Mè Cumpari Turiddu

Top choice in Catania


Old chandeliers, recycled furniture and vintage mirrors exude a nostalgic air at this quirky bistro-restaurant-providore, where tradition and modernity meet to impressive effect. Small producers and Slow Food sensibilities underline sophisticated, classically inspired dishes like ricotta-and-marjoram ravioli in a pork sauce, soothing Ustica lentil stew or a playful 'deconstructed' cannolo. There's a fabulous selection of Sicilian cheeses, lighter bistro grub and cakes.

Consider booking ahead for dinner and Sunday lunch.
