Al Giordino - CALASCIBETTA

Best hospitality in Taormina. Made us feel very welcome and comfortable. Great retro music and a host we will never forget. Your Canadian friends!!!

I went alone and tried their lunch offer- starter and main for 16€. The starter was good, not great, and the pasta was 2 minutes short of al dente. They served bread without asking and charged for it on the bill without telling (ok that's accepted in Mallorca), but only served one single tiny roll- cheeky all in all. There are plenty of better options in the square (Onze, 8, La Fonda to name a few).

The seafood tagliatelle was the best we have ever tasted. We enjoyed it so much we went there 3 nights running! You need to book to ensure a table as locals as well as visitors use it.

Eat here once on our last visit to Taormina, we had a fabulous starter of aubergine, tomato, onion parmasan followed by king prawns and tagliatelle with pistachio and shrimp all stunning. Wines were local and priced fairly, service fast efficient, staff were helpful and very polite. If going to dine later than 8:00 pm I would advice booking.

My group quickly got sick of the restaurants in the tourist district, so we explored outside of the touristy area and found this wonderful restaurant. Family owned and run for 3 generations now, you can tell the whole family is proud of their food. We ate here several times during our business trip because of the wonderful service and delicious food. Everything is freshly cooked and local. Highly recommend any of their fish dishes and that appetizer with the honey to dip in best honey we've ever had.
