At Meccanismo, an interesting spot in Canalicchio (Catania), tapas are definitely one of the highlights: there's a huge variety and they are all delicious, from fried artichokes to fried tuma cheese, fried pasta, beef tartare, and much more. From 7:00 PM to 8:30 PM, they are available as part of a special offer including a cocktail, but they are also excellent for dinner if you order a few, or as an appetizer. Open from 7:00 PM to 2:00 AM.

 

The selection of tapas is truly vast, and that's the best part: you can put together your own apericena (or dinner) by picking from many different options, all well-prepared and tasty.

Apericena, Appetizer, or Dinner

At Meccanismo, tapas work perfectly at any time:

  • From 7:00 PM to 8:30 PM, there is a dedicated offer that includes a cocktail: the ideal way to start your evening.
  • They are also perfect as an appetizer or as a full dinner, perhaps by ordering a variety to share with friends.

And how is the meat?

The restaurant also has a large area dedicated to grilled meat, which is high-quality and carefully prepared — I talked about it in my dedicated review.
