Having left its previous premises in Caltagirone, this old acquaintance of the Michelin guide has now opened in Catania, right in the city centre between period palazzi and avenues planted with oleander. In a simple yet elegant setting enhanced by works of art by Nunzio Fisichella (a painter devoted to depicting Etna and its many moods), the delicate cuisine continues to focus on Italy with occasional Sicilian influences in its ingredients, sauces, style of cooking and flavouring – nothing here is forced. Special mention should be made of the grilled quail, which is perfectly cooked in Sicilia

Situated in the heart of the city near the Teatro Bellini and Piazza Università, this restaurant occupies an Art Nouveau-style building. Here, a trio of experienced young chefs from Catania have brought new life to the old “Da Turi Finocchiaro” restaurant, which has always been very popular with the city’s high society. Offering a small outdoor space near the entrance, the quiet, intimate dining room on the ground floor provides the backdrop for reinterpreted, contemporary Sicilian cuisine with an exclusive focus on meat (especially barbecued dishes which are the restaurant’s trademark), while

The entrance to this restaurant is typical of an old residential-style building, giving the impression that you are stepping into the chef’s own home. Here, the beautiful dining room boasts shared tables and an entire wall covered with shelves of jars containing dried fruit, pumpkin seeds and red lentils. The classic-style cuisine focuses on grilled dishes and modern cooking methods to create typical Sicilian meat and fish dishes that pay careful attention to the seasons. The first courses are excellent, including the spaghetti with butter and anchovies, which is served with Favignana tuna bot

Concezione Restaurant

Creative, Sicilian

€€€

This minimalist-style restaurant is home to one of the most interesting young chefs in Catania. In this historic building with beautiful ceilings, enjoy top-quality Sicilian cuisine created by Manuel Tropea, who focuses in particular on specialities from Catania which he interprets in a highly personalised way with a real focus on tradition. Dishes such as “L’Asina e la lattuga” and “Good morning in Catania” are good examples. The chef’s surprise menu takes guests on a culinary journey full of contrasts which is inspired by his own memories and experiences.

The phrase “macellaria di mare” translates as “fish and seafood butcher’s”, a reference to the cured and seasoned fish that features on the menu here. The restaurant has recently changed the way that guests order – you now make your way to your table in a simple yet attractive dining room with an open-view kitchen, where you choose from three tasting menus and à la carte. Our advice is to give young chef Alberto Angiolucci free rein!
