To begin this review I want to preface that we are "regular" customers and that we have always appreciated the quality of the pizzas. When we do not have the possibility to go there we order their pizza home delivery, also by virtue of the fact that it is the only pizzeria to offer gluten free and deliver in our area.
The penultimate order made had already left us a little perplexed, both for the quality of the product and for the punctuality of the delivery. However, we decided not to contest anything, as having experience in catering we know well that it can happen once in a while in which products and services may not excel, especially on days usually full of work.
Confidently last night we again ordered two pizzas, one with gluten-free dough and one with classic dough (for an amount above € 40 that we are willing to spend for dietary needs, and of which we also know the costs of the raw materials well). The order arrived with a long delay, as in all honesty always happens, but I can understand the reasons. What I understand less is the quality of the products, which apparently has significantly worsened over time:
- the gluten-free pizza was missing one of the ingredients (one we had expressly asked to remove, the other was evidently forgotten/finished); - both pizzas were so full of oil that they seemed fried and very heavy to swallow;
- the dough, probably made last minute and not leavened, I believe was the cause (or contributory cause) of the indigestion, thirst, nausea and abdominal pain that accompanied the night and the following morning;
We are deeply sorry to write this review, which we are absolutely not used to doing especially for places like this that we have appreciated. We hope this place can recover in quality.
Firstly, everything on the menu is available without gluten which is why we chose the place. The gluten free was very good and the burger bun was fluffy and the burger itself was not too small. My capricciosa was possibly a little soggy and a little stingy with tomato sauce with the ham was unusually good and the base itself was good. The staff spoke better English than in many other places and it was no problem to neither be understood nor understand what the staff said. I would recommend this place if you want to eat quite late (they don't open before 7:45 PM) and can't eat gluten.
Small but pleasant place, a modernization wouldn't hurt anyway, difficult to park because it's 2 steps from the center. The pizza is average, the gluten-free one is good with dough made by them. The service girls are very kind, the prices are average, even though it was a Saturday the service was fast. All in all a good experience especially for those with gluten problems.
Amazing place! Very good food, everything is gluten free and delicious!
I had pinsa, arancini, pasta, apple pie, nutella pie, fries, everything is so, so good.
I went there during day time and during night time and all the staff members were helpful, nice and offered good customer service. Special thanks to Lorena who is very sweet and so helpful!
Will definitely come back!
We were six people at Scorza Nera and I have to say it was a wonderful discovery! The place is really large and well-kept, with a wonderful summer space, perfect for outdoor evenings. The menu is very rich: many varieties of pizzas and doughs, even gluten-free, truly something for all tastes.
The pizzas arrived almost all at the same time (five out of six), the only small flaw was with the gluten-free pizza which, by mistake, had been served to another table. We had to wait a few more minutes, but the staff was very courteous and attentive.
The real surprise, however, came at the end: without having asked for anything, they brought us two plates of desserts with Nutella and bitters offered by the house. As a Milanese, I was positively impressed: a gesture that is not seen often and that really makes the difference.
What can I say? Excellent food, welcoming environment and a service that knows how to pamper the customer. I will definitely return when I come to Sicily
I am celiac .. and I ate divinely the first time .. so much so that I decided to return to celebrate my third degree and everything was wonderful.
Very kind and helpful owner.
Kind and welcoming staff, but above all super attentive to my needs and requirements.
Top food.
Obviously we will continue to choose you for our evenings of extreme relaxation and good food.
Excellent experience of both service and food. Above all, excellent experience with gluten-free, given that being celiac in the family, it is not easy to find a suitable place that is attentive to contamination. Thank you so much, for everything.. 5 out of 5 on everything!!
We stopped to eat a pizza because they also make it gluten-free and it was a really pleasant surprise; the gluten-free pizza is top with dough made by them, furthermore they have in addition to the normal dough, excellent, also a dough of ancient grains truly spectacular, top quality ingredients and a Sicilian craft beer to try.
I recently had dinner in this restaurant...a wonderful location, especially in the summer, where you can dine under the stars 🤩. Staff ready to satisfy any request. The menu features a variety of innovative and beautifully presented dishes. I can never recommend Cortile delle Fate enough for a fantastic dining experience."* Great gluten-free pizza!
My husband and I spent three days in Catania (in addition to being pleasantly surprised by the city), we looked for a restaurant that served gluten-free dishes, we read the reviews and trusted what was published, the best choice was made, the owners and staff were very kind, we had a really good time and ate a lot. We dared to try a pasta with sea urchins and for us who come from Sardinia we can say that the exam was passed with flying colors.
Went for a weekday lunch at Street 54 Trattoria Coppola. Sat outside on the sidewalk (loud with vehicles zooming by). There’s tables in the alley hidden around the corner. Service was friendly, waitress spoke English. Coperto was 1,50€/person.
They can do gluten free pasta (not stated on the menu) excluding the stuffed pasta. No extra charge for GF, only one option (penne).
- Penne senza glutine Street 54 (15,00€) - wrapped in tin foil. Good mix of seafood
- Penne senza glutine alla norma (10,00€) - eggplant was tasty, salted ricotta cheese paired well with the sauce. Pasta was al dente
We came to this place starting from the Google reviews among the places that have an outdoor environment and we were literally and pleasantly amazed by the well-kept, clean and comfortable location both inside and outside, by the kind and impeccable service and by the quality and goodness of the food.
Specifically, we ate a delicious fried fish, two pizzas, one of which was gluten-free, 1/2 liter of house white wine and a generous slice of pistachio ice cream cake.
The bread is delicious and made by them.
Important note for those looking for gluten-free: one of the best pizzas ever eaten, with abundant, quality ingredients. The thoughtfulness of bringing morsels of gluten-free bread along with the fish starter was an attention not noted in other places.
Finally, the price was honest and reasonable, especially in relation to the quality of the food, including gluten-free food.
Already recommended to other people and certainly next and future stop.
Very nice and welcoming place, excellent food (also prepared for those with gluten and lactose intolerances), qualified and very kind staff. Great experience!
Excellent quality pizzeria restaurant, vast menu for all tastes according to your needs, vast choices of pizzas including pizza for celiacs, vast choice of first starters and second courses of meat, excellent anxiety meat, delicious cut of meat, You can also enjoy pizza platters for 2 people which include: three pizzas cut into wedges, French fries, onion rings, fried calzones, an aperitif based on fried fish to order, while the pizza platter is always available. Also open for lunch. Panoramic view from the beautiful veranda being positioned in the part below the access you have to go down the stairs. there is the possibility of accessing with a wheelchair from a ramp which is located from a secondary entrance, therefore suitable for disabled people with wheelchairs. Parking in front of the restaurant is along the street with valet for peace of mind. Excellent price quality. The staff is kind and friendly, they put you at ease and know how to advise you on the products on the menu based on your needs, waiting times are not long. For me and my friends it was the first time we went to this place and we had a good time, I think I'll go back soon.
Very nice place, very close to Piazza del Duomo. We had an outdoor aperitif but the inside is even more beautiful. Gluten free food and beer options, which was much appreciated.
We tasted the nachos but in a not very successful version (with salad, cherry tomatoes and strips of pork) while the day before we had a gluten free sandwich with really good meatballs
Excellent in everything, as soon as we entered they immediately put us at ease, the person who advised us and took the lead was Mr. Giuseppe, really friendly and attentive in everything, there was even a celiac person at the table and he was attentive and advised for each course avoiding any problem of contamination. The characteristic food based on horse meat was truly delicious and the fish we ate was very fresh. In conclusion, passing through Aci Castello is a must stop in the name of good taste and friendliness. We will definitely return.

I love this place…(one of my favorites)…their fresh soft pistachio croissants are phenomenal…and the cakes are great, they also have gluten free products and a lot more…always a good fit)))
Despite being gluten intolerant, I actually DINNERED in this wonderful place by the sea.
Raw fish appetizer, mussels peppered, gluten-free bread and an EXCELLENT risotto accompanied by a good glass of fruity wine and then finished with a refreshing lemon sorbet.
Welcoming and precise staff.
Delicious !!! 😋 what a pleasant time we had there. We took a whole series of boards and the products were of great quality. The red wine by the glass was incredibly good. I highly recommend ! Little extra: they offer gluten-free solutions.
Unfortunately I went because I was thinking of eating gluten free. A disappointment because the offer is limited, but then......where was the bread?? Grilled vegetables...simply indicate raw seeds and scorched oil. But also the offer of classic first courses is very limited and of questionable preparation. The service is not very synchronised. My partner's dish arrived 5 minutes after mine, unfortunately. I was hoping for better, given the reputation. Lots of popularity but little substance
A delicious, light Pizza and two beautiful pasta dishes. All surrounded by the incredible view of Acicastello Castle. and the best, most welcoming and kind service we have experienced. Specifically of note 2 of our party or coeliac and the host and staff were incredibly accommodating cooking pasta for them and ensuring every component was entirely gluten-free.
Grazie e alla prossima!
Celiac friendly
