About
Trattoria Pizzeria Ninnetti is a charming family‑run Sicilian restaurant located in the historic town of San Gregorio di Catania, just a stone’s throw from the foot of Mount Etna. From the moment you step inside, the rustic‑chic décor and friendly, attentive service welcome you into an authentic Sicilian home‑cooked experience. Ninnetti’s menu is built on the same traditional recipes that have been passed down through generations, featuring fresh, locally sourced ingredients and a strong emphasis on simplicity and quality. The kitchen, operated by the founders’ son Marco and his aunt Teresa, knows how to turn humble, everyday ingredients into dishes that celebrate Sicilian flavor and heritage. Beyond its classic pasta and seafood dishes, the trattoria is renowned for its own creations of pizza, each uniquely supplied with fresh dough and toppings crafted from the same family recipe book. Complementing the food is a small, curated wine list that highlights regional varietals, as well as local wines, craft beers, and Italian spirits – offering diners an opportunity to taste the sea and the mountains that surround the restaurant. Whether you’re a local, a first‑time visitor to Sicily, or simply on the lookout for an unpretentious yet delicious dining experience, Trattoria Pizzeria Ninnetti promises a warm, unforgettable meal that feels like a welcome to a Sicilian home.
