The story
At Trattoria d'Ondorigio 2 in central Catania, a historic trattoria delivers what Salvo Guarneri calls an "incredible €30 XXL seafood menu." For that price, diners receive four antipasti, two primi, a grilled fish trio, plus wine, water, sorbet, and coffee — an astonishing value that keeps this casual, traditional spot packed with locals.
The menu showcases Catania's coastal bounty. Guarneri highlights dishes like Pepata di Cozze, Telline Saltate in Padella, and Moscardini Fritti among the antipasti, followed by a choice of Pasta alla Pescatura or Pennette con Melanzane Fritte, Pomodoro e Pesce Spada. The meal culminates in a Tris di Pesce — swordfish, calamari, and a large prawn. No reservations accepted, so come hungry and early.
