We walked past the restaurant a few days earlier and caught the smell coming from the pizza oven in the kitchen, which immediately made us decide that we wanted to come back for dinner. The restaurant itself is very charming and nicely designed, so naturally we arrived with high expectations.
We were seated outside and had a beautiful setting overlooking the monument and church nearby. We ordered drinks and pizzas, and our drinks arrived very quickly.
The pizzas took a little longer, around 30 minutes, despite the restaurant not appearing particularly busy either inside or outside. When they arrived, the pizzas were good: large, elongated, with a crispy crust and nicely prepared. That said, the prices felt slightly higher than what I would normally expect for this type of pizza.
After finishing our meal, a young waiter cleared the table and we asked for the bill. We then experienced another wait, which felt close to 30 minutes, before asking an older waiter who kindly brought it almost immediately.
One thing that surprised us was the €2.50 per person cover charge for sitting at the restaurant. I understand that this can be common in some places, but these unexpected extra charges can leave guests feeling slightly caught off guard.
Overall, it was a pleasant experience with a beautiful atmosphere and good food. We enjoyed our evening, but considering the pricing, we had expected a little more in terms of service speed and overall experience.
This is a truly amazing pizza place. The atmosphere is wonderful – the restaurant is in an old building, but it has been stylishly updated with a modern touch, very chic and elegant but bit punky too. The people working here are also very friendly and welcoming.
The pizza was absolutely amazing. We ordered the Buffala Crudo pizza and added burrata, and shared it between two people (along with two fried dishes). The portion was very generous.
You can also enjoy a very good house wine for only 5 euros, which was a great surprise.
Overall, we were very satisfied with the service, atmosphere, food, and price. Highly recommended!
Amazing place with a view. Pizza was delicious and white was also very enjoyable. 10/10 recommend. Service was excellent and kind. + for a very tasty appetizer on the house.
We got immediately a table, even though we didn’t make a reservation beforehand. Our food arrived after 10-15’ and was very tasty. The portions were more than generous. We even got a snack (French fries) on the house. The drinks were really good - the right amount of aperol in the cocktails!
We went to Frumento Catania which was recommended by our local guide is set in a lovely location. What an amazing selection of Pizzas. We had both Frumento and Neapolitan base pizzas. One of the best pizzas we ever had. Fresh vegetables. Ever thought a fried aubergine on a pizza would taste so nice. Deserts are also very nice.Service was excellent. Cannot fault it. A must try when you are in Catania
