As I was in Sicily, I decided to go out and find a restaurant that would serve fish. The charming proprietor assured me he would do a whole fish for me, and ushered me inside. This was about the second day into my trip and I hadn't yet realized that many restaurants in Sicily don't actually have menus. Which makes... More

Tucked in an alleyway off of the via Artist, this restaurant boasts a rave review from an Italian celebrity (go there to find out who), and has prominently been cranking out fine cuisine for years..admittedly we stumbled into here when roaming umberto when one of the servers came out to aggressively get us seated...I cautiously went in and was MoRE...

Had the pasta with squid in black ink and it was incredible. Also liked the sweet wine we got at the end of the meal, the service was great too. More

While it has all of the makings of a very touristic restaurant (waiters enticing you from the street, tourist-like menu), our food here was quite good. We had pizzas (very good although not the best in town) and also had mussels in marinara sauce, which were quite good and fresh. This is a place that I would definitely come back... More

This restaurant is in the heart of Taormina! The staff is absolutely wonderful and they make you feel like you are the only ones there! Adriana and Fina are purely delightful! And the food, I highly recommend the swordfish involtini! The pizzas were perfection. More

Even though we were traveling on a cruise ship, we knew we had to try Sicilian cuisine (as we were told it has the best seafood in Italy). Gambero Rosso did not disappoint! We stumbled upon it while walking around Taormina. It was the best seafood and fresh pasta dish we ever tasted. The service was warm and welcoming and... More
