Authentic Sicilian restaurant with local recipes and Sicilian cooks. Very nicely decorated with a calming atmosphere, quite clean with nicely placed tables, serviceable and very helpful staff. Reasonably priced menu with a variety of options. The food was amazing, flavours on point with a ravioli with pistachio sauce that was delicious. The tiramisu felt home made, melted in every bite.

Little tucked away. The service here is like everywhere in Taormina: on Sicilian time. However, the aglio y olio was fantastic. Rumors are the cured meats were also delicious, but they were wasted on me.

Price-performance ratio is top! We had a very good Starter and a very good Pasta which was made from the old lady. Maybe it's the grandmother. On the menu they have only house wine but IT is also tasty.

We went here for dinner at 7:30pm on a Thursday night. (2) It has the most cozy feel, small indoor space and very inviting. The service was great. We ordered the eggplant Parmesan appetizer to start, after a month touring Europe, this was one of our favourite dishes. The sauce is very homemade, I need the recipe! It reminded me of an eggplant lasagna. We then shared the swordfish gnocchi and sea bass with garlic/white wine/tomato. They were both a 10/10 and healthy portions but nothing too over the top. A man with a ukulele came in and played a song during dinner which was a nice touch. We were too full for dessert, but everything that went out looked incredible. I would recommend making a reso to be safe. Definitely recommend!

We had an enjoyable time there. We got there at 7pm and we were the first ones to come for dinner. People trickled in as it got closer to 8. I had the lasagna and enjoyed it and my wife had a ravioli in pistacho sauce that I really enjoyed. The owner/ waiter spoke English well and easily took our order and explained desserts to us.

The food is great. The pistachio ravioli and the spaghetti with ragu I would highly recommend. My only issue is the price, so I would say absolutely go, just be prepared for a high bill. I understand its a tourist town, but 18€ is a lot for one dish, and 4,50€ for a soft drink, plus the cover charge of 3€ per person all adds up to make an overall very expensive meal (but the food quality was still very good).

Truly delicious! Everything we ordered was incredible and made with love. We will definitely go back. At the end our our meal, we were served pistachio cookies fresh from the oven. There were not many people there, but don’t let that persuade you. Everything is truly delicious and homemade.
