Concezione Restaurant

It was amazing! Professionals! The entire staff is creative! A visit to this restaurant isn't about the food, it's a journey of feelings and emotions! It's a new discovery within yourself. Everything about this place is perfect from the moment you walk in and are greeted by two people who will accompany you throughout this journey of discovery. The chef oversees the entire process and surprises you with his team! You will definitely get more than you expect!

An absolutely outstanding dining experience. From the very first moment you feel completely taken care of at Concezione. The team is young, dynamic and incredibly attentive. You are warmly looked after, expertly advised and genuinely valued as a guest. The cuisine is top notch: creative, diverse and beautifully presented. What impressed me most was the generosity as extra courses are served that surprise and delight, making the evening truly special. Concezione is more than just a dinner, it is an unforgettable experience. If you are in Catania this place is a must. Highly and wholeheartedly recommended.

Our visit to the restaurant captures a creative Sicilian culinary experience. The chef masters in desserts and prepares dishes in a beautiful way. That said the service and food in general, unfortunately, did not meet our standards to a luxurious restaurant given the cost. For example, there were no hand wipes, even though we were presented with quite a lot of finger foods. We were also rushed for a couple times when ordering and when switching dishes. In addition, maybe we have higher standards from visiting restaurants around the world, the food here definitely disappoints our expectation. The presentation was great, but taste was mediocre at best. There are also many “hidden costs” that we learned only when checking out. We would appreciate a clearer communication upfront. Altogether, we believe there are rooms for improvement on many aspects, especially given the cost.

The 7 course meal with the four wine pairing was nothing short of amazing. Chef Tropea knows his way around the kitchen and offers such a diverse palette of food choices and tastings.

My wife and I had a 10 course dinner for my birthday and Chef Manuel Tropea and his staff definitely delivered and we enjoyed every minute of each course. The decor, ambiance and service were outstanding. Each dish told a story and embodied layers of flavors which kept our palates guessing and craving more. An incredible experience to say the least and I was surprised with a homemade birthday cake during the course of dinner. Hats off to the Chef and his team for making this an unforgettable moment in our lives that we will forever cherish - Thank you. Well done!!!

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.

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 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.
