Where to go for an Apertivo with a great view?

We would recommend The Sensus bar at Hotel Metropole, right in the centre of town, overlooking the sea and has great Jazz music

For a city view of Taormina

The Sky Bar at Palazzo Vecchio does amazing cocktails, apertivo & has a DJ right on their Terrace.

Best Pizzerias in Town?

Villa Zuccaro- Charming restaurant in a 17th-century villa, offering Sicilian dishes & pizza, plus a leafy patio. Have won awards for their pizza.

La Botte 1972 - Is definitely a hidden gem & one of our favourite go to for a casual night for pizza, wine & beer. They offer alfresco dinning. The is close to the Greek Theatre & you will often see the artists eating here after their concert.

Our favourite restaurants:

I Giardini di Babilonia - Farm to table, also Andrea Bocelli's go to restaurant when he is in Taormina. Has a beautiful garden for alfresco dinning.

Adduma Grill - For the best steak in town we highly recommend Adduma. You will be able to choice your cut of beef & can book your own steak on a hot plate.

Raya Restaurant - Raya is a great fine dinning restaurant for fish lovers. They even do an octopus ragu, which is a favourite of John's. Also has a pretty Alfresco garden.
