The food was good but the service can be described as absent.

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!

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.

RayaThank you Simona for your comment. Kindly Valentina

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!
9.0
Pretty garden patio restaurant in the heart of tourist town Taormina. The menu is updated to reflect local freshly sourced food. Our chosen dishes-beef carpaccio, octopus on a carrot purée, mains of beef ragu on tender pasta, for my husband slow cooked fillet of beef and cannolo to finish. I ordered almond tart which was unexpectedly more like a biscuit (think digestive). The dessert wines were delicious. Service & ambience very good.
RayaThank you for your comment. Hope to see you again. Kindly Valentina

Delicious food combined with impeccable service. An amazing alfresco dining experience. The owner Valentina was professional and personable. She has made our evening extra uncomfortable.
RayaThank you David for your kind comment. We had a nice chat and it was a pleasure to have you both at our RayaRestaurantTaormina. Looking forward to see you. Sincerely Valentina

Lovely restaurant in a beautiful courtyard. Modern Sicilian cuisine, which was delicious. Attentive, discrete staff. A real gem, a must on an itinerary for Taormina.
9.5
We had a superb meal at Raya. The food is certainly not cheap. Starters for £18 and up, mains from £22 for pasta up to £30. Dessert £15. However it was worth the price tag for the quality and presentation of the food. The cover charge includes delicious bread and a beautiful amuse bouche type thing. My glass of wine was a local chardonnay which was delicious (£7). The only thing I would change is the lighting inside is quite bright hence lower score for ambiance. Outside looks lovely but in April everyone was seated inside.

Very good food & experience-even tho they did NOT have my Fork reservation ‘in the books’. PLUS. They open at 7:30 & not 7:00 which was when my Fork res was for! That said, they were very accommodating & friendly. Food was terrific. Squash blossom app was stellar!

We were very well looked after by the lovely Valentina who recommended a very nice wine. Food was wonderful, especially the tuna stuffed Zucchini flowers.

Beautiful setting under bougainvillea and twinkling lights. Just off Via Corso. Caring service, delicious food. We loved the parmigiana and caponata starter. Fish of the day with fresh, juicy, tomato and olive sauce. And fresh tuna in a pistachio crust were mouthwatering. Dessert was sublime tiramisu. Only Raya’s second season and we wish it ongoing success.
6.0
We waited very long for everything, over one hour for our main dish. The service was very unorganized but very friendly tho. The location is very nice, the food was disappointing according to the great ratings before.
RayaSo sorry Madame for the bad experience. Hope to have you here one more time to make you change your mind. Kindly Valentina
