We went to this restaurant having just returned from a tour and checking Trip Advisor, it paid off. There are currently building works on the ground floor but there was a side door open so we tried our luck thankfully. The restaurant was half full just after two on a Thursday afternoon, our starters was the local Pasta Norma which... More

On our last evening on Sicily we chose for a nice place to have our final dinner - using tripadvisor. Many places were closed and we ended up at Ciciulena close to our hotel. Dinner was exquisite; flavours delicate and a nice presentation. We ordered an antipasta (that we shared) between the two of us, two starters and two primi's.... More

My mother was hesitate on eating here at first because she thought maybe this restaurant would cost to much but in the end it was well worth it.

Both were very good, but we were surprised that both snappers had only one fillet. I had Tonno con Cipolla croccante e Agrumi, having been told that it was bluefin tuna, but the white flesh meant it... More

I visited this restaurant twice during my stay in Catania, and I am still dreaming about their food... Excellent service (which in Italy is not something you can automatically expect), super tasty food (I enjoyed especially the great (!) antipastos), very nice atmosphere... Seriously I would travel back to Catania just to be able to eat there once again.. :D
