The story
At first glance, Privitera reads like a classic Sicilian pastry shop, but as creator Italyfoodprnsicilia discovered, its true claim to fame is a spectacle of excess. The spot serves an enormous XXL aperiburger for two at €18 per person, which includes a free bottle of drink. “The owner is crazy,” the reviewer notes, “but the value is unbeatable despite inflation.”
The burger itself is a towering, no‑frills creation that leans into the city’s love of street food and casual indulgence. It’s the kind of walk‑in‑friendly, hole‑in‑the‑wall experience that locals swear by—proof that even a pastry shop can dish out one of Catania’s most talked‑about, budget‑busting meals.

Privitera’s Aperiburger XXL earns rave reviews as a hearty, indulgent standout. The overall vibe is warm and satisfying, perfect for a casual, flavor-packed meal.
“This is a super XXL burger, so huge they told me I probably can't finish it. Inside there's burrata (already broken), parmigiana, fried tuma cheese, lots of cheeses, couscous, rice — now you believe me when I say it's bigger than Catania. The price is €18 per person, and it's for two people, not one. The rule here is only one: you eat until you burst. And you get a free bottle of drink with it. I'm at Privitera in Catania, the owner is crazy but with today's price hikes, all this for €18 with a free bottle — where's the profit? Wake up, inflation.”
