After a busy & tiring family day (long drive from Cefalu and day trip to Etna), Aurelio made us very welcome. He gave us a nice overview of the local history of Catania and made a recommendation for a local Trattoria (Da Nuccio, via Penninello) which had excellent seafood (possibly the best of our 2 week stay in Sicily). The appartment is really well located (nr to Duomo etc) and even our guide book stated that nearby via Crociferi was one of the most interesting streets in the city. I would say that if you are driving into the city for the first time, to be clear where you need to get to re Aurelio's place....as many one-way streets which foxed us (even with Italian sat nav).
