Caffè Europa

AMAZING Arancino! Best of my trip in Sicily. My husband had a Ragu and a had a spinach. They were so moist and delicious. I was unable to find one that was as good the rest of my trip. As far as the other items we tried- the Spritz and aperitivo options and the mini cassata cake and mini cannoli. Those weren’t bad but didn’t blow me away. The cassata was not great in the mini form as once you got through the heavy sugar coating, there wasn’t much left on the inside. And for the price of the tiny cake… two bites was not really worth it. The cannoli was good, just didn’t really love it in the mini form because I prefer the filling ratio of a large cannoli. The service we received from a counter attendant that spoke English was phenomenal! He was so patient and answered all my questions.

Caffè Europa has a very nice location and offers two types of service: you can sit at a table, be served, and pay a service charge, or you can choose directly from the display, pay at the cashier, and avoid extra costs. It’s important to note that with the self-service option you cannot sit outside, only at the tables inside – that’s their policy. As for the products, the espresso wasn’t really to my taste, and the desserts I tried were a bit too sweet. Overall, though, it was an okay experience.

Caffè Europa is a cozy and lively café in Catania with a wide selection of gelato, pastries, cakes, and croissants. Everything is beautifully displayed at a large counter, and you can either sit inside, on the spacious covered terrace, or at the open-air tables. The staff is friendly and service is fast. You can choose your treat inside or scan the QR code on your table to view the menu. It's also perfect for grabbing something sweet to take home. A great spot for a relaxing break!

I had a chance to have breakfast there. Good ambience and great food. Remember that the cafe is self serviced, so you will pay first then get your food and sit to eat.

I got in the habit of visiting this at the end of my morning run. At that time it is relatively quiet. We did also visit once in the afternoon and it is busy with a wait to be served. It serves a traditional mix of tasty sicilian pastries. Staff in the morning are helpful.

One of the best Granita. The place is full of people during midnight. Very wide choices of sweets

The best cannolo in town and great selection of amazing candies and snacks. Friendly and mindful service. I will come back here each time I am in Catania.

On our trip across all Siciliy, we had here in the Cafe Europa the best Arancini ever. Even in Agrigento, where the Arancini originally comes from, they were not as good as here. You have to try the Arancino with "Melanzane e Tomato" (Eggplant and Tomato) and "Pistachio". They're both incredibly good 🤤 You come in, take a photo of what you want and go to the cashier and pay. You will get a receipt and then you go to get your food. A little awkward, but so it is 😅

Stopped here to pick up a quick snack. I had the four cheese orancini and my cousins had mozzarella in corrozza (basically a deep fried grilled ham & cheese sandwich). OMG my arancini was good but theirs was awesome. I would get that next time. The sweets selection was off the chart. I'd love to return in the morning and have a cappuccino and a sweet (or ten!). Highly recommend this place!!

This is one of my go to spots for Arancini, or is always busy of you want to dine in, but I'd you want take away ( to go) it is fairly quick. The Arancini are fresh and also tasty in the reheat.

The bar is in a central location in Catania, so naturally, it's poppin' with all walks of life. The food/drinks are tasty and will 100% leave you satisfied. This joint epitomizes a classic Italian/Sicilian bar where you order refreshes you, enjoy some people-watching in the city, and then go about your day.

camerieri molto rudi, maleducati pretenziosi. Prezzi da svenimento. Il posto poi e' estremamente triste e buio all'interno, si vede che i proprietari non vogliono consumare energia. Sia la granita che la gastronomia lasciavano molto a desiderare

In my opinion, one of the finest caffes in the world. The pastries are a true delight and a testament to Sicilian cuisine. I always go here when I'm in Catania, and I will continue to go here the rest of my life, as well as bring my children.
