Sicilian Restaurant in Catania: the Kitchen at Heaven Kitchen & Bar
Looking for authentic Sicilian food in Catania? Heaven Kitchen & Bar is a Sicilian restaurant in the heart of the historic center, just steps from the Duomo. Sicilian cuisine is a journey through history, culture and authentic flavour: every dish tells the story of the island, from the sea to the land, with simple ingredients full of character.
Flavours that tell the story of Sicily
Heaven's menu features dishes that are symbols of Catanese and Sicilian cuisine: caponata, a sweet-and-sour stew of eggplant, tomato, celery and Sicilian olives; eggplant parmigiana; pasta alla Norma, with fried eggplant and salted ricotta; and Catanese-style pasta, with toasted breadcrumbs, anchovies, fresh fennel, pine nuts and raisins — a recipe that carries the city's own name.
Bronte pistachio also takes center stage, starring in one of the house's most loved first courses — penne with creamy pistachio sauce — as well as in pizza and ice cream. A signature ingredient of eastern Sicily, grown on the slopes of Mount Etna.
From the sea to the land
Heaven's Sicilian menu combines seafood from the Catania coastline — raw preparations, tartare, grilled fish and the catch of the day — with land dishes such as grilled meats, reflecting the island's dual culinary soul, between the Mediterranean and its inland traditions.
