Il Peperoncino In Napoli

When I went there were just seven of us, so I can't comment on the atmosphere, but it looks very nice. I had a tuna carpaccio, grilled swordfish and a tiramisù. Prices were reasonable considering we're in Taormina.

Little-known, beautifully hidden. Quiet, refined, and cool for a summer night. Shrimp and fish fritters as an appetizer. Then we shared a tuna with a rosé on the table. When you get to the end of the meal, you want to go back, dish by dish, until you get to the appetizer. And that's exactly what I did ;) Quiet and friendly staff. Kind and discreet. The chef was even kind enough to come and ask if you liked your meal. Here, you don't wait, you eat. And you eat well. Short wait. Lots of flavor. The wine selection isn't huge, but it's well-selected. It's one of those places where you don't care how much you spend. You're at home. I'll be back as soon as I can.

We had the Carbonara (the real Roman version), Spaghetti Aglio e Olio (simple but delicious), and Spaghetti alle Vongole (good, although the clams could have been a bit more flavourful). The desserts were absolutely outstanding: the cannolo, tiramisu, and pistachio mousse were all exceptional. The service was professional, attentive, and above expectations—especially considering we're in Sicily, where service can sometimes be more relaxed.

The restaurant was very quiet the day we visited in early July, the atmosphere was a bit strange. The waiter was very pleasant. The meal was very good but overpriced for the portions served. For example, the homemade ravioli with pistachio sauce was excellent, but there were literally only four ravioli on the plate for €20. The total came to €90 for three people, including a child, and only one beer in addition to still water.

We returned after several years and it was once again an excellent choice!!

Fresh, non-touristy food. A relaxing location compared to the restaurants immersed in the chaos of Taormina, but still very central. Highly recommended.

A fantastic calm refuge in the crowded old town of Taormina. Quiet and relaxed atmosphere and very good authentic Sicilian cuisine.

Beautiful restaurant, I highly recommend it. Very good restaurant. Thank you very much.

Cozy restaurant, delicious food, friendly service, in a secluded but easily accessible quiet location. I recommend it!

One of the best restaurants in Sicily. Fast, friendly, efficient, and attentive service. The food is delicious and meticulously prepared, with both beauty and flavor. Order the swordfish; it's a local fish and the preparation is delightful. And the Sicilian cannoli for dessert is everything you need in life – the best ricotta cream you'll ever eat.
