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.

(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.

Insomma, sono stati un esempio concreto di passione e dedizione, ma soprattutto di amore per quello che si fa. Super consigliato!

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.

Peaceful and unforgettable hike through volcanic craters with stunning Mt. Etna views We visited Monti Sartorius early in the morning and had an incredible experience. The drive there was scenic, with beautiful views and classic Sicilian countryside roads. Parking along the roadside was easy and convenient. We hiked about 2 miles along some of the more challenging trails (likely intermediate level), though there are plenty of paths to explore at all difficulty levels. The area is home to seven old volcanic craters, and while we only saw a couple during our visit, there was clearly much more to discover. The landscape was peaceful and full of life. We saw butterflies, wildflowers, and heard birds singing throughout the hike. The views of Mt. Etna were absolutely breathtaking, especially with the early morning light. This was one of those quiet, awe-inspiring experiences we’ll never forget. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a peaceful hike with unique scenery and volcanic history.

A nice place for trekking. I highly recommend to visit this. The walk up there is quite easy and you can experience an ex volcano. Around this there are many nice trekking areas. Moreover if you come in winter the views are breathtaking. I also recommend a trip on a moonlit night. There are some guides who organize trips like those. Don't forget to take a small piece of volcanic rock as your souvenir.

Some nice easy hikes that the whole family can manage, and you can easily get to some great viewpoints. Watch out if taking food as there are stray dogs that wouldn't stop pestering us when we took a picnic. We visited again without food and had no hassle.

Lovely hike passing through several craters. It's mostly under the sun so can be a bit too hot if done around lunch time. It's free to walk around, simple to get your way and have some restaurants close buy to stop after the walk.

Easy hike that takes you by the white birches over to the button craters. It might get a bit windy at the craters so be sure to carry jackets. The forests look amazing in eary winter with golden leaves, the white bark and black lava soil. Be sure to catch a glimpse of the non-volcanic mountains of Taormina from the top of the craters. You could also explore some lava caves on the way to Monti Sartorius.

Incredible views, a great area to hike and there are options with more altitude differences and lower paths and trails. Easy to navigate, a must see 1-2 hour walk for hiking enthusiasts and people who enjoy the view.

Beautiful. We were lucky to have a clear sunny day during our trek. Very picturesque!

Course starts gently and gets tougher and more hilly. A buggy recommended for the less fit. Has a good mixture of fairly easyish holes and interesting but harder ones. Will be great once they sort out all of the bunkers and some of the tees.

Good golf club

love this place

(Translated by Google) We recently visited La Ghiandaia restaurant at Hotel Il Picciolo dell'Etna, and I must say it was a truly delightful experience. The atmosphere is welcoming and meticulously maintained, and you're greeted by the very kind and professional staff. The menu is sophisticated, featuring the freshest, finest ingredients. I tried the melt-in-your-mouth lamb ribs, and a pasta dish filled with veal and mushrooms with cream cheese that was an explosion of flavors. The desserts were simply delicious. Special mention to the chefs, who made our experience truly unique. (Original) Siamo stati al ristorante La Ghiandaia del Hotel Il Picciolo dell' Etna recentemente, e devo dire che è stata un' esperienza molto piacevole.

Ho assaggiato le costine d'agnello che si scioglievano in bocca, una pasta ripiena di vitello e funghi con crema di formaggio che era un esplosione di sapori. I dolci semplicemente deliziosi. Una menzione particolare agli Chef che ci hanno fatto provare un esperienza unica.

Incredible

(Translated by Google) Salvatore Incorpora is a great artist who is mostly little known. The works highlight his great personality with a strong expression of humanity (large feet and hands that recall the past of his imprisonment in German concentration camps during the Second World War). It is really worth visiting the museum which is very well looked after. Very welcoming staff. Free entry. (Original) Salvatore Incorpora è un grande artista per i più poco conosciuto. Nelle opere viene evidenziata la grande personalità con una forte espressione di umanità (piedi e mani grandi che ricordano il passato della sua prigionia in campi di concentramento tedeschi durante la seconda guerra mondiale). Vale veramente la pena visitare il museo che è molto curato. Personale molto accogliente. Ingresso gratuito.

(Translated by Google) A small museum but it is very interesting! The first thing I want to say is that the visit is free and even the very kind lady who works here gave me an excursion with all the explanations I liked the museum a lot (Original) Un museo piccolo ma è molto interessante! La prima cosa che voglio dire è che la visita è gratis e anche la gentilissima signora che lavora qua mi ha fatto escursione con tutte le spiegazioni Il museo mi è piaciuto tanto

(Translated by Google) Museum with great attention to detail, free and hosts, in addition to the beautiful permanent exhibition of Incorpora, other artists in various periods! Messina and in recent months Guccione! (Original) Museo molto curato nei dettagli,gratuito e ospita oltre alla bellissima mostra permanente di Incorpora in diversi periodi altri artisti ! Messina e in questi mesi Guccione!

(Translated by Google) Very interesting visit. When I went to the Guccione exhibition, I discovered Salvatore Incardona, the artist whose permanent collection the museum houses. Well-kept and well-appointed museum, with adequate lighting for the placement of the works. The information provided by the guide who independently accompanied us along the route was valuable and interesting. I really recommend it, to enrich a day dedicated to discovering the slopes of Etna. (Original) Visita molto interessante. Andata per la mostra di Guccione, ho scoperto Salvatore Incardona, l'artista di cui il museo accoglie la collezione permanente. Museo curato e ben allestito, con una illuminazione adeguata alla collocazione delle opere. Preziose e interessanti le informazioni fornite dalla guida che autonomamente ci ha accompagnati durante il percorso. Lo consiglio davvero, per arricchire una giornata dedicata alla scoperta delle pendici dell'Etna.

(Translated by Google) There was no museum dedicated to "his" son on Etna. The Master Incorporates. Great person and character. For an exhibition curated by Vittorio Sgarbi, also a son of the "artistic" territory, it is also a point of reference for the wonderful exhibition with Maestro Guttuso. (Original) Mancava sull'Etna un Museo dedicato ad un "Suo" figlio. Il Maestro Incorpora. Grande persona e Personaggio. Per una mostra curata da Vittorio Sgarbi altreattando figlio del terrrtorio "artistico" è un punto di riferimento anche per la meravigliosa mostra con il Maestro Guttuso.

(Translated by Google) The museum is very beautiful and worth a visit. It contains works by two great artists Messina and Incorpora, it is well maintained and visits are assisted by kind and expert people. However, my opinion may be biased as I have known both dead artists for a few years. The village of Linguaglossa is a serene and very pleasant place of the spirit. (Original) Il museo è molto bello e merita una visita. Contiene opere di due grandi artisti Messina e Incorpora, é ben tenuto e le visite sono assistite da persone gentili ed esperte. Tuttavia il mio giudizio potrebbe essere di parte in quanto ho conosciuto ambedue gli artisti morti da un po' di anni. Il borgo di Linguaglossa è un luogo dello spirito sereno e molto gradevole.

(Translated by Google) Interesting museum. You can immerse yourself in the atmosphere of old Sicily. See, for example, a real wine press and other objects of everyday life and life of past years. In addition, the museum displays exhibits of the flora and fauna of the Etna volcano, many objects of decorative and applied art, and very, very friendly staff! We liked it. I recommend 💓 (Original) Интересный музей. Можно погрузиться в атмосферу старой Сицилии. Увидеть , например настоящую винодавильню и другие предмета быта и жизни прошлых лет.

(Translated by Google) We had lost a cell phone in the snow of Etna. Found by chance, one of the volcano guides took it first to the nearby refuge and then to storage at the Pro Loco, where we went to retrieve it a few days later. The managers of the facility and the girls at the desk are very kind. Thank you so much. (Original) Avevamo perso un telefono cellulare sulla neve dell'Etna. Casualmente ritrovato, tramite una delle guide del vulcano è stato portato prima al vicino rifugio e poi in deposito alla Pro Loco, dove siamo andati a recuperarlo qualche giorno dopo. Gentilissimi i responsabili della struttura e le ragazze al desk. Grazie infinite.

In July 2024, we celebrated my husband’s birthday at In Cucina Dai Pennisi for lunch, a spot recommended by a nearby vineyard. The food and ambiance were delightful, and we thoroughly enjoyed our meal. However, we were deeply disappointed by the lack of transparency regarding the wine recommendations. We started with a local wine, Rosso Del Conte, which was suggested by the waitress and priced around 80 euros. After finishing the first bottle, which we enjoyed, my husband asked for another recommendation in a similar price range. The waitress enthusiastically suggested a local wine called Magma, highlighting that it was the last bottle in stock and insisting it was excellent. Trusting her, we assumed it would be comparable in price. To our shock, when the bill arrived, we discovered that the second bottle cost an astounding 700 euros, a detail that was never mentioned to us beforehand. This lack of transparency completely soured an otherwise pleasant dining experience. A word of caution: when ordering wine here, ensure you confirm the price. In our case, the significant price disparity was only revealed after the fact, leaving us feeling misled. Clear communication is vital, and sadly, this experience left us questioning the service.

We had lunch here and it was really great. Their kitchen is incredible and we had returned to taste the salumi and cheese and also the pannini which was excellent !!! The staff is very friendly and kind. We highly recommend it !!

I would rate the food 2 stars. It’s acceptable, but I have to deduct one star due to the high price, which doesn’t match the quality or service. The BBQ pork ribs had a decent taste, but nothing special—comparable to pre-marinated ribs you can buy at a grocery store in Norway. For €20, you only get the ribs, and you have to order sides like potatoes or salads separately, or you’ll end up with just ribs on your plate, which felt disappointing. The mixed grill was quite bland and lacked flavor, with the lamb having an overpowering gamey taste. I really don’t understand how this restaurant has received such high reviews. In the end, it’s just a butcher shop.

Food quality and selection of dry aged meat is great. One can also choose meat from the counter of the butcher. However the staff was kind of lurking around and the level of kindness differed between the waiters. Nevertheless, excellent food and wine selection.

Set at the base of Mt Etna this butcher shop and restaurant is worth a trip up from the shore. Famed for their meats this town doesn’t fall short of the expectation with a mind blowing offering of local wines. The fresh grilled taste of all the dishes was delicious, amazing service, excellent standard of sanitization post covid. Need to go back for the burger. Could easily eat 1130AM yo close. Bought some pancetta and local olive oils to take home. Don’t miss this one.

Dai Pennisi was a recommendation from 2 different sources. We ordered 2 main courses (stuffed pork chop, curry beef), a salad, 2 mini canoli and a cheesecake al limone. The desert was absolutely amazing! The 4 stars come from the fact the meat was (main course) was a bit too cooked for my taste. If you look around, clearly the owner has great expectations, and there's still a way to go. All in all, a good choice in Linguaglossa.

The decor is beautiful with an ample selection of wines, regional cold meats and cheeses. Good quality food with the kitchen in full display. The mixed grill had excessive fat contents, combined with the assortment of cold meats and cheese (both shared) it felt too heavy and salty. Our vaccine certificates where scanned prior seating inside, but the table right next to us were first seated, asked if they had a certificate, but the certificate was never scanned.

This place is totally overrated. Way too expensive for what they are serving - I got dry pasta with bradcrumps - almost no sauce for 15€. I asked waiter for additional sauce, but she did not understand the English so she brought me a salt. The service was over all good but the taste is no worth of the money.

Overall a great spot for dinner in this town. The antipasti was delicious, our pasta and pistachio steak were also really good. We ordered house red which was okay and tried the pistachio tiramisu and the Catalina cream for dessert. both desserts were sub par. Service was great in the beginning the suddenly changed towards the end of the meal im not sure why. Overall had a pleasant experience and the dinner was delicious. Would recommend! Food 4. atmosphere 5. Service 4.

I honestly don't understand why other reviews are raving about this place. The service was awkward and mediocre. I wanted to order a wine, but got told quite rudely she'd take my order for a drink, after I ordered the food. The food was just tragic. Steak tartare was tasty, but the main was an insult to Italian food. The baked potatoes were old and reheated; some were stone cold, some were lucewarm. Some were raw, some were mushy. Really nasty. The "roasted lamb" were 3 small cuts of grilled lamb with bone. Nothing more. The pistachio-crusted steak was an unseasoned piece of meat without the crust. For €28,-!!! The wines were ok, but nothing out of the ordinary. No explanation about them either. For a WINE bar, you'd expect at least some passion about the wines. Don't spend your money here, there are tons of other places that actually have love and passion for their food.

This is what I love: a small, family restaurant with lovely food and nice wine. The food was authentic, the service heartfelt and it put such a smile on my face. And it included free Italian lessons! Will be coming back! I was visiting in the low season and had no trouble getting a table without a reservation, but in the high season making reservations might be necessary.

We had a fantastic dinner; good antipasti, delicious choice between some great pasta dishes and the tiramisu with pistachio is to die for. The hostess was super friendly and her brother suggested some good wines. I would definitely recommend and I hope to return here soon.

Stefy and her brother have a very nice restaurant with great personal service. The food is delicious and they recommend nice wines in combination with the meals. We came back three times during our stay in the Etna region.

Good food, welcoming Staffel, moderate prices. The only negative point was that we sat on plastic chairs and a plastic table (inside). Would come again.

The best, tastiest tuna I've ever had (so tender it melted in my mouth). Great grilled meat plate my hubby had. Seriously wonderful food. A bit pricey wine by glass, though. A perfect parmigiana of their own style. All in all 5 stars.

We had a truly delightful evening at Trattoria LinguaGrossa in the heart of Linguaglossa. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, with friendly staff and stylish, modern decor that still felt authentically Sicilian. The menu showcased local flavors beautifully—every dish was bursting with depth and character. We especially appreciated how the ingredients celebrated the region’s culinary traditions. Everything we tasted was absolutely delicious, and the prices were very reasonable for the quality. A wonderful spot to enjoy genuine Sicilian hospitality and cuisine. Highly recommended!

Delicious food at this little spot in Linguaglossa. You can sit outside in the square, great atmosphere, friendly staff and one of my favourite pasta’s of our trip in Sicily.

Great little place in the very centre of town next to the impressive baroque cathedral. Great and helpful service and quite friendly prices. Can recommend the rabbit as well as mixed meat dish. Good local Etna house wine as well as impressive Etna wine selection for something more fancy.

Been to this year's ago and it was great. Decided to give it another go and it hasn't changed. Still the best restaurant in the area. Well done!!

Decent pasta dishes and a great location on the square with some interesting wines from small producers on Sicily. Service average but nice atmosphere with some mellow music playing

Ridiculously small portion, the spaghettis alle cozze were so salty that I wouldn’t have eaten them if I was not so hungry after a day of hiking. Other people were more lucky with their food though…There are much better places in town.

Great pizza! Great staff! A big veriety of pizza, many flavours.

Very nice service and mostly very good pizza. The portions are quite large and they were very accommodating about giving us boxes to take home pizza. The choices of flavors are very interesting. We especially enjoyed the tre formaggio pizza (surprisingly great since it’s just 3 cheeses). The signature mundibeddo pizza was very good too. One of us found our pizza not as good, a bit too hard to cut.

Best pizza we have ever had anywhere!!!!

Fantastic pizza to eat in or takeaway. Favorites are the Etna and Rucola. Staff is super friendly and the prices are great.

Amazing thin crust pizza with fresh tasty ingredients. I showed the staff a picture of the pizza I wanted as I had no Italian and they were super friendly and helpful. Five star all round. We will be back

Amazing thin crusted pizza’s. The staff are super friendly and helpful! We went there 2 nights in a row for a takeaway and on both occasions we were extremely satisfied!

Superb thin crust pizza. Generous toppings and good value, €6.50 average price for large size. Served piping hot. Only 4 tables inside, mostly serves takeaway. No wine only beer or soft drinks. Highly recommend.
