La Tavernetta In Taormina

Local recommended this place. Located at beautiful photo spot in taormina, good service, and fresh seafood! Really enjoyed my dinner here💯

La Tavernetta, in the heart of Taormina, is a must-see for lovers of good food. Located in a quaint alleyway, it boasts a charming setting, both inside—well-kept and elegant—and outside, where the atmosphere of the historic center permeates the tables. The owner, present in the dining room, welcomes guests with professionalism and immediately conveys his profound knowledge of raw materials and passion for his craft, elements that are found in every dish. The raw fish appetizer is impeccable in its freshness and execution; the spaghetti with clams and chopped red shrimp is a true tribute to Sicily, while the roasted sea bream, in its simplicity, is perfect. The wine list is well-structured, with national and international labels, and a regional selection worthy of note. A restaurant where the quality, hospitality, and beauty of the location invite you to return.

Great restaurant in Taormina -- excellent food, drinks, staff and service. Try the linguine con astice!

Decidedly high prices, a disappointing experience. Two of us went (my friend and I), and as soon as we arrived, they showed us the catch of the day: very interesting, but fortunately we asked to see the menu first. We ordered a raw fish platter and a first course. Total: €104.50. Way too much for what we ate. The food was good, but nothing exceptional to justify the high price, especially considering there are excellent, less expensive places nearby. Two waiters were very kind and helpful, but the first one who greeted us—perhaps the most experienced—changed his attitude once he realized we weren't going to order much. He clearly seemed more interested in serving the "most profitable" tables. Unprofessional behavior: courtesy shouldn't depend on the final bill. In summary: although the food quality is good, I wouldn't recommend this restaurant due to the prices and selective attitude. It's best to consider other options in the area.

Incredible fresh fish. The service was incredible, really attentive and with excellent recommendations. 10/10 recommended

Wonderful dinner experience — great food, kind & attentive staff and an overall darling ambiance. Please do yourself a favor and give it a try!

Absolutely phenomenal place. To start, the owner and waiters were just fantastic. Super attentive and answered all questions - my friend doesn’t eat fish (they work with the local fishmonger to get the most fresh) and there was no issue - they had a delicious beef filet. Also have an amazing selection of wine! Would absolutely recommend.

Definitely a great seafood place if you can splurge a bit of money! The spaghetti with clams and raw shrimps is a game changer!

Cibo ottimo con assoluta qualità/prezzo.Servizio impeccabile.Lo consiglio vivamente a chi vuole trascorrere una bella serata in una location romantica,accompagnata da ottimi piatti.

Very knowledgeable and warm service combined with great food and wine. What more could you ask ! Would heartily recommend
