Had some calamari from the counter. Not the best, but pretty good. There was no real menu and no prices in front of the food display, so they just weighed the calamari and named a price. Not sure if I got ripped off or not after reading all the reviews, but I paid 7 Euro for 1 portion so that sounds about right for the area? The staff was friendly though and it was pretty busy.

We enjoyed ourselves - fresh seafood, great atmosphere & helpful wait staff. Especially enjoyed the grilled tuna, octopus antipasti & seafood lasagne. Oysters were scrummy - We went twice in our short stay in Catania, busy street so parking could be tricky.

Very fresh and good seafood. The area is a bit too busy with cars but the food is excellent. Arrive early because the kitchen was already closed at 18:30 on a saturday. Bring money.
