On Saturday a Catania, at lunch, there is little open. Walking from our hotel, theKatane Palace Hotel towards the center we came across the large market which is located near via via Etnea. Walking around for a while, we arrived in Via Santa Filomena, a place of nice and delicious restaurants. Unfortunately, several were closed here too, but luckily some were open, and that's how I met FUD, Sicula workshop Catania.
Fud is located at number 35 of Via Santa Filomena and you will see it immediately because there are several tables that are located just outside the restaurant. When it is not too cold, many prefer to sit outside the restaurant. Inside you will be welcomed by "common" tables, where to eat elbow elbow with other people, but not only. Those who prefer can always eat at the counter, or for the lucky ones there are also tables for two and four, but there aren't many, I have to be honest. A long table is located in the center of the main room and on the walls drawings and writings, a sort of giant menu drawn and colored.
In the menu you will find burgers and potatoes, but also salads. The hamburger that is missing is also the simplest, the Am Burger which is about € 5,90, then you go to the Cis Burger at € 6,70, the Pork Burger at 7,60 and so on. I have tasted the Shek Burger for € 8,90 made with donkey meat, grilled zucchini, provola cheese, buffalo mozzarella, onion and mayonnaise: a real bomb. I have to be honest, I couldn't eat it without the cutlery, it was too big and here you have to ask them why they don't bring them to you. Potatoes are also very special. Finally you can also want to order the pizzas, which, however, I must be honest I have not tasted.
The prices are a bit high, it is true, but trust that with a lunch like this you will be in place for the whole day! Inside the restaurant there is also the Wireless for those who, without a telephone, cannot even stay 10 minutes.
One size sore note, staff. A little too hasty, indeed no, pressing. A constant asking if you want more and if you have finished. Let's say a little too much, they make you anxious and in a hurry and in the end you want to leave, also because you are invited a little. Sin. If you go away in a hurry or because you can't stand the "pressure" anymore, I remind you that a few steps away is the Savia pastry shop, where a Sicilian cannolo nobody takes it away from you;)
