23/12/2025: A first for me, I found care, refinement, and attention to the quality of the food and excellent presentation. Each dish is a delicacy prepared by Totò the restaurateur, who pairs his dishes with bread and breadsticks, all prepared in his kitchen with fine Sicilian olive oils. Congratulations!!!

07/02/2026: Stopped here during a godfather tour. The restaurant was recommended by our tour guide and it didn't disappoint. They have a balcony which looks from Forza d agro across the Messina Straight to Reggio.

12/01/2026: A gem find and the reviews back it up. It was almost closing time but they checked and seated us…no pasta but rice is fine. Amazing seafood, ambience and service!

08/11/2025: A splendid seaside setting where the captivating notes of Maestro Pino Portelli harmoniously accompany the most diverse and imaginative dishes, expertly prepared by skilled hands and served by a helpful and attentive staff. Highly recommended for a lovely evening!

27/10/2025: I went to this place because some friends recommended it. Besides the excellent food, the evening was enlivened by the pleasant music of Pino Portelli. I recommend it!

30/01/2026: I've been to dinner several times, accompanying guests from the boat I worked on... the restaurant is worth it in every way... the view, the welcome, the professional, attentive, and friendly service... the carefully prepared dishes of an innovative cuisine that still maintains Aeolian and Sicilian traditions... the well-stocked wine cellar. You can also start the evening by booking an aperitif while admiring a spectacular sunset. The guests were enthusiastic and satisfied. We warmly thank all the staff who made our evenings relaxing and, above all, cheerful, always capable of providing a smile. PS: Book in advance... it's a very popular place.

22/09/2025: Very friendly staff, location: a terrace overlooking the sea. Fresh air, unique dishes, well-prepared.

09/01/2026: A pizza and a beer that were very good.

08/01/2026: I visited on the host's recommendation. Personally, I found it so-so, but those who appreciate the flavor of the ingredients found it quite tasty. The truffle in the pasta, as seen in the photo, was visually and tastefully appealing.

01/03/2026: The best restaurant un Taormina! Great food, nice people, unique atmosphere. Absolute must visit!

28/02/2026: A truly excellent restaurant, the kind of place you'll always want to return to. The menu offers a comprehensive selection of fish, meat, and pizza, all carefully crafted and flavorful. The swordfish rolls are simply superb, one of those dishes that alone is worth the visit. The wine selection is extensive and of excellent quality, perfect to accompany every course. The staff is polite, attentive, and respectful: you feel welcomed like family, with that genuine courtesy that truly makes the difference. The location is another great asset. Situated in the charming Piazzetta Badia, the restaurant is intimate and comfortable in the winter, while in the summer it's right in the heart of the nightlife, offering a lively and pleasant atmosphere. A complete experience in every way: highly recommended.

15/02/2026: A top-quality pizzeria restaurant with impeccable service. You can practically order a wide variety of dishes, but the meat is the highlight. Try the cacio e pepe pasta and some of their other reinterpretations of first courses.

30/01/2026: An excellent place to satisfy your meat cravings. From tartare to carpaccio, to a wide selection of cuts and geographical varieties (from local beef to Argentinean and Wagyu).

16/11/2025: Delicious food and great service. This quaint restaurant with terrace overlooking Taormina’s public gardens and located off the beaten track and away from the tourist traps. Highly recommend it to anyone who is not looking for the usual dishes found in most the restaurants. Well presented and fresh local food. 10 out of 10. Well done!

03/11/2025: A delicious dinner. Eva was such a gracious host and server, and each dish was prepared with affection and care — the octopus was perfectly cooked and I delighted in my spaghetti with gamberi. Thank you and your colleagues for the incredible hospitality and kindness!

01/11/2025: The food was excellent and the staff were friendly. It was the best restaurant I've tried recently.

01/11/2025: We've eaten there four times... and we could eat there every day. We felt very comfortable there. We were always warmly welcomed. The food was the best we've ever had. The team there is like a family. Thank you for the culinary journey at your restaurant.

08/09/2025: I ate excellent raw ham, although the portion was certainly not large. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable. The only flaw is that the restaurant isn't air-conditioned.

06/09/2025: Great relaxing day at the Ipanema Guess, attentive staff, a charming place, I recommend it without hesitation

05/01/2026: It's been years since I've had lunch at a trattoria. The food and staff are exquisite, especially for those who aren't privy to luxury and are looking for local, authentic, home-cooked food. The dining room is a bit cramped, but that's what trattorias are all about. I promised myself I'd return!

07/12/2025: I visited Tratoria Rapisardi yesterday. It has a wonderful family atmosphere. The young owner is a fantastic guy.

27/11/2025: I cant leave review on their food as the restaurant was closed, the resturant hasn't bothered to update their Google operating hours.. we have travelled from Taormina thinking to check the beautiful view enjoy good after, but we were left disappointed. We understand that it is off season times ( end of Nov 2025) but at least they should have made an update as there are still people travelling.

25/11/2025: A must! stunning location, homemade authentic Italian 🇮🇹 food - don’t hesitate! best food on that rock 💫

06/01/2026: Our favourite restaurant in Taormina! We came here on our first evening of our honeymoon and enjoyed it so much we came back on our last. The restaurant interior is lovely, but we enjoyed sitting in the courtyard on both occasions. Food was absolutely delicious and cooked to perfection. All the staff were very helpful and friendly, explaining dishes and helping us to find the right wine pairings. The manager in particular was super friendly. All round incredible place and a must visit.

04/01/2026: Very, very good food! Pleasant atmosphere and extremely friendly staff! I recommend!
