Gault&Millau's review 2026

Pizzeria Etna, beloved by both locals and travellers, has long since become more than just an address for great pizza. It is a relaxed culinary stop where the soul of a classic pizzeria meets thoughtfully crafted dishes. The central role still belongs to the diverse, generously topped pizzas made from carefully proofed dough. Among the seasonal highlights is the pizza with porcini mushrooms and cured salami, where earthy forest flavours intertwine with the richness of stracchino cheese and the juiciness of mozzarella. Every ingredient shines on its own, while the whole remains balanced, aromatic, and irresistibly inviting. The homemade chicken liver pâté immediately draws attention - delicate and creamy, elevated with orange marmalade and toasted almonds that add a pleasant crunch, while parsley oil contributes freshness and herbal notes. The chickpea hummus impresses with its rich, velvety texture, enhanced with truffle and black salt. Among the bolder creations, the potato tacos stand out, filled with juicy pulled pork. Wasabi adds sharpness, while fermented red onion brings brightness and freshness. The carbonara pasta is prepared in the traditional way: a silky sauce clings beautifully to homemade hand-rolled bigoli, accompanied by crispy pancetta and an extra touch of pecorino cheese.
