We really enjoyed our dinner at SVRGO - it serves a wide variaty of dishes including seafood and traditional sicilian meals. The tuna tartar and the octopus salad for the starter was a really good choice as well as the seafood risotto and the swordfish with sicilian pasta surpassed our expectations. The service was excellent and also had a chance to enjoy some opera from a streetmusician. You will find digital menu in dozens of languages.

We had a wonderful dining experience at SVRGO Restaurant in Catania. We ordered two delicious menu classics—the spaghetti Bolognese and the Carbonara—both cooked to perfection, along with a refreshing Hugo Spritz and a great glass of wine. The staff was great great and the owner was especially lovely. The restaurant is set in a beautiful square, which added so much charm to the atmosphere. As New Yorkers with broad palates, we truly appreciated the quality and flavors of the food. The service was warm, attentive, and genuine. We left very happy and would gladly return. Highly recommended!

Absolutely amazing place, amazing people and food, the pizza here is to die for, the dough is the star of the show! Beautifully made food, people are great, we have been here every day of our holiday cannot stay away! You have to come in or you will miss out! We tried every type of pizza and all of them were exceptional.

Romantic atmosphere at a plaza serving fish, meat and pizza. We ordered six different dishes including Oysters and hand made tiramisu and really enjoyed it. The highlight was the Dry marinated fresh salmon which had a special citrus taste.

This was next door to where we stayed and my wife loved the seafood pasta so we visited twice. I had the Pizza Norma and the fillet the second time. Got quite busy (inside) on a Wednesday evening so popular with the locals too.
