9/10
The food was beyond my expectations, I especially liked the pasta but the mussels and fish were also on point. The staff was also friendly and helpful and the location is nice and clean. The prices are not exactly cheap but the freshness and quality were ok. If I come back to Catania I will definitely visit them again.

6.5/10seems to be a new `place. as we went very early there was just 1 table busy. the food is overpriced for what it serves. we ordered steak were not even asked how it should be cooked. no sides and no sides were ask or offered. the starter was reheated, and the desert was industrial. even with 50% discount I didnt think it was justified. the service was good but when a group of people arrived we were completely ignored for 30min.

3/10Besides other dishes which are below our expectation, the carbonara here is significantly below standard. I have no idea how this restaurant gets a 9.0 score.
Palinuro • Owner
Salve , siamo stati fin troppo cordiali nel farvi accomodare insieme ad un altro tavolo con prenotazione differente per farvi stare tra amici. E di certo si conferma che spesso il buonismo non paga. Sulla Carbonara basta leggere tutte le altre recensioni per dedurre che avete problemi di cultura culinaria. Vi consigliamo gli all you can eat (sicuramente di vostro livello)

7.5/10Great food but so great service. Had to ask twice for water we ordered and long wait tonight order drinks and food. Good food should not be rushed but 2 hours for a two course lunch a little slow.

Good food but please shape it up. Only one third of the wines on the list was actually in stock. Paper menus handed out were really old and not fresh at all. Just with a little extra effort it could be a full point.

the menus and wine list are available from tonight in the freshest and most updated version..

6/10
Food was quick to be served - which made me question things. As the menu was explained to a couple sitting next to me, I learned that certain dishes are not served with freshly caught seafood but rather previously frozen, like the Octopus salad, among other things. The special of the day was lobster and linguine, which tasted average, but more importantly the lobster was really the size of a shrimp! Main point: not worth that value of €80 for a drink/meal, highly overpriced.

7.5/10Found in the busy buzzy area of Santa Filomena. We all enjoyed our meal here. We had pasta dishes, raw fish, grilled swordfish tuna, grilled vegetables(a highlight) and a couple of salads. Service was attentive. Our friends liked it so much they went twice in one day!! Very good value with discount.

8/10We have a 50% discount by booking through TheFork. With this discount, the value is excellent. Food portion is big, and service is fantastic. For appetizer, we order raw red prawns, which seems a little bit smelly instead of fresh. For main dish, we have amberjack and swordfish. We found them average. Overall, we appreciate their service and good value (after discount) for money.

6/10Although we had a reservation for 6:30 he asked us to come back in 10 minutes because the floor was still wet from cleaning.It was a nice small restaurant in a busy street full of restaurants with a clean modern style. The service was ok and the food as well.

10/10It was really tasty, the starter with mussels was great, and the dishes after were also good (fish and pasta with clams). Dessert was also nice, as well as the service. Thanks to the reduction, the price was more than correct, without it it would have been too expensive for us, but looking at the location I could imagine that they still find a smaller but richer population that would be ready to pay full price.

7.5/10The setting outdoors was quite pleasant and the service was good. The food, however, was disappointing. While each course was good enough, everything was under flavored. We had the octopus salad — octopus was tender and the julienne vegetables were crisp but we squeezed extra lemon on the salad to bring out more flavor. My pasta with pistachios was well-cooked but bland. My husband’s swordfish Milanese was not dry but similarly undistinguished.
