This was quite the happening place when our party arrived in the afternoon. Tables were filled and…read moreit took a moment for us to get seated. After being seated, we were never provided a menu of any sort and actually sat for several minutes before someone came by for our order, still with no menu. Regardless, we knew we were ordering granitas, brioche, and the arancini. Granitas - They verbally gave us a limited list of what flavors were available. We tried the almond, strawberry, pistachio, and limon. All flavors were delicious, not overly sweet, and very refreshing. A lighter more slush like version of gelato. Brioche - The brioche here is light and delicious, served warm, and is an amazing accompaniment to granitas. Definitely order one to balance out the granita if it gets too cold. Arancini - The ragu arancini is absolutely amazing. It was actually the better of the three items ordered in my opinion. I came for the desserts, but found myself fully enjoying this item more. The ragu is hearty and the flavors robust. A masticating delight of flavors. If you're not a smoker, definitely try to top for a seat indoors. Sitting outdoors will likely expose you to several patrons and even passersby or individuals sitting on nearby benches to cigarette smoke. Overall, the food and desserts here are amazing. I wish I had the stomach and time to try more of what they had to offer. Everything looked amazing and all seemed to be very reasonably priced.

Aperitivo was lovely. We stopped in for a spritz/beer and a light snack. The spritz came with…read moreaperitivo snacks. Then we ordered an arancino to enjoy since theirs are famous! The Hugo spritz was decent. Not the best but not bad. The snacks were yummy and the large beer came in a wine bottle. Perfect little place to sit and relax before walking through the park. Staff was friendly and the inside is clean. Next time I want to dry some of the desserts. Everything looked delicious

Amazing all around! I would highly recommend to visit Spinella while visiting Catania. This casual…read morerestaurant is located right off Via Etnea. It was a very beautiful day when we visited Spinelli and we chose the outdoor seating. Large trees and umbrellas gave us a lot of shade and made it comfortable even in 80F weather. The service was extremely nice and fast :) We chose Aperitivo for 4. For only 10 Euro each of us received a glass of Aperol Spritz, and a very! large charcuterie board to share.

It is a bit touristy but you can't beat the beautiful views and friendly staff here. The lunch is rather good too, as they have a good selection of small plates like arancino, salads and panini.
