We had a wonderful experience! The atmosphere was beautiful and made us feel welcome right away. The service was excellent, and the staff took the time to explain everything to us. The pizza was absolutely first-class and one of the best we’ve had. Even though we didn’t have a reservation, we were lucky to get a table because we arrived right after the restaurant opened. It filled up very quickly, so we definitely recommend making a reservation. We would happily come back anytime!
Thank you so much for this wonderful and comprehensive review! We are absolutely thrilled to hear that you had such a first-class experience in our garden and that our staff made you feel so welcome by taking the time to guide you through our menu.
The secret behind the pizza you loved so much is patience: we work exclusively with 100% live sourdough starter (lievito madre) and long maturation times to ensure a contemporary crust that is incredibly light, airy, and easy to digest, topped with the freshest local ingredients.You were indeed very lucky to snap up a table right at opening time!
As you correctly noticed, our garden fills up very quickly, and we truly appreciate you recommending future guests to book in advance—it is the best way to secure a spot in our green oasis here in Acireale.For your next visit, we would love for you to try our brand new, spectacular seasonal special: the Rosso Mazara pizza.

We ate here on a Tuesday evening outside. The garden is nice and looks great lit up at night ! The atmosphere is nice and relaxed.
Daniele gave us great service and his personality really lit up the place !
On to the most important part, the pizza ! Which was amazing, my husband said it’s the best pizza he’s ever had!
The tiramisu was also delicious!
We had a great experience, and would definitely recommend Vulcanica !
