This is truly a fabulous restaurant recommended by a local in Taormina. It was tucked away in a…read morecharming corner street only a few minutes walk from our hotel. It was a lovely night so we decided to sit outside. This turned out to be a smart decision because there were three local singers who were performing for the tables and they were really very very good. The tuna appetizer and the swordfish there was amazing. As were the pastas we tried. The only negative was the calamari appetizer which was fried and similar to what you'd get in a US chain restaurant. Otherwise everything including the wine recommend by the server was excellent.

Oh my goodness. This place was amazing…read more I'm not sure where to start, so let's start with the view. The pictures uploaded by others show the view from the restaurant, and it doesn't matter where you're seated--floor to ceiling glass windows give diners an unobstructed view of the shimmering Mediterranean sea. (I'll try to upload a photo as well.) I was there for lunch in August with a few friends (most of whom were locals). We ordered a number of seafood appetizers to share, including raw shrimp and other fish. Presentation was beautiful, and everything was fresh. For the main course, I had spaghetti with sea urchin. Simple, right? Yes, simple done right. The pasta was cooked al dente and smoothly mixed with the sea urchin. Every bite delivered a heady mix of perfectly cooked pasta flavored with the slight brininess from the sea urchin. I finished off my plate fast and looked hopefully at my friends' plates, hoping they weren't able to finish theirs so I could have more. Alas, they seemed to like the pasta just as much as I did as their plates were empty as well. A few others ordered a variety of cooked seafood, including swordfish. Their orders were presented on a heated tile of pink Himalyan salt, which I found fascinating. Yes, I'm easily impressed. :D I tried a bit of swordfish, and though I'm typically not a fan of this particular fish, it was amazing. We finished off our meal with some espressos (passed on dessert as we were all so full). Amazing lunch. The price was more than reasonable too, considering the breathtaking view, the warm and friendly service, and the quality and freshness of the food.

We did, and it appeared to be the opening of the restaurant: they had just bought it and renovated it. There were long tables for friends and family, and we foreigners were very welcome as well. We were sat in the very middle at a table for two. It was a real italian party with a lot of singing, wine, dance and food. The food was very good (fish, that's their fortee), and considering they were serving 70+ people at the same time, they did a marvellous job. Excellent risotto with fish, wouldn't dare to cook it myself, but it was delicious. The view from the bar and restaurant is breathtaking, with the emerald-blue sea in front, the mountains slightly tot the left, and Soverato to the right. The host was ever so kind, his wife too. Worth visiting!
