Right in the thick of Catania’s historic fish market on Via Pardo, this beloved osteria serves some of the freshest seafood in the city — you can even pick your own fish from the counter. Expect Sicilian classics like calamarata (squid pasta) and sarde a beccafico, plus good-value fixed menus, all amid the salty buzz of the Pescheria. Tiny and hugely popular, so book ahead for an inside table.
