One of best tasting dough I have eaten on Sicily. Middle thick, made from first class farina - very testeful! Toppings are rich in quality but poor in amount (- one star!) My top choice: pizza Messina (white pizza, Artischock, cabbage, tomatos.) - light, fresh and intense in teste.

Close to the port and lots of beautiful statues and look at on the walk. Highly recommend.read more

After hiking around Mt. Etna, we were ravenous. We had missed lunch and it was 2pm. Although we…read morewere pressed for time and it was pouring down rain, we ran to this spot to grab some food. Great location: by itself, along the water with great views. It has a patio area, but we sat inside. I hate to tell staff that we are in a hurry, but we were, and they were fantastic about accommodating us. Our server moved SO FAST! Even though, place was busy, (lots of other people were inside, avoiding the rain), he was still attentive and made sure we got everything quickly. Drinks: Messina beer (local brew): ok, but I'm not a beer drinker. Similar to Peroni in taste House red wine: Very Good. Of course, the house wine was that good. Food: Fresh bread Prosciutto con melone: Excellent. When your cantaloupe is this sweet & ripe and prosciutto this salty & savory, there are no words. Sicilian Pizza: topped w/herbs, onions, olives (with the pits, beware) tomato sauce & strong cheese. Excellent. Wish I had more room in my stomach to eat more of this. Focaccia: seasoned w/olive oil, anchovies & fresh olives. My choice & Excellent. Exactly what I was craving. Primavera Pizza: Very good, but my daughter's choice (meaning, meats & cheese). Spaghetti Bolognese: my son's choice. He loved it and angrily peered at my daughter and husband, who kept stealing bites. Although we had to jog to our next location, we had fantastic service & food to make it all possible. Great pit stop!

The cheese and the crust were yummy, but the real star was the tomato sauce. It was full of flavor and freshness and not at all acidic. To go with our pizza, we ordered a liter of vino bianco which we didn't realize at the time is actually *more* than a standard bottle of wine. It was just their house wine, but of course we thought it was the best white wine we'd ever had. And to go with our pizza and wine, we had a table outside overlooking the ocean. Not too shabby, Italy. Not too shabby. All for only $35. We left stuffed, buzzed, and happy as clams. Take me back!

Favorite dish would be the lobster linguine. Amazing flavor & a perfect portion size. I'd strongly recommend the mussels appetizer. I've never been a fan of mussels until I tried them here. They're cooked in this flavorful and savory wine sauce that compliments the mussels without overpowering their flavor. It's a huge portion size that two people can share. The icing on the top is the impeccable customer service. The owners and chefs genuinely care about your experience. One of the main servers (I believe she's an owner) is an absolute gem. She remembers me each time even if a year has past since our last visit. Definitely give them your business if you're in the Giardini-Naxos or Taormina area. You'll be glad you did.

When we were in Taormina on vacation recently, we had Osteria da Rita dal 1991 on our list of…read moreplaces we absolutely had to dine at for dinner. One thing to note is that Osteria da Rita dal 1991 does NOT take reservations under any circumstance and is walk in only. I tried to go through the local 5 star hotel concierge at our resort and they didn't have access, and I also tried to secure reservations myself (I work for a high end travel/concierge company) and also was unsuccessful myself. But now, I understand why after going there. When you walk up, try to go towards the start of their dinner hours to get in line for a standby table. As tables "turn" the next table in the line is seated, that way everyone at the restaurant is treated fairly and is seated as tables are available. There were people in line with us that had dined there 2 or 3 times for dinner during their vacation, so we knew we were in for a treat because dining in Taormina is absolutely outstanding! Right across from the line queue, there in a gelato shop with a takeaway bar that sells wine, beer, and alcoholic drinks that you can take into the line while you wait for your table. At the time of our visit in June 2025, we were able to get a bottle of wine for 15 Euros that we drank while waiting on our table for about an hour to an hour and a half. When we were seated, we were greeted warmly by restaurant staff and they brought over the menus and complimentary bread and bruschetta. We also ordered the bottle of house wine to start as well and it was really good! For starters, we ordered the Spaghetti da Za Rita (15 Euros) and the Lasagna al Ragu (15 Euros). Both had homemade pasta and the quality was out of this world, everything was super fresh. For the entree we ordered the Lemon Flavored Meatballs (16 Euros) and these were out of this world, also very fresh and an amazing main course to share! We were full by the time we got through with dinner, so we didn't order any dessert but all of the desserts looked amazing! They did bring over a complimentary shot of limoncello to close the meal which was also greatly appreciated as well! It's truly an amazing restaurant and a must try spot if you're in Taormina!
