We asked for a table of 5 and were seated. We were 4 present and waiting for a fifth one who was few minutes out. Not one minute has passed, we were asked to change to a table of 4 aggressively. The restaurant wasn't crowded at all and there were no immediate reason to move us as we didn't even been given the menu as we've been less than 5 min. in the restaurant.

So, no point in talking further with the staff. We just decided to pay the bill without ordering desserts. The whole experience is not worth the price and is even very expensive for Catania, especially when the food...
