Osteria Il Bell Antonio, Catania

We have ended our European adventure with dinner at a local Sicilian fish restaurant, Osteria Il Bell Antonio. Such a pretty looking restaurant tucked away in a side street which gave it an intimate feel.

While our order got lost on translation and we ended up with a mixed salad for our entree instead of the mixed starters which had a sample of all the starters, the salad was probably better for our bellies anyway. Our mains were what we ordered and Brad had the risotto of the fisherman which was risotto with seafood. Brad was very happy with his choice. I am not a big seafood lover so I had the Mezzi paccheri di Gragnano "Norma", which translates to pasta with eggplant with pecorino cheese and it was also very tasty.

For dessert we found a gelateria near our apartment and both enjoyed our favourite Italian gelato, amarena.

Not wanting our last night to end, we walked some more to admire the streets at night. Catania has changed so much since we were last here and it has flourished. There are so many more bars and restaurants and they are all busy. It has such a vibe.

We ended our night with our last Italian limoncello spritz and complimentary snacks (which we did not need), while sat in front of the Duomo lit up at night. While we are so sad our travels are over, we are looking forward to seeing our family, furry family and friends.Read more
