Trattoria da Mario

€20 per person, fixed menu: a mix of starters, the second (3 types of meat) with a mix of sides, and drinks (wine, beer, water, juice and coffee. The good part is that if you don’t like something for sure you are not going to starve 😁 there is too much food, but no worries you can have it to go.
Nice atmosphere too!

11/2023 - for 20 EUR per person, you get 12 appetizers, a main course (you can select a beef steak, a sausage or any of a ton of other options I don't unfortunatelly remember), and dessert, water and a bottle of fine red wine included in the price.

The food might look quite simple, but it is incredibly flavourful and masterfully done.

The staff is very friendly and helpful and if you don't manage to consume everything on one sitting, you can ask to take the rest to go.

I am now convinced that this is the best place to eat on Earth.

Also I'm a lawyer and I'm pretty sure that not visiting this fine establishment while you're in Catania could be considered a crime against humanity.

Good local food for an “all-inclusive” food and drink price of € 20 pp. It’s a great concept to experience local food culture! Must-do when in Catania!

Interesting place, especially when you want to try Sicilian food and especially starters. For the price of 15 euros you get around 10-12 starters plus a main course (grilled meat, choice of chicken, beef or horse) and a drink. The food is good but not outstanding. A few starters are completely unnecessary filler (French fries, croutons with cheese, mushrooms). You have to be careful because all the side dishes appear suddenly, you will quickly become full and finally the main course will appear. I liked the most of all things: casseroles, a board of cheeses and meats (especially mortadella), olives and cheese in brine. The main courses are just grilled fillets - good, but I find the previously mentioned things much better.

All in all, a good place to go to in Catania. It's worth trying something new. The price for the set is really low, and everyone will find something suitable for themselves. Due to the great interest in the place, I recommend booking in advance. On the plus side, it is possible to pack food to go, and fast and efficient service.

We were 6 people and got fed like kings. Great food and nice atmosphere. Definitely one of my favorite restaurants we have visited.

Passed by here by accident and decided to eat here since it was a lot of people. The price is really good for the food they serve! 20€ / person. Had a bottle of wine, starters (it’s a lot!), I was already full by the time main course came. So fun and nice atmosphere.

It is quality AND quantity. So much amazing food. Lovely service. Brilliant atmosphere.
Very much a locals favourite spot.
€20 set menu

The food was tasty and more than enough- pre-set menu- you cannot choose. Several types of starters+main dish (chicken or beef) +water. Great opportunity to taste local food. Price Vs quality and quantity- great! We paid 40 euro for 2ppl for the starters on the picture+ 2 main dishes (beef)+ a bottle of red wine, glass of white wine, 1.5l coke and 0.25l coke. Mainly locals= good food.

Great food. Don't be afraid of the set menu. You in fact get pretty much everything they have, so you get to taste and choose (and you have to choose, because it's too much for most to eat it all).

Delicious local wine needs a separate mention, as it's better than many fancy wines in posh shops.

Very fast service. Friendly and helpful staff.

Best trattoria in Catania!
Delicious and super affordable fixed menu (20€ pp). Includes drinks (yes, plural), first course (~12 dishes at once!!!), second course (beef, pork, chicken or horse!), dessert and a final "amaro" digestive!!
Unbeatable! On top of all that, guys working there provide an excellent service 💯

Absolutely wonderful place for dinner! Tasty food, very nice home wine, and friendly atmosphere created by professional staff 👌 Thank you for the fantastic dinner we had here - unforgettable 😋

Don't believe the opinions here. Just come and try it yourself. Get 20€ with you and feel the atmosphere and enjoy your never ending meal and wine in this cool place. We didn't know what to expect when we came here. You should expect anything, too. Just try. Believe me, you won't regret it.

Great food. 20€ menu with water, appetizer and main course ( meat - beef,horse or chicken

Starve for a day before dinning here. We got a fixed menu for 20 euro per person with 3 course meal that had almost everything. Highly recommended.

Two persons, 15 euros each and we got the prefix menu: 12 (!) starters, 2 beef steaks and a bottle of water. Amazing!!

Good cuisine and pleasant service. There is a lot of food).
Even if you do not eat meat, you will have enough appetizers, cheeses, salads, vegetables ..

Super fast, super delicious. They served us like 10 typical Sicilian starters and two main courses only for 15 €. Service is fast, just perfect. Reservation is required. If you are staying in Catania, I recommend that you go there and have dinner. It is loud and croudy.

Amazing restaurant. Delicious food, great and friendly service. Best place you can be in catania!

Even we read the reviews before, we couldn’t stop ourselves from eating delicious starters so quickly then we were full before the main course.
The starters are perfect and fresh.👌🏻
Highly recommended 👍

during our stay, here was our favorite spot.

€20 fixed menu, which includes a bunch of local famous Sicilian starters, a second dish(horse, veal, or chicken steak) as well as wine and water.

staff and the service were also great, a wonderful experience where you can eat the best food in Catania at lower prices.
