A putia do calabrisi

“Spettacolare lo spezzatino e la pasta al tonno.”

Best value meal you can get in Sicily. It's traditional cooking, but you will pay 2-3 times for the same quality meal at other restaurants. Highly recommended. It's a fixed menu offering. You pick one appetizer and one main course, though everyone get a starter, which was delicious. The pasta was ok. The fish of the day was very good for the price. They forgot my side dish salad, but overall it is one of the best meal experiences I have in Italy.

My group stood out as the only tourists dining amongst locals, but all the staff were so welcoming. There was a slight language barrier with the man serving wine, but our waitress communicated in English. The food came out fast and everything tasted fresh. I loved the antipasti. I’d recommend getting a ride to the restaurant cause the surrounding area was chaotic. Highly recommend to anyone visiting Catania.

The coolest place to have lunch, it’s €12 for 3 courses and they are generous with burning extra things. Zero tourists. Anthony Bourdain would love this place.

Probably the best value for money in Catania. 12 euros for homemade Sicilian food at a 100-year old restaurant. Very local and run by lovely people who made us feel at home. They offered fresh fish, calamari, stewed beef and basic but delicious pasta. The only con is the area (we walked 25min around a slightly dodgy area). Worth that wander though!
