11/09/2025: The home of Sicilian culinary excellence. I can't help but return here every year to enjoy the seasoned bread, gourmet sandwiches, and platters brimming with flavors still steeped in tradition. Friendly and professional family management. Congratulations on everything. See you next time!

21/10/2025: We had lunch at this Osteria on a Sunday in October. It's a secluded and welcoming place, the staff are polite and professional, and the food is very good. We ordered a fish parmigiana, which was good but a bit bland. We followed it with a baked grouper with citrus fruits and spinach, which was very good. It's a shame the spinach wasn't enough, and they didn't provide us with the weight of the grouper, which, given that it was fresh and weighed, should have been provided. The only downside is the excessively high bill: €90 per kilo for the fish and €20 for a glass of wine seems excessive to me.

20/10/2025: The service was genuine and warm, and they weren’t pushy to upsell. I appreciated their clear explanation of the catch of the day, including the offer to have the fish prepared in two ways: Sicilian capers and sultana stew, and homemade breadcrumbs. The fish was fresh and perfectly cooked. Kudos to the service team and chef!

01/10/2025: Traveling through Sicily, we landed here for lunch. Street parking is easy and free. The digital menu showcases delicious dishes, including antipasti, primie, secondi, and dolci. Surprising combinations of fish and meat, while maintaining tradition and offering a fresh, modern style. The wine list—which hasn't been digitized yet—offers a fine selection of regional whites and reds. We enjoyed a white wine from near Etna, a DOC Etna Bianca. We finished with a lovely dessert of a broken canoli with ricotta cheese and a warm pear tart with rum. Compliments to the chef and the service!

26/08/2025: Great food, impeccable service and the owner is a blast with the wines and beers

07/10/2025: An excellent place for evenings of fun and good food

03/10/2025: The best Margarita in Sicily (just in Messina would be an understatement), perfect aperitivo, aperitivo, and aperitivo all-you-can-eat, exquisite desserts, and friendly, always-on-the-go staff. Highly recommended!

26/09/2025: Simple and quick but good cooking.

24/09/2025: A mega bar, the drinks are top-notch, freshly mixed, and very reasonably priced. 5 stars so far. But then the food... The food, if only the sides, is also great. However, the fish burgers are only mediocre quality. The burger just didn't taste very good and was very heavy on the stomach. The salmon was probably not quite fresh and was therefore spiced with lots of lemon. The guacamole wasn't really guacamole. The tuna was okay, but not the quality of a steak; it was just pieces of tuna with "cartilage," which is a shame. I'm sure if they improve the burgers, this place will be a real hit! Great fries. Very friendly service. Great view!

09/10/2025: The restaurant is very nice. The food is fantastic. However, you have to be careful to ask how much the "catch of the day" costs per kilo. We had a wonderfully fresh fish, but it cost us €200. Even the wine with dessert was much cheaper in comparison. Other restaurants state in their menus that you should ask for the price per kilo. I didn't see that here, and we were surprised.

27/09/2025: Very welcoming place and excellent food!

02/10/2025: We grabbed two sandwiches at Stuzzikosa in the morning before our boat ride to Lipari. It is conveniently located about 3 blocks from the ferry dock. The two people that helped us were extremely friendly and were patient with our "broken" Italian and spoke to us in English. The sandwiches had very good meat, cheese, and fresh components. The cost was super reasonable (4.50 Euro each) and the sandwich was more than filling. I ordered the Pizzicoso and was very happy with my choice. I am definitely considering stopping at Stuzzikosa on the return trip from Lipari. This has been the best sandwich I have had in my two weeks in Italy!

05/09/2025: Very friendly owner. Sandwiches are very good. Definitely recommend!

23/09/2025: The lobster pasta was excellent, with just the right portions. Excellent wine selection, knowledgeable staff. Small but elegant, it's best to reserve a table.

23/09/2025: Everything was great. The pizza was delicious. The starter, consisting of fries and croquettes, was huge, and we were almost full for the two of us. Highly recommended.

10/10/2025: Had the porcine mushroom pizza. Sherlock Holmes would have had a hard time finding a mushroom .

23/09/2025: It was unexpected. We didn’t know the place, we are at the hotel nearby and we walked around and we have a pleasant surprise to discover this restaurant. The pizza was excellent, the sicilian salad also very good. The staff was very friendly and kind and the restaurant was nice. We highly recommend it. The pizza is a true Italian pizza. We love it.

15/08/2025: The staff is friendly, the fresh pasta and tiramisu are excellent. Fresh and quality products!

07/08/2025: After two weeks in Taormina, we discovered this hidden gem on our last day and what a wonderful surprise! The warm, welcoming atmosphere created by the kind family who runs the place made us feel right at home. The food was exactly what we needed: comforting and full of flavor. The vegetable soup was absolutely delicious, the lamb cotoletta was tender and perfectly cooked, and the tagliatelle and swordfish rolls were just fantastic. On top of all that, the prices were the best we found in Taormina — great quality without the tourist mark-up. I only wish we had found this place sooner! Highly recommended.

06/09/2025: A well-stocked delicatessen and butcher shop. Their cured meats are made in-house. The owner is very kind and helpful, and knows how to give good advice. I highly recommend it.

26/08/2025: Customers with my parents since the business was located, first in front of the railway station, then on Via del Piave (if I'm not mistaken the name). What can I say, top quality, great selection, jewelry-like display and unfortunately also prices (on some items, perhaps a little too excessive), but largely supported by the quality!!! For lovers of the genre, sausage by the log, together and equally, with the Sciuto brothers of Milo ct, the absolute best in Sicily!!!! Good fat-to-meat ratio, generous size, fennel and various herbs, reasonable price.
