    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.

    The food was OK but since this was rated as one of the very top restaurants in Catania I expected much better. The bruschetta was excellent, the tuna tartare was good but the other dishes we ordered were very average. Service was rather slow and the waiters didn't seem to care whether we were enjoying our food. I sent back one dish practically untouched and the waiter just asked whether I had finished and not why I had not eaten the food I had ordered. I asked for pepper, it was brought to the table after I had finished my food. The setting was pleasant and the discount made the price we paid fair for the quality of the food we were served.

    Corte dei Biscari was the best restaurant I went to Sicily. Top notch service, Marco and Roberto were professionals and friendly and both of them spoke english, a major plus. Best restaurant.

    It is hard for a person who's everyday diet is seafood to give a good rating for a seafood restaurant. This one scoring A. (Sea) Food was fantastic and service is beyond hospitality excellence. We celebrated a friend's birthday, the restaurant prepared a cake. Easy for tourists to communicate in English too.

    Set by a historical palace, this restaurant is unique. Amazing service and seafood. Raw seafood and Degustazione “Corte dei Biscari” is a 6 courses appetaizer that can be consider as a complete dinner! And buckwheat tagliolini are delicious! I really recomend this restaurant.

    The food is amazing. The service is amazing. The location it's beautiful. The only reason I haven't given a 5* is that I had to remind the waiter about the 20% discount...The bill had to be re calculated (also we had to have one of the dishes corrected as the price didn't match the one on the menu)...nothing major though and I'll definitely go back again.

    The best service we've came upon in Sicily.Fish was so fresh,it's as if you taste this kind of fish for the first time/so differently it tasted in other places that do not offer it so fresh/.We never asked for the 20% discount promised by The Fork.They just silently applied it.Great restaurant,really!

    we didn't expect to have such a great meal. romantic atmosphere, warm welcoming service, fish was super fresh. they've got a fish desk near by the gate for on-sight preference! All dishes are well presented and carefully prepared from which you can easily tell that the owner is running this place with passion for cooking. For who doesn't know what to choose, just go for the antipasti misti - it has got a little bit of every speciality this place has. Well done and thanks! Will definitely come back!

    Food was incredible, very fresh and very well prepared. Staff were very helpful and walked us through the best options on the menu - both wine and food. Felt a little bit rushed at the end as there was a queue outside and you could tell the servers just wanted us to leave. We had to take half a bottle of wine with us. Otherwise an incredibly worthwhile experience and highly recommended
