Siculishh In Taormina

Fantastic intimate restaurant characterized by a pure and minimalist take on Sicilian cuisine, expert and genuine hospitality, and, finally, honest wines with minimal intervention. Highly recommended!

I was here for a wine tasting with 3 glasses of white wine + Stuzzichini for 35€, very good value for money for a tourist town like Taormina. The service here was remarkable: sommeliers who know the winegrowers and their vineyards personally! They both spoke impeccable English and it was clear that they enjoyed their work. They were also willing to offer guests alternatives if necessary (someone was vegetarian, someone else didn't like white wine, etc.). The wines were all organic, each glass was special and completely different in character. Every course was fascinating again. I was also impressed by how the wines went perfectly with the appetizers, a big compliment to the kitchen too. Even though they were “just” appetizers, they were just as sophisticated and creative as the wine selection. Would definitely come again.

We were lucky to find this on gmaps, firstly because we wanted a bit of an earlier dinner than the usual Italian dinner time. Impecabile food, knowledgeable staff in terms of wine pairing, a lovely experience overall. And that gazpacho 💃

Super service and knowledgeable advice about Sicilian wines.

The dishes taste really delicious and it's a bit of a change. But it would be better if the portions were bigger as they are already very small.

Unique location a bit away from the very busy center. Excellent wines at fair prices. Tasteful food. And english speaking staff

What an amazing gem in a town full of places to go. The natural wines were delicious, the staff were lovely and personal, and the food was incredible. I didn’t take enough photos of the food and wine! Thank you lovely Gabriele and Viola for your hospitality, you two are wonderful and you made one of the best meals of our three week trip in Italy.

Really enjoyed the whole experience. Knowledgeable staff really make it. The food was outstanding, small portions but high quality. Wine selection and good to get some background behind each wine. Highly recommend!

In a predominantly very busy town, this restaurant can be found in a quiet street and is quintessentially the classic ‘hidden gem’. If you love your food and wine then Bistrot Siculishh is definitely for you! Dining is across two shop front type properties, exhibiting an almost old world charm but also strangely with a slightly contemporary feel. Food and drink apart, the most striking impression we had of Bistrot Siculishh was the passion of the two young ‘servers’, they are much, much more than this, their knowledge of wine and the food was impressive and delivered in the most exuberant, informed and downright enthusiastic fashion. You cannot fail to be swept along with their description and recommendations. Food and wine - tasting menu and a la carte mixed with paired wine options or just a glass (min two glasses if the bottle has to be opened which is nothing less than reasonable). Food servings can be viewed as a tapas style but I would prefer to describe it as a tasting style presentation. Unlike many restaurants, the whole table does not have to take the tasting menu which is a refreshingly flexible option. Of our four diners, three had the white potato pie for starters. Served with mackerel and an intense lemon powder this was exquisite. The remaining dish was the parsley sponges with cod foie gras, anchovies and goats cheese which was beautifully presented and very tasty. For main course, our party had the baccala fillets served on couscous with olives, capers and saffron which were delicious. I opted for the slow cooked Sicilian brisket with a blueberry and red wine reduction paired with salad - wow, the brisket was just melt in the mouth and one of the most flavoursome meats I have ever tasted. Wines are mainly from small, local wineries and across the wines we were offered, we couldn’t fault the recommendations. Desserts are not advertised and change daily. Prior to it being offered , typically English we joked it would be apple pie but lo and behold it was an option with ice cream. We couldn’t refuse this and were definitely not disappointed. Individual pies, crunchy apple and a small portion of ice cream rounded off a delightful meal. We had a thoroughly enjoying and informative evening and we would definitely recommend Bistrot Siculishh.

Teníamos reservado este pequeño restaurante para nuestra primera noche en Taormina, afortunadamente en una calle fuera de la marabunta del centro de la ciudad y acertamos de pleno. Se trata de un pequeño restaurante que ofrece un trato magnifico, amable y simpatico, nos atendió una chica muy simpatica y para los vinos un chico superprofesional que nos dirigió hacia unos vinos de pequeñas bodegas Sicilianas magníficos que no gustaron mucho. Tomamos para compartir 1 Triple de Caponata Tradicional, con glaseado de calabaza y vinagre de ciruela con Caballa, vinagre balsámico solidificado y almendra. 1 de Raviolis frescos a base de huevo rellenos de queso ricotta, con mantequilla con infusión de limón, parmesano rallado y pistachos tostados DOP Raffadali, 1 de Trofie fresco a base de huevo con mantequilla infusionada con anchoas y pan rallado tostado. 2 Dolci. 4 copas de vino (32.-Euros).- TOTAL: 95,50.- Euros. Magnifica relacion calidad precio, muy muy recomendable.
