About us

A Sicilian trattoria in Santa Venerina, between Mount Etna and the sea.

Our story

Trattoria Don Giovanni was born in 2024 from a passion for cooking that Seby (the chef) built up over the years, and from his father (Don Giovanni), an incorrigible man of a hundred sides, who believed in him and in what he could do from the very start, together with his mother Maria, who makes every detail unique and special.

Here, together with the whole team, cooking is a passion; here Sicilian tradition comes back to life. Classic Sicilian dishes reinvented, made with carefully chosen ingredients and a creative touch that surprises you from the first bite. From the great classics to the chef's own creations, every dish is a journey through the authentic flavours of the island… with a brand-new elegance.

A welcoming setting, attentive service and a tailor-made menu to make every occasion… unforgettable.

Trattoria Don Giovanni: where Sicily meets innovation, where every table becomes a celebration, just like at home. Thank you to everyone who helps us grow a little more every day.
