L’angolo
Dello Chef
Catania, Sicily

This place doesn't look
like much, but it's highly recommended and is considered to be a "hidden jewel"
of Catania.
Locals praise the excellent
food, good prices and friendly staff.
Located right on the
street, L’angolo Dello Chef offers an original traditional Sicilian menu with a
modern twist.
Come take a look.
The Chef's Corner
The translation of the restaurant's name
means The Chef's Corner.
We heard about this place from a
Canadian-Sicilian man named Rudy whom we met at a coffee shop in town.
Fiery and intense, Rudy says he’s leaving
Catania forever, but by the way, you should try this restaurant up the block a
little ways called L’angolo Dello Chef.
"You'll get a good meal, and it won't cost
you much," he says.
Ok, we'll try it.
Whole chickens on the wood fire
As you can see from the photo above, there
are two entrances to the place. Since you can pay by credit card and take food
home, this was quite a busy little restaurant.
Miscellaneous foods in open trays and on
the counter above
Serving traditional Sicilian food, we were
unsure of some of these dishes since none were clearly marked.
But it was such an active place, that we
figured we'd try anything.
Everyone else seemed to recognize these
offerings and weren't shy about ordering.
Pan of eggplant parmesan
Pans of food were everywhere, so we picked
out our choices and the counter lady put the items into an aluminum container,
gave us utensils and a napkin each and then I was able to pay for it by credit
card.
The total came to $14.50Euros which is
about $16USD.
Unnamed items on top, salads underneath
The fried items on the left look like fried
oysters, but I think they are breaded zucchini.
And the squares on the right might be some
stuffed pasta or a type of quiche.
It didn't matter, as the place was bustling
and we made our selections quickly.
Grilled eggplant
Grilled eggplant - or eggplant in a variety
of ways - is popular in southern Italy and Sicily.
Hot, cold and marinated, mixed with other
vegetables in a medley, one almost always sees eggplant offered on an Italian
menu.
Our meal
Billy had a flattened and fried-style chicken
and a ratatouille of zucchini, eggplant and something else which made it taste
kinda sweet.
I had the same ratatouille, an eggplant
parmesan and a bit of fried zucchini.
The temperature of the food was a little
cold, but for the price and convenience, it was good.
We sat outside right on the street.
Our bill for 2 people
The $2Euro charge at the top of the bill is
for our 2 waters.
Each meal cost us $6.50 Euros, and since
there is no tipping in Sicily, this amount was our total bill.
Would we recommend this place!
Yes!
It's worth the experience and the food was
fresh and tasty.

Early Lifestyle appeals to a different
kind of person – the person who prizes their
independence, values their time, and who doesn’t
want to mindlessly follow the crowd.
