7.5/10Staff and atmosphere were great, the food fell a bit short to be honest, but the rest made up for it.

10/10Incredible staff with delicious traditional sicilian cuisine. We are a family of 6 with all different tastes and all of our dishes were amazing. We stayed in Taormina for 3 nights and we loved the place so much that we went back there for a second time on our last night in town.

10/10My second visit to Taormina included a delightful dinner at Shelter, and it was nothing short of amazing. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted by welcoming staff who immediately made us feel at home. Their recommendations were spot on, enhancing our dining experience. The pizza at Shelter is truly unreal—flavorful, and undoubtedly some of the best I've ever had. Their extensive wine selection caters to all tastes, making it easy to find the perfect pairing for your meal. We originally had a group of four and had to add two more to our reservation last minute - the staff was so accommodating even though they were fully booked up! The staff continually checked in to ensure we had everything we needed, providing top-notch service throughout our visit. As a lovely gesture, they offered complimentary après-dinner drinks, a thoughtful thank you that capped off a perfect evening. I highly recommend Shelter for anyone visiting Taormina and seeking an exceptional dining experience. I'll definitely be returning again and again!

10/10Cute family run restaurant on a side street had yummy bruschetta, great pizza, and aperol spritz! After sight seeing around Taormina, it was nice to have a bit of reprieve at Shelter. Staff was friendly and spoke english!

5/10I regret to say that I cannot recommend this restaurant to anyone. The bread served at the table was stale and hard, as if it had been sitting around for days. The sea bass fillet I ordered was surprisingly thin and the most miniature fillet I have ever seen. It left me wondering if the kitchen was trying to save on ingredients. Equally disappointing was the pizza, which was chewy and unpleasant to eat. My son, usually a pizza fan, couldn't stomach more than a couple of slices due to its unappetizing texture. Despite the shortcomings of the food, the wait staff was courteous and accommodating throughout our meal. However, excellent service alone cannot compensate for the subpar dining experience. Save yourself the disappointment and explore other dining options in the area.

3/10Nice terrace. Extremely slow service (probably to make us order a 2nd bottle of wine). Good but expensive wines. Very ordinary food, little flavour and not particularly well cooked. Nobody asked how the food was, so probably the staff know it.

5/10Had to eventually cancel the entree since it never came and we had to leave. Talked to the waiter and he said they had a new chef and he really didn't know what was going on.
