Cute little place with tables inside and outside. Wide choice of local dishes, specially fish and seafood. You can try mix of little portions of appetizers of your choice, from menu you can chose some of typical Sicilian pasta and then fresh fish which is cooked at the moment. Guys who work here were very friendly and the price was lower then we expected

If you want a very typical catanese restaurant, this is the place to go. Friendly and professional service, excellent food, family atmosphere. We'll be back when we are in the area.

Small, but very nice place. The staff really made an effort to understand and communicate in English (and in another language with another guests). The pick and mix starters are absolutely amazing €5 for a small plate, €10 for the big. Pasta €8, grilled or fried fish- which you can choose, are €12.5. They also have some desserts, I tried tiramisù semifreddo, it was really good as well.

This is the place where I’ve eaten the best pasta in my whole life. Great prices (dinner for 2 adults plus wine plus desserts plus 1 plate of antipasti for ~40€!), fresh products, sicilian cuisines - what more can I say?
