08/04/2026: Couldn’t have asked for a better dinner- amazing and friendly staff, beautiful atmosphere and incredibly well thought out food

07/04/2026: It was an amazing experience with such attentive staff. The quality of the food and service was excellent. They put lots of love into the cooking and also the presentation. Strongly recommend a visit to this restaurant.

09/02/2026: Beautiful food and very kind and attentive service. Highly recommend!

27/01/2026: Totò passami l’olio – A memorable experience 🇮🇹🍷 Excellent food, lovingly prepared and absolutely delicious. The wine recommendation was particularly lovely; the red wine served with the meal was a perfect match and rounded off the evening beautifully. The atmosphere is relaxed and cozy; you immediately feel welcome. The service was attentive and warm, especially the wine recommendation – a big thank you for that! A place you'll gladly recommend and visit again yourself.

07/04/2026: An excellent family-run seafood restaurant with a sea view. If you choose the set menu, you won't be able to eat everything because the portions are so generous. I recommend booking in advance and requesting a table on the sea-view balcony. Dining with that breathtaking view will be an experience you'll remember forever!

30/03/2026: Exceptionally good. Fresh, delicious, reasonably priced, great service. Good house wine.

22/02/2026: We got married in Lipari on October 4th. It was an intimate civil ceremony, with 25 guests in total. Following an excellent lunch and some excellent reviews, we chose Sangre Rojo restaurant for our celebration. Nunzia guided us through the lunch menu and table settings, respecting our desire for simplicity and suggesting what she felt would be appropriate, but also gently and firmly advising us against what she deemed unsuitable. The lunch went very well, and we won't waste time raving about the raw antipasti, the octopus and bean soup, the busiate pasta with anchovies and fennel, and the citrus-stuffed calamari, because they simply have to be tried (no more fuss). A special mention, however, goes to the panna cotta with freshly picked figs, which overcame the feeling of satiety in all (all!) of our guests. The view, with the Lipari coast stretching into the blue sea, did the rest. A huge thank you to Nunzia, her family, and all the staff for their kindness and professionalism! Highly recommended! Giulia and Gabriele p.S. If we have a second wedding, we'll definitely be back! :D

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.

12/01/2026: Fantastic experience, authentic place with exquisite cuisine and impeccable service!

05/01/2026: Perfect atmosphere, unique service and wonderful food

17/04/2026: Lovely atmosphere, good food, friendly and attentive staff!

17/04/2026: Perfect. The service was perfect and the pizza was yummy!! They also had blankets for when it’s chilly 🥹

27/03/2026: We'd heard good things about this place, famous for its "Stocco alla Messinese," so we went today, intrigued. What can I say...it was an explosion of flavors for our taste buds, of all the dishes! In a warm and familiar atmosphere, as if we were right at home! I'll definitely be back, bringing friends and company! Thanks

23/03/2026: Simple, healthy food with high quality. I always feel comfortable and the prices are fair. I recommend it.

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: Great place, great food, and great music. Pianist Pino Portelli was truly talented. We'll be back.

04/04/2026: Such a beautiful restaurant with THE BEST fillet steak ever!!

02/04/2026: We had such a beautiful lunchtime experience at Ristorante Badia. The restaurant itself is incredibly aesthetically pleasing, colourful, vibrant, and full of authentic Sicilian charm. We ordered the Risotto alla Marinara and every bite was absolutely delicious. The seafood was fresh, and the sauce on the risotto was good. We also tried the Tagliatelle rosso di Mazara e tartufo. Although it had to be substituted with local smaller prawns instead of the red shrimp, the price was adjusted accordingly, which we really appreciated. The dish was still delicious, full of flavour, with fresh, fragrant truffle that elevated it beautifully. After our meal, we were offered a delicious almond aperitif, which was the perfect touch to end a lovely lunch. The servers were warm, welcoming, and made us feel so at ease throughout. We would certainly recommend visiting!

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).

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

05/04/2026: Amazing food, great service Italian atmosphere. Must visit !!

04/04/2026: After tasting the food at this restaurant, I ate here for every single meal during my stay in Taormina. In particular, the seafood linguine pasta and seafood risotto suit Korean palates perfectly, so I highly, highly recommend trying them! The portions are generous, filling the large bowls to the brim, and the taste of the large, plump shrimp served on top is something I still cannot forget. While dining, I noticed there was sometimes a wait outside, but if you make a reservation in advance via WhatsApp, you will receive a quick and friendly response.

01/12/2025: Average, I tried the paccheri with swordfish and the mussel soup, good value for money, generous portions

26/11/2025: Best restaurant in Taormina, a real treat even for me, who doesn't eat dairy.

21/03/2026: Very top quality seafood and pasta highly recommended with fair price

20/03/2026: Highly recommended for a light lunch.

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!
