While ambling around in the afternoon in mid. November, I kept coming back to read ANFORA's Blackboard sign down on the street. That evening, I chose the ANFORA for my group of 3. The fresh local fish filleted tableside was ultra-fresh and cooked to a bountiful perfection. Our server ( or maybe the owner) was unusually personable and helpfu. The... more

Our trip to Anfora was good, but there are so many places in Taormina, if I returned, I would try somewhere else. The 2 items we ordered were not available that night so we had to select alternatives. When the food did arrive, it was very good, but fairly small portions considering the cost. The service was good, but it... more

This place is like a warm bath! The food is prepared with attention and love, so is the service. We had Sicilian food as it should be pure and perfect. My love had the Sea bass alright because it came so highly recommended on Tripadvisor. He was astounded fish could taste like that. I had, so Nerino the really lovable... more

We were tired and hungry when we walked up the steps to see if Ristorante Anfora was open. It was at least two hours before the normal dinner hour, but Nerino said "Come in! Do you want to eat inside or out?" We chose inside, because Taormina is a little chilly on a November evening. He brought fresh bread and... more

From the moment we walked in, Nerino was delightful and attentive to our every need. He clearly takes pleasure in looking after his customers and carefully selecting the music that he thinks they will enjoy, This is a small and very friendly resaurent that serves excellent seafood. Highly recommended. more

We decided to eat at Anfora because it had great reviews in Trip Advisor. It is a small restaurant on steps just above the Corso Umberto and the food was lovely although the fish was really expensive. Service was a bit surreal - the waiters were doing their best to speak each diner's own language and, while well-intentioned, it was... more

We had dinner here and were very impressed - a small restaurant, but with loads of atmosphere and a very helpful and friendly proprietor. If you like fish, don't look any further than the fresh sea-bass or orata (gilt-head bream) baked in salt - it is superb. My wife is not a fish-eater and had a "country" risotto that she... more

Yes everything people say below is true on some occasions ... I had dinner at Anfora 3 nights out of 6 while in Taormina, 16-22 Sept 2009. I tried other places recommended on TA but I found them too large and impersonal. Baronessa was outrageously expensive at around EUR50 for a main!! You have to be joking! Hence I came... more

My husband and I had a really enjoyable evening in Anfora during our trip to Sicily in August. It is situated in the beautiful 'old town' of Taormina. The food was exquisite and the service very attentive. The glass of prosecco on the house was very well appreciated as was the wonderful entertainment! Nerino and his band certainly know how... more
