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

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!

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.

Situated in the heart of the city near the Teatro Bellini and Piazza Università, this restaurant occupies an Art Nouveau-style building.
