The photographs of the dishes served and the receipt from a lunch in a restaurant in Catania, Sicily, aroused amazement among many users who left comments on the post spread by the customer.
In an era marked by significant increases in costs, those who want a relaxing break in a restaurant, a trattoria or a farmhouse must pay attention to expenses. Eating out, for many, has become an occasional luxury, necessary to manage the family budget with caution.
However, this is not always the rule. There are still places that could be described as true “oases in the desert”, where it is possible to enjoy excellent meals at prices that are not prohibitive, and sometimes even ridiculously low. The key is to research with dedication and rely on word of mouth. Such an example was highlighted by Leo, member of a Facebook group that deals with exchanging advice and reviews on restaurants and similar establishments where it is possible to dine splendidly without spending a fortune.
What did you eat
Leo said he had lunch in a restaurant in Catania, Sicily, for a quick and informal lunch break based on fish. In the post, published recently, he described the meal consisting of half a portion of tuna linguine, half a portion of mixed fried food with calamari and cuttlefish, all accompanied by two half bottles of water. He decided to share his experience because he was impressed by the quality of the food and, above all, by the price paid.
The amount spent
How much did he spend? The amount, shown on the receipt, is really minimal compared to the average prices: a total of 8 euros, with 3.50 euros for the mixed fried medium, 3 euros for the tuna strips and 1 euro for each of the two bottles of water. This price surprised many users who commented on the post, including one in disbelief who wrote: “But how is this possible?”. Some were skeptical, suspecting that the low price might hide a lower quality of the ingredients. However, several comments confirmed that the food in the restaurant is good and the fish is fresh.
