The bartenders really listen to what you like and make your drink just right. Friendly and knows their stuff.

Great spot for a catch-up! The Nutella crepe is a must-share. A bit pricey, but the location is perfect.

The granita here is the real deal. You can taste the fresh fruit in every spoonful, not that artificial syrup stuff. A clear cut above what you get elsewhere.

Stopped by for a quick bite. The bread was really soft and warm, smelled great. Fillings tasted fresh. Good for a casual dinner.

The swordfish rolls with nougat were a fun find. The whole place has this quiet, rustic vibe that just lets you relax. Felt like a little escape from the usual city buzz.

Came here for a special dinner. The risotto was spot on, really creamy. Pasta was tasty too. The wine they suggested went well with everything. A solid meal.

The arancini with mortadella and pistachio were really good. You can tell they use quality stuff. But for the price, I expected a bit more than two pieces on the plate.

Tavernacolo offers a fantastic selection of Calabrian wines and artisanal cured meats. The service is professional and fast, and the prices are honest. Definitely worth a visit for a delightful culinary experience!

This restaurant stands out for its excellent quality sushi and friendly service. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a great meal!

The atmosphere was great but the service was slow: we waited at the least 30 mins before somebody came to take the order.

Upscale spot, so prices reflect that. Portions are small. But the ingredients? Top-notch. Had the scallops, incredibly fresh.

Stumbled upon this spot a bit off the beaten path. The outdoor terrace with those little fairy lights is so cute at night! Perfect for catching up with a couple of friends over dinner. We just hung out there for ages.

The food here has that honest, home-cooked feel. We came for a casual lunch and it just hit the spot. Simple, but you can tell it&#39;s made with care. The pasta was particularly satisfying.

Nice spot right by the water. The Pepata di cozze was the star for me&mdash;mussels were plump and the broth was just right, not too heavy. A solid choice for a casual lunch.

Been coming here for years. The casarecce alla norma is always spot on, exactly how I remember it from my first visit. That&#39;s why I keep coming back.

Been coming here for years, and their seafood pasta never disappoints. That&#39;s why we keep coming back.

The Luxury sushi set here is huge, seriously. So many pieces, and they give you tons of sauce too. For Taormina, that&#39;s a pretty good deal. Left feeling very full.

I highly recommend this family-run restaurant. The service is excellent, and the outdoor seating in a quiet square adds to the charm.

Been coming here for years. Their cocktails are consistently on point, and that&#39;s why I keep coming back.

We tried the specials menu. The grilled octopus was a standout. Paired it with a crisp white wine from their list, which worked nicely. The chef clearly knows his stuff. A bit pricey, but the flavors were on point.

Busy Saturday night, but still managed to have a relaxed time. The noise level was just right for a proper chat with friends. My gnocchi with truffle sauce was the star of the show.
