The story
Located on Via Salvatore Tomaselli, Le due Catanie has become a point of contention within the local dining scene due to its focus on novelty-sized portions. The restaurant is best known for its "Panino Gigante con Hamburger di Cavallo," a challenge-based menu item that has sparked significant debate regarding the balance between spectacle and culinary quality.
The venue’s approach recently drew sharp criticism from creator Romaffamata during his "Anti Foodporn Tour." In his review, Romaffamata condemned the giant horse burger, specifically citing poor ingredient quality, undercooked nuggets, and hollow onion rings. Beyond the plate, he characterized the restaurant's promotional tactics as "irresponsible marketing," ultimately questioning the sustainability of prioritizing oversized challenges over substance. For those seeking a thoughtful meal in Catania, this establishment serves as a cautionary example of how novelty dining can sometimes overshadow the fundamentals of good food.
