As Edoardo Raspelli said : Here is an excellent grill in an old building, an extremely pleasant little restaurant in every season. You are, in fact, on a beautiful, bright veranda with open windows, looking over the rooftops and green remnants of Taormina Sopra. Above your heads is a web of bougainvillea and your tables are lit by the light of a candle. Actually, it is not a dark place, but quite romantic and even seductive. The food, too, is every bit as seductive and will leave an excellent memory of your trip to Sicily: sauries, onion sauce, pasta with sea urchins, sword fish rolls, "nature" or with a bit of tomato...Extremely friendly service, particularly from the effervescent owner.
