Our favourite restaurant in Taormina. Staff are great, helpful and very friendly. Food is awesome, but no need for a dessert each, as they are huge! Make this one of your things to do in Taormina.

By far the best restaurant we ate in on our 7 night stay in Taormina. Lucky enough to discover this place early on and returned on last night. Lovely bread, olive oil, and balsamic to start. Excellent wines, perfect pasta and risotto, very good steak and fish, friendly attentive staff. If you only have a couple of nights in Taormina... More

This was our favourite place to eat in Taormina; we came on the first night and also the last night (we wanted to save the best for last). The service was very attentive, friendly and helpful, the atmosphere was great and the food was stunning. The Polpo Luciana (Octopus in tomato sauce) and the fresh grilled fish 'Messina Style' was...

Small restaurant that is full of warmth with the great hospitality and care from Tony, Debbie and Maria. We ordered mussels and clam in white wine, spaghetti aglio olio, grilled prawns, raw fish, etc. wow!!! Every dish was amazing! The freshest most delicious mussels and clams we ever had! Must visit whenever in sicily

We visited this restaurant after getting married in Taormina, some friends booked it after dining there earlier in their stay. The food was typically Sicilian but cooked perfectly and all of the ingrediants were of a really high quality. The clams and mussels to start were some of the freshest I've ever had and the grilled squid was the best... More

We went to this restaurant on our last night in Taormina, on the recommendation of the hotel receptionist. We were recommended three restaurants, and chose this one on the basis of reviews. So glad we did. The welcome and ambiance is exceptional. I would say that everyone working in the service industry should come and observe how things are done... More

We chose this restaurant based on a few of the reviews on Tripadvisor and it was definitely worth it. We had the linguini fruitti di mare and the almond encrusted fish. Both dishes were amazing! We went for lunch which was quiet but the staff said that they are booked almost every night for dinner. Enjoy!

Great Sicilian food and experience.This restaurant was recommended to us by the locals and it was indeed a tasteful experience.The seabass with flaked almonds that I had was very fresh and my taste buds were tantalised. The starters we had were also good.The desserts were to die for. My husband loved his seafood linguine dish and my brother,who had his... More
