My husband and I stayed four days in Taormina and 3 of the 4 days we got away from the tourist hoards and lunched and relaxed on the beach. Seafood linguine, gambas, grilled squid all fresh and served down with the local white! Why would we come back. Easy, because on our first go around we asked if they took... More

Me and my girlfriend went to this restaurant today for lunch. Despite the basic seating outside we found the food to be excellent, well proportioned and great value! Not to be missed!

My husband and I had lunch here on our surface interval between dives with DiveSicily on Oct 20th. The weather was perfect, the food and service were great and it was a great place for people watching. The prices were also quite reasonable. They are right on the beach. Highly recommend.

During the 3 weeks I spent in Taormina I went down to Mazzaro bay often. And always had something in La Pigna. First, they rent out umbrellas and deck chairs for EUR 8 (!!!) and there is no discount if you eat or drink in the bar. You can bring the food and drinks down to the beach, though. I... More

This is a lovely little spot for lunch when you want a break from a hard days sunbathing! just a few steps up from the beach, this was a gem of a place. We ordered the Sicilian pizza with olives and anchovies and it was honestly the best pizza I've ever tasted! We shared one between the two of us... More

Another reviewer put it perfectly, you mustn't be fooled by the cafe casual look. The service was great and very friendly. The food was very good, everything we ate was tasty. We returned a second time and we all agreed it was very good and the price was reasonable. I our recommend this place anytime. The views were fantastic.

We got off the bus from Taromina and sat in the shade at the beach side cafe we had 2 very cold Messina beers and a hot crispy paninni with soft mozzarella ham & tomato. The cafe was full of happy Sicilian families being tended to by 0ne solitary waitress who was absolutely brilliant, some people are just gifted. We... More

Don't be fooled by the overly-casual beach-bar appearance of this restaurant - the food we ate here would not have been out of place served up at many a fine-dining restaurant (albeit on a pizza plate!). The beautiful presentation of the dishes is reflective of the care taken in preparation (the grilled vegetable plate was a work of art), and... More

If you are looking for peace and for rest, just forget it there! People are very nice and they offer many services, from showers to beach waiters, but it's simply too crowded and you cannot move sunbeds as they are too close to others. No room for privacy...
