We started off with some fresh sea urchins on their shell which was something we were looking for everywhere but couldn't find at other restaurants. We also tried a pasta dish and their fish of the day. Everything was tasty and the dish fish was huge, served with delicious potatoes.

Is that a problem. It would be in the US, but in Italy, nessun problema! We walked through the narrow and still very crowded streets of the center around the Dome. The trattoria di Antonio was packed (with mostly Italian guests), but Antonio just created an extra table to seat us. What else would you expect from Italy than having delicious food? And so it was: Antipasto siciliano, octopus salad, rigatoni and risotto pescatorio were all perfect - paired with the warm outdoor seating and the so charming attitude of the Italian staff. Bookmarked for return!

This was probably the best seafood dinner of my entire life. I shared the Antipasti di Mare (a meal…read morein and of itself, but we did not know that!). Followed with grilled calamari and a seafood pasta. Simply divine! The kids had margherita, and my brother a pizza with bresaola and arugula that was also memorable. We sat outside, right on the town square, in view of the sea and the "marina dei ciclopi." We spent 99 euros for eight people (4 adults + 4 kids). My sister-in-law (fluent in Italian) asked our waiter if the calamari was fresh. He said of course and brought us up to the first floor where we could inspect all the seafood ourselves. To summarize, everything about this place was amazing. Greatly recommended.

It wasn't a fluke, staff is really that knowledgeable about wine and food, they really are that friendly, music is really that on trend and food is really that good. Night 1 had a ribeye cooked perfectly medium with salt flakes on top. 2nd night tataki with sesame, almonds and honey with sweet potatoes on the side. Red wine was still on point. There are amazing places to eat in Catania so it means a lot to me to go to the same restaurant 2 times in 2 nights.

I decided to order my cut of steak from the display case Vice the menu. YOLO right. I went with the Irish Beef and it was 45 euro per kilo. The steak was ok at best. Everyone talked about how to order to get the right temperature you want. I found that a bit off putting. Also the utensils aren't the best for cutting thick cut steaks. I may go back but it did not live up to the hype for me. If a place is named The Steakhouse, it has to deliver.

They had the pizzas out in less than 10 minutes. The ingredients were fresh and dough a nice thin but substantial enough to hold the ingredients. Only negative was a hint of salt in the dough as a faint after taste. Otherwise perfect. Thanks Mare.
