Concezione Restaurant

We had an incredible 10-course meal here, with every dish paired perfectly with wine. The Sicilian-inspired flavors were really impressive, and while not every dish was my favorite, many were exceptional. The service was fantastic too, with the chef coming over at the end, which was a nice touch. The highlight for me was one of the desserts, a surprising combination of fermented cucumber, perfectly balancing bold and refreshing flavors. The cappuccino was also a total surprise—no coffee involved! The whole experience was creative and definitely worth it. As for the location, it’s a bit tucked away. I recommend driving for ease, with street parking available in the area. If you’re walking, make sure to go straight from the Roman Amphitheater and turn left, so you don’t end up in the less appealing parts of the neighborhood.

They surprised me with each new course! It was by far the best tasting menu I have ever had. The Chef catered the courses to my food preferences and the service was excellent. The local ingredients were meticulously selected and expertly featured throughout. The local wine pairing enhanced the experience. The perfect way to culminate two weeks in Italy! Grazie Mille!

We had an amazing dinner, the food was exceptional and very creative, we go back often to Catania and we love being able to have fine dining experience in the city, which was not the case a few years ago. This was really an authentic Sicilian experience, I highly recommend it. Go if you can! :)

Me and my partner went here on a date night, and it was a good introduction to catanese cuisine through the chef’s interpretation. We took the 5 course tasting menu and we were both full by the end of it, but not uncomfortably full, more like desirably full, even tho we both thought we would leave hungry, the chef made sure that wasn’t the case. There’s many choices 14, 10, 7, 5 courses tasting menu and even a la carte menu, but with order of minimum 3 courses. We were started with an entree/starter that was among many things, also some mini tacos as you’ll see in the pictures. Each dish had its own description and story behind it, we appreciated the waiters for always being prompt to cleaning the table and filling our glasses, plus really fast cleanup of the dishes from the table. I just say, the tomato butter was one of the best butters i’ve ever had in my life, it was packed with tomato flavor and citrusy taste, perfect balance for the battery flavor. The service was impeccable. I really appreciated how the chef came by at the end of the meal to everyone to say thank you and get some opinions on his vision, he was to be one of the nicest chefs i’ve interacted with, even if there was a language barrier, the waiter translated and we got to offer our thanks to him for the special night and also for letting us taste his interpretation and vision on sicilian and catanese dishes. I would say it’s a must if you’re in Catania.

An amazing hidden gem. We had the 10 course vegetarian tasting menu and the level of flavour in each dish was incredible. Vegetarian food at this level is hard to come by. The morning ‘cappuccino’ and ravioli pasta were two highlights, and the service was very personal. Meeting the chef, Manuel, was a real treat too.

We really enjoyed our meal last night. Having a Birds Eye view of the kitchen was an interesting addition to the experience. We tried the 7 course tasting menu. I’m a vegetarian and that wasn’t a problem. Stand out for me was the look of the dishes, they were delicate and pretty. The different breads and tomato flavoured butter was excellent. The pre starters were delicious. Tomato ice cream was a real surprise and I loved it. All the courses were enjoyable. The waiting staff were attentive and informative. The chef took time to introduce himself to us. The passion for food and local ingredients is obvious.I would highly recommend a visit if you are in the area.

One of the best food experience ever. All dishes are excellent, chef that is constantly interacting with guests, wine pairing that matches perfectly the dishes and the service is amazing. The restaurant itself is very cozy. Thank you to all team!

A wonderful culinary experience with a chef who is passionate to share his version of the best that Sicily has to offer. We had the 7-course tasting menu with wine pairing. It was our last night in Sicily and ensured we really ended on a high. Well thought through, brilliantly executed menu which was a joy to both see and eat. The team working there are friendly and gracious - offering really excellent service. Highly recommended.
