On Via Monte S. Agata, just a few steps from the Catania Amphitheater, you can sample Sicilian cuisine at Be Quiet. This restaurant serves excellent seafood and meat dishes that stay true to the traditional recipes of Italy’s largest island. Pasta alla Norma, with tomato sauce, eggplant, salted ricotta, and basil, is a true delight, but the Penne alla Trapanese—with swordfish chunks, basil pesto, pine nuts, sultanas, and cherry tomatoes—is also a must-try. The generous portions at Be Quiet on Via Monte S. Agata, along with its reasonable prices, are other factors to keep in mind if you’re looking for a Sicilian restaurant in the heart of Catania!
