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.

My husband and I loved this little bar. The lady running it was lovely, always a big smile and a laugh. Good drinks and warm welcome, great for people watching.

We stopped for drinks after dinner and had the best drinks during our stay in Taormina. The service was perfect, the atmosphere even more perfect. The result of such a wonderful evening, maybe not so perfect 😅

Lovely relaxed bar in the centre of Taormina. Welcoming staff, great cocktails and lunch offering. A welcome retreat from the intense heat whilst wandering around beautiful Taormina.

Called in on the way back to the hotel. Accidentally a glass got broken, drink was spilled. Drinks were not replenished and what was worse we were charged €5 for the glass. Certainly not what we expected 🤬🤬

Lovely cosy bar with a huge amount of style. Some seating outside but the lovey inside with stylish bar and comfy seating options is the best bit. Nice level of music so you can talk but had that nice ambiance that adds to the room....Excellent bar menu of drinks with everything you expect plus some tasty food to add to the drink. The guys who run it are very welcoming and provide the service. Just loved being here in the evening as well as people watching during the day. Location is good as it is centre but down a level so away from the busy Main Street.More

We stumbled upon this place on our first day and returned every day for a few afternoon drinks. Cinzia Was a fantastic host and really made us feel so welcome. She was so friendly and welcoming. We had lunch a few times which was delicious,...but mostly we just sat with a cocktail or a glass of wine and watched the work pass by. This was by far our favourite place. Can’t wait to go back.

Great find on our first night, great for people watching, good music, and fantastic cocktails. What makes this place is Cinzia and Tano (the owner) they are so much fun, and we loved coming to visit them every night and listen to their singing, and...learning new Italian phrases. Make sure you seat at the window seat and watch the World go by.More
