The burrata salad was good. The swordfish pasta was fine. The pesto pasta was flavorless. The texture of the pasta was very strange. The Tiramisu was like pudding. The chocolate cake with gelato was pretty good though. Overall, very disappointed, did not match the quality of the other resturaunts we had tried in Sicily. I have had better Italian food than this at home in the states, which I would absolutely not say about the two resturaunts we tried in Palermo. This was the only dinner we had in Catania and we regret it!

Dear Zach, reading your review is a great disappointment for us. I would just like to tell you that the pasta we use is fresh so the consistency is different from dry. Tiramisu is a classic of the Italian tradition and I think we know how to make it quite well and it's not just us who say so but the many customers who appreciate it... it is not at all comparable to a pudding... you liked the salad and the chocolate cake too, but your score is very low. But we accept it and we will try to understand if from what you say we can take inspiration to improve or not. To say that in the United States they do our cuisine better than us I am sorry but I do not agree. Greetings from Carminia and Aurora

Lively ambience in a well located restaurant in a little square near the duomo. The food was fresh and delicious, the plates generous. I would recommend for sure but book as it gets busy!

Wow, after two days of looking for good Sicilian food we finally found it. Everything we ordered was delicious. The staff were awesome. The ambience is great. The only issue is parking but it will not deter us from going back.

We had pre booked a table however, after waiting a while and seeing others have their orders taken, we had to ask the waiter to come and take our order. We then had to wait a while again at the end to pay, eventually I went to the till however the waiter made an angry retort implying we were not patient…. Obviously spoiling the occasion. A couple of the other waiters however seemed more friendly.

Prices are very reasonable. Menu options are different from most other restaurants. Food is very tasty with generous portions. There are indoor and outdoor seating options. My experience matched the great reviews that I found online. No disappointments! It filled up quickly after opening at 7:00 PM.

This is a fantastic restaurant in the heart of Catania, across the square from the Cathedral. It serves hearty Sicilian dishes using fresh, local ingredients. We had a great tomato salad, potatoes in cheese sauce, salmon and swordfish followed by pistachio tiramisu which was a delight. Friendly and attentive staff, beautiful decoration and lights, warm atmosphere and great food. What's not to like?

We ate inside because it was too humid outside. Therefore the ambiance was not very good/excellent. The eggplant parmigiana appetizer was great. The balance of our meal was also very good.

Both the food and service were outstanding. Our group enjoyed a variety of cocktails and appetizers. The baked potato with three cheese fondue was delicious, as were the potato croquettes and bruschetta. All of our entrees were delicious as well. We would definitely go to Deliziosa again.

Very poor service, not recommended. We've booked a table for our only dinner we had in Catania during our Sicily trip. It took 40 mins for the service to take our order since we got the menu and we had to call a person to do it, otherwise who knows. It did not improve since that, we had to wait for more than an hour and an half to get our main dish after we finished the starter. Unacceptable service, that's why I am giving one star review. No apologies were offered and it seemed like it's a normal behaviour for the restaurant. No quality of food can justify or compensate for this, and the quality was not higher than you can get in another place in Sicily. Would not recommend.

Loved this restaurant so much that we went back on the last night of our holiday. Staff were friendly and attentive and all the food we ate was tasty and well-presented. Great value for money too.
