Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

After a series of excellent dinners over the course of 2+ weeks in Sicily, we finally ran into a restaurant that I can only rate as average. We arrived for our 7:00 reservation (yes it's early) with a total of 6 other diners in the...restaurant. I still can't understand why it took over 15 minutes sitting at the table before the waiter addressed us. The fried cheese appetizer was very good, but my rack of lamb, totally tasteless and my wife's linguini with clams merely adequate. Then the 20+ person tour group rolled in so you can imagine the attention we received after that. Definitely a restaurant that you could miss.More

We had an excellent dinner. Very friendly staff, and nice setting. The food and wine were excellent from the antipasti shared plate to the tuna fish.

Really excellent Sicilian food with very friendly service. We had a fried cheese, the name of which I forget to start, followed by a rigatoni allá Norma and a ravioli filled with ragú with a bottarga sauce. All were delicious and perfect. We shared a...pistachio soufflé for dessert which was stunning. The soft pistachio oozed from it. Absolutely sublime.More

My wife and I visited this restaurant for lunch in November. The service we received was fantastic and the food was delicious. Would definitely recommend to others. We ate in the restaurant rather than the area at the back as it was better air conditioned...than the area at the rear with a better view. But that is just personal preference. Great Staffa and great food. Definitely worth visiting.More

Good food, nice place to have a pasta dish with seafood, very tasty Sicilian salad, sea bass filet with cherry tomatoes, olives, capers on puréed celery. After dinner we were offered a glass of limoncello. Recommended

We had an outstanding meal and experience here. The food was excellent and the service was superb and very friendly. We sat on the back terrace in a lovely setting. I would recommend this restaurant if you are visiting this beautiful town.

We had high expectations given the reviews, prices on the menu, and the look of the hotel. While the service was above and beyond, I can’t say the same about the food. This was easily the most expensive meal we had since we started our...trip to Sicily but, sadly, the food was not worth the price at all. We started with ravioli, which was excellent. It was cooked perfectly and was an amazing combination of textures and flavours. Then everything went down hill. We shared a caprese salad, which was lacklustre. It could have used a lot more basil, and the tomatoes didn’t have much flavour — first time we ever had a bland tomato in Sicily. Then I had the calamarata and my friend the rigatoni alla norma. It was not the best allá norma my friend had in Sicily — she was not as excited about it as she’s been in previous restaurants. The calamarata was fine but not something I would ever order again — there was barely any shrimp in it, and the lime gave the whole dish a bit of a bitter after taste. I will say though that it is clear their waitstaff team is committed to providing outstanding service. That was truly the best part of the whole experience. The spot is gorgeous as well. But it’s hard to be happy with the experience when this was the only memorable aspect of it.More

We sat down to eat at this amazing restaurant, the chef came over to give us the menu as we had just ordered some water. Unfortunately I did not feel very well, I explained I couldn't stay and that we would have to leave. This...wonderful man apologized and made me feel so much better and would not let us pay for the water. We will be back.More

This must be one of the best places in the town. Spacious interior, air conditioning, proper tables and chairs for dining and is much less crowded than all other eateries nearby. Food is beautiful presented, maitre owner was most helpful assisting us choosing one of...the 3 different fish presented on a platter for us to view. The fish was then carefully prepared and divided for 2 of us on a trolley covered with table cloth. Such meticulous attention to preparing the fish which took at least 5 minutes and was a joy to watch. The fish was a local one, red in colour, was superb. We had some pasta and side vegetables of zucchini and tomatoes followed by coffee. Such an unexpected delight to have some quiet time in this touristy town of Taormina.More

We tried this restaurant because of the good reviews, but no surprise that an overpriced restaurant in the main tourist street playing nonstop american hits from the 80’s could not be expected to serve authentic good italian food. Instead, one of the worst meals we...have had during many travels to Italy. The wine was barely drinkable, pasta vongole so heavily salted that nothing else could be tasted, whereas the ravioli did not have almost any taste at all (and the portion was tiny). Salad was ok. We did not want to stay for secondi piatti, and left feeling hungry and disappointed.More

Great food and reasonably priced. It was very busy but staff were very attentive and made our experience very special. There was a great choice of food and both our pasta dishes were excellent. I would certainly recommend a visit.
