I migliori ristoranti di cucina pizza e pastanella città Taormina della Messina

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.

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

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.

31/10/2025: This restaurant was really good a few years ago, which is why I came back. Unfortunately, the food was extremely bad; it has nothing to do with the food it used to be. We've been to many restaurants, but this is by far the worst one for miles around. The dishes looked very unappetizing and were tasteless. The wine was terrible. The man who served us initially was very rude and clearly hated his job. He slammed the water and the empty bottles of oil and vinegar down on the table. The woman who served us afterward, however, was very nice. I would never go to this restaurant again. It's also ridiculously overpriced now. Stay away from this place. Unfortunately, it was all very disappointing!

30/10/2025: Four of us ate there. Steak, grilled prawns in cognac, vegetables, potatoes, and pasta. A complete disaster. Because the restaurant is always full, you'd think it must be good. Beware!!! Tourist trap!!!
