This was frustrating considering other tables (of locals who were seated after us) were served promptly. There wasn't a food option while we were there, but I understand they source food locally and change their menu by the day. That could be fun to see. We ordered wines and a big beer (Baladin Super) but the menu didn't specify the type of Super, so we ended up with a bitter instead of sour. I liked it enough, but no one else in the group did, unfortunately. I needed to use the restroom and they were completely out of toilet paper. I walked up to the bar and asked for some, and they said it was a "known issue" and pointed at some napkins. Like, fancy table napkins. Interesting. All in all, this was a pretty odd visit and I probably would try a bar elsewhere if I stopped into Catania in the future.

Menu offered in English, which often means you're going to get your standard touristy restaurant offering pizza and pasta that isn't very good. However, the plates were very good. I got the beef in tuna sauce and the octopus and potatoes. The beef paired with the tuna sauce well. Neither overpowered the other. The octopus was very tender and cooked well, Often times you get it tough. It was grilled and gave it a bit of a BBQ flavor. The soft potato cream helped balance that. Definitely worth checking out for something different than pizza and pasta most restaurants are offering throughout Italy.
