Tiramisù
This stylish but unpretentious place hidden away just outside Porta Messina makes fabulous meals, from linguine cozze, menta e zucchine (pasta with mussels, mint and courgettes) to old favourites like scaloppine al limone e panna (veal escalope in lemon cream sauce). When dessert rolls around, don’t miss their trademark tiramisu, a perfect ending to any meal here.

La Giara
This stylish Art Deco restaurant and piano bar serves grilled fish and delicious pasta with inventive sauces such as lemon and shrimp. It has a well-heeled clientele (Ava Gardner used to dine here) and the sniffy maître d' will turn you away if you're not dressed appropriately. Reservations are required.

La Cisterna del Moro
Affordability and aesthetics don’t usually go hand in hand in Taormina, but this restaurant down an alley off Corso Umberto I is a welcome exception. Enjoy pizza, sandwiches or full meals as you contemplate the view from their pleasant outdoor terrace.

Maffei's
A small restaurant with a pretty courtyard garden and some of the best fish dishes in Taormina. Here you can enjoy a cornucopia of fish, cooked to your liking, however, it is always a good bet to go for the house special.

Casa Grugno
Despite the Austrian chef in the kitchen, the cuisine is modern Sicilian – and sublime. This is Taormina’s most fashionable restaurant and has a walled-in terrace surrounded by plants.
