Visited Da Cristina while in Taormina -- because you can't come to Sicily and not have arancini…read more The setup is very casual with fast ordering, though expect a long wait (worth it). Service was efficient despite the crowds. We tried the prosciutto and cheese arancini, and honestly, it was the first time I truly enjoyed one -- the cheese and prosciutto melted together perfectly, with great texture and flavor. Overall, a classic Taormina stop and definitely worth a visit. Saluti

It's filling and, if you're not careful, slightly messy - use your hands, no fork necessary nor suppled. Grab an espresso or americano to go along with it. Or them, but they're filling, remember, and you're going out for dinner later. Take a number and you'll be served soon. The staff spoke good English when we went. The extensive menu is on your phone, though locals just point at the myriad items on display. Tell them you want your receipt before you pay with your credit card if you are expensing. Sit outside in the very small covered piazza or the very small inside eating area. You'll need to bus your tray yourself. Go there.

The food was excellent. The service was incredible. The view was fantastic…read more We waited 38 minutes for this business to open at noon. We thought it was 11. But the wait was worth it. We did not know about the 4€ per person cover charge. It was worth it for excellent food, service and view. We had the marinara pizza with ham, and even though it had no cheese (ignorant about ordering cheese with the marinara sauce and ham), it was superb. This was the perfect place for lunch on our excursion while visiting Taormina for the day!

Talked to a local and asked what good restaurants there were with a view nearby and they…read morerecommended Granduca. When we showed up they asked if we had a reservation, which we didn't, but they were still able to seat us. I would recommend having a reservation because it filled up pretty quick. Something else you should know is that even though they have pizza on the menu, they do not serve pizza in the main restaurant. There is a lower mezzanine that serves pizza. The servers were quick to take our orders and bring everything out. The food was great and the view was greater. The spaghetti alla carbonara was a hit and the spaghetti ai frutti di mare was delicious.

The service however was good and I did feel that the staff cared; do go to this location and not the other villa zuccaro in the garden. The location in the garden has trash service but this place was better. They had no business the entire time i was there; after trying the food...I know why

My friend said "you can give them zero, if that's possible"…read more Overpriced for the low quality food. Super touristy. Menu caters to the American palate. Hard bread. Service isn't the best. Had to open our own bottle of water and pour it. Wine is a house wine at best. At the end we were served a yellow after dinner drink... "I wish they never brought it" -my friend. Lol. When we saw that it was on the main street, we were extremely reluctant but with over a thousand reviews averaging 4.4 stars on Google Maps, we tried it anyways. Should have trusted our instincts. Also, the photos posted on their review page aren't of current menu items.

Then we each had soup. I had the delicious creamy tomato soup and my husband had the vegetable. I found the vegetable soup a little too watered down but he seemed to like it. Plus it came with delicious bread sticks. Then we shared the caprese pizza. Pretty basic but the tomato sauce was beautifully done. Crust thin and also well done. Service was terrific. We sat on the beautiful patio and people watched.

I feel like the picture might speak for itself. I tried to give this carbonara a shot but it was…read morebasically just scrambled eggs with boiled pasta. I asked for another one but they came back with one that looked exactly like the first. I will say the ambiance was very nice & GORGEOUS but because the food disappointed me so much, it ruined my experience here. I just think carbonara is a dish that really needs to be perfected and this one was not.

Nice mom and pop place with some family members gathered in one area enjoying their own menu items. We enjoyed the pizza and beer. We could tell it was near closing but there was no rush to push us out. This is Sicily. Community, people, family, friendliness is more important than rushing people out. What a nice island. There was a 2 Euros cover charge added to the bill. We've seen this before in other nice restaurants. Still worth it.
