Trattoria La Canonica — Restaurant in Catania

Let's summarize: On the plus side: Pretty cool and nice interior

On the minus: We paid coperti and all the tablecloths were stained Very expensive food in relation to quality, for this price there should be fresh pasta made on site and not from the market Service more interested in television than the ONLY guests of the restaurant, did not even ask if everything is ok Typical market wines (you can buy in Penny Market) and a glass of medium white wine cost as much as 5€

Advice: either increase the quality of the food or reduce the price by 50% at a minimum, you can learn from local street food, they have much tastier and cheaper food not to mention service....

Edit: I downgrade after the owner's response, I have never encountered such an arrogant owner who completely does not care about the quality of service...

Restaurant looks like huge chaos but can be interesting.

Bread was old and rubbery.

Service is not as friendly as I would expect.

About food. Salat wasn’t fresh and with bitterness in the taste.

Portions of seafood were quite small. Was not bad, but not worthy 20€. First day in Sicily and very disappointing.

Last but not least. Way how the owner of restaurant is discussing with clients, shows that this business should be closed forever.

And for your notice “mr owner” - I have traveled many places. I have always looked for local restaurants not for tourists and I was never that disappointed as here. You are all on this restaurant obviously pointless and cheating on quality...

Extremely disappointing! The only way to get attention or service at this restaurant is if you are Italian. The server and owner completely ignored us. They forgot the Caprese salad we ordered. There were only 4 tables of diners, so being busy was no excuse for the terrible service. One of the tables were Italian. The server and owner doted on them but never made eye contact with us. So disappointing. We wanted an authentic Italian experience but the only way to get that is to go to a tourist trap where they at least pretend to care that you're there. Tourists beware of this place. If you're not Italian, they don't...
