27/06/2025: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Ristorante Da Giovanni is a true gem! From the moment we stepped inside, we were greeted with authentic Italian hospitality and a cozy, inviting atmosphere. The food was nothing short of spectacular—each dish prepared with fresh ingredients and presented with care. The linguine vongole was delicate and full of flavor, the rich bolognese was comfort in a bowl, and the lobster—tender and perfectly seasoned—was a showstopper. Pair all of that with a breathtaking view that sweeps across the coastline, and you’ve got a dining experience that’s both elegant and soul-warming. The staff made the evening even more special with their friendly service and thoughtful recommendations. You can feel the love and tradition behind every plate. Whether you're celebrating a special occasion or just craving a slice of Italy, this place delivers with charm and flavor. Grazie mille, Da Giovanni—we’ll definitely be back!

03/07/2025: If you want to spend money in a restaurant where the owner treats you like crap..., this is the place to go.

28/06/2025: Very mediocre food Bad service Overpriced and not worth it.

11/06/2025: I had been trying to go for a long time but I never found a place. The restaurant is very beautiful, with attention to detail, the staff was helpful and very kind, the food was super abundant and the price was adequate for the quantity served. I will return to try the pizza

10/06/2025: Kind, fast and professional, excellent price, quantity more than excellent

17/06/2025: A small, family-run restaurant with very friendly staff. The selection was extensive and varied. The food was delicious and the portions were generous. I would definitely go back.

19/05/2025: Top quality, top service, top taste. Me and my girlfriend were for around 5 days in Napoli and we tried a lot of restaurants but da Marino was by far one of the best ones. The waiter was helpful, kind and polite. The food was delicious. I would recommend and ofc would come back here.

21/06/2025: I ordered a prawn pasta, unfortunately the shrimp was very mushy (clearly been frozen for a while and not fresh). The pasta got nice sauce, but what a let down by the quality of prawns.. To be honest, they did put on the menu that prawns may be frozen, but I have asked the waiter to check if prawns are fresh and he said he would check but no response after that until the pasta was served. My husband had a seafood pasta, which turned out to be good, it had mussels, clams, a langoustine, all seemed to be fresh. Lastly, waited for a check for half an hour even though there were only 2 other tables.

21/06/2025: The mussels were amazing and the waiters were very attentive and helpful.

02/07/2025: I liked the food, fresh and tasty. But I would like a fresher atmosphere, change the furniture and paint the walls :)

22/06/2025: Excellent food quality The tireless Mr. Carletto top A bit of a wait but it's okay in the summer

02/07/2025: Great location. Great food. Knowledgeable staff, constantly present. The owner, Mrs. Clelia, is very kind. I recommend it.

30/06/2025: It didn't convince me. Ranging from the palate to the quantity, quality, location, I didn't appreciate any particular strong points that would have made the difference. Acceptable.

09/07/2025: An exceptional restaurant! Every dish was delicious and perfectly executed. The attentive and warm service really made the difference. I recommend this restaurant without hesitation.

29/06/2025: Delicious Sicilian food; fresh, locally-sourced ingredients; wonderful staff. One of the most memorable meals I’ve had during my travels.

03/07/2025: I think that in the last 4 or 5 years I have never eaten such good fish. Simple manufacturing in the name of flavor. In every dish you can find Sicilian tradition. The dish that I point out among others are the tagliatelle with tenerumi swordfish eggs and shrimp, but I do not want to forget the swordfish rolls with a superlative caponata.

15/06/2025: Excellent trattoria located right in the center of Santo Stefano di Camastra, we ordered a very tasty and flavorful grilled fish, you can feel that it is fresh, excellent service, I had a good time as well as the environment, I recommend you go there.

14/06/2025: Very varied menu with pizzas of all kinds with plenty of choice, fixed menus meat or fish, stockfish menu... everything and more at competitive prices. We discovered it thanks to the Baci Perugina voucher, so we had a discount on a pizza. We were more than satisfied.. excellent pizzas and "Roman style" (low) like we hadn't seen in a long time and now so sought after. 😅 Good fried food and finally we found the Coca Cola ZERO in a glass for the time. Despite the voucher we were pleasantly surprised by the bill, given the recent price increases on pizzas, especially in the places on the coast that we usually frequent. Beautiful and well-kept location. Very kind and helpful staff. Highly recommended.

26/05/2025: I have been there several times, once we ate stockfish and other times pizza. In both cases everything was delicious. Yesterday, however, we waited a long time for them to bring us pizzas and also sorbet and coffee, not enough staff for the people present in the room.

17/05/2025: "An unforgettable lunch at this restaurant! The breathtaking view is paired with exceptional cuisine. The appetizers were a real treat, the first courses were creative and flavorful, while the second courses were simply excellent. The staff were wonderful and courteous, making the experience even more enjoyable. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a special lunch!"

14/05/2025: For those who want to enjoy a special pizza

04/07/2025: Excellent service... exquisite food in a hidden spot... worth a visit!!! 👍🏼 The best in town if you want to avoid the typical tourist restaurants!! Thanks for the unbeatable service, Francesco!!

02/07/2025: Le Naumachie is one of the best places to eat in Taormina. Situated next to the remains of one of the most historic corners of Taormina (the Naumachia building), it is atmospheric and majestic. The restaurant’s chef offers his guests tasteful and stunning dishes, beautifully presented, equivalent to those of a Michelin * restaurant. In between each course, you are offered a (complimentary) amuse bouche, each one of them being a true state of the art! They have an excellent wine list, for every purse, starting from a fairly low price/bottle and raising up to thousands of euros/bottle, should you feel spendy 😊 (this is not to be considered as a drawback, though, since one can pick one of the value-for-money wines they offer at lower prices)! The restaurant has surely invested well and wise on their service, which was excellent -relaxed and friendly, as another client suggested- and always ready to discuss their menu options and offer analytical details about everything (including the site’s history 😊). The signora at the entrance (I believe the owner’s mother) invites you at the restaurant as if you were back home! We will surely enjoy another dinner at this fantastic restaurant, when we return to Taormina, and enjoy an even better bottle of wine (or even two), something that we weren’t able to do this time, since we had an almost 2-hour drive back to Siracusa and drinking and driving is not advisable! The price range below included a value-for-money bottle of wine, two starters and two main courses.

01/07/2025: Delicious food, nice service, local atmosphere, very affordable prices and we got a plate of bruschetta from the owner. I recommend

27/06/2025: Great food in a great place. They made us feel very welcome. I highly recommend it.
