almost completely full. Glad we got a table for two. The restaurant is right in the Fish Market and located right next to fish mongers selling the fresh fish. We ordered the Grilled Swordfish and the Norma Pasta. Both arrived and beautiful. The swordfish was perfectly cooked and could not have been fresher. It was on the small side and wish it had been as large as the other three times we had it. It was up there with the best, just can't say it was the top ranked one. The Pasta Norma was outstanding and can say it was the best one so far. Came out hot with that beautiful shredded salted ricotta. Perfect. But as compared to other pasta dishes it was small. Guess the servings are small here. Service was a bit hurried and I think it was due to the hustle and bustle of the atmosphere. Highly recommend this little place in the fish market. Would definitely return.

Horrible food and service…read more La Pizzoleria in Catania was by far the worst experience in my two months traveling in Sicily this year.

The atmosphere was cozy, with a small streetside feel, and the service was genuinely traditional -- it honestly felt like dining in someone's home. We enjoyed a full plate of alici fritti, Insalata Pantesca, pasta con vongole, and scaloppina al Marsala -- everything was perfectly cooked, full of flavor, and paired beautifully with the vino di casa. Overall, a fantastic spot and a definite trip highlight. I only wish we had more time for repeat visits. Saluti

Visiting from the Land of Burgers (U.S), This place makes a solid burger and definitely satisfied…read moremy craving. I ordered the Bacon burger and would highly recommend it as well. What makes this burger place stand out is: - Tangy BBQ sauce - Signature pickled onions - a Quality piece of beef patty (200g) I never realized before the impact that pickled onions have on a burger, now I'm curious to see how I can make my own. The ambience seems more like a casual place you go for lunch and not necessarily a date spot. You should also expect a wait if you're coming during the lunch hour. Location wise, it's located down an pedestrian alley, so there are some places nearby that you can park your car for 3 euros an hour. Food wise: this places is a speciality for their burgers, but they also have different types of sandwiches and some healthy options as well.

My thing is... idk why in Europe it's so common to have bbq sauce on burgers and chicken wings in Europe I guess it's like a staple here lol I really don't care for bbq sauce that much so I already was expecting the food to be alright. The beer on tap was good tho I will say and the place was packed! I ordered a burger with some fries and onion rings I'll say that the burger was good but it started to break apart because of the amount of grilled onion and the type of bread they used. I'll give the burger a 4/5 for flavor and just all around experience at this spot. Would I go here again? Yeah I would why not I'll try something different next time !
