La Griglia - TAORMINA

We visited this family run restaurant on our first night arriving in Taormina. Our first thoughts were that it appeared quiet, we also noticed it was immaculate , people dining looked contented and we could see the locals were also dining out there. The family running it appeared friendly and welcoming and full of character. We ordered a mix of starters and mains to share and were blown away by the food. Wonderful fish and meat, treated with love and care and cooked to perfection. We could not stop talking about how amazing we thought it was, and how we loved the atmosphere, so much so, we returned 3 more times over our 7 day vacation. We returned on our last day, to dine, to show our respect, and to say goodbye. This place should be bursting with people eating there, and we wish the family all the best and the success they deserve. We will return. Sandy and Rich, UK.

Excellent food. Excellent service. Thoroughly enjoyed a 3 course meal here. Enjoyed a tasty salad, lovely tasty white fish, perfectly cooked, tasty fries and amazing chocolate mouse. Wonderfully light. Staff were very attentive and were made to feel welcome. Nice rustic Italian kitchen decor to restaurant. On the Main Street but set inside so away from the hustle and bustle of the area.

We were recommended to go here for dinner. We went with two friends and we were all very happy with our experience. The wine selection is great and not expensive, the appetizers were delicious, as were the first and second courses options. There are plenty of choices, whether you want fish, beef, or vegetarian. This is a family owned restaurant, and they treated us like they loved that we were there. Just do yourself a favor and make this one of your restaurant choices for your time in Taormina.

Our favorite restaurant in Taormina. Excellent Sicilian food, Loved the Pasta with Sardines, cherry tomatoes, pine nuts, raisins and cheese. Pasta con Sandro e Finocchietto. Wonderful, friendly service. Lovely dining room with clean tablecloths and cloth napkins. Good choice of local wines.

Good set lunch available. We had a la carte as there were dishes we wanted to try. Good service in a spacious environment. Sadly frozen fries are served but at least it tells you on the menu.
