The pizza was okay, and the service has room for improvement, especially with English knowledge. - Sparking water for me. - Here you have still water. - I asked for sparking. - Still is also okay.

Absolutely amazing! The staff and the environment are amazing. Extremely hospitable, and of course the pizza is the best margarita we have ever tasted. From the moment we tasted the pizza we decided that this was our go to restaurant for the whole stay of our vacation. They also have takeaway option as well.

This is Neapolitan pizza. I’ve been in Sicily two weeks and this was by far the best pizza I ate, one of the best I’ve ever had. The crust was incredible, usually I skip eating it because of the carbs, but there was no way I wasn’t eating every bite of this one. I went with a traditional Díavola, but there were some interesting options if you wanna be more creative. I plan to come back tomorrow night for another pizza. I sat at an outdoor table so there was a little street noise, but that’s half the fun. Excellent!

We never write reviews, but this place deserves one. On our first day in Italy we came here and had really good pizza that met our expectations of Italy having amazing food. When asked to do a review at the time we declined, assuming everywhere in Italy was going to ask, and we figured all the pizza in Italy would be just as good. After two weeks of traveling around and eating pizza almost every day, we realized this was actually the best one we had. The Napoli style pizzas are the way to go! It was perfect: light, fluffy, and full of flavor. Looking back, this spot in Catania set the bar way too high on day one, and nothing else came close….hence doing a review 2 weeks later!

Very welcoming stuff, great pizza, for us as ultimate fans of neapolitan pizza it was a blessing since we couldnt find any pizza napoletana in Sicilia the menu options are maybe bit strange but there are plenty of classic versions as well.
