"I would have given 0, but that wasn’t an option. I have never written a review before (promise) and even thought people who did had too much time on their hands. However, I went to this place today, based on the fact it appears in a book my boyfriend has called ‘Where Chefs Eat’. The book has led us to some of the most incredible meals we have ever had whilst travelling, which I would say are some of the best meals I have ever had. So, we arrived and were seated promptly. Fine. The food came at a reasonable pace. The good ends there. I have been living in Italy for over a year and I have to say it’s the most bland food I have had since I landed. I am even counting the terrible little restaurants we have stopped at along the roadside. We had caponata (one of my favourite dishes in Italy, ever) which tasted ridiculously sweet and a vongole pasta which was the blandest pasta I have had since being in Italy. The grilled octopus was mediocre at best and was the only dish that made it anywhere near a passable meal. 4 days before we ate at a Michelin place in Agrigento which cost €60 (incl wine) where we had a hell of a lot more food and a much warmer welcome. The entire dinner (bottle of wine, one pasta, one cortoni and one starter) at this place cost us €58. What annoys me isn’t the absolutely terrible quality of the food. What annoys me is that we received the worst service I have ever had in Italy. Or, more to the point, ever. I asked for the bill at least 3 times (although they had tried to take our plates multiple times to free our table, well before we were finished) and whilst we waited over 10-15 mins each time, I was repeatedly asked to ‘relax’. I can speak Italian, and our waiter could speak fluent English, so each time being asked to ‘relax’ whilst also being asked to vacate our table was, to say the least, frustrating. It was only when my boyfriend asked for the bill that it finally arrived. As I say, ‘Where Chefs Eat’ has never steered us wrong before, but this time, I really wish I had listened to the terrible review I read online. Rude staff and sub-par food. DO. NOT. BOTHER."

We only had one dish here, the lentil and fish soup, and it was wonderful. There was some confusion about the menu, and the waitor could not answer questions. Prices are a little high, too.

A due ma veramente due passi dalla pescheria ho trovato questo locale. Piatti squisiti cucinati con ingredienti di ottima qualità. Personale veramente simpatico ed efficiente. Assolutamente consigliato

Si mangia bene e non si paga più di quanto non ci si aspetti ed il posto poi è molto caratteristico, proprio nel cuore del mercato del pesce. I piatti sono fondamentalmente quelli della tradizione e sono fatti bene. Se siete in città, provatelo che ne vale davvero la pena.

Molto caratteristica la location, abbiamo mangiato bene e pagato un prezzo onesto. Abbiamo mangiato una originale e gustosissima parmiggiana al pesce spada, una frittura di paranza con pesce freschissimo, una frittura dii calamari e polpo, una pepata di cozze alla quale mancava la parola.

passeggiando in zona mercato c siamo imbattuti in questa trattoria e.. vinto tutto! Vino della casa e giro di antipasti, tutto davvero molto buono, semplice ma buonissimo. L’oste ci ha pure omaggiato di un fritto di paranza grazie davvero!! Non capita mai ed è stato un gesto TOP! Per concludere un ottimo mini cannolo con amaro dell’etna. Torneremo

Amazing quality food! The owner/chef came and sat down next to us and gave us suggestions on what order, recommended a few different appetizers, which were amazing! He even told us how to eat it. Like what order to eat the food in to have the best flavor pairing. Very very friendly staff overall. Super quick, super good, 10/10 would recommend. -Pineapple/Strawberry Cheesecake -Grilled Squid

This restaurant is located in Catania Fish Market, Pescheria. It is centrally located and very touristy. The prices are a bit high and the portions small. The wine is served in small paper cups and no more than 2-3 sips. The fried calamari and octopus was very crispy, warm and chewy. Not what you'd expect in the Catania fresh fish market. The service was fast and attentive. Should be a 2nd or 3rd choice. View menu

Un posto già conosciuto ma che mantiene una qualità indiscussa. Posizionato nel mercato del pesce di Catania dove regna il vociare e le prelibatezze dei pescivendoli. Il menu propone le ricchezze del mare. I piatti sono semplici e gustosi. Eccezionale la parmigiana di spada. Buone le sarde beccafico. Eccellente la tagliata di tonno. Servizio veloce e cortese. Prezzo giusto che rispecchia la bontà del prodotto primo.

Esperienza nel complesso positiva, cibo buono che rispetta la tradizione catanese, veramente buoni gli arancini al nero e la parmigiana di pesce spada. La frittura poteva essere più croccante, gusti e qualità rispettati. Un po' caro il piatto principale a 16€ considerato che dovrebbe essere uno street food, piatti usa e getta e anche il vino nel bicchiere di carta. Consigliato e alla prossima nella speranza di dare 5* (qualche confusione anche in sala tra ai ragazzi)
