There are many places to eat in Taormina and this one, is one of the best!. It is owned by a young and very talented chef who serves food from every Sicialians childhood, puts a slightly modern twist on it, and makes it even more delicious. The food is fresh, the ingredients all local, and in the hands of Allesandro... more

We have just returned from Taormina with a group of people and we ate at La Bougainville on our last night. It was worth waiting for! The food was fantastic and the service we received was second to none. Sandro and his team make dining out a pleasure! We had already decided to go there having visited the restaurant in... more

Enjoyed twice dinner at La Bougainville on a four-night stay in Taormina. Service was excellent, Food was great (ask for the Catch of the Day or look for other seafood) and though not a prime location the atmosphere is phantastic. The wine lists includes a lot of local wines and the recommendations were also very good. One evening we were... more

Things didn't really work for us that night as the weather had returned very warm and there was a large group of locals inside in the air conditioned dining room. Then we had to wait an age to order... more

We ate here after reading the good reviews on this site. the food was lovely, and very good service. We shared a salad to start, and then had the penne with salmon and curry (delicious), spaghetti with aubergine (good) then the tuna (slightly undercooked) and swordfish (lovely). A very nice bottle of wine to wash it down. Not the cheapest... more

For my wife and I, this restaurant stood out amongst the many, similarly priced restaurants in Taormina. Friendly and attentive service, and - most importantly - excellent food. During our short stay in the town we went twice and will return if we ever make a return trip. more

Best restaurant in Taormina - no doubt! Very Romantic atmosphere and a nice staff. more
