I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiananella città Taormina della Messina

12/10/2025: The best restaurant in the area. Very tasty food (thanks Mr. Santino), very good value for money. Pleasant atmosphere, view from the terrace to Isola Bella, elegant and welcoming owners. Good luck!

10/10/2025: Great food and very reasonable prices! Would highly recommend

26/09/2025: Had a wonderful dinner here! It was our favorite meal of the trip. Staff was super friendly

19/09/2025: Terrifying: the menu was very limited, which makes you think the dishes are specialty dishes. Well, considering the prices, you can understand that, but neither one nor the other. The food was simple and poor. The prices were abusive. In short, it was a disaster. €60/person, infamous.

11/10/2025: Fast, delicious and with a nice service. Would recommend and will visit again :)

09/10/2025: In hindsight, We confirm the spirit of this restaurant 🍴, With rather bland cuisine, The service, a disaster, the owners and their entire team, without a single smile or attention. Without any identity.

15/09/2025: Awful service. Awful food. Staff more concerned with themselves than the service or food. Tried to charge us for water we didn’t even have. We tried to tell one server he had been our only good part of our evening and he sent another server over as he said we had complained about him and the other server came over on the defensive asking why we had complained. We had oysters to start but they were still attached to the shell. Our mains were ok but as soon as my husband finished his dish they took it away as I was still eating which made me rush as the staff all just wanted us to finish as they were sitting down to eat themselves. We kept to then try to get there attention to get more drinks or just the bill and it seemed such an inconvenience to them. They were not nice at all. Will not return

15/09/2025: Very friendly staff and servers! Peaceful setting Varied and popular pasta dishes

14/10/2025: BE AWARE!! TOURIST TRAP AND WILL OVERCHARGE YOU. BRING BUG SPRAY.

10/10/2025: Unfortunately, it didn't meet our expectations. €20 for 5 ravioli? Good, for goodness sake, but overpriced. The meat was good, but for €28 a plate, they could have served it a little better. And €12 for a glass of wine? Are you kidding me? The staff was very kind, the service excellent, I can only compliment them. Unfortunately, we were surrounded by three tables of Americans, who were very annoying, and there was no background music to create a nice atmosphere. €149 for 2 people for 2 starters, 2 main courses, 4 wines, and a water. A bit excessive, I'd say.

15/07/2025: After having a last minute emergency with a VRBO property, Hotel Villa Paradiso welcomed us with open arms. Francesco was quick to check us in and get us in to our rooms after traveling for multiple hours. Rooms were spacious and very clean. The hotel is in a great location and a close walk to everything you need. The private beach club access and shuttle service is a huge perk! Breakfast lounge is beautiful and the food is great. So glad we stumbled on this place - highly recommend!!

17/05/2025: This is a warmth and lovely hotel, truly one of the best hotels that I have stayed throughout 20 years of traveling the world. Staff service is excellent. Everybody here is friendly and helpful. Francesco and Stefania are lovely and the guy has genuinely helped us on our traveling matters 🙏🏼 Can’t say enough about this hotel, but I will definitely stay here on my next trip in Taormina 😊

22/09/2025: The food was delicious, the staff was very friendly, and the place was family-friendly. The views were beautiful.

20/09/2025: Beautiful beach, excellently managed, friendly and helpful. The restaurant is also good.

23/09/2025: Very welcoming pizzeria, friendly staff, super pizza, I've come back and it will be my favorite pizza destination, everything is excellent

10/08/2025: I was at a friend's house. We ordered pizzas for 9:30 PM, and the food was good. The only downside was that the pizzas were 30 minutes late.

20/09/2025: Stumbled across this restaurant whilst on the hunt for dinner. Glad I did! Very welcoming & friendly family run restaurant. Great food and calm atmosphere.

06/09/2025: Found this small beautiful family run restaurant hidden in the nook of the streets of Taormina, greeted with a warm atmosphere, and the service was divine and quick. The Cannelloni were light, and full pf flavor. Definitely worth a visit

23/09/2025: Amazing location for lunch when on the beach, best pizza around and the most friendly staff going, good value for money, highly recommended

22/09/2025: Great atmosphere and service (shuttle to and from our hotel)

03/10/2025: One espresso: 3 Euro + 1 Coperto 4 Euro = Sum of 7 Euros? Really?

19/09/2025: Tasty but overpriced food in an unfortunate setting. You're sitting on top of a main avenue and the noise/exhaust from constant traffic (mostly motorcycels, and buses) makes eating here a literal headache. Small portions and a 4 euro cover per person make this an terrible value despite the quality of the food.

11/10/2025: The view is amazing, but the quality comparing with the price is a disappointment. I don’t recomend at all, it looks a Italian restaurant out of Italy.

01/10/2025: GREAT PASTA I WAS COMPLETELY CRYING

16/10/2025: A pizzeria near the sea but the pizzas weren't exactly Italian.

14/10/2025: I actually just popped in here for a drink, and I also had a cannolo on the spot. It was freshly filled and tasted delicious. The staff was so nice! Thank you so much.

10/10/2025: As many others, I rarely write bad reviews and do it with genuine regret. Unfortunately, this time I have to. I made a dinner reservation for two through the restaurant’s website and also sent an email to kindly point out that their Instagram link leads to a completely unrelated profile. My email was appreciated, and my reservation was confirmed. Sergio was very professional and kind in his reply. All good so far. When we arrived at the restaurant at the reserved time, it turned out there was no reservation under my name. The restaurant was only about 20% full, so it wasn’t a problem and we were seated right away. We looked at the menu and were ready to order, but no one came. After sitting for 30 minutes, I asked one of the waitresses if someone could please take our order. She said that only the boss takes the orders. In the meantime, we were offered wine. Another 10–15 minutes passed before the “boss” finally came to our table and took our order. By that point, it had been about 45 minutes since we arrived. We also noticed that some tables who arrived later were served before us. Based on other reviews, I can agree that the restaurant seems to favor certain guests over others. We ordered a platter of fresh fish and two main dishes. The fish platter arrived without anything acidic to balance the flavors — no lemon, no vinegar, nothing. We asked one of the waiters (who seemed to also be one of the “bosses”) for some lemon or vinegar. He looked slightly annoyed and said someone would come. A few minutes later, another waiter came to ask if we wanted him to explain what was on the fish platter. We said no, we’d just like some lemon please. He still went on to explain each fish in detail, and only after that did we get our lemon slices, about 5 minutes later. The main dishes were fine, just simple and fresh, but nothing special. Perhaps the chef’s concept is to serve everything rich and fried without adding anything sour to balance it, but as a guest, I shouldn’t feel awkward asking for a bit of lemon. The number of times we had to wave or call for service was simply too much. We are not picky guests at all, but this was just a poor experience. Everything took far too long and we felt neglected. Not once did anyone come to check if everything was all right. We always had to ask for attention ourselves. And this was with the restaurant less than half full. The food was mediocre and the service, unfortunately, among the worst I have encountered. Perhaps it felt even more disappointing because I had been really looking forward to this dinner to celebrate my birthday and had such a pleasant communication with Sergio beforehand. Sorry, Sergio.

01/10/2025: Wonderful dining in a beautiful, spacious, quiet, uncrowded courtyard right in the midst of Taormina.

05/10/2025: A wonderful experience, we chose the Mare&Aria tasting menu. The exquisite dishes, the impeccable welcome and service made it a Saturday lunch to remember. We also recommend it for the splendid sea view.

06/09/2025: The best dinner experience we had in Taormina without a doubt. Everything about the night was just perfect
