A Casitta Di Lembo Giuseppe - GRANITI

We ended up here after reading the Conde Nast Travel plan for Taormina which advised this place. It was the best decision we could have made! If your looking for typical Italian food, non touristic trap places (Those that you find all over Taormina center), affordable, then this is the place you are looking for. There is no menu, we ended up paying 35€ per person but we drink 2 bears each and had the desert which is not included in the menu prices (25€/person). This menu is basically a tasting menu of Sicilian delights. Everything was fresh, very diversified and very Italian, consisting of multiple appetizers, pasta dish and meat in the end (for the strong ones with a lot of appetite). Then, we still had a home made gelato that was very good as well. Examples of dishes: Fig with parma ham Mozzarella and tomato Melanzane Caponata Pasta with fresh ingredients Assortment of Grilled meat Among others Please go to this place and avoid Taormina touristic trap.

My family and I decided to try this restaurant whilst on a holiday last week (September 2019). I asked for the menu which turned out to be extremely poor in choice. The owner kept insisting on us trying the 'assagini '. Hungry as we were and with little choice we decided to take up the offer which we regretted deeply. We were 6 adults and a boy. One of the adults did not manage to eat anything and the boy had only some pasta. The rest (5 in all) had the assagini (about 10 tiny portions) and some pasta together with one bottle of water and one carafe white wine and 3 limoncellos for which we were charged €225!!

Words cannot adequately describe the experience of eating at the wonderful restaurant. This place is a must visit for everyone. The food is fantastic and is home cooking at its very best. Chef also makes his own wines. I would go back again and again. The waiting service is provided by chef and his wife and is a total pleasure. This is a well run family children friendly restaurant

We had a similar experience like some of the reviews said, no menu. But the owner/chef/waiter was very nice and offered us, he will bring us traditional meals to try everyrhing. We decided to accept it and prepred ourselves it might be more expensive. In the end, it was totally worth it! Restaurant has nice view and even though its right next to the road (thankfully, thats why we found it), its not too noisy. Both the owners are very nice and helpful (husband and wife). And the Food was just amazing. Someone wrote it was too expensive. I dont know if they got the same stuff, but i really dont know what do people expect to pay for like 10 course dinner Owner kept bringing us New and New meals. We dont like fish, so he adapted the menu. We got great local red and white wine and delicious dessert. Also fantastic lemon liqeur. We paid 75€, which is not cheap, but I think it fits with the service and experience we got. You most likely pay similar price in expensive Taormina restaurants for basic lunch for 2. After all it really was experience we will remember. Definitely highlight of our trip to Sicily and we will come back for sure, if we are here ever again.

A place of peace a wonderful panorama good food, perhaps a dear
