Gli antichi sapori In Randazzo

06/04/2024: Place located next to Villa Bellini in Catania, the room inside looks good visually but unfortunately if you look at the details you can see some flaws such as the tables which appear to be a little bare, dirty and with paper napkins, midges that buzzed around the room, the soap dispenser that hung in the bathroom (unacceptable given the cover prices), the menu offers quite varied meat and fish options as well as the wine list which appears to be well stocked. As soon as we were seated they brought us some very soft warm bread, I had lunch taking a starter from the chef which includes both cold and hot dishes, a generous portion and very good raw dishes especially the tuna which melted in the mouth, as a first course tagliolini with lobster (pasta portion a little poor), the pasta was cooked well but unfortunately it was very oily, almost watered down in the oil, on a positive note, the lobster which was abundant (half to be precise even if frozen in my opinion), as a second sfincione of fish sword, the swordfish was a little dry, a seasoning which in my opinion did not give flavor but made it a mush, all accompanied by a glass of white wine which was quite good and delicate. Everything could be there but at the right level and unfortunately everything didn't have the right price, 86.50 euros with 1.50 discount for a total of 85, too high a price for the quality of the food and the service in general, unacceptable to pay so much for having dirty tablecloths, disposable paper napkins, a knife with a bent tip (which was changed once I asked the waitress), unfortunately I wouldn't go back at this price, paying something less and increasing the quality of the products it would be competitive. Rejected.

05/04/2024: I was there with the guys from Swim Revolution before crossing the Strait. I had a very good time! Delicious dishes prepared with fresh ingredients and impeccable presentation. The always courteous staff and the welcoming atmosphere make it a great choice!
