This is a gorgeous spot with outdoor dining and a connected bar across the alley! Service was great and English-speaking friendly . The pizza was good but not for us, with New Yorker palates. The pizza as floppy, covered in olive oil to the point of being soupy, and was not cut so it had to be cut while being super soggy. I would recommend if you like this type of pizza, but avoid if you want a crispier slice! read more

My husband planned all meals in Italy and so we came here for drinks and Sicilian pizza! Drinks were fantastic and pizza was so good! It was huge and so we decided to order 1 pizza among the both of us - either of us couldn't finish it! Very flavourful yet simple. Be sure to make a reservation as this place got packed pretty quick. read more

We arrived in our hotel at 11pm and decided to have a late bite and drink. Al Vicolo was next door. We ended up sitting outside with a couple of glasses of wine and an exceedingly good plate of meats and cheeses. Very pleasant indeed despite the hour. read more

Best pizza and value for money. The only issue was that I couldn't finish. You need 3 people to consume this pizza! They have over 60 varieties of Pizza. I chose Via Coppola which included tomato sauce, salted ricotta, mozzarella, black olives, Salumi, basil and EVO. Pizza was so rich in flavor and the crust was sublime. This is no Domino's! read more

Rather disappointing. The fact that they only use a QR menu aside, they've americanized pizza. Too large, too much on it. And the one I got way too wet, too. Better go a few streets down, find a small pizzabakker. Half the price, twice as good, I assure you read more

Ok, I know this is saying a lot but this was the best pizza EVER. Looking at you Dave Portnoy- you need to try this place. We asked our hotel front desk folks to make a reservation for us and went straight to the restaurant. You may need a reservation on busy nights. It's off a side street so no crazy traffic or noise. Beautiful outdoor seating area. String lights setting everything aglow. Our waiter recommended the #44- burrata pizza. We really wanted cheese pizza but went with his recommendation and glad we did. Huge ball of fresh burrata on the pie. Total cost of pizza? $22'ish. Delicious sauce, not too sweet. Got a bottle of local wine and it went great with the meal. We will be back! read more

I read a nice review and had to try IL VICOLO. While I speak Italian , it did not matter. This place is a " party" attracting an international crowd . Now the food : excellent with an emphasis on Pizza . As expected, it was a winner ! Delivered with a nice crust and savory ingredients . Caution : the one size pizza will feed......Three people. After the pizza, I ordered the succulent rib-steak. It was superb with modest price. The staff was quite seasoned and all exuded a party mood. Allow plenty of time for your visit, as the people watching is equal to the " cibo." This is a Very popular place... even during the week. Expect a long wait if you arrive after 1800. But don't miss it ! read more

Fun atmosphere. Nice outside deck and the staff were friendly The pizza was great. I got the number 3, tomato arugula cheese. The dough was perfect and flavors all mixed so well. Big big pizzas too. Brought half home The service was slow at the end. The waiter got busy with something else and ran off. After a bit I got up and went in and paid myself. Might be a anomaly and if so, the score goes up next time! read more

The outdoor seating area surrounding Al Vicolo Pizza&Vino featured a red carpet and dazzling strings of Christmas lights overhead. This super popular pizzeria turns out gigantic, oversized pies and other dishes including charcuterie boards and salads. One of their most unique pizza selections was the Via Plebiscito, which came topped with tomato sauce, mozzarella, peppers, oregano, and slices of horse meat (a delicacy of Catania!). We also added on porcini mushrooms and crushed pistachios to the pizza, which was large enough to feed a small army! The most interesting part of the pizza was the horse meat, whose taste and texture was almost indistinguishable from beef. Overall, however, the execution of this pizza could definitely have been better--the thin crust was overloaded with wet toppings and turned into a soupy mess. Next, we had the Dirillo salad, whose individual components were plated in separate ramekins and brought out on a single wooden board. The center of the board featured a bowl of lamb's lettuce, surrounded by ramekins of radicchio, grilled eggplant, cherry tomatoes, walnuts, pineapple slices, Grana Padano cheese, and slices of bresaola, an air-dried beef sausage. Along with the salad came olive oil and Balsamic vinegar for dressing, and a basket of chewy focaccia bread, baked from the same dough used for the pizzas. The ingredients of the salad were fresh and well-balanced, from the saltiness of the cheese and bresaola to the earthiness of the radicchio, eggplant, and walnuts, to the refreshing bite of the tomatoes and pineapple. While the pizza we had here could've been, this restaurant made for a great dining experience nonetheless in a super elegant outdoor setting. read more

Pizza is phenomenal and huge for price. Really nice team, great English. Outside deck starts to get full around 230 for lunch. So if you go early and it's empty, there's nothing wrong. Enjoy. read more

Both times I visited Catania I made sure to go to this spot. Best pizza in town and great ambiance and service!

This place was recommended to us to have the best pizza in town. We went there on a Saturday evening and came prepared to wait as we had heard that this place is always crowded. After figuring out how exactly we can sign up for the waiting list, the lady told us that our waiting time would be one hour. We went for a drink to another place and came back after one hour. There were still a lot of people although it was already 10pm and it took us 20 more minutes to get a chance and ask how much more we would have to wait. We were told 10 minutes so we decided to wait a bit more, Got the same answer several times. Long story short, we waited 2 hours and 20 minutes to get a table. The waiter first forgot our drinks but the waiting time for the food was okay, we finally got our food at 11:58 pm so at least before midnight service in general was ok but the staff seemed to be a bit unorganized. My pizza was ok but to be honest not very special, my boyfriends' pizza was partly burnt and had so much cheese on it that you couldn't taste anything else (and no, it was not a extra cheese pizza; something with Parma ham).The price was good, especially for the size of the pizza but that was pretty much it. Without the long waiting times I would have given 3 stars, as the food was okay, I must admit though, that I have had better pizza in pretty much every other country (and of course other regions in Italy) I have been to. I am not a picky person but wouldn't recommend this place. Maybe I was a bit unlucky and went on a wrong day. read more

Stop reading and just go. This is the best pizza place I have ever been to in my life. It beats Napoli and New York city. Outdoor seating is great and even if there are 20 people waiting they work fast to get you seated. read more

This restaurant was recommended by our tour guide as a local place to have great pizza and food. It was indeed. The plate of meats and cheese had such good portions and variety of everything that you did not know where to begin. The pizza was very generous portion and was one of our favorites pizzas we have had with all the Italian cities we had already visited (Rome, Venice, Florence & Naples). One delicacy that we tried was horse meat filet. It was very tender and tasty. I would recommend you try this meat as it was very delicious and a very Sicilian dish to try. We had a lot of extra food left over. Ambience was good with the outdoor seating, music and outdoor lighting too. Next time, I will have to try some of their other dishes. read more

Go! Pizza is simple ingredient and probably the best I have ever had. It will be crowded so prepare to wait. And have dessert!!

Beautiful location and restaurant. Service is amazing. The pizza is typical southern style with a thicker crust but really good. Don't eat anything before coming because the pizzas are huge. Great place. read more
