A quaint restaurant with friendly and quick service as well as decent food. This is a popular restaurant which offers traditional Sicilian fare. We tried their fried ricotta balls and stuffed anchovies for appetizers and honestly neither impressed much. For mains we tried two of their pastas one with a pistachio and cream based sauce which was strictly ok and the other with egg plant and tomatoes based sauce which was awesome. Their fish fillets in lemon butter and capers sauce was very good too. In the desserts we liked the tiramisu but not the canelloni too much. The jovial owner and the rest of the staff are very attentive. The prices are very reasonable. Would recommend them inspite of their few misses on the food.

It was average - the food, service and ambiance. I suspect we could have done much better in a town with so many restaurants

My sisters and I enjoyed our meals and desserts. The fried ricotta balls were our favorite. We highly recommend coming here as it was one of our best meals in Taormina! Toto especially made our dining experience so special! Chef Carmello added his touch to all we ordered.

Service is great here! One of the waiter’s Toto is especially great and knows how to make great conversation. Food is pretty good, but a bit simple/on the pricier side for what we got (swordfish dish and chicken marsala). The tiramisu dessert however is amazing!

Very very ordinary. Nothing special at all. Very “standard” menu. Very “standard” servings.

The restaurant was easy to find and was a typical sicilian establishment, offering a good selection of classics, pastas and seafood. Service was efficient and pleasant, my swordfish pasta was lovely, however my white fish in lemon and caper sauce was quite heavily over-seasoned and very salty. The fish cookery was still nice and it wasn’t entirely unpleasant. The house white wine was perfectly pleasant and was an overall nice experience.

This place is a true gem of Taormina! 🌿✨ Al Giardino delights not only with its beautiful garden and charming atmosphere but above all with its incredible food – every dish is a small work of art! 🥂🍝 The staff is exceptionally warm, friendly, and professional – they make you feel like a long-awaited guest rather than just a customer. Excellent wine, fresh ingredients, and a magical ambiance make you want to come back again and again. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for unforgettable flavors and experiences in the heart of Sicily! 💚🇮🇹

It was very good food; nicely prepared and good house wine. Busy on a rainy Thursday evening. Portions were shared and very excellent tiramisu for dessert. Everyone was pleasant and helpful.
Al GiardinoThanks

Fantastic food. Homemade pasta was delish!! Wine recommendation was spot on. We were all too full but Toto convinced us to get the cannoli. Was so good I wanted to take some to go. Will come back for more cannolis tomorrow. He even sang a little opera with our friend tonite. Do not miss this place!!
Al GiardinoThanks

We ate there because it was outside of the tourist trap maze in Taormina, and when we passed by one night at 9:00 it was filled with what appeared to be locals (or at least knowledgeable Italian tourists). Service was personalized and attentive. Bean soup with seafood was one of the best things I ate in Sicily. Otherwise swordfish overcooked and plain, side dishes mediocre. Nice wine, with assistance in the selection. I’d go back and give it another chance, I bet there’s some more good stuff on the menu.
Al GiardinoThanks

Tucked away from the heavy foot traffic of the city center is Al Giardino. Our server was attentive without being a distraction. The portions were perfectly sized and seasoned. The overall experience was a perfect vacation dining experience.
