La Cucina del Palladio Ristorante & Bar In Giardini-naxos

17/09/2025: Out of all the restaurants in Castelmola, this one is by far the best. Excellent food and service even when it's busy the staff still look after you. There is good choice and plenty of daily specials especially if you like fish. Not to expensive either. Can get very busy so would probably book so not to be disappointed. There is a view if you want it but to be fair was to busy enjoying the food and wine🤣

12/09/2025: The girl just deserves all the stars. I ate there twice and both times I was super happy with their food. The first time, it was like the first time, so without a reservation, but even then we were not left at the door and in 10 minutes we got a table on the terrace overlooking ... you guessed it from the name of the restaurant, ETNA. The food was very good and large portions, tasty food that I have not seen anywhere else. The second time we had a reservation so that we would not have to wait. I recommend the pasta Bolognese, the fish of the day and the TIRAMISU. Oh my God, what a dessert this tiramisu is, it is not to be missed. You have the main menu but also an additional menu, which depending on the week, the latter can be changed. The owners are super nice and when talking to us they showed us the photo of Etna erupting, in 2020. like when it was quite serious. The photo was taken right from the restaurant's terrace/balcony. Don't miss it, take my word for it
