10/10Great, friendly welcome, fantastic setting for couples or larger groups, food was delicious. We tried lots of different things on the menu over two visits - so good we came back a second time - everything so tasty. Good selection of drinks, wine and cocktails too. Everyone around us seemed to be enjoying their experience. Maybe just a little more expensive than some nearby restaurants but well worth it.

5/10After having read the reviews, we expected much better. Over cooked meat, small portions and over priced menu. Disappointed.

9.5/10Very good meal with super fresh food. We had the fresh raw langoustines and tuna tartar for starters followed by a beautifully cooked tagliata and the pasta of the day 'beef ragu'. Service was very pleasant although some finger wipes would have been handy after eating the langoustines. Lovely setting in a small garden courtyard.

7.5/10Service was great, they seemed genuinely sorry that one of our guests dish was too salty and we had to send it back. It was a bit disappointing to have to do that though. Lovely place and service, but the food was disappointing.

3.5/10Overpriced restaurant and the head waiters are interested in pushing the house special without a price making you very uncomfortable. The wine list is seriously overpriced and asking customers to top end prices. There is far better restaurants in Taormina that offer high quality without ripping off tourists. This type of business could damage Taormina.

7.5/10Lobster pasta was excellent, the orange sea bass barely tasted of orange and was a very small filet for the price. our hotel recommended the restaurant and every person there was from the hotel which made me feel there was an arrangement of sorts. Garden is very pretty and food was very good as was the service

6/10Somewhat hurried personel. Food was ok but nothing special. Bit of a strange atmosphere, we had the feeling that not all customers / tables were treated the same.

4/10After reading reviews I booked and was bitterly disappointed, very rude and unfriendly staff. The place was empty and lacked atmosphere & I felt not welcome. The food was ok but very expensive!

10/10We enjoyed everything about our dinner at Arancia! It is a lovely restaurant, the service was attentive, and the food was wonderful! We particularly enjoyed the sea bass, which was very fresh, with it's very tasty topping which included the best tomatoes we have ever tasted. Highly recommend!

8.5/10We, including our small dog, were warmly welcomed in an elegant setting. The menu was interesting and the food well presented. However it arrived so quickly we had not had time to savour a sip of wine. And i cannot imagine it was prepared especially for us

5/10It felt like a tourist trap. Prices in the bill were not matching the prices in menu, every item was 3-5 euros more than in the menu. Food was average quality, but very high price. Would not suggest this place, Taormina has such great restaurants, but not this one. The sardines were not fresh, we have been paying the same amount of money for super delicious dishes, but this one was a waste of money

9/10We’ve been here in previous years. It was a bit disappointing because they were turning the tables quickly so rushing us to order and our food came too quickly. We enjoyed the marinated sardines and grilled octopus although the octopus sauce was a bit gooey. The seabass was perfectly seasoned. The pasta and crab and the pasta and lobster had great taste with just the right amount of sauce. The wine we chose was a perfect compliment to all dishes

10/10Googled best restaurants in Taormina. Came upon this one. It's in a little side alley from the main shopping lane. The ambiance is so beautiful as it's under a canopy of trees. The food was delicious! And the service was impeccable. Great place to dine in and enjoy Sicilian dining. Prices were reasonable as well. My whole party enjoyed ourselves.

10/10Food was very good! Freshest fish was prepared with pasta, and that was very simple and delicious! No tomato paste, just a little natural tomatoes, fresh fish and perfectly cooked pasta! Local red and rose wine will make your dinner more tasty)

10/10Just lunch for my husband and me, we split the tri-colored Caprese salad. Mario had the Seabass pasta special and I had the sardine pasta with breadcrumbs and capers. Everything was amazing. Vincenzo suggested a wine that was delicious. I highly recommend this restaurant.
