23/08/2025: I eat here often, and I can honestly say I've always felt very comfortable. The place is very clean, and the staff is very knowledgeable and friendly. The owner recommended the pasta dish off the menu: tonnarelli with crab. I must say, she gave us a very good recommendation, as it was delicious and filling. Not to mention the appetizers, which were the brushette with shrimp and the salmon and burrata. We left very satisfied, and we'll definitely be back. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

21/10/2025: !! AVOID THIS PLACE !! Entire place runs cluelessly. (Should look and believe other reviews) Arrive 10 minutes prior to the reservation. Got told to wait 5 minutes, but end up waiting more than 30. People arrived later got seated before us. Many tables’ food was missing or wrong.

20/10/2025: It was a meal we had been looking forward to, and it looked really delicious. The initial reception was also normal. We made an online reservation for 8:00 and arrived at 7:50. The waiter gave us each a glass of sparkling wine and asked us to wait for 5 minutes, but 30 minutes later we were still not seated. During this time, more people lined up, but no one showed us to the empty tables. It also looked like the diners were having trouble getting their meals. Someone who looked like the boss came out and pushed the diners who lined up later into the empty seats. Neither we nor the other diners who arrived earlier understood this arrangement. Based on this logic, we might not be able to get our meals until 10:00, which was a pity. In the end, we left and went to another restaurant. It would have been better if they had told us directly that the wait would be long, so that we could have decided whether to continue waiting, instead of constantly asking people to wait another 5 minutes. The online reservation could also be cancelled because it was meaningless.

10/10/2025: We enjoyed a beautiful dinner at the Gourmet restaurant and cannot say enough good things about it! The staff was incredibly welcoming, warm, kind, and accommodating. We had the pleasure of getting to know Giuseppe and he made sure our experience was unforgettable. The flavor combinations were exceptional and unique with fantastic service and ambiance. Grazie mille!! Nina & Gianfranco

08/10/2025: A magical place with a wonderful view where you can have an exciting food and wine experience!

05/10/2025: Nice view but horrible food with high prices. I don't recommend this place to eat in Taormina!

28/09/2025: Fantastic location, sea view on Isola Bella, one of the most beautiful places in the world 😍 Maximum professionalism and kindness. Top-quality food. The freshest fish here gives you a true taste of the sea. We'll definitely be back.

06/10/2025: Passing by at dinner time, we found arancini and pizzas, without having to wait too long. A good place to eat in.

26/08/2025: Nothing to say, everything was perfect

16/08/2025: Bright environment full of colors, good and assorted products

22/05/2025: I was at a birthday party that went very well: everything was very well-kept, the atmosphere and staff were very welcoming, the food was good and plentiful. It was worth coming from Rome, for loved ones it is always worth being there and the Circoletto was the right setting.

12/05/2025: An unforgettable experience at Circoletto – when cooking becomes pure emotion There are evenings that remain imprinted in the heart, and the one spent at the Circoletto was one of those rare occasions in which everything - absolutely everything - borders on perfection. From the first moment we were welcomed with warmth and professionalism by Gianfranco, the owner, who with his sincere smile and his passion for hospitality made us feel immediately at home. But it is at the table that a real spectacle of the senses unfolds. Each dish was a journey, a story, a surprise. The raw material? Simply excellent. Raw fish of a touching freshness, fresh pasta that tastes of expert hands and tradition, second courses worthy of a standing ovation. Impossible to forget the amberjack: cooked to perfection, clean flavor, balanced intensity. A dish that alone would be worth the trip. And then he arrives, chef Calogero, a professional of rare humility and extraordinary competence. He told us about his creations with authentic passion, explaining the soul of each dish, the origin of the ingredients, the reason for each choice. It's not just cuisine: it's art, culture, emotion. The service? Impeccable. The environment? Well-kept, welcoming, authentic. Special praise also goes to the cellar: a truly surprising selection of labels, with rare and unobtainable vintages that tell territories, stories and expert hands. Each wine served accompanied the dishes, enhancing their flavors and giving us further emotions, as only bottles chosen with love and expertise can do. A wine list that alone is worth the visit. There wasn't a single dish that didn't give us pleasure, amazement and gratitude. From the first to the last bite we perceived love, care and very high quality. Our vote? Five full, sincere, deserved stars. And a promise: we will return to Sicily soon, even just to be able to sit at that table again and let ourselves be enchanted. Thanks Circololetto. Thank you chef Calogero. Thanks Gianfranco. Until the next emotion. Patrizia and Luciano 🥰🥰🥰

22/09/2025: Beautiful place near the beach and excellent service, generous and tasty! Having had a beer and tonic, we weren't expecting such a cheap appetizer platter!!!! We'll be back!

10/09/2025: Be careful, if you don't order at least 2, 4 or 6 croissants, 3 cappuccinos, 3 coffees and anything else you won't need and you'll end up in line for all the orders, as happened to us for ordering two simple coffees.

01/11/2025: Very tasty food, friendly service. I recommend it.

08/10/2025: Always very friendly, and super fast in serving the food. The dishes are made with fresh products and very plentiful.

07/05/2025: Reception service and food not to be offered to animals! It is more than scandalous, to be avoided. The prices are exorbitant and the service is terrible. Absolutely to avoid

06/05/2025: Invited to dinner by friends. I must say that we had a good dinner. Quiet environment, very friendly staff. One flaw in the menu was that I didn't find grilled vegetables and berries for the panna cotta. For the rest nothing to complain about. The prices? I didn't pay. Medium-high range anyway. We were 4 adults and 2 kids.
