Hands down the best meal we had in Taormina! The dishes are all crafted to perfection so you get a well balanced dish. Truly a taste sensation.
Our servers were so attentive and welcoming which was so appreciated. 10/10 must visit!
Ristorante Pirandello 2.0
A great spot for brunch in Taormina! We had Granita and a breakfast plate which were both really delicious. This spot is super busy so best to get here early.
CAFFÈ FORASTIERO, Taormina - 2025 Reviews & Information
It’d be hard not to give this place a mention. The food was tasty and the vibe was spot on! Only gripe was a the service was slow and we were served our food at different times so we were having to ask where the rest of the tables food was. Get there...
OSTERIA DA RITA DAL 1991, Taormina - 2025 Reviews & Information
A good quick eat! The pizza is really tasty, and the service is quick.
I wouldn’t say the ambiance is spot on though so not the place to stay all night, great to have a quick bite.
Villa Zuccaro Pizzeria Taormina
Absolutely stunning location! This is the most picturesque restaurant I’ve ever been to. We had lunch which was delicious, the pasta was phenomenal. Service was incredible and it just felt like a really special occasion.
Ristorante Le Grand Bleu
A lovely picturesque restaurant!
While you pay a bit more for the location, it was totally worth it. We shared a pizza and a pasta dish which were both phenomenal!
Bell'Assai
Snacks
Absolutely delicious! These sandwiches are a must in Taormina. We shared one between two of us which was definitely enough for a lunch or snack.
LA FOCACCIA TAORMINA - Restaurant Reviews & Photos
The best Cannolo in all of Taormina! It was such a great lil cafe, a lovely spot to people watch with an Aperol too.
Bar Pasticceria Etna dal 1963
Bars
A super popular bar! We snagged a table twice here and it is definitely one not to miss. The cocktail list is extensive and well put together, each cocktail we had was delicious. The vibe is great too!
Daiquiri
This little drinks kiosk is very unassuming, but such a lil gem. We often walked between the town and beach and would ALWAYS stop at this kiosk for an aperol.
La Vista è Bella chiosco drinks&dreams · Taormina, Metropolitan City of Messina
Perfect little roof top bar with panoramic views. We discovered this bar too late in our trip to enjoy it more than once but it is so quiet and lovely, it’s great to escape from the busy streets.
Hotel Villa Paradiso Taormina
Great lil wine bar to stop off at after dinner. The staff are super attentive with a great wine selection.
Al Grappolo d’Uva
