Gaetano - Catania

Amazing food. The appetiser was a blast (certainly one of the best I ever had). Portions are very large the (very kind and professional waiter) suggested to share. Highly recommended.

The restaurant wasn’t very busy a Sunday, late September but the owners were super friendly. The husband/chef recommended the food and it was simply excellent pasta with seafood, enough for 2 hungry people….great wine, deserts were local and also excellent. Best of all were the owners who chatted with us throughout. I’m definitely going back!!!!

On the tiny island of Volcano off Lipari. On the southern most tip. Your'll not trip across it by chance, so get off the beaten track to find the most unspoilt hillside, leading to the historic (now derelict) lighthouse, and eat overlooking the sea. We met the owner by chancel, he stopped to help us with directions, and he then offered to open up his restaurant just for us. The lunch of our trip followed. Course after course of marinated fresh fish melted in our mouths, washed down with wine from Piano and his own madeira type wine. Avoid the crowds, and visit. It's a destination in itself, with stunning beauty, remoteness and reminiscences of times gone by. The husband and wife team, could not have been friendlier, more accommodating, and welcoming to us. A shere gastronomic delight.

We have been in the aeolian islands for weeks and to put it kindly, the service we’ve encountered has not been a highlight. At last we found Da Gaetano, where not only was the food spectacular and the views breathtaking, but the hospitality was without match. Quick service, good recommendations, and you could see them smiling beneath their masks. An easy recommendation for anyone visiting the island!

Compared to other restaurants we've had in Sicily, this one was the most authentic with real Italian food. Antipasti were excellent! (80 euro's/4 persons). Fish was not that big, but quite expensive (1 fish was 36 euro's). We came by boat and had to walk around 1 km up the hill. Nice view from the terrace, friendly people!
