Let's face it, Taormina has a LOT of places where you can enjoy a quality meal... ...and in our time here, THIS has been the place to go. No, it isn''t on the Corso Umberto (so you'll save some € right off the top), and it is not a large restaurant - so your food HAS to be just right or they wouldn't survive. Not only are they surviving, they are THRIVING, because their food is so good! We'd read about the Swordfish with a pumpkin sauce and fennel on another review - my wife had that and it was astounding. The morsels of swordfish were bite sized, tender, and oh, so flavorful! Yes, this is definitely one of their signature dishes - although our waitress (fluent in English) advised her to get a side dish to complement her order - she went with grilled vegetables, which turned out to be the perfect accompaniment. My Linguine con Fruta Di Mare was spectacular. Mouth watering to look at, it was loaded with morsels of squid, mussels, clams and shrimp. Fantastic! Whatever you choose to have, DO save room for dessert! Their tiramisu is without a doubt, among the top three i've ever had. Buon appetito!
I ordered the lobster pasta. For 30€ (it's expensive for this area) you get only a small and only half of a lobster. The taste was ok, I had far better ones. My friends ordered pasta Norma (eggplant pasta) for 15€ which you normally get for 8-10 € elsewhere and these were also just ok. In short: this Place is considered slightly more expensive than other places. They automatically charge a tip of 2.50€ per person. The taste is very average and we would not come back again. The Ambiente was also ok.
This place was hands down amazing. I can't recall the names of the items, but everything single thing we ordered was hands down amazing. We were blessed with an amazing server Irina, who was so sweet and kind. She gave us reconnections and made sure we had a pleasant experience. We came here for lunch and spent a good two hours and enjoying the experience. I'm going to dream about this place.
I will preface this by saying that my SO is a chef and so we both have incredibly high standards for quality of food when we choose to eat out. That being said, everything about this meal was perfect, and if you are staying in Taormina or are willing to brave the narrow, winding streets to drive here, you will not be disappointed. It was our first night in Sicily, we were staying about 40 min away near Riposto, and we were lucky enough to call at 6:30 on a Friday and get a reservation for 7:30. We called them at 7:30 to let them know we were searching for parking and would be a few minutes late, and they were so gracious. Found a small parking lot (see my illustrated photo for directions), handed over the keys to our rental car for 3 euro/hour, and ran over to the restaurant. We sat inside and it was lovely. I ordered a bottle of white wine, and my SO and I, who are huge sushi/sashimi lovers, shared one portion of the Sicilian style carpaccio (shrimp, salmon, swordfish, and tuna) and it was to die for. He had the shrimp diablo (can't remember exactly what it was called on the menu) and he loved it, generous portion at 9 large skrimps! I had the Pennette di Mimmo which she warned me was medium spicy, but it was so perfect and I was nearly brought to tears with my first bite. For dessert I had the tiramisu and he had the chocolate and white chocolate mousse, both excellent. Bill came to just under 100 euro and I would have paid much more, it was just that good. One warning about the parking I recommended and using gps - when you exit the parking lot, you must make a left down the narrow street, which ends a block later forcing you to go left or right. We followed our gps down the hill and to the left, and ended up in a street too narrow for our car (VW golf, not a large car!) caused some damage, and wound up having to reverse about 100 feet and make a zillion point turn to turn around and go back a different way. All that is to say, if your gps directs you to go down the hill and to the left DONT DO IT, go right instead, and let your gps re route you. Buon appetito!
This was epic. The special of the day was big red shrimp in a sauce of oil, garlic, peperoncini, and brandy. It was impressive. The tiramisu was also good enough to live up to it being the namesake of the restaurant. I would definitely eat here again. Don't let the number of languages they translated the menu into scare you away. There was a wasp flying around my food and head though on the terrace so it could be a good idea to sit inside.
Best seafood meal of my life!!! We shared the seafood salad, pesto pasta, and seafood chowder. Our server not only spoke the clearest English I've heard since we got here, she also recommended a terrific wine. The staff is very warm and prompt. Don't miss the tiramisu! You won't regret it. We went on a Thursday night around 9pm - got to experience some fun local performing musicians as they strolled through. Reservations are a good idea, although they squeezed us in inside.
Excellent Food, great service, romantic ambiance. Tip: Make a reservation as dinner time gets busy. i recommend coming in person to make rezy for following evening as online is not available. For two hungry people we ordered 3 pastas, a bottle of wine & 1 tiramisu. Everything was exquisite --- make sure to ask for olive oil with the complimentary bread. read more

Been all over the island and so many of the restaurants are tourist traps with terrible food. The food here is epic! So happy we happened upon this establishment. read more
