    I did not get the 30% discount that was promised when I booked this.

    The food was awful and barely edible. Calamari dishes were like eating rubber. Raw salmon and tuna, although fresh, were made with very low grade parts of the fish. Everything was very salty. To sum up, a bad experience!

    The waitress was superb. The menu was different from others we’ve seen and I didn’t find anything I wanted to order, so the waitress suggested the special pasta with olive oil and parmesan , just simple, and it was good. The tiramisu in a jar was weird. It was constant motorcycles roaring up and down the street because the restaurant is outside the walls where bikes park. I wouldn’t recommend this restaurant.

    Poor choice of badly prepared brown food. It was still too expensive even with 30% discount. Some other customers walked out.

    Upon our arrival, we were offered a table near the kitchen entrance, even though the restaurant was nearly empty. We had to insist on the better table before they gave it to us. It took them half an hour before taking our initial order for wine and appetizers The two appetizers we ordered, where cauliflower and calamari Both were awful The cauliflower dish was a pre-blended paste out of cauliflower, which was tasteless and calamari was overcooked and came without a sauce It took nearly 40 minutes and two request from us before they produce the final check

    The food was nice, but nothing exceptional. The restaurant is cute, in a calm alley. Service was great.

    Beautiful restaurant outside all the rivers of people, just a couple of meters up the entrance of old town. The food was amazing. Hard to define wich dish was better, but the winner was the ravioli, snapper in almond crust was very good too.

    Friends recommended this restaurant. I had passed off the day which was with pieces of cooked local fish with two raw shrimps on the top. It was unusual why raw shrimps, but it was very tasty . The waitress was very pleasant and helpful.. people were coming late for dinner even after 10.30PM.. The restaurant was full and atmosphere was very pleasant.

    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!
