    The ambiance, service, and FOOD was amazing! I had the homemade macaroni and my husband had the seafood soup and we ate raving about it. Been in Sicily 4 days and we love this place. Go and experience great food

    Food was amazing, but the place is too crowded (or too many tables for such a small place)

    great food and service, pity the terrace is next to cars and bikes, but probably the best restaurant in Taormina.

    Space is quite tiny, so they try to make the most of it. However a table for 4 where only fits 2 comfortable, just in the entrance of the hotel, is prone to get a lot of people touching your back during your meal. Food is just ok, and the highlight is the sympathy of the staff.

    The waitress was charming and the waiter that helped us pick the wine also made us laugh with his humor. They had the best spaghetti con sardi I have had yet on the island and the lobster ravioli was out of this world. Malvasia is is an excellent choice when visiting Taormina.

    Delicious Italian dishes and outstanding table service! We enjoyed the eggplant parmigiana, ravioli with shrimp and pistachio and pasta with anchovies. Paired with a local dry white wine which was really good. Best food in Italy so far!

    The food was good, but not exceptional. The service was slow when it needed to be fast (eg. Make sure the table has its water order quickly on arrival) and fast when it should have been slow (impatient in taking order). Felt too much like we were being treated like tourists to be processed efficiently out of the door, rather than being made to feel like guests.

    Great food: eggplant parmigiana and seafood ravioli delicious, seafood soup very good, especially broth and swordfish but mussels too small, lemon pasta also great but could use more sauce. Service was friendly but minimal as they were very busy. There was no music and too much light so not much ambiance but who cares when the food is yummy and you have good company?! Great authentic restaurant full of locals which is always a good sign, well done.

    I came here twice during my 7 day stay in Taormina- once with a group of 13 people! Everything was truly delicious! Highly recommend the seafood ravioli and the lemon linguine. This place was recommended to me my friends and did not disappoint!

    Fantastic food with a great choice. We had gratin scampi, fillet steak, shellfish ravioli. Kids loved the spaghetti in tomato sauce. 3 courses with drinks for 4 of us for less than €200

    Amazing restaurant. Typical Sucilian cuisine with a good variety of food, great quality and service. Food was definitely amazing. Very close to the Duomo but in a quiet spot of Taormina.

    The food was absolutely delicious and the restaurant was adorable, we sat outside on the patio facing the street so we got a great view of everyone coming and going from Corso Umberto. We loved it here and would love to come back.

    Food was excellent, service was brilliant, ambience was so good, we have been in Sicily 10 days and eaten here twice, the best restaurant by far and it is so reasonably priced. Will be returning on next visit, all food is made by the owners Mother in small kitchen in the back and boy can she cook. Delicious

    Very average experience. Tomato salad is just raw tomato. No seasoning, no dressing. Pasta was okey-ish. You can probably cook better pasta at home, but it eas edible. All in all, pretty weak experience.

    dear Sebastian, thanks for your review it's definitely the first time you've eaten in a restaurant, you've eaten all your wages, if you order a tomato salad it's normal that you get a raw tomato salad, otherwise you order a tomato soup if you want it cooked, there were no condiments? So what were the oil, salt, pepper and balsamic vinegar that were on the table for, just to fill the table? It's very expensive to eat and pay €48.50 for two?
