The service was great as servers were extremely welcoming despite us not knowing the Italian language. They recommended vegetarian and non beef pizzas and some local Catania drinks. The pizzas were just ok with minimal toppings of meat. I was not too impressed. The cheese tasted just ok. Maybe my reference of pizzas from US is different, which ate loaded with meat toppings and cheese so I did not like it too much. The menu has a huge variety and a must for pizza lovers.

Still, if I have a favourite hidden place, I am sorry but I will be reluctant to share it with you guys, see below ;-) De Fiore has been my favourite trattoria in Catania for years, and the same for many locals who regularly came here after listening to an opera at the Bellini theatre nearby. A hidden gem. Great home made stuff, friendly service, low prices. One day De Fiore was reviewed by Lonely Planet and the tourists started flocking in. Almost immediately the quality dropped. The locals are now gone, the prices have gone up, and the patrons are almost exclusively tourists. What happened to De Fiore is pretty sad. I feel like a kid whose favourite teddy bear was first shred to 1000 pieces then flushed down the toilet. Don't take me wrong, the food isn't bad here, but it went from "great" to just "ok". I would still recommend this place. But what a pity.. PS The service has always been very relaxed here, but today it really moved at a glacial pace. After a couple of hours waiting, I literally had to say "I'm sorry I have a plane to catch". On top, they were unusually unfriendly.

I had the 7 Oro pizza which the menu states "Pizza Campione del Mondo 'Pizza Best of the Best' di Las Vegas 2019." It was pretty dang good and I think is deserving of said award. It's always best to eat any pizza at any restaurant right after it's popped fresh out the oven. My wife had the burger, Il Campione. Beware, this burger meat is of "Maialino nero" which literally translates to black little pig. Also known as Nero Siciliano, this breed of pig is only found in Sicily. You may or may not like the taste. The burger is massive and if you get it to go, you will also have a huge box to carry the beast. I can't wait to go back!

The owner is often there and is always willing to talk with the guests and ensures that everyone loves their food. They also have burgers and fries but I'd recommend the pizza over anything else. My two favorites are the Oro Dell Etna and the Einstein Calzone. My wife loves the Educazione Fiscale!

The calzones are a very nice size. You can take some home! The octopus salad was very nicely done. I also enjoyed the risotto as it was full of good seafood. The potato croquettes are more like potato sticks but we're good. I tried the gnocchi and was not impressed with this dish. The waiters are friendly enough. The decor is a bit dated. It does feel like a wedding hall for the most part. They do offer a fresh catch they bring table side. You pick which fish you want. All and all, a good experience.

Unfortunately, I thought the pizza was horrible--which wasn't a surprise when they handed me a menu in English... tourist trap!Also, just for a bottle of water, a bottle of wine, one glass of beer, and four (individual) pizzas, the bill came to 80 euros. Ouch! Just when you fall in love with how much cheaper Sicily is versus the mainland... It was my treat, so let's say I'm glad the locals told me not to tip after seeing the bill... as I hated my salted ricotta and eggplant pie (bland as hell dough, bland sauce, super salty ricotta, good but sparse eggplant), and when I tried my coeaters' pies, the disappointment continued. The two stars come from the ambiance and service. Bottom line: Skip it and grab a horrible 1 euro slice at a local pacificio if you really want bad pizza.

The owner introduced himself and we chatted for a bit about his time in New York and Florida. We had the fungi flatbread appetizer, which was huge and full of cheese and mushrooms. We both ordered pizza, my wife the Philadelphia with cream cheese and prosciutto, and myself with the Peperochini. Both were delicious and huge, we each took half back to the hotel and ate it for lunch the next day. The restaurant was very clean, very nicely decorated, and the service fantastic.
