We went here most days during our week for a draught beer. The staff were extremely friendly, even recommending their favourite restaurant. The atmosphere was very relaxed and on our last day we had our lunch here - salads which were huge and very tasty. Missing it already ! More

We spent two afternoons here. One sunny hot afternoon watching the world go by and another during the biggest thunderstorm I have ever seen drinking wine and playing scrabble whilst taking shelter. Chilled out and a good place to relax. Would definitely go back for a visit. More

We visited this bar a couple of times during our holiday and really enjoyed the hospitality. The second time we really enjoyed listening to the excellent jazz pianist that was playing that evening. Definitely recommend this to enyone walking through Taormina. More

Great spot for watching the world go by. Really good live Jazz band when we were there but don't think that's every week. Staff really friendly and the drinks were much cheaper than other bars in Taormina - especially ones you can watch people on Corso Umbretto from. €3 for a bottle of beer. The food looked great too. Really... More

This is a fantastic bar. Spent almost every afternoon of our trip in this place and loved the staff, artwork, furniture, relaxed atmosphere and I totally agree with the other comments; Re di Bastoni has the best bruschetta in Europe ! Angela, Ireland More

The Bruschetta is amazing. You would never believe how good it tastes unless you try it. The owner told us the secret (and also taught us how to pronounce it like a sicilian!). I recently recreated it for some friends (as closely as I could), and it was a winner! More

Of all the restaurants/bars in Taormina, this was was my wife's and my favourite. It has a relaxed atmosphere, friendly staff and delicious food and drinks. Well-priced too. In my opinion, it has the best bruschetta in sicily, but don't take my word for it, go try it. More

This is a great bar right in the middle of the Corso Umberto which is the main street in Taormina, Sicily. It has a great atmosphere which spills out onto the street with tables giving you a great view to people watch right through the early hours of the morning. The draft beer is great and the local wines served... More
