Great location and views. Did the wine tasting and food paring. All delish! Bought 12 bottles to ship home. Emanuel gave us a tour of the wine making facilities and was very knowledgeable and attentive. You can tell they enjoy working there and they are like a family.

We had a wonderful day at the winery. The wine tasting with food pairing was both delicious and very interesting, and our sommelier was extremely knowledgeable. The staff and management were all super friendly and welcoming, which made the experience even more enjoyable. The winery itself is absolutely beautiful, we were lucky to visit when everything was lush and green, with the vines full of grapes. Truly an unforgettable experience!

Perfect wine, stunning views. We did the 7 wine tasting with a light lunch. The food was incredible, the wine was perfect, the olive oil was delicious. Staff was fun and friendly! Definitely worth a visit!

An amazing experience in wine tasting on mount Etna, enjoying breath-taking views. We went for the 7 wines degustation/pairing menu - simply delicious wine and food! The whole process was very well organised including a tour in the wine cellar. The staff were very friendly and knowledgeable. A must visit while in Sicily! Worth every penny! Well done to all the Gambino staff!

Really great experience. Good quality wines combined with typical food in a very relaxed and beautiful place. Staff was super friendly and open to all the questions. I loved this concept of a tasting, because there’s more time for you and your wine buddy to enjoy together.

Perched on the north slopes of Mount Etna at about 2,700 feet, Gambino Winery is the perfect blend of volcanic terroir, warm hospitality, and great food and wine. We visited after a morning exploring Etna’s lava fields and craters. We were greeted with glasses of Feud’o Sicilia Bianco, crisp, mineral, and refreshing, the ideal palate-opener as our host explained the unique growing conditions: breezes that keep the vines naturally healthy, volcanic soils full of minerality, and high elevations that lock in acidity. We listened and stood among the vines with the mountain looming above. Lunch was served in a glass-walled terrace with clouds drifting past. We had a spread of local cheeses and salumi, roasted eggplant, olives, and sun-dried tomatoes with olive oil and crusty bread, followed by a bright gazpacho and handmade pork sausage. Each course was paired with wines that showed just how expressive Etna can be: * Tifeo Etna Bianco – crisp citrus and saline minerality. * Tifeo Etna Rosato – strawberry and herbs with refreshing acidity. * Duvanera Sicilia Rosso (Nero d’Avola) – ripe plum, spice, and velvety tannins. * Alicant Sicilia Rosso (Nerello Mascalese) – elegant, high-altitude red with cherry, smoke, herbs, and volcanic flint. My personal favorite. The wines flowed generously, and the hospitality felt like family. One of the owners dropped by to say hello. Strongly recommended if you’re anywhere near Taormina or Etna.

An exceptional winery experience in Sicily! The wine tasting was truly outstanding, offering a delightful array of flavors. The accompanying olive oils, sun-dried tomatoes, olives, and cheeses were absolutely flavorful and complemented the wines perfectly. I’m thrilled to have visited this remarkable winery in Italy and to have savored such memorable tastes!

I went here for a wine tasting of the Etna Wines and had an amazing time. The history of the winery and the customer service was exceptional. The six wines I tasted we're all crisp and fresh and very unique to the mountain. I'd love to go again!

Very lovely place. The owners are very welcoming and the tour is very interesting and informative. The price is very reasonable as well.

We drove there without having booked anything and had an awesome wine tasting. Our host was extremely nice and explained the wine making process in great detail. He made sure we felt very welcome. The wines were all very good (and not very expensive) and they have several vineyards around Sicily and he explained the differences in climate etc.. Also he phoned up a restaurant for us and booked us a table. I recommend this place :)

Eugenio was our host. I have been on a couple of vineyard tours before and love learning about wine making. The passion Eugenio and the family has for making quality wines is wonderful to see. The wines are modem, great flavour and we really enjoyed learning about the wines and the people that make them.

We had a great experiece. It is a quiet and romantic winery, near the orgaic vineyards. We got a tour between the grapevines, a welcoming hosting and great wine. We will be back there one day for sure! Lovely family.

Did a full tour of the winery and it was just fantastic. A really authentic experience. The wine is absolutely beautiful and not in the least bit expensive (if you wish to buy a few bottles for yourself). This is family owned and run by a group of people who really know their stuff. The wine tasting itself was complemented with fresh bread doused in extra virgin olive oil, also made by the family. Would highly recommend if you wish to evade the more touristy wine tasting in the region! I'm currently sitting on a balcony sipping some of Vi Vera's 'A'mami' so perhaps my positive judgement has been enhanced! Find out for yourself!

We had a perfect visit at Vivera Winery, we had a warm welcoming and a delicious wine tastening. Eugenio was a good host that was 100% serviceminde and made us feel like home. We recommend everyone to go visit this Winery it is an experience on its own. ⭐

It's an absolutely wonderful winery, and I highly recommend visiting it if you come to Etna. I booked a winery tour. They explained everything in detail, from the vineyards to the winemaking process, and answered all my detailed questions. Afterwards, we had a meal and wine tasting. The wine was delicate, with a long finish and complexity, and it was on a grand scale. The food was also delicious, and being able to eat local ingredients was a rare experience you can't get in tourist areas. And above all, their hospitality was fantastic. They welcomed me warmly, like family, and I felt very comfortable. I don't usually try to go to the same places twice when I travel, but if I return to Etna, I will definitely visit their winery again.

We had a wonderful time visiting this family run winery. Vineyard is not on premise however, the family is happy to open their home and host you for a tasting of their wine, which is truly a passion project of the family patriarch. Silvia, their daughter will be happy to lead you through an English-speaking tasting and tour of the truly home grown winery. We were greeted with bread and family made olive oil. The tasting was very affordable and the wine was lovely. We were able to book via WhatsApp and they ship to US if you’re interested.

The most special and good white wine i tasted and the red wine was amazing to. The experiance om the tasting was very personal and the price was really good ❤️Best wineyard we visited!

A beautiful family making beautiful wine! We showed up on a rainy day and they welcomed us in and taught us so much about Etna wine. So kind and friendly and delicious organic small production wines. You must try the wine and take home some bottles!!!

This was a very wholesome experience. Don’t be fooled by the home frontage. Walk down the stairs and say hello to whom ever is at the desk. The older gentleman openly said he didn’t understand English and we waited for the son to come and have a chat. It ended up being an awesome experience with other people popping in for the same reason. The family is heavily involved in their brand even though it’s a hobby project. Great work!

Really nice winery in Linguaglossa. We were very welcomed and got to try multiple special DOC Etna wines from their small production. Definitely worth a visit!

Wonderful experience! Good wine good history good people.

Great wine and the kindest people in Sicily, the Vinyard is from 1875.

Great food. The owner made it especially for the guests. Fair prices and great service

Nice place, waitress tried to explain all in english, very pleasant. Good food and wine. And very tasty ice creams, better taste than in famous cities of Sicily. We had a good meal there.

Our host recommended this place, so we got some chicken and fries and potatoes to go. The service was excellent, communication in English was also not a problem. Food was great, crispy fries and a great tasting chicken. Would definitely recommend to others.

Everything that we tried in this traditional deli was very tasty. Hope to find more vegan options next time, i.e. olive oil instead of butter, nuts and legumes instead of creams and cheeses and vegan Arancini. Definitely recommended.

Really good food - for adults as well as children. Best spaghetti by far / service so nice and personal - food earnest and really good. All our recommendations for this lovely little spot in Linguaglossa. And to add - very cheap !

Great food and lovely owner

Very delicious food: pasta, rotised chicken, salad, potatoes and the dessert - cannoli. Best service for very good price! I highly recommend this place to eat in Linguaglossa. Buon appetito ;)

READ THIS POST IF YOU ARE CONSIDERING AN INTERNATIONAL WEDDING! Me and my husband are from the United States and decided to have a wedding in Sicily. My mom was born in Sicily and I have spent much time there over my childhood. There has been so much turmoil with this venue. We looked at the venue and fell in love with the place and thought Martina was extremely professional. We were confident in bringing about 30 guests from the United States to celebrate our wedding here. Many of the complaints and issues stemmed from Martina's mother who tried to scam us multiple times and was incredibly unpleasant to be around. Firstly, we reserved a set amount of rooms only to be told by Martina's mother that she gave away our rooms that we booked for our wedding to another party. She insisted we find different accommodations for our guests despite already letting our guests know they would be able to stay at Borgata Baldazza for the week of the wedding. After an argument that resulted in a screaming match, she gave us back the rooms we originally were promised. Secondly, we had agreed on having lunch and dinner for our guests at the venue as many people do not speak Italian and would not have transportation. We were under impression their restaurant was open and operating to the public. What we did not know was that they did not hire full-time kitchen staff to operate their restaurant. We were served the most disgusting lunch I have ever had the displeasure being served. We were served someone's leftover pork and peppers from another wedding, an inedible salad, and a sandwich made of wonder bread and one slice of ham. This sandwich was not fit for a dog to eat. Once we finished eating, we went to discuss this meal with Martina's mom and she indicated the price per person was 20 euros. We immediately told her this would not be acceptable. That we would pay for this meal and would only have dinner there the rest of the days we had scheduled. She was angry that we would no longer have lunch there as we originally intended and AGAIN after another screaming argument, agreed we would not eat any further meals there other than breakfast (included). Thirdly, the first day we arrived they didn't inform us that having espresso by the pool was considered "pool side service" despite us cleaning up our own dishes, and they charged us for espresso. So the next day I informed the guests that they needed to have espresso in the restaurant before 10:30 so that it would be included. Well, then we were being charged for 3 euros for espresso in the mornings (in the restaurant before 10:30) because "only one espresso is included per person". We weren't informed of this until the moment when we ordered more espressos. This we found out, was the idea of the establishment to gauge more money out of us. Fourthly, as many people checked in their front desk person did not show to the rooms, how the locks worked on the doors, where the rooms were, how to work the AC unit, or that the rooms were even clean. Many of our guests found their rooms still dirty from previous guests and many of us ended up cleaning our OWN rooms. Of course, the rooms weren't clean because they only had one nice woman working there, who was responsible for making us breakfast and cleaning and changing the sheets/towels daily. On top of that we found Martina's mom SCREAMING at this poor woman that I am sure they don't even pay enough to basically handle their entire establishment. How PATHETIC of BORGATA BALDAZZA to treat this woman so poorly when they leave her an INSURMOUNTABLE amount of work. Can you say slave labor? Lastly, wifi sucked. The only good part of our wedding week and our stay was that Martina did a really good job with our wedding day. We loved the decor, food, and she corresponded with all the vendors. She did her job and did it well.

Great

(Translated by Google) Beautiful place. The rooms are nice and a good size, and there's parking on site. Excellent service, very friendly staff. I ate very well. (Original) Bellissimo posto. Le camere sono belle e di giuste dimensioni e si parcheggia dentro la struttura. Ottimo servizio, personale molto cordiale. Ho mangiato benissimo.

(Translated by Google) I stayed at this property with my children. The hamlet is surrounded by greenery and has a well-equipped swimming pool, although I didn't see a lifeguard. The place is large and well-maintained, but the staff, while friendly and helpful, seemed inexperienced. I expected a breakfast with traditional products, easily found on site, but while there was a good selection, the quality was poor. (Original) Sono stato in questo struttura con i bambini. La borgata è immersa nel verde ed ha una piscina attrezza, anche se non ho visto il bagnino. Il posto è grande e tenuto bene, ma il personale nonostante risulti gentile e disponibile, sembra poco esperto. Mi aspettavo una colazione con prodotti tipici, facilmente reperibili sul posto, ma pur essendoci una buona scelta, era di scarsa qualità.

(Translated by Google) We chose Borgata Baldazza for our wedding reception and had a wonderful time. The space, decor, food, and service were excellent—impeccable, in fact. We received compliments and compliments from our guests, which filled us with joy and satisfaction. In short, they were a tangible example of passion and dedication, but above all, love for what they do. Highly recommended! (Original) Abbiamo scelto Borgata Baldazza per la nostra festa di nozze e ci siamo trovati benissimo. Spazi, allestimenti, cibo e servizio sono stati ottimi, anzi impeccabili. Abbiamo ricevuto dia nostri ospiti complimenti e apprezzamenti, cosa che ci ha riempito di gioia e soddisfazione. Insomma, sono stati un esempio concreto di passione e dedizione, ma soprattutto di amore per quello che si fa. Super consigliato!

Martina and her mother are truly special, professional, and truly knowledgeable! But Martina truly won our hearts ❤️. She helped us make our dream come true, down to the smallest details, offering us advice! The wedding day was unforgettable, from the civil ceremony in the olive grove to the dinner in the woods. The food was excellent, with meticulous attention to detail to create something unforgettable. The guests were incredibly happy, especially with the helpful staff and the top-notch rooms! I highly recommend it, and we won't forget this wonderful place!

Nice little restaurant with good service and ambience. Ordered ricotta and spinach ravioloni and Carbonara with artichokes. The ravioloni were very nice, however the Carbonara was a joke. I specifically asked the waiter if the pasta was prepared with the classic recipe with just added artichoke and he confirmed. What was delivered was pasta with artichoke and some soft undercooked guanciale. There was no sign of pecorino Romano, egg or black pepper. There was no creaminess and the taste was nothing like a carbonara. After a few bites I complained and the pasta was returned to the kitchen, where they fixed it instead of throwing it away and making another one (last picture). When you are charging 16-20eur for pasta, if it fails you make another one, you don't return it to the frying pan to finish it.

We had such a good time here, we ended up going twice during our stay in Linguaglossa. Great ambiance, service, and most importantly—delicious food! Highly recommend.

Rosario is a great host, very professional and kind. His food is genuine and special, you can find traditional sicilian dishes and the atmosphere is lovely. My friends and I were really happy we have chosen this restaurant. I would recommend it with no hesitation.

Amazing! Really good quality food and fantastic service. We had a lunch reservation that we showed up early for. They seated us right away. They showed us the other room full of their wine selection, and they helped us pick out a wine. The food was great, service outstanding, and the decor looks nice. Can't wait to go back.

After almost a week in Sicily, Ristorante Boccaperta SC. has truly been the standout dining experience of our trip. From the outside, it may look unassuming, but once inside, it reveals itself as an absolute gem. The food is everything you hope for in Sicilian cuisine—simple, fresh, healthy, and bursting with flavor. The local olive oil alone deserves a mention, adding depth to every bite. We paired our meal with a wine from the Etna region, which was crisp, refreshing, and perfectly matched to the dishes, which was local vegetables and pasta dishes. Healthy, not overly decadent. Just right. Service was warm and attentive without being overbearing, making the evening not just a meal but a wonderful memory. If you’re in search of authentic Sicilian cooking at its best, this place is a must-visit.

We had a lovely dinner at this restaurant! Great ambiance, kind service, and delicious food. Would highly recommend if you’re in the area.

We passed here for lunch rather by coincidence, and really enjoyed the food, the wine and the atmosphere very much. The doors was very refined and the wine list is impressive. Definitely with a detour.
