We were the only tourists and were so happy with this local seafood paradise. They made a bunch of off menu dishes for us like the sea urchin linguini

I went there because of the historical setting of this restaurant, just under the magnificent Palazzo Biscari, and also because of the positive reviews I had read on the Internet. I can say that it was very satisfying. Delicious seafood, extremely kind and available staff, delicate music, and value for money. I highly recommend it. Will go again in the near future.

Good dinner, excellent Fritto di Pesce, very well cooked and correctly priced. It is a relatively large restaurant, service is attentive however it might take some time. Lots of locals, guarantee of good quality and authentic food.

Very nice find on The Fork. The Chefs surprise meal choice was very good. Wine choices although a little pricey were good. Recommend a visit when in Catania especially since it is close to the center.

Food was good, professional service - they showed and explained everything about their specialties, but they eventually didn’t apply a discount, which was a bit disappointing.

Overall this was an exceptional experience the ambiance, service and food all outstanding. Our servers were attentive, they provided an excellent pair of wine for the main fish ordered. Perfect. This was my first of experience of "selecting" my fish from the display - could not have been more fresh if not still on the line. I can not say enough good this about this restaurant, I highly recommend it you will not be dissapointed

Very elegant in a sort of laid back background. Food well presented and served. Only gripe was lack of wifi - waiter kept insisting that he couldn’t find the password!!! Stupidest excuse I ever heard - had to rush as needed to get back to boat as was waiting for urgent email - pity!

What a charming restaurant. The food and service was lovely. We got there early so had a lovely 121 experience. The food to was so beautifully laid out and then equally tasty and the fish was perfectly cooked.

Disappointed. The food was not to our expectations. The taste of pasta was strange. The grilled fish was not cooked well. The brought us salad without dressing. In my opinion the ranking is different of reality.
