Shardana Cucina Vegetariana Vineria

The vegan option was like I would go to the nearest Lidl and buy soy burger. The pizza carborana was not special, not so good but not so bad, my bf said. The best of the best was the area. I was like in the Italian movie. As a tourist I would recommend to visit this place only for the place.

I’m in the military and have been to many restaurants around the world. Shardana Bristol treated me like family and thought me about the Sicilian culture. I loved the hospitality and would recommend them to all my family.

The service was great, the waiter came back at appropriate times when we weren’t eating. The local wine was amazing and cheap. And the calzones we’re absolutely delicious!

During our visit to Catania we ate here on 4 occasions. I am vegetarian and generally find I have a very limited choice of food. At Shardana there were more than enough choices. I could have eaten here for a week without repeating myself. My favourite dish was scrambled tofu with mixed vegetables and oven potatoes. There was also a tempeh dish, a seitan dish, veggie burger, veggie lasagne and more. If you are a proper vegetarian beware as one dish has parmesan cheese (parmigiana) which is not suitable for vegetarians. The staff were very friendly and could offer suggestions if required, particularly about the delicious desserts cherry cheesecake, lemon sorbet. On the Saturday night there was live music from a saxophonist and we were lucky that Luna, the waitress sang a few songs. Very memorable. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend The Shardona.

We enjoyed our beautiful meal with candle light and then we were given complimentary lemon cello this was followed by an also complimentary amereto desert. We ordered another delicious Sicilian red and were ceremonded by a man playing the piano accordi. Then it just became the best place that we have eaten/visited in our whole three weeks in Italy.
