    The ingredients and service were phenomenal. Two exciting chefs that should work towards a little more balance of the amazing flavors they’ve pieced together. Would go back for seconds 10/10 times. The langoustine carpaccio was like butter. Multiple “wows”.

    Fantastic food with surprising combinations of ingredients that made the experience one of the best we ever had.

    Dear Christer, thank you for your kind words. We are so glad you and your family spent a nice experience at Teatro 44. Thank you for coming a second time, hope there will be a third if you ever come back in Taormina. See you soon :)

    The food in this restaurant was incredible but for some reason it was quite empty so lacked atmosphere. I have no idea why people are not flocking to eat in here, it is off the main drag and so does not have the footfall but the food was so good should be rammed! I would definitely recommend it and would jump at the chance to eat in here again.

    We choose this restaurant based on the positive feedback from Fork Customers. We arrived a little early to an empty restaurant. We asked for the house wines but they were out, immediately hiking up the price of the wine. The waiter made us up a starter of oysters, carpaccio of fish and a shrimp tartar. Tasty. Mains were all good but my son, asked for his steak to come without the Parmigiano as he doesn't like cheese. This was clearly lost in translation as the steak was served completely by itself without mash or vegetables. More customers did arrive but the atmosphere remained stilted. Food was good but expensive. Would not go back.

    The tasting menu was in the amazing category. Service was lovely. We got there a bit early when it was quiet to start with - but livened up later - and would recommend booking a bit later. Great value for the quality.

    Excellent food with very attractive presentations. The menu is very interesting with some innovative touches that give each dish an extra dimension. The only negative note was the very loud local musical group that came to play music for the tables outside- the volume was way too loud and disturbed guests inside who just wanted to have a peaceful conversation .

    Food was amazing. The owner was very attentive and informative. Not the least overbearing. Made for a lovely evening. Quite expensive but hey. Also the jazz music was the teeniest bit loud and was on a loop of about four songs all night. The food was the reason we made the Everest-like trip and it was worth the effort. Overall, very good indeed.

    Taormina is full of "me too" restaurants. Some are very good, but they are not especially creative. T44 is not like that. They try stuff and the results are often very good. These folks think like artists, not just like chefs -- and you know it the moment you walk in. So yes -- give it a try.

    Had a great 5-course chefs menu dinner, all composed around a superb Etna white wine. Teatro44 is a quiet and cozy oasis just a little away from the overcrowded tourist areas and in a class of itself. This was our last evening in Sicily before flying back to Germany and a perfect “last-vacation-day -special-dinner”! Thank you for the excellent food and superb service! 🙏

    This restaurant was wonderful. They were very friendly, romantic, and the food was out of this world. Just fantastic. I couldn’t believe we were able to get a table there the same night. I can’t recommend it enough. Bravo!

    Food was tasty and presentation was great. Ambiance and service were sub-par. In a dead part of town (at least when we were there, mid-september ~8:30pm on Thursday) and not great service multiple times spilling on the table and us.

    I want to preface this review by stating that nearly ALL of the food in the city of Taormina is absolutely horrible. We decided to come here after reading great reviews and seeing great photos of this restaurant. It was a very hot night so upon arrival we wanted to sit inside. However, the air conditioning system was broken/non-existent so it was very very hot. I ordered a glass of wine which I suspect was a bottle that had been opened the previous night since it was not fresh at all. The real issue we had was the food. We ordered two different types of pastas which were both practically inedible. The pasta I ordered was extremely fishy tasting and my wife's pasta was a little bit better but we simply couldn't eat it. We ended up eating a few bites and just leaving. This was a pretty unfortunate way to finish our trip but it seems to be the theme of the city if you don't know where the good restaurants are.

    This was an amazing dinner! We sat outside and maybe as it was film festival (Indiana Jones night) was very quiet. Fernando our server was wonderful and helpful with wine and food suggestions. Highly recommend!

    The food here is excellent! This place really deserves to be rated as a five start restaurant! Every dish we tried was cooked well and was very fresh. What was poor is service and lack of AC inside the restaurant. I hope this place does well, because the kitchen does an amazing job. The dishes very truly perfect!

    The worst food we had in Italy- I still don’t feel well after that meal, the cod was chewy and every dish had a taste of uncooked fish with no innovation or intention in any of the dishes. I really wanted to like it but it was honestly terrible.

    The servíce is neither professional nor correct and the food expectations are far from the menu price. It is not recommended.

    Great little restaurant away from the busy streets of Taormina. Food was outstanding and very well prepared and presented. Chef have a description of each dish as it was served and the manager (owner?) was very attentive and friendly

    We tried the tasting menu and it was AMAZING! It’s better than the one in Principe Cerami at Four Seasons! And the price is very reasonable! The owner (I believe he is the owner) is very nice! Grazie mille!

    We were looking for a unique dining experience.. the pasta with sea urchin was at best difficult to eat.. the taste of the urchin was overwhelming. The steak meal was raw. The sweet potato fries were excellent. We liked the ambience, and hope they succeed however none of us actually ate our meals. The appetizer of roast beef was paired with sea urchin and avocado. Such a bizarre pairing. I think they might be able to survive as their intent and objectives are creative.

    Superb food and we loved the design of the restaurant. It's a little off the centre where most tourists go and they probably want 'average food served outside' rather than going somewhere with vastly superior food in a modern way. Please go and give them a go as they really deserve to do well

    Teatro is located on a quiet, narrow , nice street. I had a 7 course chef’s menu with wine pairing. Both the food and wine were excellent and the presentation was attractive. The service was super friendly and nice. Highly recommended!

    The best restaurant in Taormina - we ordered the 5 course menu (65€) but after the first few courses we asked if we can upgrade to the 7 courses menu (85€) because the plates were so so so good! Of you are really hungry - try the 7 courses! We were searching for that special taste - and we found it there! The staff was really attentive and nice and the chefs brought the plates to our table and explained everything! So if you are in Taormina - go there! The restaurant is a little bit outside of the action so it’s not easy to find if you’re not looking for it - but from the main road only a 5 min walk! We really loved our evening there - Grazie Mille, Teatro44 - da veramente il miglior ristorante in cui abbiamo mangiato qua ! Complimenti

    The staff were so welcoming and very friendly. i loved the way the restaurant was decorated. the food on the whole was absolutely delicious and very authentic with excellent wine pairings. We booked quite early and as such were the only people in the restaurant for the first half which affected the atmosphere. The fish dish was a bit salty for my taste but other food was great.
