Cutilisci

Today was an excellent local restaurant for lunch. The food selection was interesting, and the wine I chose was perfect. Check the menu QR code to see what is on the menu or if you want to drink more than a glass of house wine. As we were not offered a wine list, which, in my experience, is unusual? There were a few service issues. As we were having a sharing menu, we specifically asked our last server to serve our stuffed octopus after our pasta. There was no confusion, but both came together. I can only assume it was coming to the end of the lunch service. However, the restaurant is open all day. A slight annoyance was that they raised the sun blinds as we were the only people left, although my wife was still eating and had to move to enjoy the rest of her meal. However, all in all, it was a good experience as a ‘non-Sicilian’ in a local eatery. This restaurant is in a fantastic location with good local, fresh, tasty food. It would be wonderful to come back as a local.

Amazing food from starters to dessert. We had ragusano for starter, pasta with aubergine and pasta with shrimp everything was delicious. For dessert we got almond parfait - very good! The restaurant has a great view of the water in a little quiet street.

We read all of the reviews, and we decided to give this place a try. Let me say that it was a fantastic choice. Luigi, our waiter took care of us. He gave us suggestions for his favorites, and they did not disappoint! We tried a bit everything, and it was all fresh & delicious. We arrived early to get a nice table by the water. All of the locals were out enjoying the water front, and we got a true glimpse of this community. The restaurant area was kept clean, but all along the waterfront there was quite a bit of trash. It’s a shame the city doesn’t maintain this area better. Don’t let that deter you. We thoroughly enjoyed our experience!

The food was delicious! Just wine arrived late than meal. Consider that this place is over busy and waiters mess up time to time. But still I would like to come back and recommend it .

This place was recommended to us and the reviews were great but we were disappointed. We booked online but on arrival we were told to sit at any of the tables set for two and then the waitress disappeared. We sat down and waited for someone to bring a menu or ask if we'd like a drink. After 5 minutes we figured that we must order by using the QR code on the table mat. We found a menu by using this code but couldn't figure out how to order. Eventually a waiter came and asked what we would like. We ordered the tuna and the burger. The food was good but not the wow factor we had expected after reading the reviews. The sides we ordered - wedges and salmon crunch - were actually disappointing. The service was okay too but other diners definitely got a better service. We were not local but don't believe that should mean we didn't deserve a welcome. It was an expensive meal for a special occasion - the food and service probably didn't warrant the price we paid.

We’ve been here 2 times and food was wonderful, waited a little bit for waiter but everything else was great.

We had lunch there as it was close to the beach. We started with tuna tartare, strawberries and mango. It was fresh. The octopus was tender and quite delicious. The pizza was amazing! Overall the food was tasty, but the waiters did not speak English at all, they were very rude, and they served us old or corked wine which took some time to explain waiter after waiter and get it right.

Had a delicious lunch at Cutilisci. Nice setting outside with breeze. Very fresh salad, pasta and seared tuna

A very good afternoon stop for bubbly and chips. Recommended. Seaside view. Wait. More than a view. The patio is seaside. Bubbly - Santa Tresa Il Grillo Brut €22. Quite good. Homemade potato chips. Delicious. Service was spot on. €31.50 for 2

Cute place but not so friendly people working. There was 8 of us and we wanted to sit by the water and the waitress acted like we were an inconvenience. We asked for bread and we were brought bread but no oil. The pizza was great though!!!

I haven't been to Catania in 9 years and I found this restaurant yesterday. I had a pizza that is outside the realm of a typical Italian pizza but wow I was in for a delightful surprise. I was going to post then but I started to get really bad service and decided the pizza was so good that I was just not going to post. The next evening I decided to give it another try. I also remembered that I wasn't in USA anymore and that if I wanted something I needed to be assertive and ask for it. So after my second attempt, I had first and second plate. The waitress recommended squid stuffed with couscous, which was not on the menu. To my delight it was one of the best meals that I've had in years. I think I might come back tomorrow too.

Cute little place on a small street. Wanted to try some authentic Italian pizza. The service was good and the staff was friendly. They have an English menu as well. Pizza was good and nice atmosphere. One thing I wished they had was calamari!

Great food and atmosphere. Service was a little slow - we waited almost an hour for pizza, apparently due to the fact that the oven was still heating up but we'd been waiting 45 mins before anyone told us that. Other than this it was a good experience.
