We went to this place for New Year's Eve- The venue was…read moreextremely small and overcrowded -- we could barely move. It felt genuinely dangerous. The servers were walking around with bottles of champagne topped with sparkling candles, creating a serious fire hazard. If anything had gone wrong, there was absolutely no safe way to exit. We paid 80 dollars just to get in at 1 a.m., and once inside we couldn't dance or even enjoy a drink because the space was so cramped. I felt completely unsafe the entire time. We ended up standing and dancing near the door just so we wouldn't risk being trapped in case of an emergency. I do not recommend this place. A horrible experience with zero regard for safety.

We got there around 9 pm and the minimum spend was 30 euro pp. As the night gets later, the minimum spend goes up. We were sat in the beautiful garden area. Cocktails range on average 15-20 euro.

A modern new Italian restaurant, IN Italy. The Catanians…read moreand Americans are raving about this new place that only recently opened... it's up there with that cool restaurant under a Hostel that has a stream running through it. What you'll get at Ritz: Little tiny pizzeta's... presumably made from the pizza dough, but baked to cracker crunchiness, full size pizza's, ample appetizers and actual cocktails that are hard to find in Italy. You'll be doing yourself a favor if you try the spritz here, it's not quite as "orange-y" as the one's you'll get elsewhere.

He made a Manhattan with Campari, si singularity the best drink I have ever had. The hostess was fantastic, the waitress were Princeton ballerinas the pizza was sublime, I think I would go back to Catania just to have Marco make me another cocktail.

We had a day lounging at the beach, so we wanted a more "elevated" nighttime experience. We were dolled up, had a hankering for good cocktails and people watching.
