Please do not come to this place. I came around 8-9pm and was told it was full and come back around 11:30pm - 12:00am so we did around 12 and the hostess didn’t even look at us to talk to us. She told the bouncer not to let us in at all. And the bouncer was very rude, didnt have the littlest bit of respect. No eye contact, no hello, no nothing. Out of 106 countries i’ve been to this is the spot that I felt the most disrespected. A little sorry its full tonight would do or a little hey there is a big minimum spend or something. Cause there was clearly still available opening on the website with a minimum spend. As simple as telling us that with a bit respect would be nice. So please don’t come here.
Kevin J — Google review
This bar is absolutely beautiful and perfect for any evening out in such an amazing location. The staff are very kind and welcoming, and the chic, stylish interior adds to the charm. The atmosphere is truly unique and relaxed, with music that isn’t too loud or overwhelming. Not many places can match this style. It’s ideal not only for a romantic night out over drinks, but also for a variety of celebrations, from birthdays to bachelorette parties. Reservations are recommended; however, even during high season we were able to book a table for the next day and there were still seats available.

A place with scent of challenge for folks that oppose minimum spend policies and seek for quick cheap thrills. Very quircky, with differetiated decour; cocktails are nice, stylish and smooth; music for sophisticated ears. Worth visiting.
Tamara P — Google review
From start to finish it was nothing but a disappointment. It cost 50€ each for my friend and I to enter which included one small very average drink. The interiors were nice however all seating areas were cordoned off, stood over by security guards and “reserved” despite most being completely empty. There were 2-3 seats outside of these areas and nothing else so we were left standing despite paying such a ridiculous price for entry. The music was bland, the crowd was older and the atmosphere was dull at best - so if you are are visiting Taormina and looking for even an ounce of fun this certainly wouldn’t be the place to go, in fact I’d do your best to avoid it entirely.
Sophie B — Google review
This place is a literal dream. There is a minimum spend of 30 euros per person, but it was absolutely worth it to us. The ambience and interior is simply stunning. The drinks were unbelievably good, the service was amazing and you receive the nicest snack food with your drinks. Such a fun vibe all around! Highly recommend.

Very nice bar, you can go to the bar without reservation, but if you want to stay at the party later (after 22:00h) the reservation is a must. We liked the cocktails and the aperitivo very much.

Bam Bar is a laid-back spot in Taormina, Italy with a relaxed atmosphere and an artsy feel. It's known for its outdoor seating and specializes in serving traditional granita. The bar gained attention when the popular Italian musicians Il Volo praised it as having the best granita in Sicily on their Instagram. This endorsement caught the attention of many, including those who previously believed that the best granita was found in Syracuse.
The granite is incredibly good—definitely the best I’ve ever tasted. They are fresh and full of flavor. The brioche is also excellent; it was warm, suggesting it was freshly baked. The bar can get quite busy, with a long queue and a wait time of 30 minutes or more. However, I would recommend waiting because it’s definitely worth it to taste this delicious food.
Michele M — Google review
This bar is the ultimate experience for Taormina and Sicily in general. I feel like you can’t visit this city and not go there. The granites are so delicious, the fruits they make them with are super fresh and we also saw the delivery happen! You do have to wait in line but since the serving is mainly the granite no one sits for more than 20-30 minutes so you will be sat in 15 minutes. I went in the busiest time of August and we expected to wait much longer than that. The service is nothing more that what you need, they show you your table and come after a minute so you can order and nothing more than that. You just get your granites and then pay. The best part is th decoration, it is so pretty inside and outside, full of lemons giving you the full Italian vibe you want for the summer. I 100% recommend!!!!
Nassia K — Google review
Came here in the early afternoon time and there was a line already but no worries as we got past the line after about a 30 min wait. I had the coffee granita with a very soft and good tasting brioche bun and my wife had the chocolate granita also with a brioche bun. If you happen to close by, I say give this a try 👍🏽
Krammer A — Google review
The best granite in Sicily! The brioche was so delicious, the granites were so many - you have a big choice and they were very fresh with true fruit in it! The espresso was perfect too. The prices are very affordable - granite with brioche is around 6 euro. The biscuits with chocolate was good too. We came at Wednesday at 16:00 there was a queue but we didn’t wait more than 15 minutes. The atmosphere is very authentic. The service was very good too.
Дени А — Google review
We had to Q here but only approx. 10 mins. We were given the option of sitting inside or outside. It had been raining but outside is covered so we headed there. We ordered the famous Granita with brioche. Strawberry & cream and Almond & coffee. The brioche buns were huge. All was delish 😋 Reasonable cost also, service was smiley and fast and atmosphere was lively.

Outdoor seating…. Great granite and brioche …. Lovely place to have a snack ….this is the place to go for your granites. There was a little queue .. but we didn’t wait too long.
Zee L — Google review
There’s a reason for the line. Hands down the freshest most delicious granite in all of Sicily, friendly service. Warm brioche. Highly recommend the almond it is king. Best breakfast on planet earth. Go early or late to avoid crowds but don’t be afraid to wait it’s well worth it. Love.
Brendan A — Google review
Totally worth the hype - if you come here and don’t try the granita you’ve made a big mistake. We tried the persimmon one and the coffee one too. SO delicious - as is the brioche (also a MUST) to have alongside you granita. You will likely have to wait for a table but it’s in a nice spot in the town so it’s not a bad place to stand around waiting… we came in October and only waited 5 mins

A very nice, stylish, and cozy place with music and delicious cocktails! I tried one of the most delicious strawberry margaritas here. The prices are reasonable. It's one of my favorite places in Taormina! It's a very romantic place! Especially the areas under the trees with flowers.

The location is reaally cute. We drank daiquiri’s and they were great. We tried bruschetta with lemon flavoured ricotta and shrimps (or something like that) - wouldn’t recommened. Too pricey and all you could’ve tasted was intense lemone. Not practical as finger food.
Lucija D — Google review
Nice bar in a great location. The drinks were fine and reasonably priced, especially for Taormina. I liked their clever system for handling the queue. They asked for our phone number at the entrance and called us when a table was free, which worked perfectly. We understood that they had a long waiting list and wanted to serve as many people as possible, but the way they went around checking tables to see if guests had stopped drinking, asking whether they wanted another drink or the bill, felt a bit awkward. I’ve never seen that before.
Sotigris — Google review
A really good atmosphere and the drinks were fantastic. The Bahia was really good and mai tai's even better! The only disappointment was where the sat us was very rarely visited by the staff so ordering was difficult. (They sat us near the toilets, which was fine, just would have been good to check in a bit more often)

Went on the recommendation of some other travels we met along the way and they were right. A great vibey spot for a drink. I think they have some small plates but not a full on restaurant. However, in true Italian style, our drinks came w a lovely plate of snacks. As it got later, this place really filled up and had great energy. Cocktails were a bit pricier but you are paying for the experience and they were quite tasty!

Bar Turrisi is a unique and quirky establishment located in Castelmola, Sicily, Italy. The historic bar is known for its flamboyant decor featuring phallic-themed elements throughout the multilevel space. From large stone sculptures to bathroom taps, the interior is filled with phalluses of every size and medium, celebrating fertility and luck while also embracing the risque and libertine aspects of Taormina's history.
Very nice bar with a thorough homage to fertility. We had almond wine and espresso. Both very tasty. We didn’t have any food, but were told by others that they have great cake here.

We had bruschetta and a toastie - basic food but the views, location, service and the fun of the items inside more than make up for the food. Definitely a good photo stop. Very reasonably priced for both food and drink. There’s a few floors to this place so obviously the further up you go the better the views and generally quieter the tables

We were sitting in a bar one afternoon in September. The impressions are great: great music and service. I dropped my wallet somewhere in the square and I realized it 3 hours later. I called them from Taormina. They searched the square, found the wallet and returned it to me. Thanks again!

Very cool and unique place! It's really very quirky - there's lots of phallic sculptures in here, apparently to represent fertility. It is quite amusing though. We had a drink here and they brought over some complimentary snacks, which was a nice touch. I only marked it down one star for service as although it was good and he was friendly, we only got over the one drink.

My tour guide brought us to this cute little bar full of pen****. Def a place to remember. There were pen**** everywhere! My fav was the faucet in the bathrooms. 😂 Also, the almond wine was delizioso! 😋 I had to buy two to take home as gifts. They also make fresh cannolo’s. Def worth trying! Grazie mille!

Our B&B host sent us here to try the almond wine, asking that we not spoil it. It was a fascinating surprise, considering the furniture, decorations, bathroom walls, door handles... The wine was good and at the end we ordered something in the same style of the place (photo) and we were happy; they gave us the glasses in the pictures after paying (no reasons for a boring order like in a usual pub 😁).

We stumbled across Q bar in search of a drink and a snack. We were warmly welcomed and given a table on the terrace. A couple of refreshing Limoncello spritz followed with soft drinks for the kids. We then tucked into a delicious bruschetta selection, a fabulous pizza, tuna sandwich and more bruschetta (this time the traditional kind!) It was all super tasty and just what we needed and in a delightful atmosphere just off the hectic Main Street. Service was excellent and we would definitely return.

Excellent service and friendly welcome. We came here for lunch. We only wanted a salad and we were very happy with how fresh everything was. There isn't a view of the sea but the atmosphere here is very restful away from the hustle and bustle of the shopping streets nearby. Edit! We returned here a couple of days later at lunchtime for drinks only. There are many many places to eat in Taormina but not so many for just a drink. Peaceful and quiet but a minute away from the main shopping street. Bliss!

Visited Q Lounge on Sunday, 14 September between 18:00–19:00 and had a great experience. The service was excellent, prices were fair for Taormina, and the atmosphere was relaxed but still had a nice vibe. There was plenty of outdoor seating without feeling crowded, and the music added to the ambience without being overwhelming. The highlight was the large snack platter that came free with our drinks order – such a generous touch! Highly recommend this cocktail bar for anyone visiting Taormina.

Very dissatisfied with the service. We waited over half an hour for a simple sandwich. It wasn’t even particularly busy. The person at the bar argued with me, saying there was only one person in the kitchen. That’s not my fault—there’s a whole terrace and only one cook? When I told him to stop arguing, he did. But then he purposely brought the sandwich himself, just to prove his point. People like that have no business working with customers. It’s a shame that such individuals are employed in tourism. And the waitress could try smiling once in a while—a smile costs nothing. 🤗 (I'm adding this part after the owner responded. I don’t understand how it can take 35 minutes (based on exactly how long I waited for a single sandwich) to prepare one. I don’t think the problem is with me as a tourist, but rather with you being too stingy to hire more staff, which prevents this pub from living up to the standards worthy of such a beautiful city. Clearly, you know nothing about tourism and hospitality.)

The saddest aperitivo ever, only some chips served with it. If you pay by card they make you pay 1 euro more (which is illegal). The only nice thing is the atmosphere. Edit: the owner replied by saying it was a joke, however it is not true as I have the receipt and I know the prices of what I ordered, and I definitely paid one euro more. It wasn't a joke, they just try to force you to pay by cash (I wonder why 🤔).

The Sky Rooftop Bar Taormina in Hotel Continental has some of the best views in Taormina, and is perfect for a romantic aperitif with stunning views of Mount Etna. The staff are very nice and the prices are reasonable, making it a great place to try something unique.
⸻ We had a truly memorable experience. While I regret not capturing any photos, the ease of access via Google Maps and the exceptional level of service more than made up for it. Despite arriving without a reservation, our group of four was warmly welcomed just before sunset. A heartfelt thank you to Manuela for her gracious hospitality — and the thoughtful wine selection. Every Etna wine we tasted was outstanding. Highly recommended for both the ambiance and the impeccable service.

A hidden little place up the hill in Taormina. Fancy place with an amazing view, great food and service. Can attest to the quality being fair for the price. In particular, the Polpo scottato con soia e caramello salato su crema di patate, Crespolina ripiena di crema di melanzane su fonduta di piacentinu ennese, and Trancio di tonno alla griglia con olio e limone. Semifreddo rocher with almond is a nice dolce. Of the cocktails we tried Continental Margerita, White Lotus, Good View and all were very well mixed plus they had a good alcohol to drink ratio if you're not trying to get too buzzed.

A hidden gem! Spectacular views (Mount Etna and the Bay of Naxos)! Service provided by a great team. Good snack foods.

I liked a lot a view to Etna, the sea, and the mountains. Personnel was very friendly and the service was great. We enjoyed a sample of risotto as a starter, a compliment from the chef. All food was made from local ingredients and included authentic Sicilian dishes like caponata, spaghetti alle vongole, and sword fish rolls. From the wine list Sicilian rosato frizzante was a very good choice. We also liked very much traditional almond cookies and biscotti as a compliment. The music was from 70s, 80s, 90s to target the audience. And I would say that for 5 people, for full dinner, with wine and dessert, the total price was not too high, considering the quality of food and the environment. Highly recommended.

Perfect stop for a latte, drink, and some amazing views!! This historic and iconic bar and café known for its stunning views and long-standing association with prominent figures like Greta Garbo, Oscar Wilde, and Elizabeth Taylor. History: Founded in 1870 as an inn, it has evolved into a popular spot for locals and tourists alike.

Arguably the best view in Taormina, Cafe Wunderbar doesn’t waste the experience for a moment. With lovely shade and full sun areas, the prices reflect the tourist audience they serve and the billion dollar view. Where you will pay $10 euro for spaghetti bolognese in town, you are going to spend $26 at Cafe Wunderbar. The large toast was one of the best paninis I have ever experienced and, at $15, I didn’t even begrudge them the tourist premium. Delivered with formal, yet warm Sicilian customer service, Wunderbar was a worthwhile splurge along our Taormina adventure.

After having a lovely first evening & spending over €100 at wunderbar,I was planning to spend most of my evenings here. We decided to return next day however when I approached a member of staff regarding a table I was bluntly told no. Despite there being no queue & it wasn’t very busy they didn’t seem eager to seat us. I then overheard another member of staff comment I had no respect (Bald guy, Tall) Which was pretty obvious and diminishing. I didn’t know being a customer asking for a table was considered disrespectful.. This led me to explore how much more variety of local experiences you can find just around the corner and be lost yet home. Don’t recommend this place!

It was a weird experience! They forced us to have the lights on the table even that it was annoying for our eyes! They also forced us to move one of the chairs because they wanted in a specific and very strict order! Supper rude service! I am amazed by such a service in such place! They also had live music, it was loud and it ruined the atmosphere

La Capinera is an elegant restaurant just outside the center of Taormina, managed by renowned Sicilian chef Pietro d'Agostino and his sisters. The restaurant offers a terrace with stunning views of the Ionian Sea where guests can enjoy Chef D'Agostino's cuisine, known for its technical skill, culinary expertise, and focus on quality ingredients.
It has a Michelin star for a good reason. Eating here was a full experience and a story. We had the Terra&Fuoco | Land&Fire tasting menu and it was such a delicious experience. The stuff ware lovely and happy to help.

The strong suit of this restaurant is the location and views. For dinner you'll get to see the beautiful waters of the bay, with warm ocean gusts helping to keep you from dying from sweat. The one thing that I'm sure would bother most people but which we actually loved was the commuter and freight trains screening through every 20 minutes. It was such a jarring difference to the atmosphere we honestly thought it was awesome. We saw it as efficient transportation for coastal sicily and wondered how beautiful the views from the passenger trains must be. I think for a Michelin restaurant, the dishes were fine. None of them were real stand outs. The presentation felt a bit gimmicky and generic. Ie, we are a Michelin restaurant, therefore we must serve things in strange containers. Vs , we have unique ideas and we need unique ceramics to showcase them. The biggest offender was probably the coral "tuille" or whatever it was supposed to be. It had absolutely no flavor. You could taste the raw flour with barely any other seasoning. There was supposed to be saffron but it was imperceptible. I know how a mediocre tuille is made. I've botched a few as a hobbyist. Nothing tasted bad. But nothing made us go wow either, except for the views.

Our first impression of the restaurant was already spoiled, as it is located next to a busy southern road with constant traffic noise. Unfortunately, there are only two tables inside with a sea view; all the rest overlook neighboring houses. In the evening, trains passed right next to the restaurant, and there was loud music either from a nearby villa or from the beach. All of this is completely unworthy of a restaurant of this kind. The staff is excellent, and the dishes look appealing, but we found no new or exciting flavors. We left feeling disappointed and still hungry. After this restaurant, we went to another one.
Hanna H — Google review
I had high expectations for La Capinera in Taormina, given its Michelin star rating, but unfortunately the overall experience was a little disappointing. Dishes lacked the creativity and finesse one would expect from a Michelin-starred establishment. Wine pairing was not to my liking. Service was also underwhelming, aside from Cherbern who was great, with very quick service between courses and lacked the timing for the wine pairing. I hope they can improve to meet the standards that come with such accolades. PS you've set your Google maps page to being a hotel not a restaurant. Update - Pietro, would be happy to set up a zoom video call to discuss further upon my return. It isn't the customer's priority to bother the chef on the evening, it is incumbent on the chef to visit their customers on the floor to see how they're enjoying or not.

A really enjoyable meal in Taormina. Service was impeccable, all needs were addressed. We attended dinner with a 2 month old baby and the staff were fantastic. The food was delicious, really great flavours in the fire and earth tasting menu. We also went for the 5 accompanying wines and the wines from Sicily we tried were sublime. Really great pacing too on the meal. Definitely recommend and would go back again to try the other dishes.

The Duomo di Taormina, also known as the Cathedral of Taormina, is a historic medieval Catholic church located in the heart of Taormina. Built around 1400 on the ruins of a church from the Middle Ages, it features a grand arched interior with elaborate statuary and a Latin cross plan with a trio of aisles.
Lovely church in the heart of Taormina. Particularly beautiful just after Easter. Walk in and you are hit with a wall of floral perfume. The decoration is very typical of the style of building but well worth a visit.

Romanesque The Cathedral of Taormina (Duomo di Taormina), located at the heart of Piazza Duomo, is a striking blend of medieval austerity and Sicilian charm. Built in the 13th century and later modified, its fortress-like exterior contrasts beautifully with the elegance of its interior. The rose window and baroque elements add a unique touch to the otherwise Romanesque structure.

The worst bar in Taormina, I advise against visiting. The bar owner is rude and violent. He almost made me cry and gave me an anxiety attack. I really thought he was going to hit me just because I didn't like a drink, and I kindly explained that it tasted strange. A feeling of fear even came from the employees. This establishment should be reported.

This fine establishment is a guilty pleasure no matter who you are, or how much or not so much dosh you have. Centrally located just in front of Porta Messina gate, you will not be disappointed with the freshly prepared food or drinks on offer. The hamburgers and other menu items are to die for especially if you need a break from all the fine Sicilian fare. Tony the proprietor joined my wife and I for a few lovely and homely pints of Guinness and conversed with us as if we had known each other for years. Highly recommend the ‘Time Out Pub,’ for a unique change from all the other Taormina offerings.

Four of us went in to watch the football and sat at a table we could find and it just happened to be 2 tables joined togehter. Waitress came over and 2 of us ordered drinks as 2 of us just wanted to wait abit as we had just had an ice cream. Then the owner comes over in a very rude way asking why we only ordered 2 drinks and that he needed to separate the table. We were totally fine with him separating the table but it was his whole approach. I've never known such rudeness from a publican. When I said we will be ordering more drinks, he said 'when? 10 minutes?' There are ways to get your point across in a polite manner. We were polite to you. We ordered 7 drinks in total. Would never enter this pub again.

The atmosphere is laid-back and intimate—a secluded, chilled-out spot with great music that makes you want to stay for hours.

The selection of wines were excellent and the guidance/recommendations from the manager were spot on. You can tell he loves his job as we watched sit down with several patrons to walk them through their selections. He shared the origins and details of the wine, explained all the flavors, was transparent about what was and was not worth the price. His pride in Sicily, its culture, food and wine is palpable. One of our favorite spots in the very beautiful but crowded city.

Acro Rosso is a small cozy family bistro/wine bar. The interior decoration is tasteful and charming. We had four meals at this place during our five day stay in Taormina. That just speaks how much we love this place. The bruschetta and panini are very good. Even our fussy preschoolers ate a lot here, lol. My favourite bruschetta is the one with pistachio, it is soooo tasty and Sicilian pistachio is just beyond amazing, and the other one is called “spicy” with spicy salami. They are super generous with ingredients and the price is very reasonable in the inflated Taormina. I recommend that you take 1 piece of 3 different flavours when ordering bruschetta. The staff, I guess is son and father are a bit shy but very friendly. The first time we were there, it was just the son, the playlist was classic rock. Next day, there was only the father, the playlist was some classic Italian or Sicilian folk music. The third time, both son and father were present, so it was a mixed playlist. I think that is just so cute ☺️

Isola Bella is a lively beachside bar with delicious food and polite service. It's perfect for a quick drink or bite to eat, and it's close to Taormina centre so you can easily explore the city.
Everything was delicious and fresh! I had the Insalata Mazzaró and pizza — both were amazing. The place has a great atmosphere and beautiful decor. I’ll definitely come back. Caffè Isola Bella is a fantastic spot!

We had a great meal here! We stopped by before heading down to the beach. The chicken burger was so simple yet so tasty - it definitely hit the spot for me, it was also very fresh and the bread was soft and warm which I loved. We also ordered the pepperoni pizza which was very delicious cooked to perfection. We then ordered a second burger because it tasted so good!! Beer and Aperol spritz were great. The staff were very helpful and friendly, and helped provide some recommendations as well which we appreciated very much. We will definitely be back, thank you so much!

Wine bar Circe enofood e lounge is a new addition to Taormina, offering Italian cuisine with a Sicilian twist in a contemporary setting. The menu features an array of options including meat and cheese boards, bruschette, salads, and steak. Guests can also enjoy the deli next door for additional culinary delights. The establishment is praised for its sophisticated and modern cocktail bar that specializes in charcuterie boards.
Fastastic! The inventive drink and food menus are a breathe of fresh air. It was hard to choose from the various meat and cheese boards but we love our Sicilian DOP selection. The drink menu was equally appealing and the signature drink of “Smoking Basil Pipe” was a satisfying mixture of gin and lemon and basil juice smoked with apple wood for a rich flavor with a smoky finish. Fabulous service and vibrant atmosphere.

Super sophisticated and modern cocktail and bar specialising in charcuterie boards. We enjoyed the Sicilian doc salumi and cheese platter served on a double decker stand, There was a lot of cured meat, cheese, olives and condiments on this board and we struggled to finish it all. Oh, and they supplied grissini and bread too. Tried the sicilian red wine and a prickly pear cocktail and finished with some local digestivi. We particularly enjoyed that orange flavored amaro. Outstanding professional and knowledgeable service from the staff and impressed with the barman's cocktail making skills. Inviting display of cured meat and cheese at the front of the shop with tables outdoor on the terrace or inside. Next time we will try the wine tasting option. You must try this place if you are in Taormina.

I had a great time at this cocktail bar! The vibe was just right cozy, classy, and full of good energy. What made it even better was the service. I wasn’t in the mood for alcohol that night, and the bartender, Marioz, absolutely nailed it. He crafted a refreshing non-alcoholic drink that was full of flavor and flair didn’t feel like I was missing out at all. Huge shoutout to Marioz for being so attentive and making the whole experience memorable. If you’re ever there, definitely ask for him. Whether you're going boozy or booze-free, he’s got you covered. 🍹✨

Under the indifferent glow of a Taormina moon, I found myself drawn to Chapeau! like a moth to a flickering neon sign – a sign that promised a different kind of darkness than the one I usually chased. The air hung thick with the scent of jasmine and something else, something… mysterious. The kind of place where shadows stretch long and secrets whisper in the clink of ice. I’d seen my share of dames and dives, but Chapeau! had an angle. It wasn't just a bar; it was a scene, lit by an unseen director, each glass a prop in a drama only I seemed to be watching. The man behind the stick, he moved like a phantom, quick and knowing, a silent artist mixing liquid dreams. I'd sampled a few, chasing a ghost of a feeling. But a few, they… they held up. They stuck in the craw. First, there was The We Are. A name that hung in the air like a question mark. It hit me smooth and then a sharp, unexpected kick, like a dame with a hidden stiletto. There was something about it, a bittersweet tang that spoke of promises made and broken, of chances taken in the dark. It was the kind of drink that made you wonder who "we" were, and if "we" would ever find our way out of the fog. Then came the Alcupolco. This one, it was a siren's call. Sweet, exotic, promising escape to a place where the sun always shone and the troubles melted away like ice in a warm glass. But underneath that sugary facade, there was a quiet strength, a current that could pull you under if you weren't careful. It was the kind of drink that could make a man forget his name, even if just for a fleeting moment. The Banana Royal followed, a velvet glove over an iron fist. Luxurious, smooth, a taste of forbidden fruit. It slithered down, leaving a warmth that spread through the veins, a deceptive comfort that masked a potent punch. It was the kind of drink a man might order when he's trying to forget a dame, or when he’s just about to make a very bad decision. And finally, the Mary Pickford. She was the surprise, the one that lingered. Bright, clean, with a subtle complexity that hinted at hidden depths. She was the innocent face in a world of shadows, but with a backbone of pure, unyielding spirit. It was the kind of drink that made you think there might be some good left in the world, even as you watched it all go to hell in a handbasket. I drained the last of the Pickford, the ice clinking a lonely farewell. Chapeau! It wasn't just a bar; it was a confessional, a stage for a silent play, a place where the drinks told a story, and the shadows knew more than they let on. As I stepped back into the Taormina night, the taste of mystery still on my tongue, I knew I’d be back. Some mysteries, you just can’t walk away from. Not until you’ve found the last, bitter drop.

Truly a beautiful experience The food was amazing especially the pasta a la Norma and white fish tartare Service was top notch sweet and effective Booking this restaurant grants you a pass to the hotel so you can roam around and enjoy the beautiful garden and poolside Only thing was the music it was loud pop music which was a bit odd other than that we loved it !

If you would like to visit the hotel that is in season 2 of white lotus then I would recommend booking a dinner at this beautiful restaurant. A booking to the restaurant gets you entry into the hotel where you can wonder around and explore this beautiful hotel which used to be a monastery before. Once you walk in you are greeted and served by the most friendly and caring staff I have ever dealt with. They truly want to make sure you are enjoying yourself and having a good time. As for the restaurant we got there for a 9:30 reservation after walking through the beautiful gardens and past the pool that stars heavily in the show. We were first seated away from the beautiful view but upon asking managed to get a table for 2 right along the glass railing overlooking the bay. We didn’t have any fish but the pasta and the Sicilian pasta were delicious. Their pizzas are also worth trying. My favorite part of the meal however was the dessert and the deconstructed mango passion fruit cheese cake that we had. I will definitely be returning again soon, hopefully as a guest of the hotel the next time.
Serge C — Google review
You are definitely paying mainly for the opportunity to experience this beautiful hotel. The food was nice but not outstanding (except the bread). My main concern was that when we asked for the bill we told we hadn’t spent enough and that there was a minimum 80 Euro charge per head. While it would be easy to spend that much, given the prices, we were there for lunch with our kids & didn’t have wine as we had a trip planned later in the day. We also didn’t fancy dessert as the pizzas we had were pretty filling. They said that the minimum charge would have been shown when booking but I definitely don’t remember seeing this (I rechecked the booking page on Four Seasons and nothing is shown before you click ‘confirm reservation’ to enter your credit card details; similarly there was nothing in the confirmation email from Open Table, which does include other conditions like the cancellation policy and 50 Euro charge per head for a no show). When I raised a concern the staff did agree to waive the minimum but the whole experience left a sour taste.

We were staying at the San Dominico Palace and therefore decided to try their flagship restaurant on our final evening. Unfortunately, it was very disappointing, being to one star Michelin restaurant, we did have certain expectations . First of all, I was surprised at we had to choose exact same courses for our degustation menu (not just the number of courses) The signature etna pasta was starchy and should be replaced….. the black crumbs resembling volcano ashes and 5 kinds of tomato sauce was not very enticing…. What happened to the great seafood that you have around you? Main course… piglet, was a cube of fatty pork, probably slow cooked with soggy and sticky skin and all the fat remaining in place so the course was actually…. Not very edible. Deep fry the skin? Oven roast the pork to get the fat reduced? Cheese was great and so was the wine. Overall I expected much more being a one starred Michelin restaurant. To be honest, the weakest link of the stay to such a great hotel in Taormina….

Vicolo Stretto is a unique restaurant located at the end of a narrow and steep passageway, offering an intimate atmosphere and a terrace with stunning views across the bay. The eponymous alley, less than a meter wide, can be found along Corso Umberto in Taormina and is often crowded with tourists striking amusing poses. Despite its narrowness, it's considered picturesque and worth visiting.
The narrowest street in Italy is a must-see! It’s a fun and quirky spot, perfect for taking some interesting photos. It’s easy to locate, and walking down the street is a cool experience, especially if you visit early before the crowds arrive. A fun addition to your trip!

We didn’t think in Sicily there could be such a thing as a “bad granita,” so we didn’t look for another place and chose this spot before leaving Taormina since it was close to our car. Unfortunately, what they served was not granita at all—it was more like ice cream (especially the pistachio). The coffee wasn’t very good either. When we asked the owner if this was really granita, his answer was: “I like it this way and everyone buys it.” That gave us the impression that he doesn’t care what he serves as long as it sells, assuming tourists don’t know what real granita is. Well, it’s your choice whether to try it or not, but we wouldn’t recommend it.

Wonderful hidden rooftop bar on 6th floor of hotel. Amazing views to Etna. Superb cocktails and aperitivos from friendly staff. Fairly empty when we were there but deserves to be buzzing

This bar is absolutely beautiful with the perfect scenic views looking over Taormina and the sea! Drink wore delicious, the man serving us is a true gentleman and a credit to the bar, he was so attentive and made us feel so welcome. Highly recommend this roof top bar

Best place in Taormina for drinks. The old man behind the bar provided the best service and we came back the next night because he made the great cocktails and the view is just unbeatable. Good light music playing, It feels like a more private exclusive experience compared to other wine bars along the busy streets that get crowded. Would recommend.

Stunning views, lovely drinks and fab service. Couldn’t really comment on food as only had nibbles with our drinks but they were nice. A hidden gem.. 6th floor, lift on left when entering. A must 😊

Hidden gem, off the main strip and so happy I came across this place. The staff was so nice and went out of his way to make us feel welcome, we were greeted with delicious picking snacks with our drinks too. Beautiful views!

Breathtaking views of Mt. Etna and the shoreline, a short walk from the bustling center of Taormina. Don't miss one of the best rooftops in the city.

The hidden gem of Taormina! A beautiful view accompanied by fantastic cocktails and excellent service. Cannot recommend enough if you want a more peaceful drink than at street level.

Beautiful hidden gem, just enter the hotel take the elevator to the 6th floor and be amazed by their views. Don't worry about the cocktails being a little bit more pricey, because a plate of snacks is included. And you get these amazing views for free.

Great little place to enjoy the sunset with an awesome view of Mount Etna, funky vibe and away from all the tourists in the town. The lady that served us was very nice. The price was fair, we got a couple of spritz and they were cheaper than what we paid in the CBD keeping in mind this is a touristy town.

Very nice view, but extremely high prices for bad coffee from a pad machine, espresso not ground freshly. Good service thought. Funny is a toilet which has no door but only curtains.

Just what I needed after I climbed the stairs from Taormina.

What a wonderful place to relax and have a short rest with some cold beer (or in our case Ginger bear), served with a wide welcoming smile by the friendly hostess with whom we even shared a kiss on parting.

€12 euro for an aperol when the restaurants in the town centre were half of that and had better views

if you come here please stop by to see FINA. her and her staff are just as incredible as the view. the vibe is on 1000000. couldnt ask for a better place at the top of the madonna rocca.

amazing view and very friendly service. found the place randomly, but definitely worth a quick drink stop.

The actual bar is called Chiosco della Rocca, just in front of the pizza restaurant. Straight forward bar with seating and tables overlooking the West of Taormina. Great spot and great service, nice break from the crowded streets of Taormina
