I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiananella città Taormina della Messina

11/10/2025: It’s a close 4. We did enjoy our evening here and most reviews are close to the truth. It’s not spectacular but it’s far from the bad reviews that drag it down. The service was really good, being from Canada our Sicilian (Italian) is non-existent at best so from the moment we arrived we were greeted in English, it’s a little thing but makes a difference. The carafe of red was exactly as I expected and since I only drink red wine in Italy (sue me) I loved it! The bruschetta was fine, nothing to rave about and the same about the scampi pasta. But the fresh sea bass with potatoes and grilled veg was excellent. We were there second week of October so it was quieter but the terrace was still fairly busy. We enjoyed it but it didn’t stand out as a return trip.

06/10/2025: Lovely place, lovely food, lovely people. Just a little disappointing to be charged 14€ for a half litre carafe of house wine

10/10/2025: Ristorante da Giovanni was a fantastic experience! The seafood pastas were absolutely delicious, and the view of Isola Bella was breathtaking. A perfect spot to enjoy fresh Sicilian flavors by the sea! 🌊🍝✨ Desert was something special too!

03/10/2025: I was looking for delicious food in Taormina and came across this place after seeing good reviews. The view was amazing, and I was so satisfied with everything I ordered. I especially loved the cool and wonderful service from Matteo💕, so if I had stayed longer, I would have come back again. Thank you for making my Taormina memories so good. I highly recommend this place to anyone who's thinking about it, don't hesitate!!!!👍👍

12/09/2025: Very cute and romantic restaurant, with a lovely atmosphere (the restaurant is located in an alleyway up a staircase). The service is excellent, the waiters are very friendly, and the food is delicious. Reservations are essential, as there isn't much space.

11/09/2025: A delightful restaurant in the center of Taormina, with delicious food and truly excellent service. Special mention for the cannoli, which are out of this world!

19/09/2025: Romantic and delicious. There's a raw fish market where the shrimp are delicious. If you order the fish of the day, they'll bring out all the pieces so you can choose one.

18/09/2025: Excellent food, wine and the service. Really good

16/09/2025: A true gem in Taormina. Fresh, beautifully presented dishes (the tuna tataki was outstanding) and some of the best service we’ve had in 3 weeks across Italy and Sicily. Warm, professional, and delicious – highly recommend.

11/09/2025: Authentic cuisine, excellent food, and very good service – highly recommended!

07/10/2025: Everything is perfect, just the portions is too small for the price. Service is great.

05/10/2025: Great view and really good food! Service is not any less… I have been coming here for a few years now and it is only getting better

01/10/2025: Very good restaurant: fresh fish, splendid service and very nice, tranquile atmosphere right around the corner of the busy streets of Taormina.

27/09/2025: Amazing spot and a must if you’re in Taormina! We celebrated my mom’s birthday here and everything from the food to service and atmosphere were perfect. Can’t recommend enough, our favorite spot in Italy.

11/10/2025: A delicatessen wine bar. Great. We went in hesitantly and were pleasantly surprised. The food was excellent, the service was excellent, and compared to other places, it was very affordable.

08/10/2025: Honestly it looked great and a nice vibe but the wine was really low quality - I was really suprised from all the good reviews. Staff was also a bit rude and didn’t seem to care much or have any knowledge of wine for that matter. 😅 wouldn’t go back

22/09/2025: Very good food! Amazing atmosphere in the garden. Great service.

21/09/2025: Excellent place, good food, quiet and elegant atmosphere

29/09/2025: Really good place to eat meat or chicken. Everything was really yummy and the staff were very friendly.

07/09/2025: Great pub for a quiet evening with friends! Generous portions and friendly staff!

08/10/2025: First of all, this restaurant is very good for Russian speakers because the waitress speaks Russian (I think she's Ukrainian according to the flag on the wall). The other thing is that the food is ordinary: the Bolognese, the tuna, the fritto misto di giorno are Roman-style squid🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️Where "misto" got lost, I don't know🤷🏽‍♀️I'm not satisfied with this restaurant. I have the feeling that I paid for something I didn't want... The tastes are ordinary, like the presentation. The waiters are good (I hope it wasn't the waitress's mistake with the squid dish), the atmosphere (in October 2025) was quiet, without noise, and we liked it.

08/10/2025: Insanely good seafood. Hard to find this quality.

05/09/2025: Excellent as every year! We come both summer and winter ✌🏽 Thanks, see you soon

29/08/2025: We were on a trip to Grado and, not knowing where to go for lunch, we asked a local, "When you want to eat good fish, where do you go?" The answer was De Gustibus. We sat at a table outside and were served immediately by two extremely kind waitresses. We ordered: two mussel soups in white sauce, fusilloni with shrimp and tomato sauce, and spaghetti with clams. All accompanied by a good local sparkling wine, mineral water, and two digestifs on the rocks. Since the place was very welcoming and we weren't pressured by the staff, we enjoyed a top-notch lunch, relaxing and enjoying good food. Good value. Fresh local fish. We'll be back.

23/09/2025: Beware of the grappa rip-off! After you've ordered and received the bill, a grappa is placed in front of you. You think it's on the house, since the bill was already ordered and the grappa wasn't. When you then want to pay, you're billed for the grappa separately, and the old bill is torn up. The food was okay, but this rip-off ruined our evening.

22/09/2025: The food was good, a bit expensive tho, but what you could expect for the location. The worst part was the service, they looked at us in the wrong way since the beginning, i would give it a -3 if the app let me... The woman looks at you as if she annoyed by your presence. Wouldn't recommend it

30/06/2025: Sat outside, at the top of the stairs, overlooking the busy, main street below. Decorated with fairy lights amongst the trees, people often stopped to take a photo of the restaurant. Service was impeccable. We enjoyed chats with the owners and staff and the food…the food was delectable! Local ingredients, fresh, tasty, bellisimo! Worth every cent! (We made a reservation)

30/06/2025: We visited this restaurant in Taormina, which is set in a truly beautiful location. We had pizza and it was excellent, with fresh ingredients and well-balanced flavors. The service was also excellent: the staff was always very polite and helpful, making the experience even more enjoyable. A place truly recommended for anyone looking to enjoy a good pizza in a nice and relaxed atmosphere. We visited this restaurant in Taormina, which is set in a truly beautiful location.

12/10/2025: Very friendly service! The waiters signore Sebastiano, signora Anjuna and everyone else were excellent personal. The food was delicious - nerver had such good grilled fish before. Especially the tuna steak. We loved it and will definitely come back! Thank you for this great experience!

11/10/2025: Excellent food and service, well worth the wait if they are busy!
