Wine was ok they brought out two different bottles to try, place is now packed. Try at your own risk. Not my favorite here. Doris approved 3.5 stars. The whole meal everything pictured was 22.00euro Everyone else cleaned their plates so maybe we didn't pick the right meals.

Delayed flight, transfer to the hotel (which confusingly had a high name similarity to several…read moreothers, such that we initially went wrong), and in the end, it was about 10 pm before we could go hunting for food. Is that a problem. It would be in the US, but in Italy, nessun problema! We walked through the narrow and still very crowded streets of the center around the Dome. The trattoria di Antonio was packed (with mostly Italian guests), but Antonio just created an extra table to seat us. What else would you expect from Italy than having delicious food? And so it was: Antipasto siciliano, octopus salad, rigatoni and risotto pescatorio were all perfect - paired with the warm outdoor seating and the so charming attitude of the Italian staff. Bookmarked for return!

An incredible experience! We loved it so much here. The hospitality, friendliness and…read moreprofessionalism made our meal that much more enjoyable. This trattoria is uniquely decorated and the staff are wonderful. We ordered a lentil soup and caponata gluten free for antipasti. Then we ordered gluten free ragú carne which was lovely. My husband ordered linguine ragú carne and he really enjoyed it. They are informed about gluten free and while there aren't a plethora of options, the ones you order you will thoroughly enjoy! Highly recommend this place for its ambiance, food quality and service. Grazie mille La foglia!

We walked by at 11:30 and he was walking in ready to get lunch going it's now 9:30 and he is still here bringing out our bill. As an immigrant to clawed his way from the hood to the top I really apréciate he work ethic. Trey have free WiFi and a house wine for $12 that would be 30 in another place. The ambiance is very nice not like say he place we went last night but still nice. The food is amazing and reasonably priced. We started off with the Sicilian fried bread. That was a revelation with 6 pieces of toast, one had grilled eggplant, the other roasted peepers with honey the last onions. One word wow! Get this! For 5e it's an amazing way to start your meal. We then got a grilled pork sampler and pasta with tomato sauce. The porks sampler was like an Italian version of an agentinian parilllafoab

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!
