Had a wonderful meal here. The food was excellent with a beautiful presentation. They have a wide variety of food (from pasta to meats, salads, the full Italian menu) and, best of all, they are open all day. This is a great thing especially if you're a tourist and on different hours. Most restaurants are closed until 7 or later. The staff was welcoming and professional. They had a great selection of wine. It's centrally located. The owner and his wife were very helpful when I thought I had lost my glasses (They weren't there, but they were kind enough to look 2 days after we had eaten there. (I did find them later.) Grazie mille for their hospitality and kindness. I recommend them highly.

31 ottobre 2023, ora di cena... Eravamo in quattro, io e la mia famiglia dopo esserci accertati, come sempre, che cucinassero senza glutine, ci siamo accomodati. L'ordine delle pizze è stato preso da un ragazzo col quale abbiamo ripetuto più di tre volte le pizze, sottolineando e raccomandando la pizza senza glutine ma l'insicurezza di questo giovane mi ha lasciato perplesso . L'ordine preso era: per me una Parmigiana e per mia moglie una Pizza con funghi, per mio figlio una pizza senza glutine con wurstel, da dividere in due con la sorellina. Dopo una mezz'oretta sono arrivate prima la mia e quella di mia moglie, dopo qualche minuto le due mezze pizze per i bambini.. Mia moglie, guardando la pizza mio figlio, si è subito insospettita dell'aspetto, del colore e.. dal sapore cosi abbiamo subito chiamato il personale chiedendo se la pizza ricevuta era senza glutine... Putroppo non era senza glutine, un errore molto grave, sarebbe bastata una distrazione nostra per pagarne lui in primis le conseguenze che, per una persona celiaca significano corsa al pronto soccorso. Scusandosi dell'accaduto, mi hanno garantito che avrebbero provveduto portandomi la pizza giusta.. Dopo una serie di movimenti insoliti, sguardi e telefonate col cellulare da parte del personale del locale, ci accorgiamo che dall'angolo opposto della strada spunta un cameriere con due piatti di mezze pizze...senza glutine.. Mah! I bambini hanno iniziato a mangiare la pizza quando ormai la nostra era terminata. Per quanto riguarda la Parmigiana e la Pizza con funghi, siamo rimasti delusi, dopo 10 minuti si tagliavano con difficoltà, la pasta si era indurita e nel complesso deludente. Il menu delle pizze era piuttosto scarno, pizze classiche con pochi ingredienti e pure care. In conclusione, anche se il personale si è scusato tanto per l'inconveniente non facendosi pagare la pizza senza glutine, è stata una brutta esperienza per tutti noi... quando a pagare sono i bambini non mi va giù per niente..

Good place but overpriced, I guess it’s normal for the location. Seafood pasta was good but portion was really small I mean..in every other place you get huge portion for the same price (Italy is known for big portions of pasta).. Burrata with pistachios was good but pistachio pasta was with pieces of shells which was not nice and dangerous! What we did not really like is that they brought us focaccia with burrata and we thought it was included in the price since we did not order any extras..but in the end they put to the bill..like seriously (5€ or 7€ on top and we did not even ask and no one even tell us..never again). Overall 7/10

Visited for lunch on Christmas Day 2022. Limited and slow service but kind and professional. I was very disappointed with the pizza because it simply had no cheese on it and also it had been cut into slices which is a big “NO NO” in Sicily. The crust of the pizza was very good though and that is what I ate most of from the pizza. I’m giving this place one star simply because of the above and also being twice as more expensive then Labes right across the street where their pizzas are deliciously covered with cheese. It’s not the worst I’m Catania as I would know having lived here more than a year in the Centro.

It would have been 5 stars if it wasn’t for the experience with the bill. Everything was delicious, nicely served and presented, staff were very good looking and attentive, very professional overall and were following orders very quickly. By the time we asked for the bill however, we had to ask about it at least 3-4 times, before it arrived. No idea what took so long for it to be prepared, but that delayed us with at least 20minutes which was disappointing. For everything else I recommend the place , very local!
