Il Coriandolo — Restaurant in Catania

Absolutely pathetic excuse for a steak at this restaurant, limited menu so I guessed I’d be safe by ordering the most expensive single dish but oh was I wrong. €30 for a ribeye with Potatoes au gratin. I don’t know what they did with the rest of my steak but I swear they gave me a meal for a child. I ordered my steak medium rare and it was served well done and over seasoned. I am a salt lover and can’t say I could ever say there was too much salt on any meal at any restaurant I’ve been to in my life. I would not have eaten this if I wasn’t starving and not wanting to walk somewhere else. The potatoes au gratin ended up being miniature potatoes the size of olives. No clue why they would call them au gratin. My wife got the Tagiatelle which was decent but still small and nowhere near as good as any other restaurant we visited in Italy. We had to go search for our waiter a few times despite being the only customers in the restaurant and to top it all off we get slapped with an €8 lack of service charge. Never again, don’t go 0 stars. Literally the only other people I ever saw eating at the restaurant were the owners who never seamed to leave...

Ho ordinato un menù a 4 portate, una peggio dell'altra, culminata al dessert che ne io ne i miei clienti abbiamo mangiato. Serata rovinata. Nel 2012, fiducioso e previa raccomandazione con il maître, si è verificata la stessa brutta esperienza. Anche alcune sedie erano barcollanti... Devo dare una sola stella e mi dispiace. Ero con i miei clienti e ho mi sono sentito preso in giro facendo una brutta figura. Nel 2013, 2014 e 2015 per non rischiare ho si soggiornato in hotel ma mi sono recato in città vecchia per la cena, zona del mercato del pesce, dove esistono alcuni veri ristoranti. Riassumo: Hotel OK, Ristorante Il...

Pasta alla Norma was everything it should be. Thick tomato sauce with smoky notes, soft flavoursome aubergine with sauce coating every inch of pasta. A delight. Zabaglione dessert was an intense treat to finish the meal. Paired with nice wine, helpful but less than...
