Trattoria Giglio Rosso

pesce fresco e ottimo servizio

We sat outside since the restaurant was full inside. The food was great! High quality, everything is fresh and very tasty! Totally recommended!

A great selection of fish and pasta dishes. Huge portions and great value for money. Lovely venue, beautiful decor. Wine menu a little limited but good basics.

Good food but waiters kept trying to take out plates that we didn't finish, like if they were in a rush to kick us out. Fish wasn't bad. Tagliere, a bit of average.

Traditional seafood restaurant, they have fresh fish every day. The Pasta alla Norma and Carbonara were the best I had eaten in the city and the Desserts list was enormous. Definitely recommend to eat here!

The Giglio Rossi was a great choice for us. We love eating fish and the way Domingo prepared the Pargo was excellent. Prices are reasonable and the atmosphere and coziness of the whole restaurant is also over the top.

This is one of the best Trattorias I was in Catania. Make sure to give the fish of the day an attempt. It's fresh and they prepare it right away. It's exquisite. The deserts are so, but refreshing (no more than fruity to sweeten). If you order the fish of the day, the waiters have it for you, even if you are good with eating all the fish, it is a very theatrical performance.

The food just wasn't good or authentic Italian. The fried mixed fish was strange. The prawns hadn't been deveined and I couldn't identify any of the others. The spaghetti carbonara was salty. The sauce had clearly split and the pan was scrapped on top of the dish. The pancetta was mostly fatty pieces. The icing in the cake was the chipped coffee cup. I certainly wouldn't recommend this place and it is best avoided.

Unfortunately I have to give this restaurant a bad review only because of the way they dealt with the bill. When we arrived, the waiter told us we could have a taster aperitivo menu and then see if we wanted anything more. We agreed so we didn't look into the menu and let them bring us whatever they wanted to offer. It was delicious and we didn't need more...at this stage I would give it a 4 star. But then we asked for the bill... And they charged us for each plate in the taster menu individually as if we had ordered each dish straight off the menu. That's not what a taster menu is! We would have ordered our own things individually if that's what was going to happen anyway... We even tried d...
