    Do not go to this restaurant! We saw some good reviews, but have no idea why… the food is not good at all, the service is horrible and nothing special about the atmosphere. So many other good restaurants in town.

    10/10 from start to finish. Each course was completely unique, stand out dish was the pistachio sorbet which we hadn't seen before. Delicious! Staff were amazing, we asked to sit outside even though no-one was out there, they set up multiple heaters for us, it was so cosy, we weren't the only ones outside for long! 30% off food incentive for booking is fabulous too. Don't hesitate to visit, it made our trip in Taormina!

    The lamb chops were disappointing as there was hardly any lamb on them, however they did replace them.

    The restaurant was not busy on a Saturday evening. The focaccia was average, the Lobster Spagehtti were very good. The waitress did a ver good job. What I sbsolutely do not appreciate is, when the other waiter, who welcomed us very friendly, is spending most of his time with his mobile phone whilst sitting on a corner table in the restaurant. This is very unprofessionell If he is not busy he should disappear e.g. in the kitchen. I would not come back because of that…

    Grazie mille per la recensione, mi dispiace che ero messo indisparte, ma sono il proprietario, portando avanti l'attività anche quando c'è un po di calma e organizzare la stagione. La invito a tornare e faremo in modo di farla stare nei migliori modi possibili.

    The food is delicious; the chef takes great care in the preparation. You have a choice of eating outside in the garden or inside a very comfortable space. For us, the servers were the icing on the cake. Giuseppe took fabulous care of us, recommending both the wine and food. He also taught us Sicilian customs and the Italian words we needed to know to order a good meal. We can’t wait to come back! Marti and Ed

    Visited L'Arco twice during our stay in Taormina - fabulous food & great service. We particularly enjoyed the octopus starter & swordfish main paired with a delightful Etna wine - perfect! Thank you Pepe!

    I am Sicilian native but left this wonderful land about a couple of decades ago. When I am back, I always look for special restaurants where high quality and fresh food are served. ‘L’Arco dei Cappuccini’ is one of them. We started with the Mazara del Vallo red prawns and red tuna tartare. Just fresh crudités with homemade mayo, EVO+few drops of lemon juice and special crusty salt. This restaurant gave me back that taste of Sundays with family, when ‘pasta alla norma’ used to drive the long afternoon around a table with relatives. A simply well cooked Cernia in a crispy almond crust and a potato-basil sauce with which Chef Marcello allowed us having a sublime experience. We ended with two fresh made Cannoli alla ricotta and a small glass of passito di Pantelleria. A wonderful experience which is strongly recommended. Follow their advices.

    The wine was not properly stored, therefore very warm. The meat was not very tasty and somewhat overcooked.

    Very delicious food, nice atmosphere and super service provided by Gioseppe and his collegues. Portions are slightly smaller than other places, but fits better with our appetite, and the quality is higher. We can only recommend this place
