I migliori ristoranti di cucina mediterraneanella città Taormina della Messina

14/11/2025: The worst pasta I've ever eaten in Italy – overcooked, with tomato sauce that tasted like it came from a jar and only one slice of eggplant 🙈 The only plus was the truly beautiful views, but unfortunately they didn't make up for the quality of the food.

12/11/2025: If you want to wait 1.5 hours for a mediocre pizza, this is your place!

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.

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.

12/11/2025: We visited a local restaurant in Taormina for lunch, perched on the hillside with beautiful sea views. Unfortunately, the terrace was closed due to a storm that day, but the atmosphere was still relaxed and inviting. The service was attentive, the staff were friendly, and the food was excellent. We kept it simple with just one course and a drink, but the overall experience was definitely enjoyable.

28/10/2025: We found ourselves at this restaurant for lunch during our trip to Sicily. The view was breathtaking and the staff were incredibly friendly. We ate deliciously and enjoyed the view of Isola Bella. I'm giving it five stars because we really enjoyed our stay. We were greeted with great hospitality and kindness, and the food was excellent.

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

16/11/2025: Excellent lunch, very friendly service, pizza was delicious

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.

19/11/2025: A restaurant I highly recommend, with a magnificent sea view. The service was impeccable.

13/11/2025: Granduca in Taormina is one of those restaurants that instantly makes you feel like you’re in the heart of authentic Italian and Sicilian culture. From the moment we walked in, the warm and inviting atmosphere stood out. The décor, the lighting, and the overall vibe create a very cozy environment that feels both welcoming and lively. If you’re lucky enough to get a seat on the balcony, the view is truly beautiful and adds an extra layer of charm to the whole dining experience. One of the things we loved most about Granduca is the strong Italian character of the place, especially with the traditional Italian pizza oven on display. It gives the restaurant a genuine, local touch and brings an element of tradition that you don’t find everywhere. It also sets the tone for the food quality, which did not disappoint. The menu offers a very good variety of classic Italian and Sicilian dishes, along with an excellent selection of drinks. We tried a couple of different pastas and pizzas, and everything we ordered was delicious. The flavours were well balanced, the ingredients tasted fresh, and the portions were satisfying without being overwhelming. It’s the kind of food that truly reflects the region’s culinary pride. Customer service was fair and generally pleasant, though there is room for improvement. Staff were polite and helpful, but service could be a bit more attentive considering how busy the restaurant gets. Overall, Granduca is a great choice in Taormina if you’re looking for excellent food, a warm atmosphere, and a wonderful Italian dining experience. We enjoyed our visit and would definitely return.

22/04/2025: Die Küche hat ihre Highlights (Lamm) und ihre Lowlights (kalter Fisch serviert). Das Service ist bemüht, kommt aber nicht wirklich über einen mittleren Standard hinaus. Was uns nicht gefallen hat war die Atmosphäre. Man sitzt in einem in die Jahre gekommenen Wintergarten und das Lokal wirkt kalt. Hier scheinen auch nur Touristen zu speisen und keine Einheimischen, was wir in Italien nie als gutes Zeichen erlebt haben.

14/04/2025: Cenamos aquí por mi cumpleaños y tuvimos una noche muy encantadora. Las mesas de la pequeña terraza de la azotea están en un lugar muy romántico, con la cumbre del Monte Etna justo visible sobre los antiguos tejados. Fuimos muy bien atendidos por el personal y las opciones de comida y vino fueron algunos de los mejores que probamos en Taormina.

21/10/2025: !! AVOID THIS PLACE !! Entire place runs cluelessly. (Should look and believe other reviews) Arrive 10 minutes prior to the reservation. Got told to wait 5 minutes, but end up waiting more than 30. People arrived later got seated before us. Many tables’ food was missing or wrong.

20/10/2025: It was a meal we had been looking forward to, and it looked really delicious. The initial reception was also normal. We made an online reservation for 8:00 and arrived at 7:50. The waiter gave us each a glass of sparkling wine and asked us to wait for 5 minutes, but 30 minutes later we were still not seated. During this time, more people lined up, but no one showed us to the empty tables. It also looked like the diners were having trouble getting their meals. Someone who looked like the boss came out and pushed the diners who lined up later into the empty seats. Neither we nor the other diners who arrived earlier understood this arrangement. Based on this logic, we might not be able to get our meals until 10:00, which was a pity. In the end, we left and went to another restaurant. It would have been better if they had told us directly that the wait would be long, so that we could have decided whether to continue waiting, instead of constantly asking people to wait another 5 minutes. The online reservation could also be cancelled because it was meaningless.

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

01/12/2025: A unique place. Visited for an aperitif. Everything was fine, but the quality/price ratio wasn't right.

28/11/2025: Great vibes, live music and fantastic atmosphere. Didn’t eat food here, only drinks & delicious cocktails. Was super busy so a slight wait for drinks but the bar staff were run off their feet and worked really hard to accommodate our party. Popped in for one…stayed until closing (think that sums up our enjoyment).

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.
