My wife and I were able to get in immediately with our three kids on the back patio area with a wonderful view of the sea. The staff and patrons of the restaurant were very kind and professional. They spoke decent English too which is never a requirement but always helpful. I had the Fettuccine with calamari, shrimp, and clams and it was AMAZING. We also had a couple pizzas to split for the family which were also very good (as you'd expect in Sicily)and a beer. The bill total was €66 which is really not too bad considering 1. It's Taormina and 2. It was enough food to feed two adults and three kids with leftovers. I will say plan better than we did for parking as I did have a ticket waiting for me upon our return to the Jeep I'll update with some pictures later as they're on my wife's phone Ciao! Arrivederci!

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 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!

Right off the bat they tell you this is a fish restaurant and that the menu changes weekly. You can see the fresh fish of the day as is is brought to you table side and is priced based on the kilo. My wife and I ordered a starter, pasta and fish to share which was more than enough food for the two. We also had a glass of wine which wasn't a house wine but essentially picked based on our preference. We ended up getting the raw starter which included raw shrimp, langastinos, oyster, amberjack carpaccio and white tuna tartare. Then we had a seafood pasta with finally a fillet of amberjack served with broccoli and some mashed potatoes. All in with wine the bill came to about $150 euro. Also the bread was excellent and freshly made in house, it's charged to the table but honestly worth the $3 per person.

The restaurant came highly recommended by our Italian travel agent, and even without a reservation, we were warmly welcomed and seated right away. A lovely woman came to our table to walk us through the day's specials, especially the fresh fish options. She enthusiastically described how the catch of the day could be prepared, and we chose the red snapper served two ways: one half with toasted bread crumbs and orange citrus, and the other half Sicilian-style with olives, raisins, tomatoes, and fresh herbs. Both preparations were absolutely outstanding--fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Later, we learned that the woman who so passionately described the menu was actually the owner, which made the experience feel even more personal and memorable. If you're in Taormina, do not miss this place. The food and service were both five-star, and it was a delicious, heartfelt way to start or end our trip.

KenScale: 8.0/10 Visit: June 2023…read more Last year, my wife Jun and I spent a summer vacation in Sicily. Sicily had long been on our travel wish list, and the recent White Lotus TV show only heightened that desire to check out this beautiful island. Just like the characters in White Lotus, our main base was in the resort town of Taormina (although we didn't stay at the exact same Four Seasons hotel, we were very happy with our choice of Hotel Villa Ducale with breathtaking views of the coastline and Mount Etna). It was truly a wonderful summer trip of beach club, wine tasting in Mount Etna and other stops in Noto, Siracusa and Ragusa following our stay in Taormina. On the other hand, maybe it was we were in mostly touristy areas or my faulty research but it is hard to say we had a truly memorable meal in some of the restaurants we had visited in Sicily. One restaurant we did like a lot (thanks to the recommendation of the hotel we were staying at) was Osteria RossoDiVino in Taormina. We visited the restaurant on our second day in Taormina after a full day at the beach club. The food was mostly delicious with one standout item that Jun and I can't stop thinking about. The restaurant is located away from the touristy center of Taormina in a hidden alley. Just like a typical Sicilian restaurant, the menu is focused on seafood, and our server brought a giant plate of fish that were caught that day. If there is one item that you absolutely need to try at RossoDiVino, it is the fried anchovies with white mayonnaise. Jun doesn't even like anchovies that much but the ones at the restaurant were rather large and fried to perfection. We would've been perfectly happy eating just these without anything else for the rest of the night. We also opted to split one of the pasta specials on the blackboard, linguine all'astice with lobster. It was somewhat pricey at 40 euros (especially with a rather modest portion) but a pretty solid dish. Among the catch of the day options, we chose a bigeye fish cooked Sicilian stew style using tomato broth that was simple yet well-executed. Since we were in Sicily, we felt compelled to try some cannoli with ricotta cheese and RossoDiVino's dish was not disappointing, especially with a glass of fortified Sicilian wine of marsala. The restaurant's outdoor space is not large so if you want to book for prime-time dinner during a busy touristy season, making a reservation in advance is highly recommended (the restaurant doesn't seem to have reservations available via one of the restaurant reservation websites but if you are staying at a hotel, you can ask them for help in securing a reservation by phone like we did). Sicily's wines have been getting worldwide recognition for a while and RossoDiVino's selection from a variety of regions in the island is excellent for exploring the versatile terroir of these wines. Thanks to the restaurant's location, we didn't feel like we were dining at a touristy trap and it was great to have a relaxing summer meal in a charming outdoor seating without all the noise coming from the main street of Corso Umberto. As beautiful as Taormina is as a vacation destination, its food scene may not be what you would the best from Sicily, but if there is one restaurant that is worth checking out, I would say RossoDiVino is one such place.

I'm happy to say that this restaurant's version is completely authentic and conjures up images of Old Italy with ever mouth-water
