10/10We saw this restaurant had a good rating on Google Maps and it didn’t disappoint. It was the best meal we had in Taormina by a country mile. Great atmosphere and wonderful food.

We had an absolutely terrible experience at Porta Messina. Despite our reservations, we had to wait 15 mins to get a table. Subsequently waited another 20 mins to give the order, 30 mins for the appetizers to arrive and over 1 hour for the main course. Waiters simply ignored us the entire time. The crew is engaged with the cooking class and doesn’t really care about the customers in the dining section. This was our worst dining experience in Italy. We should have left in the beginning after noticing the ordeal. Not coming back to this tourist trap.

8.5/10The food was very good, reasonably priced, but not outstanding. Servers were very polite, however, they had many tables to take care of, so they weren’t able to attend to all our needs on a timely basis. A very good experience overall.

8/10Gluten free pizzas were fantastic, some of the best I’ve had and a great size too, could barely finish it. Service was pretty good too.

9/10Our group of 7 spent our last night in Sicily at this festive, inviting restaurant. The staff were attentive and the atmosphere is lively and festive. The menu includes toward palatable Americanized choices such as spaghetti and meatballs, and Tito's Vodka. All our dishes were prepared well and food was delicious.

2.5/10It was one of the worst dining experiences we’ve ever had. Service was terrible. Main course came out 30 minutes apart and the pizza was cold and burned. There were other guests visibly unhappy around us as well. The reason why their reviews are so high is because they have their weight staff encourage the customer to submit a review at the table.

9.5/10We dined at this restaurant a couple of times during our recent visit to Taormina. The location is great and there are often people waiting to get in (7/7:30 starts to get busy). The food is really good and fairly priced. The mussels and several of the pasta dishes are great. We took cannoli making and pizza making classes here, as well. They were a blast !!! Shout out to Jackie/Francesca who is a fun-loving, patient, and expert cooking instructor. This place is well worth the visit !

Restaurant is a tourist trap, many fake profiles here and very expensive for the quality. It was very disappointing tonight, one of the lowest in Sicily. Tomato without flavor, ultra salty pasta. Sorry but I do not recommend tourists to go there. There are others much better in Taormina. 3 songs and it's over
