Fantastico! We went here late after a long flight. It was in full swing and the staff was so…read morefriendly, especially considering they were working with us to understand what we were trying to say in English. The food was delicious and we cannot wait to go back to try dessert. The carry out package was beautifully wrapped. Our first stop in Catania and it set the bar high. Grazie!!

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

Outdoor seating too. The view of the cyclopes rocks are breathtaking so if you're in the area stop here! No English spoken so try your best at ordering or just point at the pictures on the menu!

We are so happy with this place that we are actually still in the restaurant writing this review…read more Food is great! People are SO nice! Our service spoke English and went above and beyond. A woman cooking in the back came out and saw we still had bread from antipasto and brought us a plate of olives to finish it with! Pleasant atmosphere, great value. Food was good. Nothing to complain about here!

We had an excellent, inexpensive meal at Pizzeria Gallo, a new restaurant in Acireale. The pizzas…read moreare made with high-quality ingredients, and the price is beyond reasonable. They also offer antipasti (salumi, bruschetta) and deserts. Beer and wine available. They deliver in the local area. Well worth it. It's in a residential area in Acireale with a small outdoor patio. The owner and staff were lovely and helpful.

Found this by accident on my way down from Etna. I was looking for ice cream, but I was pleasantly…read moresurprised by what I ended up finding. This place serves the most delicious cakes, I have tasted in years. Personally, I had the Sachertorte, and it is served with whipped cream and a scoop of their homemade chocolate ice cream. All of it really great. I had a small taste of the Pistachio cake, which was just as good, and yes, it was served with a scoop of homemade pistachio ice cream. The service was super nice, but only a few words of English is spoken, and only slightly more is understood. However, the menu itself is easily understandable for a non-italian speaker, so it really isn't an issue at all. The place itself is Beautiful with a capital B. It doesn't look that special from the outside, but take a step inside, at be amazed. The interior is all clean and white, and there are several seating areas both inside and outside in their little small and green yard. Unfortunately, I didn't remember to snap any pictures, so you have to believe me on this.
