Very decent deli-style food

La Cucina dei Colori is an all-vegetarian restaurant where you pick what you want from the service counter, deli style. Items are clearly marked on the menu board as vegan or gluten-free, but it's all in Italian—the staff will be happy to translate for you though, or you can just look at what's offered today.

You can order a single item, or get a combo plate with 2, 3, or 4 items for a discounted total. 4 items will definitely fill your tummy. They have soda, kombucha, and wine, and a few desserts too. The kombucha tasted harder than I am used to back home, so if you avoid alcohol you might not want that. Take note: Most dishes are not hot, they are just slightly warm.

Pros: Large selection of items., At least half the offerings are vegan., Friendly staff.

Cons: Food isn't hot.

Lecker und gute Preise

Es gibt einige vegane Optionen. Man kann sich auch mehrere Speisen zusammenstellen. Ich hatte das pulled vegan und baked caponata. Zum Nachtisch gab es einen extrem leckeren raw chocolate cake.

Mediterrane Catina Food

We went there twice because they offer different items every day. We really appreciated that the staff cared about vegan options and clearly told us which dishes were vegan. You can choose a combination of different meals served on one plate — either 2, 3, or 4 options. For us, the 3-meal combo was the most suitable. Our favorite items were the chickpea fritters and the gnocchi. They also take care of some stray cats, which is just an extra point in my book.

Pros: Mediterane Food , Different combos, Fresh

Nice place that could use a bit more flavour

I think the vibe of this restaurant was really nice and everything on the menu sounded delicious. But in the end most of the food we ordered was a bit bland and could have used a bit more salt and/or spices/herbs. I expected a bit more but the food was still good.
We went there without a reservation and still got a table, but maybe we were lucky.

Pros: Friendliness of staff, Atmosphere

Cons: Food was a bit bland

Not too excited

The food felt like something from a school canteen, and served like that.

Glad I stopped

Could not leave Catania before going to thus place. Ironically it was near the trattoria my colleague was boasting about cos if their meat. 🤮.

Well worth a visit. Two dishes for 12 Euros and 2 euros for each additional. Loved the food and will go again when I return to Catania.

Cannit wait.

Pros: Food, Service, Pricing scale

Cons: Cannot think of any

Fresh, vibrant and friendly

The sweet and sour red cabbage was utterly delicious! Definitely the best cabbage dish I’ve had.
Portions are a little bit small and not hugely filling for me unless I got a lot of dishes, but then the price point is higher so isn’t as good of value.



I came here twice when in Catania and would definitely recommend making a reservation here.It’s quite loud inside and tables are communal

Pros: Food arrived quickly , Fresh foods that once gone are gone

Cons: Let street seller in, Can be a bit loud

A palette of tastiness

Cozy little restaurant with friendly staff. They suggested the selection of various meals we eventually had and I am glad we took the advice. Everything was tasty and I especially liked the couscous salad and the lasagna. The walnut bread was delicious too. Recommended!

Great veggie/vegan restaurant in Catania!

This was my second time at La Cucina Dei Colori and I had a very good experience. There aren’t many vegan places in Catania so this is a welcome surprise . The food is varied and delicious and the staff were friendly and helpful. The outside tables really enhance the dining experience! The first time I went we waited quite a while but this time the food was served quickly and efficiently. I definitely recommend it!

Very disappointing experience

We were treated rudely by this restaurant. We arrived just prior to opening to see if we could secure a table for dinner. They offered us either a 30 minute seating outside, as they said the outside tables were booked, or a position at the front table inside, which we accepted. When we returned at opening less than 10 minutes later they had given the booking to someone else (the only people in the restaurant). They were unapologetic about this and offered us seating towards the back of the restaurant near the kitchen which was totally unsuitable. If they weren’t going to hold the table for us they shouldn’t have gone through the pretence of taking our name as a booking. They clearly knew the people they had given the table to & we can only assume they are not interested in tourists. This was a very disappointing experience.

I like them

There are few vegetarian places in the Catania, so I appreciate every of them. But in La Cucina Dei Colori the food was really good and they had several vegan options, I was very glad.

Everything is more of a side dish

There seem to be not a lot vegan restaurants in Catania so we had to try this one. Unfortunately we didn't enjoy the food. We had a cold vegan lasagna that tasted super artifical, dry chickpea flour "pancakes" and because we were still hungry because of the small portion sizes brown rice with zucchini and peppers. Which was more of a side dish. If you want to support vegan/vegetarian places you can give it a try... The dessert was good and they have local drinks.

Good veg restaurant

Lots of vegan dishes to choose from. They make also traditional Italian and sicilian dishes, which is appreciated. I enjoyed the food and the deserts were all vegan.

Pros: Good food, many vegan options, You can choose more than one main

Lovely food

Great, wholesome, plant based food. The vegan lasagna and brown rice salad were delicious.
Chickpea fritters, quinoa salad and potato, and green bean salad were also lovely
The only downside was that the food was just warm and the fritters cold.
