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 pleased we chose this place to eat on our single night stay in Catania. Food and service was perfect, together with local red wine.

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.

The ambience was lovely, the staff was kind, attentive, and helpful with recommendations, the menu was very local, all the dishes looked amazing and tasted even better, the wine list was excellent. All in all, I plan to return to eat here the next time I will be in Catania.

Had 2 nights at Deliziosa. Located right next to Teatro Antico Romano, we had a beautiful evening, romantic and cozy. Service was fast and precise, food was delicious. Great wines from Sicily at reasonable prices. A must try is their Faccazzie!
