Via Etnea, 20, 95131 Catania CT, Italy  clearly but slightly better than average gelato with the texture and so on, but I'm still not sure it's worth to wait for minutes. 2024-09-13 FRI gelato after brunch at  Trattoria Giglio Rosso  with Sophia and Radiang. The bill was not evenly split, so I bought gelato for everyone in my party at the famous Don Peppinu near  Piazza del Duomo . The bill split was not even so I bought gelato for everyone at the famous Don Peppinu near  Piazza del Duomo . There is often a long queue but luckily I didn't have to wait that long. There are oftne a long queue but luckily didn't have to wait that long. Pick a size of the cup or cone, pay, and move on. It was a little pressure to pick flavors with bunch of people waiting behind me. Clearly, it is slightly better than the average gelato, for example the texture, and so on, but I'm still not sure if it's worth waiting for, for 5-10 minutes. It was clearly but slightly better than aver...

https://www.sicilyswingfest.it/ 2024-09-12~14, Catania, Italy Lindy Hop, Balboa 2024-09-12 THU Sicily Swing Fest The opera house at night, on the way to LAND, where Sicily Swing Fest happened. The idea of checking in with QR code instead of wrist band seems innovative but didn't work well. The staff didn't and couldn't check all the participants because they just kept coming in and out to use the bathroom outside or to have fresh air or smoke. Sicily Swing Fest was an interesting event in that they balanced music for Lindy Hop and Balboa almost like 50:50. There were not many advanced dancers but it didn't bother much to enjoy as a lead. The atmosphere was not much welcoming but everyone at least smiled when I asked to dance. Also we've met one of our YouTube fans there. Sicily Swing Fest 2024  - PRE PARTY 9.30pm~01.30am Ticket: THURSDAY PRE-PARTY - €20.00  Live: The Original Sicily Jass Band DJ Set: Easy Love – Claudia Tringali 2024-09-13 FRI It was fun to suprise ...

Via Sant'Anna, 19, 95127 Catania CT, Italy An ok Sicilian restaurant in a quet small street. Wide selection of menu. The staff gave us a little pressure for order. 2024-09-13 FRI Brunch with Sophia and Radiang. A bit far from the Piazza del Duomo, in a quiet small street. A few outdoor tables available. They have a wide selection of menu. We usually go through every item, and it was a little annoying that the owner kept recommending. It almost felt like a hard sell. Coperto (cover charge) 2 x4 Vino della casa (House wine) 1l. 8 Aqua (water) 2.5 Pepsi 33 3 House wine 1l. is only €8. Since 'casa' means 'house', Vino della casa is easy to understand. Frutti di Mare (seafood) 18 Vongole 15 Arrosto Misto di Pesce (roasted mixed fish) 22 Tonno Arrosto (roasted tuna) 16  Insalata di Polpo (octopus salad) 14 ??? I doubt that this is salad but it is the only item left from the bill. Caponatina 6 Or is this? "Sicilian Eggplant Caponatina (Caponata) is a marinated salad w...

Via Sant'Orsola, 48, Via Sant'Orsola, 50, 95131 Catania CT, Italy We enjoyed all the food. Seafood salad recommended. The staff shared his broad knowledge on local wines. 2024-09-12 THU The first meal in Catania near the B&B. I enjoyed most of the restaurants in Malta, but Italia surely has its own level and confidence, especially wines. The smart-looking staff shared his broad knowledge. For example, the gournd in this area is robust due to the volcano of Mt. Etta, so grape grows deep down absorbing much mineral, which creates the flavor of wine.  white goblet etna 7 white goblet grillo 7 After explanation, I could feel the mineral in the wine clearly.  Natural water 3 covered 2 x2 It is common for Italian restaurants to make you pay for "coperto" for each guest, the cost of seats and bread, and so on. Classic lasagna 11 Sardines with beccafico 12 Seafood Salad 16 Clams, mussels , squids, shrimps, octopus, oil, parsley It is called 'salad', but more like ...
