Four of us and one dog dropped in for dinner. What a great night! Food was excellent and we drank the local wine all night. Don't take our word for it .. live à little and enjoy the food. The entertaining owner is a side benefit.

We experienced this property, intrigued because in the TA ranking of pizzerias (not of all restaurants) in Acireale, currently it is at the first place, thanks to the average of the scores.Our expectations were probably much higher because of this background; but in my view our four pizzas don't justify the ranking.The service has been good (courteous, and also fast, probably because we showed up to an early hour for the local customs). Pizza with tuna, "Capricciosa", "Fattoressa", "Cuccagna" (ie, house pizza) were our orders. We found them decent, but just following the average quality of pizzas we usually eat, both in Acireale and elsewhere.The "bruschetta" that was served before the pizzas, was nice.The environment is not particularly scenic or romantic. Prices are low, but (once more) following the average of Acireale prices: 41 ⬠for four persons, including four small draft beers and a water bottle..Non capiamo quali aspettative aveste su una pizzeria, già descritta nelle altre recensioni, che possiede il suo punto di forza nella qualità dei prodotti, nel tipo di cottura della pizza, nel servizio veloce ( anche quando c'è folla qui siamo veloci e non solo se venite presto) e nei prezzi, che mi creda, per una pizzeria con i posti a sedere, è sotto la media. Sfido ad indicarmi dove, con quel prezzo, mangereste 4 persone nella zona del catanese. Le do ragione sul fatto della vista, ma da noi non serviamo al tavolo panorami ma pizze, e per quel che conta, data la nostra quarantennale esperienza del mestiere, le serviamo bene, e i nostri clienti sono contenti di quello che gli diamo. Non cerchiamo di vendere apparenze, ma sostanza, ma forse a lei interessa il contrario. Dispiaciuti dal voto ricevuto e dalle critiche non meritevoli, la ringraziamo comunque per l'attenzione prestataci. Fortunatamente, se ancora, dopo 25 anni siamo aperti, malgrado la grande concorrenza ormai pressante, vuol dire che c'è chi riconosce veramente la qualità e non si ferma all'aspetto esteriore della struttura, che vista l'età , è normale sia un pò retrò. cordiali saluti, La Cuccagna

Friendly service and absolutely amazing, fantastic food creations!In over a year of trying different Tavola calda places in Sicily this is my absolutely favorite. High quality ingredients with nice little twists to make a 'simple' snack a real experience for your taste buds. I just wanted to keep on trying and tasting new ones.Loved it and I am forcing my friends to take me there every time that I am back in Sicily. Would recommend it to every one!

Gastro-style pub with rock legend décor, wide selection of beers and cocktails, not overly priced, selection of panini, salads and first courses, incredibly friendly staff who gave a very personal, enthusiastic service. We immediately felt very welcome and they also spoke English, which is great for any tourists visiting Acireale. Looking forward to my next visit!Hi, thank you very much we were pleased to meet you and we hope to see you soon :-)
