We ate here based on the excellent reviews however were disappointed. The risotto was bland, undercooked and tasted like they'd added a kilo of salt to give it some 'flavour'! It is expensive - we had much better meals in Taormina for less money.

the food and service here are out of this world!so much so we are having our wedding reception here...parmigianna is the best in taormina, the pizza here is fab but it is fair to say that their seafood is their speciality!try anything that the house recommends and you wont be disappointed!

This is on the hill by the Madonna della Rocca overlooking Taormina. Make the effort to get up there - the view is amazing and if you walk a little way up towards the church you can see over to Italy as well. We went the day after they opened and so they had no gluten free bread (which we... More

Al Sareceno is located about midway between Taormina and Castelmola and occupies a lovely position with stunning panoramic views of Etna and the surroundings. We ate here on 3 occassions for dinner, and each time the food and service were excellent. We sampled the fillet steak with porcini mushrooms, swordfish, a couple of pasta dishes, lamb cutlets and couldnt fault... More

This restaurant sits above Taormina with a superb view of Etna, we went two nights while staying at a near by hotel and the food is extremely good and the staff very friendly and helpful.

Not only the food was amazing and well presented, the staff and the owner were extremely courteous. The restaurant is in a fantastic location, up hill and with a breathtaking view.... so .... a fantastic birthday lunch in an amazing spot!... More

There isn't a bad table in the restaurant but we had one with a particularly beautiful view. The owner recommended we try the portabello mushrooms (that had been picked that day in the foothills of... More

We chose Al Saraceno for our 40th anniversary dinner, and we are so glad we did. This is a "hidden gem" high above the shopping street, but worth the effort to find. As we were staying at Hotel Villa Ducale, it was for us just a short walk. The staff is exceedingly friendly, the view is spectacular, and we had... More

The restaurant was recommended to us by the owner of our B&B nearby, and we weren't disappointed. We arrived in Taormina late in the evening, and stopped in for a pizza and a bottle of the house wine. We were happy to go back the next night; I had the risotto with pumpkin and sausage followed by the tuna with... More
