"A great start - no annoying restaurant touts hanging around, so one can read the menu and make a leisurely decision. Lovely old school feel about the place, and cool refuge from the heat of the day . Appears to be family run with experienced owners and staff. We were there for a fairly late lunch and more or less had the place to ourselves. Food was excellent. Small mistake with the order immediately rectified. Prices fairly typical for places in Taormina ie on the higher side than some neighbouring towns"

"We visited this lovely family-run restaurant in Taormina with two families, including young children, and had a truly wonderful experience. From the moment we arrived, the staff were incredibly welcoming and fully accommodating to the children, which made our meal so much more enjoyable. The food was absolutely fantastic – fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with love. Every dish we tried was delicious, and the service was just as impressive – friendly, attentive, and genuine. A heartfelt grazie mille to the whole team for making us feel at home. Highly recommend for anyone visiting Taormina looking for a warm, authentic dining experience!"
