The story
Botanica, on Catania’s Via Etnea, earned its 4.6-star rating not just as a pizzeria, but as the stage for a local arancini battle. The Frama Twins, who previously dined there, hosted their “Arancini Challenge” finale in its courtyard—proving the spot can host a serious street-food showdown.
Beyond hosting, the creators say Botanica “make amazing pizza.” While the arancini contest stole the spotlight, the kitchen’s pizza credentials come straight from a creator who’s eaten there. The menu remains unlisted in this review, but the word-of-mouth suggests a reliable Italian staple in a city that takes its crust seriously.
