Trattoria Piazza Badia
Taormina
01/03/2026: The best restaurant un Taormina! Great food, nice people, unique atmosphere. Absolute must visit!
28/02/2026: A truly excellent restaurant, the kind of place you'll always want to return to. The menu offers a comprehensive selection of fish, meat, and pizza, all carefully crafted and flavorful. The swordfish rolls are simply superb, one of those dishes that alone is worth the visit.
The wine selection is extensive and of excellent quality, perfect to accompany every course. The staff is polite, attentive, and respectful: you feel welcomed like family, with that genuine courtesy that truly makes the difference.
The location is another great asset. Situated in the charming Piazzetta Badia, the restaurant is intimate and comfortable in the winter, while in the summer it's right in the heart of the nightlife, offering a lively and pleasant atmosphere.
A complete experience in every way: highly recommended.

Osteria RossoDiVino
Taormina
01/01/2026: A memorable December 31st: we ate outside even though it was raining, warmed by blankets, the fire, and above all by the attentive staff who pampered us until the very end.
Jacqueline was an excellent hostess.
21/12/2025: What an experience ! Fantastic apetizer (sardinas fried to perfection with a simple home made mayonaise) and ensalata de bacalao with grapefruit and olives. My taste sense just exploded. Luckily there was a glass of the finest sauvignon to help getting back to earth 🙈😇. Delicious it was. Thank you very much.

Al Saraceno
Taormina
07/01/2026: Excellent restaurant: delicious food and a spectacular location, with a breathtaking view of all of Taormina and Mount Etna right across the street. During the summer, a splendid upstairs terrace is also available. Highly recommended, especially for the kindness of the staff.
We chose a raw fish appetizer to share, two first courses (a risotto and tagliolini), and, to finish, a dessert. Everything was delicious, and we had a truly wonderful time. Thank you, Alfio!
03/01/2026: Expectations are inevitably high in a restaurant of this caliber. And it must be said right away: they weren't disappointed, even if there was a slight sense of "it could have been better."
The setting is refined, elegant but not stuffy, with a warm, well-lit dining room and a nighttime view that pleasantly complements the dinner. The service is one of the strong points: extremely kind, attentive, never intrusive, and capable of making you feel welcomed from start to finish.
The fried seafood is well-executed, using quality ingredients, dry and light. However, for a €25 dish, the portion is objectively modest: two people can eat, yes, but with the feeling that something is missing. More than the quality, here it's the quantity that doesn't live up to the asking price.
The risotto with shrimp tails and cheese is perfect, balanced, and well-creamed. Good, without a doubt. But at this level—and especially at €25—you expect that wow factor, that bite that lingers in your memory. In this case, it doesn't explode; it remains a good dish without becoming memorable.
The real surprise was the soup: intense, deep, enveloping: truly, very good, one of those dishes that justify the cuisine and leave a lasting impression.
Overall, a good experience, pleasant and refined, with room to become excellent. A restaurant that has everything to convince, but which could be more daring with some dishes to fully justify the bill.

La Grotta Azzurra
Taormina
25/02/2026: ⛔️AVOID THIS RESTAURANT
I ordered the Crudo Royal (€30 - Scampi, Fish Carpaccio, Red Prawn, Tuna, Oyster) tonight.
Please take a look at the picture to see what I actually received, aside from the quality.
Waiting time: 45 minutes (in an empty restaurant!?)
Plate check: loads of tiny scampi, tuna, red prawns (without tongs to crack them open), and some kind of white stuff.
NO FISH CARPACCIO!!!
NO OYSTER!!!
On top of that, everything, EVERYTHING, was frozen, thawed (hence the long wait), and then marinated in oil.
The poor, pale seafood was cold and slimy. He said it was oil... it was thawed stuff!
Incredibly disgusting.
I could only wash it down with white wine.
I should have sent the plate straight back to the kitchen; this is completely unacceptable!!!
Before paying, I wanted to know where the oyster was.
I only just noticed the missing fish capaccio.
The chef made excuses... nothing was delivered this evening, but he compensated.
Compensated with what?!
I ordered the most expensive appetizer, and he didn't want me to change my mind, so he decided to simply alter the dish for me.
I wasn't asked beforehand, nor was I informed.
That's incredibly disrespectful and dishonest.
Communication is everything. Regarding the slimy leftovers, he claimed they were marinated.
It's a disgrace that such a person is a chef in a restaurant; shame on you!!!
I paid the €40 without further discussion, but he more than deserves this bad review.
The waitress was only physically present. She never came by to ask if everything was alright, if I wanted another glass of wine. Nothing.
A completely bizarre experience.
If your health is important to you, please spend your money elsewhere!
25/02/2026: We stopped here on a whim and had a very good meal (mussels, spaghetti carbonara, penne alla Norma). The dishes were not only perfectly prepared but also beautifully presented. We didn't have to wait long. A true professional with a passion for their work is at work here.
The server was probably still in training, but very attentive and friendly. However, the clientele was quite small, consisting of only two couples.

La Tavernetta
Taormina
09/02/2026: My wife and I dined here while on vacation. The setting is absolutely lovely on the steps. The food — while not innovative or unique — was perfectly cooked and tasty. I would normally have given this place 5 stars were it not for the obnoxious service.
I asked the server for two glasses of red wine to try before choosing one. There was no list of wines by the glass (mind you), so it was not clear how many total wines there were by the glass. Or if a wine by the glass list existed, it wasn’t presented to us. The server brought out the glasses, but I didn’t care for either so I asked if there was maybe a 3rd I could try. That’s when — in the most condescending manner I’ve ever experienced from a waiter in my life — they scoffed and laughed at me saying “in Sicily there are only two types of red wine.” Translation: “you idiot…why are you bothering me with such dumb requests.” I was so astonished and rattled at how they mocked me that I had to excuse myself from the table and go to the bathroom to take a pause. When I came out of the bathroom I was visibly shaken that the owner came up to me to ask what was wrong. I told him what happened and asked for a new server. The owner — a truly gracious soul whose wife was about to give birth any day — offered to be our server for the night.
While the owner did his best to rectify the situation, the evening had already been ruined. I would’ve given 1 star had it not been for the kindhearted owner who understood the importance of service relative to the high prices they charge.
While this happened maybe 9-10 months ago, it still pops into my mind from time to time. I’m writing this bad review for my own personal closure so I can stop thinking about how mistreated I was, and to warn the owner that others will leave bad reviews if they keep that obnoxious waiter on staff. And, for the record, their staff should be educated on Sicilian wine better. While there are indeed two main red varietals Sicily is famous for, there are plenty more that are grown in Sicily. So they mocked me for not knowing something that they were completely wrong about. How ironic.
24/01/2026: Program not updated. It is closed.

Franco Wine Bar & Typical Sicilian Food
Taormina
04/10/2025: Short and to the point. It's delicious and affordable.
02/10/2025: The three stars are only for the arranchinis. We ordered coca cola zero and they gave us something else that they called “sicilian coca cola zero”. They didn’t tell us for that thing as we were talking to be bottled and to take it to go.

Shelter Ristorante and Pizzeria
Taormina
09/11/2025: We’ve been all around Italy and have never had a bad meal until tonight. Terrible pizza, tasteless crust and toppings. Had the Seabass supposedly encrusted with almonds….. horrible as well. I saw someone at another table barely eat their pizza as well. Don’t go here.
07/11/2025: We had our first lunch of our 2 week Italy trip here. We loved the Margherita and pesto pizzas. My husband also got the gnocchi, which he loved. Cute outdoor spot for lunch, would recommend.

Ristorante Granduca
Taormina
25/01/2026: Service is a disaster. Zero customer service.
18/01/2026: We had a reservation for 12:00 on New Year’s Day, but were not seated until 12:47. During this time, staff repeatedly told us it would be “another 10 minutes,” which was said multiple times without any clear update or honesty about the delay.
While waiting, we could overhear staff discussing that the owner had decided to open at 12 following New Year’s celebrations, and that several staff members did not want to be there. When we eventually entered the restaurant, tables were still being set up, and we were asked to wait in a seating area for a further extended period.
Once seated, we were not provided with menus or offered drinks. After asking three separate times for menus—each time being told “five minutes”—a further 15 minutes passed with no service. At that point, we decided to leave.
For an establishment that presents itself as high-end and holds a Michelin star, this level of organisation, service, and professionalism was extremely disappointing. Delays can happen, but poor communication, lack of basic service, and unprofessional behaviour are not acceptable at this standard. The experience did not meet expectations, and staff training and customer service clearly need improvement.
