Trattoria Aldo — Restaurant in Catania

We didn't like the service, the food and the place.

The service was not rude but the waiter kept pushing us to order (we were the first clients to arrive). They gave us an English menu (even though we only spoke Italian to them) and the prices seemed a little more expensive (maybe it's just the inflation right now, who knows).

Definitely a trattoria I want to come...
