5.5/10Last dinner in Sicily and very dissappoiting experience. Visited Vuciata on recommendation, therefore overlooked the fact that there were no locals and not even a single italian speaking client in a sitting room which is never a good sign. First mistake was when taking the wine - we always opt for a full body red, having in mind Nero d'Avola, but this time the waiter was quicker and suggested Etna donnafugata wine which we have never tried before and agreed with suggestion out of curiosity. The full-bodiness was not here but Ok, such differences in taste happen. Drama came with the food - both pasta's (we took Norma and one with artichokes) were overcooked Norma was burried under some sort of ketchup with few pieces of burnt eggplant on the top, it came already lukewarm and because for some reason was served at the same time as antipasti - was even more cold by the time when it was supposed to be eaten. Fish soup was a heap of clams and shrimps that got totally cold by the time one reached some liquid beneath - and were without flavour. Small ray of sunshine were antipasti - not salada siciliana, where chiliegine were same taste as in Belgian supermarket, but sarde a beccafico and caponata were decent. Another positive moment was when the waiter - pleasant young man in general - did not charge us for any of pastas which we left as unedible.

10/10This restaurant was recommended to us by our Airbnb hosts and we couldn’t fault it. We both had pasta, one with prawns and fennel, the other with pistachio sauce, both were lovely. House wine in a carafe was great and we forced in a tiramisu even though we were really full.

10/10This restaurant was referred to by a Sicilian as a nice place for lunch during the fish market or for dinner. We had dinner there and it was great. My husband and I had the fresh tuna steak with potatoes and my kids the veal with spaghetti and tomato sauce. The white local wine was also delicious

10/10Restaurant has amazing food. For me, the highlight was the pasta’s mix of ingredients cooked to perfection. All the other dishes were very tasty as well. The staff are welcoming and ambience is unique as well. Finally, prices are moderate. See you next time!

10/10We were recommended this restaurant and it didn’t disappoint. Polite staff, great food and the ambiance was good too. The restaurant is set in the busy area of the fish market which is an experience in itself (a good one). This is clearly a busy restaurant so booking would be advisable.

7.5/10The food was good, the service was good but they didn’t give us time to eat and relax. Almost every 10 minutes there was a waiter asking us do we need something, after we finish our meal the plates just disappeared when we put the fork on the plate. There weren’t any Italian atmosphere to sit eat relax and enjoy the meal the wine and company. Long story short good place to eat, great food, but not so great place to enjoy Italian atmosphere and relax. If the prices were a little bit lower it would be excellent place to grab a quick meal.

4/10Seafood was bad. Fish was not fresh. Salad was not good either as the mozzarella was not fresh (most likely refrozen). Pasta plate was good so if I knew I would only get pasta at this place. Very touristy place, I would not recommend.

5/10They pushed us through really quickly and the food was mediocre, there was no time to sit and enjoy. The ambiance was very pretty but you are continuously hassled by street merchants.

8/10Sitting under the famous umbrellas of Catania. The food was nice, fresh fish and a really delicious pasta alla norma. The service was good, a bit slow for coffee and the bill, but the place was super busy around that time… nothing too bad.

8/10Very nice food and a great spot for al fresco dining and people watching. Servers were plentiful, but forgot about me for a long time (secondi didn't arrive until prompted twice) and then forgot my dolci order. Disorganized, if friendly, wait staff.

9.5/10Loved the menu, All dishes looked inviting. Tried the mixed fried fish, a pasta dish and the meatballs and everything was tasty. I also ordered the house wine and I liked it, but I would have appreciated some water to be offered, mostly because of the temperature outside. I do not encourage bottled water, especially in a place with good drinkable tap water.

9/10Fried seafood platter was very good, as was the pasta with squid ink and the pasta all Norma though it had too much sauce, but the pasta wirh bottarga was bland and the bottarga did not come through at all. Mains- the pesce spada involtini and the grilled spada were both very good. Order the house white- its a white from Etna and more than serviceable. The cannolo is excellent. Overall, well worth it.
