19/04/2026: A quick reflection: I've been frequenting Taormina since I was 14, when, penniless and a little envious, I would spy on the "grown-ups" sitting at the Mokambo café, which wasn't your average bar but a mandatory stop, not for everyone, to start the evening. Playboys and dandies would set the already sultry summer evenings ablaze with their presence, smiles laced with seduction on tanned faces and white suits with unbuttoned shirts. The evenings continued at the "Giara" of the great Cico Scimone and then the Manuli brothers. I watched them—Turi Pollicina, Mimmo Cassaniti, Vito Costa, Carlo Spina, to name a few—and I waited until I grew up to be able to match or surpass them. Love, betrayal, and unscrupulousness passed over those tables, and little by little I managed to secure a table that was always reserved in that whirlwind of emotions called Mokambo. Together with lifelong friends Giovanni Costa, Seby di Giovanni, Alfredo Minissale, Ugo Pollicina, and Guido Costa, we spent decades doing what was natural to us: experiencing the nightlife in all its strangest facets, to the fullest and without limits. Years later, now married and "with my head in the clear," as they say, I found myself in Taormina last Saturday evening with my wife, and after dinner at "cu ti lu dissi," an excellent restaurant in Porta Catania owned by friends Fabio and Francesco, we decided to have a drink at Mokambo. We walked along the Corso, with many shops closed due to the late hour (9:10 PM), and to our great surprise, we found Mokambo CLOSED. Asking around, we were told that closing time was 9:00 PM. 9:00 PM. 9:00 PM. How sad. One of the historic symbols of Taormina's nightlife closed at 9:00 PM. But does the new ownership (Dolce & Gabbana) know that nightlife in Taormina starts after 9 PM? Shame on them!!! The time for weirdness is certainly over for us, but I believe an era that saw us as the protagonists of the last episode is over!!!

06/07/2026: The menu online said tuna, they didn't have it. Little food for an incredibly high price and not particularly good. Fussy service, in short, steer clear. Go to Caffe Solaris right above instead

02/07/2026: I really enjoyed the seafood, the atmosphere was delicious, and the view was beautiful 😁🌷🍵

09/07/2026: After visiting Taormina mid-morning and spending the afternoon in Isola Bella, we decided on the way back to the car to visit Taormina again to have their famous cannoli at Pasticceria Roberto and then have a drink before returning to Catania. There were so many people, and the restaurants and bars were packed. We were about to leave without ordering anything, but then we stumbled upon this place that surprisingly had very few people. There were four adults and two children. We went in, sat down at some tables, and after a while, the waiter came. One of the children had gone to the bathroom, and I took advantage of the opportunity and went just as the waiter arrived. When I came out of the bathroom, I saw the waiter talking to the others, and when I started telling him what we wanted to order—an Aperol Spritz, some beers, water, a Coke—the waiter gave us the dinner menu. We told him we weren't going to have dinner, just drinks. He replied that he couldn't serve us what we were ordering because, since it was dinner time, you either eat or have a drink, but it all had to be cocktails. We responded that we wouldn't order anything then, basically because... There were two children, and I don't drink alcohol... and we were leaving... to which the waiter replied that two of us had used the restroom, wasting water and toilet paper, and that he had to charge us... we were stunned, but we still asked how much we had to pay... and he said €5... I've never in my life had it cost me so much to relieve myself... we paid the €5 and left... NO WONDER THE PLACE WAS ALMOST EMPTY WHEN ALL THE OTHERS WERE PACKED... it's the first time in my life that someone in a bar has told me what to drink... oh... and another thing... the waiter implied that we came in to go straight to the bathroom and intended to leave... which isn't true... at least not in our case... if we only wanted to use the restroom, we would have gone to the cable car restrooms, which are a 5-minute walk away and on our way to the parking lot where we had the car.

08/07/2026: Terrible owner. No wonder the place is empty. How this place is still in business is beyond me. Place Stinks as well

01/07/2026: Had two lemon lemonades on the terrace. An unfriendly lady charged 12 euros for these two drinks (6 each), while the price displayed at the cash register is 3.50 each. They charge tourists whatever they want here. Must not do.

28/06/2026: Superb experience, very friendly waiter. Reasonable prices and a large terrace away from the crowds.
