Osteria Garibaldi

Reviewed By Angela C

The place offers a variety of pizzoli and characteristic Sicilian dishes. It is a family run business with a very friendly atmosphere and great attention to details. The service is excellent and despite the big queue for a table,the standards and quality are outstanding. The food is delicious and the personalised attention from the owners is a great touch which goes beyond any expectations! Excellent customer service! Great value for money.. Highly recommended!

Antichi Proverbi

Reviewed By bonus882 - Zafferana Etnea, Italia

The assortment of pizza is huge, and the specials are definitely worth trying, mixing traditional ingredients to local tastes. The ones we tried were called U Casali and Sicilia Sicilia (with obergines). The sizes are big and some people might want to share one instead of having a pizza each. The service is not great and waiting times can be long even with a reservation. But once you sit and start dining, you will forget it :)

Reviewed By Carol S

I love, love this restaurant. We ate here several days. It is so hard to find good gluten free food. They had so many gluten free choices -- pizza, crepes, panini - yes panini (you heard me correctly). The food was absolutely wonderful and the service was great! I highly recommend this place. And if you stay at Hotel Alle Pendici, it is a five minute walk.

Oro Dell'Etna

Reviewed By Printshiraz - Bangkok, Thailand

We went there because it was within walking distance from where we were staying, plus our host recommended it.
We set our expectation for an amazing pizza but found their pizza to be generic (like any pizza you could get from Naples). The service was cold verging on pompous.
If you are in the area, it serves its purpose otherwise I would not go out of my way to find it.

Flora pizza e cucina

Reviewed By Marta L - Catania, Italy

Un locale accogliente, molto curato, con illuminazione soft, in cui i proprietari hanno saputo ricavare dallo spazio disponibile un locale, in maniera intelligente. L’ambiente nonostante sia un’apparenre veranda, è riscaldato con funghi r l’atmosfera è ben curata, così come la mise en place. Pizze molto buone, disponibilità anche di pizza senza glutine, seppur non di loro produzione, comunque buona! Personale gentile e premuroso. Prezzi assolutamente conveniente per un ottimo rapporto qualità prezzo. Torneremo certamente

Reviewed By Jaclyn R - Catania, Italy

We were invited to enjoy dinner at this restuarant on a Saturday evening. It was interesting to immerse ourselves in the Italian culture and interpret the menu as best as we could. The food was incredible abd plentiful. My son and i split a burger and the staff was more than willing to accommodate my picky daughter. While i did not indulge in an alcoholic beverage, the drink menu was massive. Desserts were the hit if the night. Very pleased.

We love this restaurant! The staff are attentive but not overly attentive and they are so kind. Mr. Giovanni, the owner, is always there to make sure everyone is having a wonderful experience. The food is wonderful too. You can find all the Sicilian favorites but some less common options too, and everything is wonderful quality. Highly recommend.
