My go to spot for sushi. The drinks are A1 and the customer service is top notch. I definitely recommend

Oxidiana was tastefully wonderful. (I'm not certain, but I think the word oxidiana means layers, such as volcanic glass. Assuming because of the volcanic history of activity nearby?) So my guess is possibly because the restaurant has layers of goodness? Anyway, if you live here or are simply traveling through Catania and looking for something other than Italian, you'll be happy to try Oxidana's. Their portion sizes are enough to share!! The staff and service were spot on. I've added only two photos, but you cannot go wrong with anything you order. Trust me, we watched every dish as it came out. I would suggest making a reservation. We did so on their website. It was very crowded. It was a taste to remember. read more

Oxidiana - Japanese Near Me - Catania, Connecticut

See all

You're in Sicily, you've lived here for a long while now and you are craving some Japanese. If you can take driving into the middle of Catania at night, when most people in the area are there and traffic is horrendous, then head over to Oxidiana. My boss, my coworker, and I were all trying to do dinner together every other month or so. We saw each other every day at work, but we'd always try to plan something outside work to do together. Food, of some sort, is usually what we'd end up doing. Both of them had been to Oxidiana before, but I had not. I'm also a terrible person to take to a restaurant whose main fare is sushi because I'm one of those very few people that does not care for it. Luckily, the restaurant offers more than just sushi, but I will say that I've seen a lot of sushi in my lifetime, and this looked like some of the best that I've seen outside of the East Pacific. As for the non-sushi menu, Oxidiana offers tempura, sukiyaki, okonomiyaki, and a few other dishes. I settled for some beef negimaki and tempura vegetables. The scallions were fresh and still had a bit of a crunch, which I like and the beef was juicy and rich. I loved that I had enough of the juice left from the beef to add to my rice. The only drawback on Oxidiana is the price, especially when you consider the fact that you are paying in euros and you calculate it out. The place is not lacking in business, though, it was crowded when we were there and another set of customers was sat at our table as we were walking towards the door. read more

Oxidiana is a classy island in Catania. A nice American bar is the first thing you'll find walking in. I had a perfectly made martini dry, before one of the most tasteful dinner I've ever had. The food (and there's more than sushi, as their motto says) is fresh and of very good quality, the sushi chefs are JAPANESE (check it out!) and the personnel is welcoming, very friendly and extremely polite. Better to book in advance as the place seemed to be quite busy. If you are in Catania and you like sushi and fish, this is definitely the place to be! read more

Sushi is pretty good. Been to a couple sushi places here and this one is way too pricey ( 15 US dollars for a 8 piece CALIFORNIA roll) and the service isn't that great either. If you're in town for sushi, I wouldn't recommend this place. Atmosphere is nice though. And the drinks are good too. read more

The food was very delicious. High priced, 14€ for a California roll just for reference. The one drink I had was very good, however the service was poor. Would have liked more drinks but was never checked up on by staff after initial order. There are better sushi joints in Catania. read more

It's a little on the pricey side (we dropped 215 Euro on 3 adults and 1 child) but it's worth every cent, and in fact, I'd have paid a lot more for the quality of food and service we got. The most helpful, attentive wait staff I've ever encountered in Sicily, and I lived there for 7 years. The food was absolutely amazing. The bar is stocked with everything and the bartenders made great drinks (we had strawberry frozen margs and Long Island ice teas). The fried soft-shell crab rolls were simply amazing. Go to this restaurant for the best sushi in all of Italy. read more

The food is delicious and they have great drinks. Every time I come to Sicily I have to eat here
