Simple but elegant decor and very attentive service complimenting a menu with a good number of dishes to choose from. It was very quiet, one other table of 6 only, but that may have been because it was Republic Holiday Monday. Very pleasant food at reasonable prices..

I chose this restaurant as it was one of the top rated restaurants in catania on the fork app. it's rating is very appropriate. my booking was early on in the evening so we were the only party but it got busier around 9pm. the staff were very accommodating and were really polite. the food was beyond expectations. I would highly recommend if you are in catania.

Very good service. The deserts were delightful. The risotto was good but the portions were smaller than expected. The gluten free bread was very good. Reasonable prices.

Excellent food dishes prepared. to perfection. HIGHLY RECOMENDED. Nice quiet, clean a little out of the way, but worth the walk. Had the seafood pasta and the eggplant with ricotta both very good.

We just arrived to Catania and found this restaurant by chance. It was a great start to our time in the city, the food was well presented and absolutely delicious, and the service was kind and attentive. Definitely recommended!

This restaurant served tasty and inventive dishes and was incredibly gluten free friendly. We had a cooked “carpaccio” of veal with mustard greens that was flavorful (one portion was more than sufficient for 2 - same for all of the dishes, which we shared). The gf pasta with white ragu was heavenly and the secondi - a beef “lasagna” with a layer of potato and zucchini - was delicious. They have a large wine list and a variety of amaros for after dinner. The desserts we chose - prickly pear gelato and an Etna pear cooked beautifully and magically stuffed with ricotta was well balance - caramelized and creamy all at once.

A little walk from what I would say was the tourist centre - but well worth the effort. Chef Dede is a talented chef. We enjoyed the sardines with fennel and orange, Guinea fowl and Dorade with pistachio crumb. All prepared and cooked very well. Only comment would be that the vegetables with the fish is actually a salad. The waiting staff were knowledgeable and friendly. Sadly the rating doesn’t really reflect our enjoyment of the meal.

This restaurant was a good place to have dinner. The staff was helpful, although the wait for the food was a bit long, it was well worth it. We ordered lasagna which was non-conventional, but tasted super good. I would recommend visiting this place upon staying in Catania.

We ate at Chef Dede because of the very good reviews. Although it was quiet when we were there (we were quite early), we had a great experience. The food was excellent, with the fish being really fresh and delicious. Staff were wonderfully helpful, offering advice and able to make useful suggestions. Not only was the food lovely, but our wine was excellent, too. The restaurant should have been packed with the food and service it offers.
