Nice old building with a baronial feel to it; elegantly but not pretentiously furnished; friendly and professional staff; imaginative dishes, well executed; lots of extras. We wish we hadn't left it until the last night of our stay to discover this very amenable place. More

We happened upon this delightful restaurant while we were staying in the fabulous accommodation Villa Antonia B&B located above the restaurant. Service was attentive, helpful and discreet. The food was incredible and presentation amazing. Definately the best food of our 4 week Italian sojourn. The interior was warm and inviting and the outdoor eating area (overlooking Isola bella) would be... More

We've just returned from a splendid holiday in Sicily. We were on the lookout for a good restaurant in Taormina to mark the end of our holiday and were recommended Villa Antonio. The restaurant was situated almost at the base of Taormina and had an overwhelming and amazing view of Isola Bella and its interior was elegant and cosy. The... More

Among those locals from Taormina is reputated as the best restaurant in town. we had a great dinner, and even though it was not cheap (60€ per capita) it was not much more expensive than other restaurants we went and which very very far in terms of atmosphere and quality. Very formal place, but perfect for a candles diner. More

Coming to Taormina for our wedding last November, everything was a gamble as we did not have first hand knowledge or experience with the town or it's establishments. When we had booked Villa Antonio to host our wedding reception we didn't know what to expect. It is an understatement to say that we were blown away by the service, quality... More

We chose Villa Antonio as our wedding reception after previously searching around Taormina (and Sicily) for a suitable venue. Initially the place caught our eye for the appearance and view of the beautiful bay of Isola Bella. We then sat down in the main room for the tasting and needless to say we knew we made the right choice. On... More

Villa Antonino is not for everyone. It's a little pricey and off the beaten path from the mainstream, but amid the sea of sameness in Taorminian restaurants (almost all are very good) this place stands out as a treat for your palate and a delight for haute cuisine senses. More

We selected this restaurant for our wedding dinner and it was a bull's eye. The food was extremely tasty and exquisite. The service is very polite and descreet. The wedding cake was nicely decorated and looked enorm. All the guests had a unonimous wow-impression of the place. The interior of the restaurant is simple and very elegant. Surprisingly enough the... More
