Pasticceria Mantegna - Catania

We stopped here for a bite and finished by having a delicious lunch with the best ice cream we have ever had! The staff was kind and the prices were friendly. We cannot wait until our next visit!

This was a favorite and we went several times. it is on the Via Etnea and if the weather is not too toasty it is pleasant to sit outside. i discovered the aperol spritzer and found my hot weather drink. it is sharp and tart and with lots of ice is superb.

This small place on Via Etnea is specialized both in savoury and in sweets. On one side side there is the bar and hot food (excellent vegetarian arancini both spinach and eggplant) and on the other a vast array of sicilian sweets (only thing I didn't like there was the cassata which seemed sweeter than they usually are, it was sickly to my tastes). Always reliable, long opening hours, definitely worth the visit! My only grumble (as a not wealthy vegetarian) would be that the vegetarian arancini were half the size of the meat ones yet cost the same! Other than that, very friendly service. Go there if you get the chance!

The food is so so. Not italian at all. The salad is more bitter than death.

Nice cakes or cookies with reasonable price I enjoyed cafes in afternoon all good!!!
