The food was BY FAR the best we’ve had our entire 10 days in Sicily! The service was impeccable, and everyone was more than accommodating. I wish we had found Osteria Santa Dominica our first night in Taormina. We would have eaten there every meal!!

Food was good but service was subpar. We felt rushed by the waiters who would pay attention only when waived.

It's tucked away on a side street. The salad with fresh mango, avocado and pineapple was delicious. The blue lobster risotto was unique. We sat outside on the edge of the ledge and weather when the sun went down was pleasant during the hot summer season. We enjoyed the evening.

Amazing attention to detail! We enjoyed our 2 hour lunch here and could have stayed longer if we didn't have other plans. We loved the long lunch. Each course was prepared with care. The tiramisu was amazing for dessert as well!

Our driver recommended this restaurant. It did not disappoint. The service was superb - from the host to the servers to the kitchen staff. The food was an elevated take on local dishes. We would love to return while on our trip. It is also worthy of mention that the wine list is very well-curated and everything can be had by the glass as well.

On vacation in Sicily, we returned a second time for our last night. I had reserved for 6 of us but when we arrived our table was set up outside. However is was raining and quite chilly so we didn’t want to sit there. They had a party of 17 indoors, so it was quite crowded. But Gian Luca the owner went out of his way to re/arrange the tables and made room for us. Gian Luca has a passion & love for what he does. He personally goes to every table & describes the special dishes being served with much gusto and fervour. Food is superb, service is excellent & for the second time there we all thoroughly enjoyed our dinners. To end the evening, Gian Luca took a selfie with our group. What a wonderful gentleman, excellent staff and excellent food! Sicilia we’ll be back.

Probably we were just unlucky - it was 5 pm staff leaving and new staff arriving - took 20 mins to order wine only to be informed that I should order red wine and not white. Asked for ice for the water at the table was told that the water was cold enough - main courses eventually arrived and not what I ordered! We had a plane to catch and the replacement was quick but the mood was broken. As I said maybe we were just unlucky but it seems they do take themselves a little too seriously perhaps - give the customer what he/she wants.
