Restaurant in the historic center of Catania Fresh fish every day for lunch and dinner and if you want you can also stop for an aperitif! We believe that cooking is much more than a set of recipes. For us it is telling Sicily through its flavors

I went here based on the recommendations I found online and had a great dinner I originally wanted to take the mixed grilled fish but the incredibly friendly and helpful waiter suggested freshly caught "ricciola"(greater amberjack) instead. I wasn't disappointed, the fish was truly excellent,...soft and mildly flavoured, grilled to perfection and perfectly accompanied by a local white wine (another recommendation). I recommend any person who loves fish to make a beeline to this place if they ever visit Catania.More

Amazing evening!! I have visited few restaurants during my stay in Sicily Catania, however Calarittu is the by far the best! We were seated and greated by Manuel and his hospitality made our dinner even more enjoyable. My husband requested something outside the menu to...make him and without hesitation he accommodated him Food was delicious but nothing compares to the hospitality and warmth of the host. Manuel and the team are the best. It was amazing night and I can’t wait to come back again and visit your restaurant Thank you for the great evening! Grazie mille from dangerous Albanian 😜More
