    Outrageous Arancini. Worth the hype, worth stopping for. The ragu is perfect and I am kicking myself for not getting one last one before leaving. The pistachio and mushroom was also excellent. I was really surprised by this one. I am also still craving it. Lastly, the eggplant Arancini. I would have perhaps enjoyed it more had I not been so full, but it was very enjoyable. It's the ragu with eggplant. I'd skip the pizza, there's better pizzarias in taoromina, but there is not a better place for Arancini.

    Ragu €3.50

    This place was one of the top arancini we had the whole trip! It was super close to where we were staying and the prices were so affordable. We tried the pistachio arancini and the ragu one both were €3.50 and perfect to share. Of the two I really loved the pistachio one but both were so incredible! They do offer other things like pizza or stuffed pizza if arancinis aren't your thing. But wow,I really loved these! Highly recommend giving this place a try for an amazing quick bite with plenty of seating to enjoy your food!!

    Unfortunately only place to eat I got to try while in Sicily due to tour group timing.. Our tour guid said this place had the best Arancini... So we game and tried this place.. Had pastachio Arancini and two slices of pizza. Spicy salame and arugula. Pizza was very yummy specially the arugula which also had tomato and some other veggies.. Best Arancini I've had so far.. Definitely recommend this place.

    Delicious eggplant parm, & pizza ! A lovely environment. This waS our first meal after arriving in Taormina; we were ravenous ! And we left satisfied!

    Ragú and Pistachio Arancini

    A great place to eat! Highly recommended by the locals. It is Just a couple of steps down from the Parrocchia di S Nicolo di Bari. The Brontë Pistachio was delicious.

    This is a simple restaurant that is almost the cafeteria style approach yet in a family restaurant presentation This location is linked to the adjacent spaces so you can supplement the manual with offerings from their pizza shop next-door if you're in the mood to do that We very much enjoyed some unique dishes like a potato encrusted pizza as an example We were traveling with a group of 14 and they accommodated us quickly by rearranging a few tables This may not be the easiest restaurant to fine so I also included a clip from the back of the business card showing the exact location

    Amazing. Wonderful. Perfect. The eggplant arancini is to die for- crispy and ooey gooey. I'm already dreaming about lunch tomorrow!!

    Mema inside the main restaurant is awesome. The grilled octopus and medium salad was perfect. Wines $4 glass.

    They have a restaurant. But the take away section is great. Simple , cheap and tasty small dishes. Great for walking around the old town

Thanks to the trusty Yelp app, giving us guidance through-out our trip through Italy we stumbled upon Vecchia Taormina. Admittedly, we walked past the entrance as the numbering system of Corso Umberto is decidedly "different" in a few spots. Eventually, we honed in on the alley entrance and found ourselves on a charming terrace, flanked by old buildings, covered with large patio umbrellas and the delicious smells of wood-oven pizza wafting out. It couldn't have been more quintessentially Italian...with children running through, families opening and closing doors, neighbors calling to each other...it was the perfect atmosphere. In all our time in Italy, we hadn't seen mozzarella sticks on any menu (right!? haha, so American we are) but we weren't expecting them either. Queue Vecchia Taormina who served up delightfully fresh balls of fried mozzarella. Lightly, lightly fried - such fresh cheese, light hand with the breading ... delicious. Then, we ordered two pies...two gigantic pies. We probably should have shared, but with the plethora of options (50+ pizzas!!!) screaming for attention on the menu...we had to try at least a couple. We ordered a Funghi and a Patate..first time I've had potato on a pizza and certainly not the last after the brilliance of this pizza. The dough was perfection...the white sauces creamy and balanced...the ingredients fresh...just the perfect bites of pizza. The house wines (I tried rose and JT tried the white) were also amazing...no need to order more expensive bottles when the house wines are already so satisfying. Great spot, hidden gem - good for couples and families alike.
