Antiva In Caronia

Natasha and owner Giovanni gave us a very warm welcome and took excellent care of us. Despite the foggy, gray weather, the view was beautiful. A fantastic property, situated on a hillside. The appetizer platter with fish and seafood was plenty for two and absolutely delicious. The pasta with cherry tomatoes, shrimp, and lemon was perfect. The spaghetti with mussels was also excellent. In both cases, the pasta was cooked to perfect al dente!

We had a wonderful lunch, highly recommended! Natasha gave us a very warm welcome, immediately played some music for us, and warmly recommended two of the dishes. Afterwards, we were served by the owner, Giovanni, and everything was wonderful. The cook, Grazia, knows how to handle seafood—simply divine! The sharp turn off the main road is well worth it, also for the beautiful sea view.

I chose to celebrate my 60th birthday at the Villa Antiva restaurant (Caronia), a phenomenal experience that I highly recommend. Together with family and friends, we spent a wonderful evening filled with joy, happiness, serenity, and harmony. The location was enchanting, the service was highly professional, attentive, precise, and always smiling. The evening was made unforgettable by the exquisite and refined dinner: seafood appetizer, fish main course with a side of baked potatoes, fruit salad, cake, sparkling wine, water, wine, and soft drinks, all fresh and plentiful. And the price was exceptional, too... thank you... heartfelt thanks to the owner.
