    Food and service were great. Courses came out much too quickly, only negative.

    The food and service were excellent. We had a group of seven and the staff accommodated us by putting us at one versus two separate tables. The staff were very attentive. We all enjoyed our meals. The special ricotta starter was delicious!

    We were recommended Rosmarino. It’s not in the main hub of Taormina itself - but not far to walk and just by the beautiful park. Definitely worth seeking out. The service was great and the food delicious. The menu had plenty of choice. We opted for the specials and weren’t disappointed. Would recommend

    Good food but sadly let down by poor service - we waited 25mins for someone to take our drinks order after arriving & then they asked for food order & we had to wait again for the sommelier to arrive. This was the most expensive restaurant we visited in Taormina & certainly didn't deliver value for money in terms of service & food. Disappointing...

    This restaurant came highly recommended both by locals and online reviews we read but we were sadly disappointed. Not sure if it was an off night but the food was bland and quite tasteless. We had to send back one of the side dishes (green beans) we had ordered which were cold and had none of the described flavours. We heard another table complaining about the same dish. They were clearly very busy but the service was not good - we waited a full hour for the bill after asking for it at the end of our meal and were outright ignored as we tried to flag someone down. However the sommelier was very helpful and recommended some delicious wine which we really enjoyed.

    It’s a struggle to find good food that isn’t fine dining in the area. This is exactly what we were looking for. Great traditional food that is cooked really well and tasted great. Thank you

    My family had visited Rosmarino when they visited Taormina a few years back. They remembered it and owner, Rita, fondly. The experience we had this year was the complete opposite. Little attention paid to diners, food was subpar and the whole meal felt like the waitstaff were just going through the motions. Disappointing.

    The service by 2 of your female waitresses was exceptionally poor. They were rude with there smug attitude, I would never return or recommend your restaurant to friends traveling to Taormina.

    Enjoyed the food. Service a bit uneven. We ordered two salads, got one, asked a second time for the second but never received it, then noted that the check showed we got three.

    Pasta was very good as was the arancini. Service was disappointing. Nobody ever came to check on us. Our food was initially brought way too quickly before we had wine or bread/olive oil. We felt rushed and then never tended to once we placed our order

    Too noisy. The somelier was a little aggressive trying to sell expensive wine on the list. The quality of the tuna was poor and tasteless, required some form of dressing. This was fed back to the Somelier?, and no apology or alteration to bill.

    Service was good but the food was not what we had hoped for. Three of the four people in our group were disappointed in their main dish. The sea bass was cooked well and moist but had very little flavor. Two of the pasta dishes could have used more sauce and were pretty dry. The side salad with oranges and onions was loaded up with onions on top and there was no dressing. This restaurant seems intent on preparing dishes that are non traditional with a unique combination of ingredients. Unfortunately, in the process, the chef has omitted flavorful elements of the region. I won’t be returning or recommending to others.

    Lovely small restaurant. Raw fish appetizer was huge and delicious and reasonable. The mussels were excellent. We shared pasta alla Norma which was a very good size and also very good. The Mt Etna wine was delightful. Very good value for what we paid.

    Food, location, aspect - we loved arrancini and canolo and tiramisu. Our kid had a perfect roasted chicken with potateos - delicious as well.

    Delicious food and wine. Very pleasant and helpful staff. Away from the bustle of Taormina centre and good selection if not wanting pasta

    We had a great time. The food was excellent and the staff was friendly and helpful. We had a nice table outdoors overlooking the park. I made a mistake with the payment but the owner was very quick to help me fix the problem. The staff had to turn away a lot of visitors as they were fully booked so I’d recommend to make a reservation. Highly recommended!

    Food quality was good but service was rushed. At point of paying I was informed the card machine was playing up and was asked if I could play cash. I didn’t have enough cash so was advised there was a cash machine round the corner. I’m not convinced there was anything wrong with card machine.

    We had a little lovely time at Rosmarino. My daughter had the best pasta she has ever had and the atmosphere and staff were excellent. We had a bit of a wait but we can understand why! The food was delicious and we are going back for sure

    Food ok, service poor, served starter before drinks, waiter was asked 3 times for a glass of wine with no action. Told owner of problems and was told that the weather was hot and they were struggling, worst restaurant we visited in Sicily .

    Great location with equally amazing service and food. Can highly recommend. My husband is coeliac and they had a whole allergen section at the back of the menu so he knew exactly what he could eat.
