In the back streets of Catania we found this quaint family style, unassuming restaurant. Fabio and his Father are creating and delivering excellent food… the menu is extensive, and the prices are absolute value for amazing quality of the dishes. We chose seafood, and it was beautiful, the flavours were ‘perfecto’ This isn’t a flashy restaurant but its food is excellent. Fabio is a friendly host, and you can tell he loves feeding the bellies of locals and tourists alike… highly recommend this place!

Hands down the best dining experience I’ve had in a long time. As someone who loves to cook, I’m incredibly critical when eating out, but this place made want to eat there everyday.

The food is truly out of this world. Even my girlfriend, who normally avoids fish, admitted it was some of the best food she’s ever tasted! The swordfish fillets were a perfect 10/10, the oysters were exceptionally fresh, and the fried shrimp and calamari were absolutely amazing. We finished the night with the panna cotta, which was incredible.

On top of the phenomenal food, the staff at this authentic gem are so warm, friendly, and genuinely funny. If you want unforgettable seafood and a great atmosphere, do yourself a favor and visit.

Staff very helpful with recommendations and translations. Super quick service, delicious home made Brad, chili nuts and Limocella Spritz. Had sardines starter and grilled tuna main,aubergine starter and mixed fish platter. Plus amzing potatoe salad with incredible tomatoes. Everything very tasty and served hot and with a smile. The grilled calamari and prawns super delicious. And all for 69 euro! Highly recommend.

We spent two days in Catania and ate here on both days. I hesitated at first as i disliked the bright light and the cold atmosphere of the interior. But the food reviews convinced us to give this restaurant a try. And they were right! Great fish, a charming service and very fair prices. I deeply recommend this place and will surely come back soon!

A lot of clearly labeled vegan options. The quality was very good and we had many different vegetable dishes (different salads, grilled veggie, and antipasti). A few more vegan pasta dishes would be nice. Staff was extremely friendly! Prices are comparatively low.
