The first time was for a lunch, where the salad (salmon, pineapple, and avocado) stood out. I went with a group of friends for dinner a few days later and all the food was great. I strongly suggest you go and try it out. If you're going for dinner, I would make a reservation as there isn't a lot of seating. This tiny little place is really a gem.

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.

We were there a long time ago (2019!), we had a delicious and quiet meal here, in the beating heart of beautiful Ortigia island. Service was fast and efficient, and the selection of Sicilian wines was awesome. I had the eggplant caponata which was wonderful. But, the menu here changes almost daily so I don't know if that'll be an option when you come here. Still, everything was tasty, well-seasoned, and flavorful. Prices were very reasonable and the ambience was delightful. I hope you come and try it out too!

We were started off with excellent bread, caper berries, fava beans and hard boiled eggs. The carafes of Nero d'Avola were solid and a great value. We shared a bunch of dishes in order to try as many things as possible. Sicilians have a way with eggplant and their eggplant parmesan was deeply flavored without being heavy. The caprese salad and caponata were excellent. The fried mushrooms weren't quite up the the level of the other appetizers. The pasta a la Norma was excellent. The spaghettini Siciliana was interesting and good. The spaghetti with garlic, oil and chili was OK. This was a nice way to immerse ourselves in the local vibe.
