this was the best pasta I had in Sicily. I ordered the pasta with black truffles. The pasta was…read morecooked perfectly, they dress it in a little oil and tons of black truffle shavings, so the truffles really shine in this dish. My husband got the artichoke pasta and it was creamy and delicious. If you like artichokes even a little bit you'll love this pasta. The people working there were very kind and we sat right away. We had a great bottle of white wine from Etna, suggested by the staff. This place was right by our hotel which was a little off the main strip and felt a little less touristy and more like a family spot. Definitely make your way here if you're staying in Taormina!

There were no tables available but we were able to put our name in for 45 minutes later during what would typically be peak dinner time, although this is after the cruise ship crowd clears out of town. Luckily, Rosmarino is situated directly across the street from Taormina's public gardens so it was a pleasant wait. A table on the terrace allowed us to continue enjoying the view during dinner. What I ate was excellent. While I was too busy enjoying my meal to make detailed observations, I can wholeheartedly recommend both the caserecce al sugo (fresh handmade pasta in pork ragu) and rotolini alla messinese (beef involtini with cheese and breadcrumb filling).

The carbonara sauce was amazing. The bacon was even crispy which is a rare sight! Service was friendly. The outside covered patio was beautiful, calm and a delightful place to have dinner. The inside of the restaurant was where the local diners were eating, sounded like a big party inside, while it was serene outside where we were. We had lots of pleasant dinner conversation without it being noisy! Wonderful dinner experience. Highly recommend!
