We were friendly with smiles, and the waiter would not look at us. The harder we tried to be friendly, the more disdainful he became. The antipasti was delicious, the mains were also delicious. But when I asked the waiter about the “a la Norma” he grimaced with,” it’s the regular a la Norma.” The salad was extremely disappointing: iceberg lettuce and two cherry tomatoes. The salad was NOT a Michelin salad. Overall, I would never go back, and I would not recommend this restaurant.

My only complaint with the degustation is that there was too much beautiful food. Service was impeccable.

Good morning. I can't help but respond to your review!! it's absurd!! I would like to understand why we should offer a coffee or a dessert?? Maybe you didn't realize you were in a restaurant??? you have to pay for coffee or dessert in a restaurant! if the bottle of rosé had been dear to you, you could have had the glass too. Have a nice day and thank you for your time.

€250 for half a lobster for two people. Incredibly expensive. The waiting staff were rude. The ambience was dead. The Michelin inspectors have dropped the ball on this.

The location was amazing but the food was just as I thought it would be.. seasbass very blend, scampi super small and could come out of shell. Good looked nothing like it’s in Guide Michelin

I’m not a person who leaves reviews but I have to for this restaurant. The service was impeccable. The food was some of the best we had so far through our travels in Sicily. The warmth and hospitality were overwhelming it is such a beautiful place to stop if you have the chance.

The food was very good. But not outstanding. The price wasn’t harmonized with the food quality, meaning was too high

Great ambience and view supported by the live music coming from the bar down at the square. Enjoyed the service by the owner / head waiter and his staff. We ordered three dishes in total. Crab spaghetti, Red Snapper (Grilled) and Grilled Vegetables. Other than the grilled fish, the plating was good, too. I was not sure if the crab meat came from the actual crab on the plate but that's okay, it tasted good. The grilled fish was cooked well but I would've preferred the head waiter asking us first if we would like to debone it before doing it himself. And in terms of plating, he just served it plainly with olive oil. We've had grilled fish before in Italy, even rucola, potato, onion, salad, a side on the same plate would've made it better.

It was a very nice evening. Wine good, food good and service good! Except the ravioli Norma. They were ok but a bit basic. Our Kids 2 and 6 had them too. They liked them. They Billed for the kids ravioli 2x 25€. It was not enough for them so we had to order extra pasta. I hope that was a mistake.... 50€ for two kids pasta is strange even if it would be a star retaurant which it is not.... All in all its a very nice location. If you like Taormina you will like this place too!

For a Michelin star resturant.. the food was tasty but not seasoned well. My beef had to be returned as it was under coooked. The side dish of the potatoes were very dry. I had mentioned during my booking it was a birthday.. nothing marerilaised.. no choc or small touches once the bill was presented.
