We had some really good pizza while we were in Sicily, and this was, for me, #1. We specifically…read morepicked this because it was (1) off the beaten path and (2) very well rated. Come here to have lunch with the locals, and get a really, really, (really) good pizza. (If you're not in the mood, there's a lot of other options - we sat near plenty of pasta eaters if that's what you are in the mood for.) This is the definition of a quick lunch spot, the chairs, tables...super casual. Almost like a cafeteria, but maybe one slight notch above from an ambiance perspective. Not much AC, super hot, who cares. I got a gigantic, ice cold beer to mitigate the heat, and it was a perfect pairing to the pizza. Super simple - sauce, cheese, prosciutto. They even cut it in half for us since we were splitting it. Somehow those three ingredients came together so perfectly that the pizza was almost creamy. That pizza, a 66cl beer, and a huge water - super delicious, we walked out full, and it was only €16. Insanity.

I really enjoyed the food at this restaurant. There was a good variety of pastas, fried chicken and…read morefish and enjoyed the options. We ordered fried swordfish, chicken cutlets, pasta with fish, lasagna with eggplant. The service was extremely good and the owners very friendly. Not knowing Italian in Italy is always a challenge but ordering was extremely easy with a friendly servers . They even called a taxi for us back to our hotel. Highly recommend this place for food and service.

This is a gorgeous spot with outdoor dining and a connected bar across the alley!…read more Service was great and English-speaking friendly . The pizza was good but not for us, with New Yorker palates. The pizza as floppy, covered in olive oil to the point of being soupy, and was not cut so it had to be cut while being super soggy. I would recommend if you like this type of pizza, but avoid if you want a crispier slice!

My husband planned all meals in Italy and so we came here for drinks and Sicilian pizza! Drinks…read morewere fantastic and pizza was so good! It was huge and so we decided to order 1 pizza among the both of us - either of us couldn't finish it! Very flavourful yet simple. Be sure to make a reservation as this place got packed pretty quick.

Nice dinner outside on the sidewalk. We two were looking for dinner after having just arrived in…read moreCatania. After walking around a bit, we found this restaurant right outside our hotel. Table was open on the sidewalk, so we sat down. Good value. FOOD: 3.5 - Penne all'Arrabbiata - Gnocco al Pistacchio - Caprese WINE: 4.0. Only wines were the house red and the house white, both from the local village of Corleone. Very nice. SERVICE: 4.5. Fast, friendly, and accurate. AMBIANCE: 4.5. Sidewalk dining on busy street was fun. Not fancy, just comfortable. Other patrons were Italian families.

My wife and I had one of the best dining experiences of our life at Trattoria Giglio Rosso…read more This morning, while walking in Catania we spotted this place and decided to visit it tonight...BOOM! It was delicious! I think we were taken care by the owner judging by the care and passion he gave to us. He gave us some recommendations which we skipped because we wanted to have pasta that night. We ordered grilled octopus with verdure sauce as an appetizer, it was super fresh and delicious. After that we ordered our pasta dishes, my wife went for the Catanian classic Rigatoni alla Norma and I went for the linguini alla Giglio Rosso ( with mussels, prawns, tomatoes, parsley and toasted almonds), it was to die for. We were full by the time to order desserts, my wife and decided to share one, the owner ran away and brought a dessert of its choice for two! BINGO! He blew our taste buds again! We thanked him for the experience and the wonderful food. Top notch!

Our server Showeb and the owners were extremely friendly. One of our party spilled sauce on her shirt and the owners graciously brought out stain remover. You do not get that kind of service in my home country. They also ended our meal with complementary homemade almond wine. I highly recommend this restaurant.

Wine was ok they brought out two different bottles to try, place is now packed. Try at your own risk. Not my favorite here. Doris approved 3.5 stars.

For breakfast, there were many different pastries stuffed with both sweet and savory fillings. We ended up getting more because they were so good. The woman who waited on us was incredibly nice as well. For dinner, I ended up horse meatballs, and they were excellent. They were well seasoned without covering up the natural horse flavor. The olives appetizer was also very nice. I'm definitely coming back here the next time I'm in Catania! I'd also like to check out the B&B side of it, as it says that it's associated with a B&B.

We planned to go for a nice pizza. After looking at some reviews on tripadvisor..as there aren't…read moreany on yelp - yet! We decided to go to this place. It seems like a small factory. There are many, many tables and a lot of stuff. We decided to go for some house wine with small antipasti platter that consisted of freshly baked pizza bread with some salami, cheeses, olives, etc. It was delicious, indeed. As we were not too hungry we decided to order one pizza to share - quattro formaggi. Pizza was ok eish, I had so much better in Italy. The whole evening felt like they didnt have enough of plates in the kitchen as each and every time our plates were almost empty then one person of staff appeared and wanted to take it away...made us feel little bit less relaxed. All in all - place is not too cosy and as mentioned before - pizza is not the best. There are many other places in Catania serving so much better food, that I would skip it and look further.
