Ristorante La Zagara
Taormina
31/12/2025: is terrible, the food have no taste or taste bad. is expensive and 4€ only for the fork and the knife.
30/12/2025: Food was average, we got a fish from the specials which was a bit rubbery and the potatoes for garnish were just raw. Sea food pasta with clams and zucchini and mint was kind of ok.

PanzaKina
Milazzo
08/03/2026: Nice place, but the quality/price ratio was absolutely absurd for what we ate.
The €3 cover charge and €3 per bottle of purified tap water were already a bit of a turnoff, but it's okay.
The prices are clearly written on the menu, and as soon as we saw them, we wondered for a moment whether we were in Milazzo, in front of the ferry docks, or in Portofino.
Prices were definitely above average. But that's okay, if the product, quality, and quantity are satisfactory, no problem; we decided to give it a try.
We ordered four calamaratas (€22 per dish), a spaghetti dish with clams (€25), and a pasta dish with tomato sauce and burrata (€18), two bottles of water (€6), a bottle of wine (€25), a cover charge of €3 per person, and we had to ask for the bread ourselves.
Calamarata: a giant dish, but only 80 grams of pasta inside. Each dish literally had 3-4 shelled mussels, 3-4 shelled clams, and 2 pieces of squid.
Furthermore, the mussels and clams were definitely not freshly cooked because they had the consistency of pre-cooked food.
Taste? Absolutely average.
22 euros for a dish like that is absolutely outrageous, really!
10-15 euros is more than fair for the quality and quantity.
Spaghetti with clams: arrived later than the other dishes. And if you want to position yourself in a high price range, you can't make an 8-year-old wait while watching others eat. But that's okay, that's not the problem; they apologized, and that happens.
The dish: for the first time in my life, I saw spaghetti with clams without shells, but only with shelled clams. So the question is: were they fresh and did the chef bother to shell them one by one, or was it something from a can/frozen?
Because if we order 7 spaghetti with clams, I'd like to see where he finds the time to shell them one by one while other orders arrive from other tables.
The question remains, of course, but 25 euros is way too much for a dish like that.
Maniche with tomato sauce and burrata... 18 euros.
The kid liked them, but it was 7 sleeves of pasta 🤦♂️
We all had bread with the pasta to fill up a bit.
Final result for 5 adults and 2 children:
7 first courses, 2 bottles of water, a bottle of wine for 25 euros: 200 euros to leave the table hungry.
Given the quality of the first courses, we decided not to continue at this restaurant, but to finish lunch with granita and brioche at the restaurant next door.
Around €30 per person. For the same quality...I repeat...for the same quality of food we were served, in almost all of Sicily, for this price, you'd eat at least double.
Because if the quality had been worth it, we definitely would have ordered a second course, despite the above-average prices.
In conclusion, I don't feel comfortable recommending this place for its quality/quantity/price ratio.
26/11/2025: Excellent restaurant, excellent seafood, and very friendly staff. My wife and I arrived without a reservation, but luckily there was room. We ate deliciously overlooking the harbor.
Recommended.

Lido La Pigna
Taormina
30/11/2025: It's been a few years, but I still remember it being a beautiful location and that the calzone was excellent. I hope to come back again soon!
10/11/2025: We had a delicious pizza for lunch on the beach!
With a bottle of wine.
Everything they give you on the beach is plastic. The restaurant has a wider menu and better service. But I still recommend it.
The guys are amazing! They never stop, serving everyone with the best attitude.
We had a wonderful time!

Taverna al Paladino
Taormina
04/01/2026: Terrible experience. Bad food, difficult to identify the recipe and ingredients, and very expensive.
The only place we've eaten badly after a week in Naples and another in Sicily.
The waiters were friendly, but the food was very bad, and the price was exorbitant.
They brought us what was supposed to be pasta "a lla norma," but it was clearly "alli pesto," and from a jar.
I don't recommend it.
20/12/2025: Don’t bother with bad reviews from Americans or Germans who don’t know nothing about food. Food is great here

Shelter Ristorante and Pizzeria
Taormina
09/11/2025: We’ve been all around Italy and have never had a bad meal until tonight. Terrible pizza, tasteless crust and toppings. Had the Seabass supposedly encrusted with almonds….. horrible as well. I saw someone at another table barely eat their pizza as well. Don’t go here.
07/11/2025: We had our first lunch of our 2 week Italy trip here. We loved the Margherita and pesto pizzas. My husband also got the gnocchi, which he loved. Cute outdoor spot for lunch, would recommend.

Villa Souvenir
Forza d'agrò
14/03/2026: The food was good 25 years ago, now it's gone way down.. just a great view. Too bad.
04/03/2026: My family and I had a terrible meal. The service was incredibly slow. We arrived at 1:30 PM and had lunch until almost 4 PM. Not only were we unable to enjoy the food, I didn't even find it to be of any quality.

La Capinera
Taormina
16/03/2026: The restaurant is excellent, the chef's dishes are excellent, and the service is very good. A word of caution: the restrooms require you to go down some unprotected stairs downstairs. Furthermore, the bathrooms aren't up to par with the restaurant.
08/03/2026: We had a tasting dinner and chose the fish option (Menu Mare & Aria).
The price was €130 per person, and we were served 6 courses.
I’m not really a “fish person”, but the flavors truly surprised and delighted me. At the same time, some of the combinations were quite… interesting 😄
The service was 12 out of 10. I have honestly never experienced service like this before, so it really impressed me.
Overall, I would rate the experience 8.5 out of 10.
It’s definitely worth trying and enjoying this kind of carefully created luxury 💚
Thank you!

Ristorante Le Terrazze di Eolo
Lipari
21/10/2025: For me, the island of Stromboli is incredibly interesting. Swimming on the pleasant black sand in the warm sea (early October) with the volcano in the background made a strong impression on me. The town of Stromboli is unique, with narrow, walled streets, along which Piaggio tricycles travel at high speeds – both for goods and passengers.
The lack of cars is a charm. From the volcano's viewpoint (290 meters above sea level), you can also catch a beautiful sunset.
30/09/2025: Absolutely enchanting and romantic location.
The food was okay, but the location is included in the price, so expect to pay a lot more than in Sicily.

Re Di Bastoni
Taormina
07/04/2026: The food is terrible. When we ordered sandwiches, we only received bread.
07/04/2026: Don't order sandwiches. The amount of ingredients in them is very small. I don't know how they are not embarrassed to serve such food.

Doppio Gusto
Milazzo
07/03/2026: A truly interesting lunch, where the quality of the ingredients and attention to presentation blended perfectly.
For my appetizer, I tried the tuna tartare, very fresh and well-balanced.
The creaminess of the avocado and the accompanying sauces provided a perfect contrast without overpowering the flavor of the fish. It was an elegant and beautifully presented dish.
Next, a truly excellent fried seafood platter: calamari, shrimp, and other seafood specialties were light and crisp, not at all greasy.
The accompanying mayonnaise with wasabi rounded out the dish, making it even more flavorful and appealing.
Finally, the first course of lobster and fresh pasta: a generous portion, flavorful and perfectly cooked lobster, with a rich sauce that enveloped the pasta.
The presentation of the dishes and the atmosphere of the restaurant, elegant yet welcoming, were also excellent.
22/02/2026: Very nice place with attention to detail. Very friendly staff. We tried both raw and cooked fish, and the quality of the food was very high. There's also a wide selection of bottled wines. The price is reasonable for the quality. Recommended.
