Agricolab — Restaurant in Catania

The food we were served tonight was both exquisite and amazingly delicious, and we could see how much thought and effort went into creating the dishes. Some of the terms used on the cuisine were innovative, inventive, and our mother compared it to Noma in Denmark, where the food is just so special it’s hard to describe. Thank you for the eye opening, gastronomic experience. I’ve never enjoyed vegetables so much, and really love the stories behind your dishes - forgotten wild vegetables and ancient grains, creating dishes inspired by the local produce you come across. Simply amazing! We have eaten at so many restaurants, and few have wowed us like yours has - whilst so creative and inventive, it’s still approachable and yet is fine dining in its own down to earth way. The crowds tonight were an indication of it. Service is warm and friendly, and prices are very reasonable too!

However, the portion and the presentation should be...

I had as a starter an absolutely lovely gratinated pumpkin with a few slides of fresh brown bread, sprinkled with herbs and olive oil, on the side. My main was the lentils: simple and tasty 🤤 and also a good portion size. I was very tempted by the orange cake I saw another patron had and wish I would have taken it! Also the manager offered some vegan, 🥑, hard biscuits for takeaway: some complex citrus flavour that was delightful!

I would absolutely go back here. It’s off the beaten path and the menu is impressive! Plus they...
