我們常常來光顧 店內販售許多甜點、熟食、冰淇淋等美食，可以有座位區享受或外帶，寵物友善餐廳(但須乖巧不會亂便溺) Granita+Brioche 在炎熱夏天享用超美味，我們每次都品嘗開心果+杏仁口味，這裡還有烘烤過的杏仁口味(Mandorla di Tostata) 這家店在當地也歷史很久了 價格很合理 服務人員態度很親切 會推薦來品嚐

Abbiamo trovato un locale molto accogliente e pulito, personale cordiale e premuroso. Ottima pasticceria, noi abbiamo fatto colazione alle 06:00 del mattino ed era tutto buonissimo. In vetrina c'era la tavola calda in abbondanza. Il conto è stata la vera sorpresa, caffè a 0,50€, pezzi di colazione a 1€ direi che non devo aggiungere altro. Assolutamente da provare se vi trovate in zona, io molto probabilmente ci tornerò, complimenti al proprietario, anch'egli presente e mattiniero nonostante non sia più un giovanotto. Consigliato A+++

Bar Anastasi in Catania is a fantastic family-owned spot! The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, making you feel right at home. The "tavola calda" offerings are amazing. Their granita is a refreshing treat, perfect for a hot day. The friendly service makes the experience even better. The family running the bar is genuinely welcoming and clearly passionate about their community. Bar Anastasi is a must-visit for anyone wanting to enjoy authentic Sicilian food in a cozy, friendly setting. Highly recommended!

Una certezza assoluta al Viale Mario Rapisardi. Sono cresciuto con la tavola calda e le colazioni del bar in questione, ma il pezzo forte resta la Raviola alla ricotta: nonostante la mia ricerca continua, non ho trovato una Raviola paragonabile a quella offerta presso questa pasticceria.

Ambiente accogliente e grazioso posto lungo il Viale Mario Rapisarda. Il personale l'ho trovato abbastanza cordiale. Ho mangiato la treccina marmellata che è la colazione da me preferita e l'ho trovata veramente molto buona, soffice e la giusta quantità di marmellata. Complimenti!
