"You just gotta LOVE this place! It doesn’t look lite much from far but this turned out to be the best night in Catania som far! The food from the grill is absolutely magnificent, super friendly and happy staff. I had, among other great food, the best salsiccia I’ve ever had honestly! The fact that the wine came in plastic mugs didn’t bother non of us at all, it only made it more charming, down to earth and relatable! It just felt genuin, passionate and the staff just put the effort in all the the right places where it mattered the most! I brought my 6 year old son and my parents i law and we were all extremely satisfied and happy. Greetings from Malmö/Sweden"

"A traditional italian streetfood grill! The dtaff is very inviting, but I recommend translating everything using your phone. They do have an english menu to show everything and good cheap wine. We had the carpacio, horse meat, aubergine with cheese and grilled sping onion with pork and a tomato salad. Tomato salad was very boring and tomatoes were not flavorful, wouldn‘t recommend. Everything grilled was awesome."
