Sagré ristorante — Restaurant in Catania

We came back to this restaurant for the first time after the start of the pandemic (as we live in the UK) and we had the New Year Eve dinner, which was made of 8 courses. I had the vegetarian option. All dishes were usually made of 3-4 components, you could see the work was put in the preparation however despite that, all was served on time and with spotless attention to details. Being Sicilian, I know what are the flavours I am expecting and Salvo (the chef) delivered all those flavours with a great determination but also gentleness Jerusalem artichoke, chicory, lentils, saffron and many others very local products were cooked, mixed and/or arranged together in a way that reminded me my past when I used to leave on the island and had lunches with my all family. Many of the flavours of that night will stay with me for a long time, but one dish was emblematic of this experience: the Sorbetto All'Arancia, the way the orange, spring onion and fennel were prepared together in a sorbet is a pure example of the chef's creativity which resulted in the harmony I always hope to find in a dish. I also would like to mention that this was one of my best experiences in a restaurant since I have been vegetarian (I did phone in advance to let the chef know tough) We had 2 friends on our table with a solid knowledge of wine and they found 3 great wines from a very long wine list which were simply amazing. Thanks to the Chef Salvo and all the staff, we had a great experience and will...

We came to celebrate my girlfriend's birthday and were hoping for a special dinner... and our expectations were not only met, but even exceeded! What an amazing experience! We ordered the 4 course seafood tasting menue and because of a quiet evening, the chef himself took care of us! Every course felt perfect, loved the entrée, the raw seafood appetizer had shrimp that felt fresher than the ones we got from the market! The pasta was excellent and even though Salvo said the dessert is probably what we'll remember most, I have to say the tuna from the grilled mixed fish platter was unforgettable! I'm writing this three days after we ate there as to not cloud my judgment - but I'd still give more than five stars if I could! SagGre shouldn't have quiet evenings, but we couldn't have been happier to catch one. Salvo is an excellent chef and we're glad we got to try...
