I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiananella città Taormina della Messina

11/05/2026: Pleasant, relaxed atmosphere, excellent food, fine wine, beautiful view, nice and friendly staff. I recommend.

09/05/2026: The restaurant is located in a small alley perpendicular to the main shopping street. Once seated, the view is magnificent. The welcome and service are impeccable, and the pizzas were delicious. The prices are in line with Taormina standards.

04/08/2026: Had a delicious meal with a stunning view. Also very good, friendly service.

23/07/2026: Everything about our experience at Armonia was perfect. From the moment we arrived, the service was impeccable, the food was absolutely amazing, and the atmosphere couldn't have been better. The restaurant has beautiful views and a wonderful ambiance that made the entire evening feel special. A special thank you to our waiter, Luca, who truly made the experience unforgettable. He was attentive, knowledgeable about the menu, and gave excellent recommendations. Beyond that, he was genuinely funny, warm, and a pleasure to chat with throughout the evening, making us feel incredibly welcome. If you're visiting Taormina, Armonia is a must. Outstanding food, exceptional service, and a beautiful setting. We can't wait to come back!

13/07/2026: We were refused a table by the railing on the terrace with the explanation that it was "for more people" (there were three of us, the table had four seats). Seats were then gradually assigned. And strangely, only two people were ever seated at each table. Otherwise, it's extremely overpriced (just sitting there costs €5), but the view is still nice.

11/07/2026: The terror of celiacs. I've never seen such ignorance and poor service towards celiacs. There's almost nothing to eat, and they don't guarantee the absence of contamination. The staff clearly demonstrates a complete lack of training. I think this is unacceptable in 2026 for a restaurant of this caliber.

09/08/2026: A wonderful bar... A fantastic range of local, regional and draft beers, with staff that are knowledgeable and passionate about celebrating Sicilian produce. We called in most days for beer and food, enjoying the calm atmosphere, with gentle jazz playing in the background; each time welcomed. We will miss the bar!

08/08/2026: Excellent, long-standing pub on the main strip in Taormina that is still run and staffed by the original family (shout out to Mikael - a Taormina legend). A great selection of wine and grappa, with solid light food options and fantastic service. Definitely stop in for an aperitivo when in Taormina!

11/07/2026: We really enjoyed our evening at La Capinera! We had the tasting menu with 8 courses and chose a wine package with 4 glasses. The food was over all very good, and the service was even better! We felt very well taken care of during the entirety of our dining experience. We found it a little uncomfortable that there were no door locks in the bathroom.

10/07/2026: My family and I went for dinner at an interesting restaurant. Good service, great view of the bay. We ordered the tasting menu: two meat and two seafood dishes. Overall, it was tasty, but nothing special. I don't know how they got a Michelin star. We also ordered the wine pairing menu, which was a complete disappointment. Either the restaurant skimped on the wine, or the sommelier was lousy. Another downside is the proximity to the train line (literally right next to it) and the corresponding noise from passing trains, although fortunately there were only three during dinner. For dinner for four and three wine pairings, we paid almost 800 euros. Definitely not worth the money.

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

21/05/2026: Professional staff, excellent food

25/07/2026: Got there about 7:30 before the rush. Delicious grilled prawns and clam linguine with a fabulous wine recommendation

14/07/2026: The dishes were great, the service was mediocre (besides being very slow, the waiter forced us to order two appetizers in addition to the main courses, claiming it was house policy… we didn't understand, but okay). Perhaps he didn't understand that in addition to an appetizer to share, we would order two more main courses.

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.

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!!!

01/08/2026: Gluten free pizzas and pasta available - to start I had a gluten free focaccia loaded with fresh tomatoes; for main I had a gluten free spaghetti carbonara - the food was delicious! 4 stars given as we had to wait a little while for a table and when we did get one it was very cramped - in fairness we were a group of 6 and we didn’t pre book so in future we would book ahead. Lots of veggie options too and everyone in our group really enjoyed the food. I recommend the Etna Rosso red wine - very smooth and drinkable! We had complementary prosecco on arrival and I was given a separately packaged GF roll whilst the remainder of my group had fresh bread. Service was great and we would definitely recommend this place for coeliacs and those who are also dairy free and veggie / vegan!

01/08/2026: The food was delicious and the staff was polite, kind and also very friendly. I had a really nice lunch.
