I migliori ristoranti di cucina mediterraneanella città Taormina della Messina

05/10/2025: Great place. I discovered delicious Sicilian craft beers there, I recommend the Ephesto beer! Possibility of eating good tapas alongside or a Sicilian salad.

04/10/2025: They charge coperto without explicitly stating it on the menu. They're breaking the law to rip off tourists.

07/01/2026: The Spritz was good. The "trattoria-style" checkered paper placemats could be avoided. Nothing stood out as negative or particularly positive. Aperitif served with a small bowl of chips and olives, and a few peanuts. A Spritz cost €12, while a gin and tonic costs €16, etc. Maybe I'll give the pizza and the restaurant a second chance. The evening atmosphere was nice, with fairy lights.

06/01/2026: Reason immediately. Service so efficient that they kicked us out within 25 minutes, and in a rather rude manner. It was New Year's Eve, and we booked 10 days in advance. We were offered either the first sitting (8:30 PM) or the second sitting (10:30 PM), and we chose the first sitting. We arrived at 8:25 PM, sat down, and within a few minutes, they came by three times to order, even though we were still reading the menu. After ordering, the appetizer arrived within 5 minutes, and before we'd finished it, the pizzas arrived. My pizza plate was taken away when my girlfriend wasn't even halfway through, and as soon as she finished, we were asked if we wanted anything else. After we said "not at the moment," we received the bill and the waiter came to the table with the POS. It was 8:50 PM. I wondered, if the second shift was at 10/10:30 PM, what was the point of kicking me out after less than half an hour, on an evening when I wanted to eat but also relax? The answer was: the line of people without reservations outside, who couldn't be refused, and the god of money in charge.

23/09/2025: We were sitting on the beach in front of the restaurant. The smell of food made us hungry. I then found cozze (mussels) on the menu. The portion was a generous €15. I've never tasted better. Slightly spicy, with garlic, tomato, and white wine. Coperto was €1.50. The cozze is a dream. Good service with a sea view. Moretti draft beer is too expensive at €6 (0.4l).

22/09/2025: Lack of transparency... a well-kept beach in an excellent location... but what we consumers cannot and will not forgive is the lack of transparency and the unclear information regarding prices for admission, sunbeds, umbrellas, etc.

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

18/01/2026: We had a reservation for 12:00 on New Year’s Day, but were not seated until 12:47. During this time, staff repeatedly told us it would be “another 10 minutes,” which was said multiple times without any clear update or honesty about the delay. While waiting, we could overhear staff discussing that the owner had decided to open at 12 following New Year’s celebrations, and that several staff members did not want to be there. When we eventually entered the restaurant, tables were still being set up, and we were asked to wait in a seating area for a further extended period. Once seated, we were not provided with menus or offered drinks. After asking three separate times for menus—each time being told “five minutes”—a further 15 minutes passed with no service. At that point, we decided to leave. For an establishment that presents itself as high-end and holds a Michelin star, this level of organisation, service, and professionalism was extremely disappointing. Delays can happen, but poor communication, lack of basic service, and unprofessional behaviour are not acceptable at this standard. The experience did not meet expectations, and staff training and customer service clearly need improvement.

07/01/2026: Excellent restaurant with a beautiful view, we thank the very kind staff who found a panoramic table for my 86 year old mother, certain things alone are worth 5 stars ;)

18/01/2026: Very tasty food, fast service and a beautiful view!

04/01/2026: Incredible view and most important excellent food. The service was quick, kind and attentive. Would love to go back !

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.

25/11/2025: The food was miserable and expensive

20/11/2025: A place with typical Sicilian food, a very picturesque atmosphere, and a good location.

11/11/2025: The restaurant is run by an Italian and a Polish woman (both serving customers). The menu is in Polish. It's tucked away in a quiet area. It's quiet and peaceful. Plenty of tables. The food is delicious, just like in Italy. I highly recommend it.

10/11/2025: The ambiance is wonderful, located in a dreamy area, very close to the Greek Theatre of Taormina, and across from the small Church of San Domenico. The atmosphere is very welcoming; there are always musicians wandering around the restaurants, adding a vibrant touch to the dining experience. I enjoyed the food; I tried three dishes: eggplant parmigiana, pasta with shrimp, and grilled clams. My favorite was the grilled clams.

28/10/2025: It's a wonderful restaurant with excellent Italian cuisine, very friendly staff, good wine, and a lovely atmosphere. Nothing to say, just highly recommended. We always love coming back. The best place in all of Taormina.

26/10/2025: Food was OK not great, started with some stale bread, but had to ask for oil, tiramsu was dry. Overpriced for what we got, there a better restaurants about

06/01/2026: We visited this restaurant for lunch, but the experience was terrible. Due to the strong wind, the umbrellas kept rising, and one of them fell on someone at our table, creating a dangerous situation. Despite this, the owner didn't intervene, nor did he offer to move inside or offer an alternative, demonstrating total disregard for customer safety. Due to the wind, we were forced to leave all our dishes half-finished, but we were still asked to pay the full bill, without any attention or courtesy. We understand that the dishes had been prepared, but given the situation, we would have expected at least a modicum of understanding. We left feeling very disappointed and bitter about the poor service and lack of professionalism.

31/12/2025: I was just robbed of €9 for a 33cl Messina beer, and when we complained, they were disrespectful and even shouted at us. Thieves.

19/11/2025: The coffee and arancini were very delicious, and the staff member was a very nice Hungarian-speaking lady! 🫶🏻

07/11/2025: We ordered 3 portions of fish and chips and squid to take away. The food was prepared very slowly. (approx. 20-30 minutes) When paying, it turned out that we could not pay by card, only cash. The paper cone we received contained very little squid, but at least it was expensive. We will not go here again, I do not recommend it.

07/01/2026: The food was reallt good (best minestrone I have ever had) and the waitstaff was very kind and helpful.

31/12/2025: Tourist trap obviously. Food had to be reheated twice as was served cold. Bread stale. Salad brown and sad. Please avoid if possible.

18/11/2025: the most expensive coffee i’ve ever had in Italy, for 2 espresso with milk we paid 10 euros! Ridiculous. it wasn’t even beautiful, place is very rusty and we didn’t feel welcome.

16/09/2025: Really good bakery and coffe shop, just near the Theather. Nice atmosphere and service, real Italian family bussines.
