10/10Excellent food and welcoming atmosphere. High level of attention to guests by all staff. They were sensitive and helpful to many alternatives for guests that were gluten sensitive. Food and wine were high quality and delicious. Wonderful experience. Highly recommend a trip to this restaurant if you are in Catania.

We had an excellent dinner, with everthing at superlative - food, wine, service. The restaurant was fully ocupied by 8,30 and it was mainly by locals, but however, the staff speaks English and they are all very nice, funny and helpful. Food is amazingand they also recommended us an excellent red wine - all within a very decent price. If you try to find a good spot in Catania, you should try this one!

9.5/10Hidden in a small side street off via Umberto I it is a wonderful family restaurant. The staff is very friendly and efficient, the food is wonderful, flavorful and super fresh (I recommend the seafood antipasti and pasta) and the wine list is short but well-chosen with nice local wines at very reasonable prices. Among the desserts the chocolate cake is amazing. The music was just a bit too loud. But all in all, a wonderful relaxing gastronomical experience !

9/10After a long day we were looking for a relaxed dinner as a family. The restaurant could not have been more welcoming and helpful. The food was delicious, we shared various different plates and loved all of them. The restaurant is family owned and it shows, full of pride with the father and his daughter, son and son in law being front of house and mother preparing delicious meals in the kitchen. Highly recommend this restaurant.

9/10Very good service. Excellent wines. Starters ranged from very good to outstanding The pasta with porcini and nuts was the best pasta dish I have eaten. Desserts were limited on the day visited but this was a memorable meal.

7/10My wife and I were a little unsure about the restaurant at first because the lighting was bright/quite harsh, but we were seated by our waiter in a nice spot in the corner and he served us very well. The wine was fairly priced and so was the food, but the quality of both were very good for the money. The seafood starter that we shared was 4 small plates of prawn with fruit, octopus, tuna and calamari. each was excellent. We had different main courses but they were also delicious. We would definitely eat here again.

9/10Only time here, the waiters were very helpful ,I liked the bruschetta they bought us for an appetiser, we both had a seafood pasta. They knew we had booked through the fork and worked out our 20% discount without us having to ask. As with some other restaurants we have visited in Sicily, we are served quickly enough, without being rushed, but, we always have to ask for the bill, which is strange, because being English, quite often when we are finishing our meal, that is when locals are just coming in , so you would think they would be glad of the table!

6/10The service was very poor. We were not offered drinks for over an hour. Our order was not taken for over one hour and fifteen minutes. The ambience in the restaurant was poor. Overall it was very disappointing and not an enjoyable evening. It seemed that this poor service was being experienced by everyone in the restaurant. The young man in a white shirt tried to help when he could but unfortunately he was let down by his colleagues. Overall very disappointing and a ruined eveining out in Catania.

Lei è arrivato tra gli ultimi, la sala era stracolma ed è stato servito di antipasto, primi e secondi, in due ore e 15 minuti.... quel giovane che lei ha apprezzato , non ha mai sollecitato di evadere il prosieguo del vostro ordine. La proprietà correva tra sala cucina e cassa....
