11/11/2025: Highly recommended. The food was fantastic and the service incredible. The owner, Francesco, his wife, and Abir were all very kind and attentive, taking excellent care of us. They were always on top of things.

18/03/2026: Hospitality was amazing food even better! Bellissino🥰

18/03/2026: I'd even give it 6 stars... Very cozy atmosphere, excellent service, perfectly curated menu, superb food... highly recommended.

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.

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

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!

01/01/2026: A memorable December 31st: we ate outside even though it was raining, warmed by blankets, the fire, and above all by the attentive staff who pampered us until the very end. Jacqueline was an excellent hostess.

21/12/2025: What an experience ! Fantastic apetizer (sardinas fried to perfection with a simple home made mayonaise) and ensalata de bacalao with grapefruit and olives. My taste sense just exploded. Luckily there was a glass of the finest sauvignon to help getting back to earth 🙈😇. Delicious it was. Thank you very much.

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.

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!

07/01/2026: Excellent restaurant: delicious food and a spectacular location, with a breathtaking view of all of Taormina and Mount Etna right across the street. During the summer, a splendid upstairs terrace is also available. Highly recommended, especially for the kindness of the staff. We chose a raw fish appetizer to share, two first courses (a risotto and tagliolini), and, to finish, a dessert. Everything was delicious, and we had a truly wonderful time. Thank you, Alfio!

03/01/2026: Expectations are inevitably high in a restaurant of this caliber. And it must be said right away: they weren't disappointed, even if there was a slight sense of "it could have been better." The setting is refined, elegant but not stuffy, with a warm, well-lit dining room and a nighttime view that pleasantly complements the dinner. The service is one of the strong points: extremely kind, attentive, never intrusive, and capable of making you feel welcomed from start to finish. The fried seafood is well-executed, using quality ingredients, dry and light. However, for a €25 dish, the portion is objectively modest: two people can eat, yes, but with the feeling that something is missing. More than the quality, here it's the quantity that doesn't live up to the asking price. The risotto with shrimp tails and cheese is perfect, balanced, and well-creamed. Good, without a doubt. But at this level—and especially at €25—you expect that wow factor, that bite that lingers in your memory. In this case, it doesn't explode; it remains a good dish without becoming memorable. The real surprise was the soup: intense, deep, enveloping: truly, very good, one of those dishes that justify the cuisine and leave a lasting impression. Overall, a good experience, pleasant and refined, with room to become excellent. A restaurant that has everything to convince, but which could be more daring with some dishes to fully justify the bill.

22/02/2026: Terrible place, insignificant and indifferent people, manager unreachable as a switched off cell phone...not reliable in any way...not recommended, a B&B for 50 euros a day is much more welcoming.

22/12/2025: A stay at the Hotel Metropole in Taormina is far more than a simple hotel experience. Of course, the location is extraordinary, suspended between sky and sea, and nature seems to have played its part, offering breathtaking views. But what truly makes this hotel a dream destination are the people who work there. Here you'll find not only professionalism, but a true team, close-knit and authentic, capable of conveying warmth, attention, and passion in every gesture. A special thanks goes to Ambra, who at the front desk represents the beating heart of the welcome: always present, elegant in her manners, and impeccable in her management. In the restaurant, Antonio is synonymous with care, expertise, and a smile, capable of transforming every meal into a special moment. All the staff, without exception, play a crucial role in creating a unique atmosphere, made of details, kindness, and a sincere desire to make guests feel not only welcomed, but pampered. At the Hotel Metropole, luxury is not ostentation, but harmony, humanity, and genuine attention. A stay that will remain in your heart and that can be defined, without hesitation, very pleasant and truly a dream.

02/11/2025: Ristorante Le Orologio is an absolute gem! The food was exceptional, every dish was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The restaurant’s design is elegant yet cozy, blending modern style with classic Sicilian charm. The patio offers a truly unique panoramic view of the town and the sea, especially stunning at sunset. Dining here feels like an experience rather than just a meal, excellent service, relaxing atmosphere, and unforgettable scenery. Whether you’re visiting for a romantic dinner or a casual lunch, Le Orologio delivers perfection in taste, ambiance, and view. Definitely one of the must-visit spots in the area!

14/10/2025: My mother and I arrived here. We had planned to eat, but we decided to have a glass of wine. So we asked for the menu and ended up giving it back because we only wanted a glass of wine. A grumpy face immediately appeared. Well, we just accepted that until the bill finally arrived. €20 for two glasses of house wine. How badly can you get ripped off? I'd say if you only want a drink, go somewhere else quickly, because they'll rip you off right here.

05/11/2025: It was very delicious and the service was pretty kind. My friends and I enjoyed the food and also the fresh bread!

05/11/2025: The best pasta in my life! And what a view! 🤩

10/09/2025: What an incredible experience at Villa Ducale. EVERYTHING exceeded our expectations. From the moment we arrived, their team made us feel so comfortable. The front desk ladies gave us a glass of champagne, gave us directions and let us check in early. The hotel and rooms were beautiful and had the best views in all of Taormina. The restaurant, food and ambiance was divine! The staff knew it was my birthday, sang me happy birthday and gave me cannoli and tiramisu. Overall, the experience was incredible. Thank you so much to the staff for making the such an amazing stay!

09/09/2025: BEST HOTEL Experience & staff is amazing. My husband and I didn’t want to leave. Honestly it should be considered a 5 star hotel based on the rooms and quality of service you get. They have a shuttle to take you into town and are so accommodating.

25/02/2026: ⛔️AVOID THIS RESTAURANT I ordered the Crudo Royal (€30 - Scampi, Fish Carpaccio, Red Prawn, Tuna, Oyster) tonight. Please take a look at the picture to see what I actually received, aside from the quality. Waiting time: 45 minutes (in an empty restaurant!?) Plate check: loads of tiny scampi, tuna, red prawns (without tongs to crack them open), and some kind of white stuff. NO FISH CARPACCIO!!! NO OYSTER!!! On top of that, everything, EVERYTHING, was frozen, thawed (hence the long wait), and then marinated in oil. The poor, pale seafood was cold and slimy. He said it was oil... it was thawed stuff! Incredibly disgusting. I could only wash it down with white wine. I should have sent the plate straight back to the kitchen; this is completely unacceptable!!! Before paying, I wanted to know where the oyster was. I only just noticed the missing fish capaccio. The chef made excuses... nothing was delivered this evening, but he compensated. Compensated with what?! I ordered the most expensive appetizer, and he didn't want me to change my mind, so he decided to simply alter the dish for me. I wasn't asked beforehand, nor was I informed. That's incredibly disrespectful and dishonest. Communication is everything. Regarding the slimy leftovers, he claimed they were marinated. It's a disgrace that such a person is a chef in a restaurant; shame on you!!! I paid the €40 without further discussion, but he more than deserves this bad review. The waitress was only physically present. She never came by to ask if everything was alright, if I wanted another glass of wine. Nothing. A completely bizarre experience. If your health is important to you, please spend your money elsewhere!

25/02/2026: We stopped here on a whim and had a very good meal (mussels, spaghetti carbonara, penne alla Norma). The dishes were not only perfectly prepared but also beautifully presented. We didn't have to wait long. A true professional with a passion for their work is at work here. The server was probably still in training, but very attentive and friendly. However, the clientele was quite small, consisting of only two couples.

01/11/2025: A very nice, small restaurant with delicious food and good wine. We had a very pleasant evening here!

27/10/2025: So delicious that you'll want to spin around
