Nitto – Civico 8 da Giuseppe — Restaurant in Catania

So disappointing! I don’t understand the positive reviews here and wonder if the restaurant has changed ownership recently - although it’s notable that many of the 5 star reviews are from local guides… One of our party ordered grilled octopus, which was burnt and clearly not fresh (it smelled off). My seafood risotto was so bad; the rice was undercooked and the mussels were unopened, indicating they were old and unsafe to eat. Even the bread rolls were stale!
