Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

The team went out of their way to understand us and accommodate us. They were by far the friendliest place we’ve been in catania. Great food, friendly & attentive service and the sweet treats also incredible. Worth to come back to!

How to describe such a wonderful place 🤔 Best cornetti al pistacchio. Best breakfast with delightful coffee. Friendly and helpful owners and staff. We have visited this place frequently during our visit in Catania and every single visit was perfect. Comparing to other popular pasticcerie...in Catania, Luigi Ficarra is the number ONE. We highly reccomend this place and send our best regards to owners. You made our stay in Catania unforgettable.More

Great food and very friendly staff. Compared to a lot of other cafes we visited, this was by far the best overall experience (quality, taste, price, customer service). Their granita was also the best compared to others we tried in catania.

The waitress did not come to oue table at all and yet they charged the service fee. Not acceptable! You can only stop by for reasonably priced caffee here (espresso 0.8 , cappuccino 1.3 euro).

Sampled so many canolis, Gelato and Arancini while in Sicily and these were by far, the absolute best. You can tell that they only use quality, fresh ingredients and they take pride in their work. They are also so very helpful and friendly as well....Can't wait to go back!!More

Having breakfast at Ficarra's was the highlight of our days spent in Catania. Warm hearted people, familiar atmosphere, gorgeous pastries. Never met so lovely family before. Felt like knowing the people working there for ages after three days. Wanna miss them a lot. So sad...to leave, cause each day having a breakfast there I felt like in heaven. Eating a pastry there fills You with the love it's made with. Thank You for the awsome memories, I'm so greatful for all the love we got, will miss You a lot. Best wishes to the whole family, Klaudia (the blondie from Antonello's)More
