Sottosopra drink
Giardini-naxos
14/04/2026: A negative experience, unfortunately not an isolated one.
At the first polite comment, the staff's reaction was disproportionate and unprofessional: heated tones and a complete inability to handle criticism. It's precisely in moments like these that the quality of service is measured.
The point of the discussion was simple: after ordering wine by the glass, I was asked if it was okay, even if it was expensive, and only later did it emerge that the glass had been "poorly poured" by my colleagues, meaning it wasn't full, with a two-euro discount and no willingness to open a new bottle (an Etna red for around €80) "for me." An unclear dynamic, difficult to consider consistent with attentive service.
Added to this is an even more unpleasant episode: after inquiring about a forgotten jacket, I was explicitly told that the reply was sent at 2 a.m. "on purpose" to disregard my rest (I swear, those exact words). It was accompanied by an invitation not to show up again and a heated argument over the 10-minute delay (the taxi was late, and we even let me know; the music evening started very late because the place was empty and no one told us). During the interaction, personal references were also made, such as "I know who you are, I know your parents," which were completely out of place and irrelevant to the context.
I understand that managing multiple places can be challenging, but we've witnessed these scenes too often. Stress and the fact that you don't take days off cannot justify either angry attitudes or deliberately inappropriate behavior toward customers. A minimum level of professionalism should remain a constant, otherwise you should rest or seek professional help.
This isn't the first time I've witnessed the owner make a scene toward customers and employees; it seems like a a little too much.
14/04/2026: We are the team of Villa Nadira. We went to Sottosopra with our host after hearing about it from her, and after she had recommended it to many guests.
We’re not entirely sure what happened, but ordering a glass of wine turned out to be surprisingly complicated — lots of back and forth, with the waiter constantly coming and going. When we arrived, no one greeted us, and the waitress gave us an unfriendly look. So we ended up taking shots at the bar, as we were being ignored by the entire staff and didn’t even know where to sit. We waited in front of the kitchen.
Eventually, we realized our table was downstairs. The live music night was nice, although the place was quite empty and they started very late. We’re not sure what happened later while paying the bill — at the time, we thought they were just joking around.
One of us even played music and connected with the musicians, so overall there had been some genuinely nice moments.
Two days later, we found out we were no longer welcome. Another staff member accompanied our host for clarification and told us that the waiter had said he would grab them by the hair and throw them out. A supposed manager justified the situation by saying that the owner never has days off.
Avoid this place if you just want to have a good time without dealing with the staff’s anger.

Saglimbeni Andrea
Giardini-naxos
12/04/2026: We're staying at a campsite and after seeing Da Andrea online, we decided to try it. The chicken was delicious, with a lovely lemony flavor. The potatoes were also very good. I recommend it for a quick and tasty meal.
04/01/2026: Excellent, as a first experience
Exquisite chicken, kind and helpful owner

La Bussola
Giardini-naxos
29/09/2025: On the roadside, a stone's throw from the beach, lunch with a sea view, quality typical Italian dishes, pleasant service, I recommend
28/09/2025: Nice charcuterie board and amazing pizza. The staff was friendly and the location was nice and with a warm atmosphere. Not very expensive, about 67€ for the charcuterie board, two pizza, half a litre of white wine, one limoncelo spritz and we brought a few pieces of pizza that we couldn't finish.
Highly recommend.

Trattoria da lino sicilia bedda
Giardini-naxos
01/05/2026: Everything was beyond perfect. A truly excellent seafood lunch: very fresh dishes, balanced flavors, and meticulous presentation. Chef Lino demonstrates great talent, showcasing each ingredient with simplicity and creativity. Attentive service and a pleasant atmosphere. Recommended!
27/04/2026: Too much salt in all the dishes. The quality is below average. The price for these dishes is outrageous! I have eaten a lot of carbonara and I think this was the worst I have ever eaten. The reviews are unfortunately misleading unless we went on the wrong day.

Gambrinus
Giardini-naxos
05/05/2026: The service is quick and very friendly, and the place is cozy. However, the mixed fried fish platter fell short: the calamari was bland, there were very few small fish, and the filling consisted of salad, frozen fries, lemon, and orange slices.
03/05/2026: Menu prices are 40 % more than advertised

Cafè Chantal
Giardini-naxos
02/01/2026: The place advertised itself as dog-friendly. But I had a bad experience with my dog, who's bigger than a lapdog. Nowhere else has my dog been a problem. Here, several waiters and the owner made rude comments and asked us to leave. And they did it in a way that I think could have been done much more politely. The staff is and always will be unfriendly.
02/01/2026: The owner and staff were extremely unfriendly and unenthusiastic. I've never experienced such bad service anywhere in Sicily. The espresso was mediocre at best and overpriced for the quality. The atmosphere was very loud and uncomfortable.
I will definitely not be going back here.

Sea Sound
Giardini-naxos
17/09/2025: A good place for a simple meal, decent food. It's a shame we couldn't enjoy a sea view, but overall it was still satisfactory and the flavors were fairly classic.
10/09/2025: I had the pleasure of dining here last night. The place is very elegant and pleasant. We were served by very kind and helpful waiters, always ready to recommend the right food.
We started with a delicious shrimp cocktail, followed by spaghetti with clams and gnocchi with pesto and shrimp, all accompanied by a fruity white wine that made the dinner incredibly tasty. We finished with a panna cotta and an apple tart.
Nothing to add, everything was perfect. The sound of the waves in the background created a magical atmosphere.
If you love good food, this is a must-try, highly recommended!
