Only pizzeria I know of in Catania that makes gluten free pizza ;-) just in case. It's about 15 min by car from the house, in a nice village called Aci Castello (visit the castle on a lava rock!)

Very lively place for a young drink outdoors. This place turns into a youngster get-together on mondays. The area around it is called Pescheria (fish market) and although a bit scruffy it's cool.

Arts & Culture
Go visit the opera theatre if you can (it's often closed but very beautiful inside). At night (especially in the winter) this turns into a lively area filled with bars.
