I thought the food was tasty. But the menu can be misleading- it requires a better english translation for travellers. Restaurant seemed short staffed but the two people working work doing their best to accommodate a full house

Brilliant location and staff, food was amazing and gluten free pasta my partner had was better than most "normal" pasta I've eaten!

The owner explained the options in detail. The service was attentive, and the food was delicious. Not complicated at all.

We were recommended this restaurant by friends and it did not disappoint. The setting is lovely and you feel away from the busy street. The food selection is not only exceptional but the quality is phenomenal. We thoroughly enjoyed all our courses and the only thing better overall than the food was the staff. They were fantastic and knowledgeable which made the entire meal more than memorable.

Great atmosphere...off of Corso Umberto, the restaurant is in a beautiful setting, with 5-star service and food quality. Prices are reasonable for the quality and setting of the restaurant. We also found the owner is a neighbor to us in our Taormina home!
