Francisco’s place is ideally located for transport, tourism and eating purposes - it is literally around the corner from Castello Ursino and less than 15 minutes from the airport. Francesco is also extremely helpful and really made an effort to assist me with Catania’s idiosyncratic organisation - for example, there are three Piazza Giovani XXIII, each in different parts of the city. In sum, a lovely wee cave from which to leap out into Catania forays.
