This is possibly one of the worst restaurants we have ever eaten in. Mushroom risotto quite clearly from a packet and not a very good one at that!! Calzone wasn't much better!! Plastic tables and chairs should have been a warning!!! House white wine like paint stripper!! At 55 euro for 2 antipasti and 2 main dishes with one drink... More

Nice little restaurant in central Taormina, good service and atmosphere. We went twice, once to shelter from the rain, and glad we did. Then returned another time in lovely weather, and had another plate of Carbonara and some spectacular cocktails

We only stayed in Taormina for 4 nights at the end of our honeymoon (August 2011) but were so impressed by this restaurant that we visited it on 2 of those 4 nights. The food was lovely and really good value for money, especially as the wine was so cheap. If we do ever return to Taormina, we'll definitely be... More

I really loved this restaurant food is really genuine and service very efficient. Good value for money. The ravioli filled with salmon and pesto di pistacchio was delicious and even the pizza al limone. I am not a fan of pizza myself but couldn't resist not tasting this pizza, it was really good. Surely I would visit this restaurant again... More

Having read other reviews I was looking forward to eating here. I have to say that the service left a lot to be desired. The guy serving us was anyone but friendly and the speed of service was lousy when taking into account that we were the only people in the restaurant. Having visited plenty of Italian restaurants both in... More

We ate here because we had seen good reviews on Trip Advisor, on our first night out in Taormina. The food is fine, but the portions were enormous, so we wished we had shared a starter. After our Pizza, the owner asked if we wouldn't mind moving tables so he could accommodate a larger group, and offered us a free... More

We ate here 3 nights out of our week holiday and weren't disappointed. The bruchetta and pizzas are fantastic and worth going back for. We didn't have any dessert so can't comment. They have tables outside and on the steps leading down to the restaurant. Service was fine, nothing to complain about. Very attentive and helpful.
