I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiananella città Taormina della Messina

05/05/2026: The lady taking orders made us feel very uncomfortable with her rude manner. The prices are strange, as a single course costs as much as a full menu. We ordered both the meat and fish menus, and the bruschetta were good. As for the first courses, the pasta alla norma had too much oil but was decent, while the seafood one was good. The second courses, on the other hand, were pitiful. And, to top it all off, a 75cl bottle of water costs €4. I wouldn't go back; there's much better.

05/05/2026: The pasta was amazing, we all had pasta and it was perfectly cooked (italian style), the eggplant parmigiano was amazing too, the bruschetta needs a bit off work especially the bread but it was off season and it is a small inconvenience for the entire experience and the taste of the rest of the food. All in all the lady owner was amazing, the food was great and we recommend this hidden gem!

11/06/2026: We arrived without a reservation, but we got one of the best tables on the terrace! The staff was extremely kind and attentive. The view of the sea and the city is stunning, and the spaghetti with pistachio pesto and the mushroom pizza were absolutely delicious. We had an unforgettable anniversary dinner here! I recommend it to everyone! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

07/06/2026: Truffle Pizza is the world champion!!! I recommend it!

10/04/2026: Expensive, not good, and not recommended!

02/01/2026: My experience was decidedly positive. A la carte New Year's Eve dinner. Unfortunately, it was a rainy evening, which prevented us from enjoying what we had planned. They were helpful and friendly, allowing us to toast the New Year with our own bottles! And not only that... they served lentils and cotechino without asking. A suggestion for all restaurants open on New Year's Eve with an à la carte menu: charge a €20 cover charge per person rather than rightfully inflating the menu. When you add value to good food and customer service, you make a difference. Thank you for everything.

16/06/2026: Great local place with easy atmosphere, small of history, friendly staff, tasty food and good prices. Love it !

04/06/2026: Recommended by my hotel and I went twice. Very nice panini, bruschettas, Campari spritz, chinotto 😁 2 different waiters afternoon and evening : both nice, smiling, very welcoming.

09/04/2026: Great restaurant. Affordable prices and absolutely lovely taste! We had Calamari alla Siciliana and pizza Gazela, both really scrumptious. Really close to the city centre so it's really worth the walk. The toilets are clean and smell nice.

09/04/2026: Pizza is great, sea food is great, deserts are great!

01/07/2026: We were offered complimentary prosecco and bruschetta when we arrived, which was a nice start. We placed our order and waited for the complimentary items... and waited. Eventually our meals arrived, but the promised prosecco and bruschetta never did. We assumed perhaps they'd bring them later, maybe after the meal. Nope. After finishing our food, we still hadn't seen anyone. We eventually managed to flag down a member of staff, who seemed reluctant to come over. When we politely asked about the complimentary prosecco we'd been offered, the response was dismissive enough that it felt like we were being told to stop bothering them. We paid, left disappointed, and never received what had been promised. The food itself was mediocre, so there wasn't much to redeem the experience. Offering complimentary items as a welcome gesture is a nice idea, but it's meaningless if they're never served, and even worse when asking about them is treated as an inconvenience. Unfortunately, this was a frustrating experience from start to finish, and we won't be returning.

20/06/2026: We ate well and liked the quiet. Portions large enough. The place deserves more attention

21/05/2026: Professional staff, excellent food

21/05/2026: spectacular view of Etna and the sea

10/05/2026: Sometimes social media is misleading... too bad. Unsatisfactory experience. I hope they improve.

25/04/2026: These days, it's become difficult to find such quality at an affordable price. Kudos to the owners.

01/05/2026: Good cannoli and prices are okay. The staff were incredibly patient and friendly with my daughter—they let her choose exactly the cannolo she felt like having. I don’t quite understand why this place has such low ratings on Google Maps. The dolci looks there incredible :) It was open till the late hour, despite the fact that the weather was bad and there weren't too many tourists outside.

10/04/2026: I went to this place for lunch, and I have to say I wasn't very satisfied the first time. But when I was passing by with friends, they wanted to stop even though I said I hadn't had a good time. We decided to stop anyway, and I have to say it was an excellent choice! We were greeted by a young woman with a mesmerizing smile. She was truly beautiful, very friendly, kind, and above all, very attentive. She was at our table if we needed anything. We even joked with her, and I have to say she was very nice, but above all, very elegant, even carrying the tray. It was truly amazing! We ordered Sicilian bruschetta, a mixed platter, and what can I say? It was spectacular. Our palates exploded with pleasure. In all of Taormina, I've never eaten such wonderful bruschetta. Not to mention the spectacular parmigiana. My compliments to the kitchen staff. And I commend the owners for having such a cheerful and kind waitress. We'll definitely be back! 😍 We'll recommend it to everyone.

20/05/2026: Had dinner tonight, bad experience! I don't recommend it! Not for dinner! I was really disappointed.

17/05/2026: A very nice restaurant in the middle of the pedestrian zone in Taormina, good pizza, smiling waiter, reasonable prices.

19/04/2026: Very expensive (€45), but good.

19/04/2026: A quick reflection: I've been frequenting Taormina since I was 14, when, penniless and a little envious, I would spy on the "grown-ups" sitting at the Mokambo café, which wasn't your average bar but a mandatory stop, not for everyone, to start the evening. Playboys and dandies would set the already sultry summer evenings ablaze with their presence, smiles laced with seduction on tanned faces and white suits with unbuttoned shirts. The evenings continued at the "Giara" of the great Cico Scimone and then the Manuli brothers. I watched them—Turi Pollicina, Mimmo Cassaniti, Vito Costa, Carlo Spina, to name a few—and I waited until I grew up to be able to match or surpass them. Love, betrayal, and unscrupulousness passed over those tables, and little by little I managed to secure a table that was always reserved in that whirlwind of emotions called Mokambo. Together with lifelong friends Giovanni Costa, Seby di Giovanni, Alfredo Minissale, Ugo Pollicina, and Guido Costa, we spent decades doing what was natural to us: experiencing the nightlife in all its strangest facets, to the fullest and without limits. Years later, now married and "with my head in the clear," as they say, I found myself in Taormina last Saturday evening with my wife, and after dinner at "cu ti lu dissi," an excellent restaurant in Porta Catania owned by friends Fabio and Francesco, we decided to have a drink at Mokambo. We walked along the Corso, with many shops closed due to the late hour (9:10 PM), and to our great surprise, we found Mokambo CLOSED. Asking around, we were told that closing time was 9:00 PM. 9:00 PM. 9:00 PM. How sad. One of the historic symbols of Taormina's nightlife closed at 9:00 PM. But does the new ownership (Dolce & Gabbana) know that nightlife in Taormina starts after 9 PM? Shame on them!!! The time for weirdness is certainly over for us, but I believe an era that saw us as the protagonists of the last episode is over!!!

16/06/2026: Right after champagne🥂 with apetizers at the Velvet rooftop we came down for an incredible culinary experience that is worth every star. Giving it ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Awsome in all 🫶

26/05/2026: A venue of the highest expectations. We were at this location for the first time for our wedding anniversary, and everything was perfect. The table with a stunning sea view was wonderful. The hospitality, service, and top-quality food were top-notch. Their humility and professionalism were truly a strong point. We had a wonderful time, and the entire staff was incredibly kind and welcoming. Finally, we met with the chef and kitchen staff to chat and compliment them on the excellent food. Well done. You really amazed us. I highly recommend it.
