Ristorante "I Giardini di Villa Fago" In Santa venerina

My husband and I are very happy we chose this venue for our wedding. From our first meeting, we received a warm welcome, along with kindness, extreme professionalism, and cordiality. Mrs. Marzia looked after us from the first moment until our goodbyes at the end of the celebration. In addition to the beauty and undeniable attention to detail, we appreciated the responsiveness to our every request and the very functional and effective solutions. The variety of spaces available to welcome guests makes the whole experience very interesting and enjoyable. We also received many compliments on the quality of the food. Thanks again to all the staff, and in particular, in addition to the aforementioned Mrs. Marzia, to chef Gianluca Lizzio and maître d' Riccardo, a discreet yet essential presence throughout the day.

We chose the Gardens of Villa Fago as our wedding venue, and I think we couldn't have made a better choice. It's easily accessible from the Giarre motorway exit. Nature and style combine perfectly. You'll fall in love with the English gardens on the slopes of Mount Etna; it's like returning to the fashion of the Grand Tour. We received tons of compliments; everything went perfectly, and we made a wonderful impression. The civil ceremony took place on Viale dei Tigli, and we enjoyed a delightfully romantic atmosphere. Despite the event taking place in the middle of August, we didn't suffer from the heat at all. The food was excellent; our guests enjoyed a varied and abundant buffet, a delicious and delicate dinner, and an equally satisfying dessert buffet. Choose GFV because the interior rooms are splendid and equally welcoming, even in winter and on rainy days. The gardens are always immaculately kept; I went there several times in the months leading up to the event and never found a blade of grass out of place. We can't say enough good things about the staff. Stefania guided us through every detail and coordinated the staff and all our suppliers flawlessly. Maître d' Riccardo was with us on the day of the event and took great care of all our guests with special needs, especially the older ones. It was a moving event and was such a success because they helped us organize it flawlessly. Thanks to them, we'll have wonderful memories that will last a lifetime. Go visit them.

Great location, excellent service. Attentive, fast, and beautiful waitresses. The food was excellent. The outdoor park offered a dreamlike view and fresh air.

We celebrated our wedding on July 12th at I Giardini di Villa Fago, and even today we struggle to find the right words to describe how perfect everything was. From our first meeting, Stefania assisted us with great professionalism and availability. Always present, attentive, and ready to reassure us about every detail. She accompanied us every step of the way, truly listening to us and turning our every idea into reality. On the wedding day, everything was handled flawlessly. Riccardo, the maître d', was a discreet yet essential presence: always one step ahead, attentive to our every need and that of our guests, ensuring we never lacked anything. The food was one of the highlights for everyone: every dish was carefully crafted, served with perfect timing, and truly delicious. The chef knew how to delight every palate, even the most discerning. And the location... simply marvelous. The manicured gardens, the elegant spaces, the intimate and refined atmosphere. It was exactly what we dreamed of, and the evening atmosphere made everything magical. We're still receiving so many compliments from friends and family. It was an unforgettable day, thanks above all to the fantastic team. Thank you so much ❤️

Marco and Margherita / Wedding June 20, 2025 - Messina We weren't familiar with I Giardini di Villa Fago, but we immediately fell in love with this venue after seeing photos of other events posted on social media. Once we met Marzia and Stefania, we had no doubts! My husband and I, like many couples these days, have lived away from our beloved homeland for several years, but the distance wasn't a problem because the entire staff was there for us constantly from the day we chose the menu to the day of our happy event! Rarely at weddings does the quality of the food chosen during the menu tasting match what we eat at the event. However, we can safely say that what we ate was SUPERIOR to what we tasted during the tasting. An infinite thank you goes to the Chef and Maître d' Riccardo! We've received so many compliments we can't even keep count! A magical place, superb food, and exceptional staff! Luck was on our side, allowing us to enjoy a peaceful evening and the view of Mount Etna! We hope to be back as guests or for other events you organize! Thank you!

I had a wedding in July in the afternoon. The place is stunning, huge, the garden is full of beautiful plants and really well kept. A magical place!

Day 29, we celebrated our wedding and I have to say, to say the least, everything was enchanting, perfectly organized, everything we chose and wanted together with my husband was followed to the letter, the chef cooked delicious dishes and all the guests complimented us. In the evening it became an enchanted place! The photos that were taken with the photography staff will be truly dreamlike and we can't wait to see them🥹 thank you so much to Metre and the girls, Stefania followed us until the end and the other girls were also really professional and sweet. Congratulations! Even though three days have passed, thinking back to everything I get emotional. They followed us for everything, one-of-a-kind organization! Especially for the moment of the balloon! Thanks obviously also to the staff of the band Sincro and the staff of Animazione Barone eventi🙂🙂 It was worth it! 💙💙💙💙💙 see you soon! Eleonora and Antonio

Wonderful location, delicious food

Very nice external location, food quality not up to the standards of a wedding

Location molto bella e curata, antipasto buono ma con poca varietà, abbiamo cenato a base di pesce e paradossalmente la pietanza migliore sono stati gli straccetti di asina cotti in show cooking, risotto di pesce con spuma di wasabi troppo sbilanciato sul piccante che copriva il pesce, la pasta fresca al limone era praticamente solo limone e non si sentivano i sapori del condimento, in fine il secondo ovvero pesce spada e pomodorini era davvero triste e non all'altezza della location. I dolci buoni. Servizio ottimo con camerieri gentili, con un po' di attenzione sul menù sarebbe da 5 stelle.
