What a fabulous restaurant. Set on the highest level of Taormina. Views are to die for. Food is excellent. Melon and Parma ham superb followed by the seafood platter. The seafood ravioli was excellent. All fresh and very tasty. A step above the average restaurants in the town. A bonus a slight breeze.

29/6/2019 20:00. Alle tafels op het grote terras zijn de moeite waard, zeer mooie ligging en uitzicht. Vriendelijke bediening, en zeer lekker gegeten met voorgerecht en hoofdschotel. De fles rosé wijn was zeer lekker. Nadien nog sorbet & panna cotta, cappuccino en expresso en een limoncello van het huis. Toen wat meer volk kwam werd de bediening minder, de vriendelijke patron spoorde (zeer merkbaar aanwezig) zijn mensen heftig en gejaagd aan . Toch heb ik tot 2xtoe de rekening moeten vragen(20') vooraleer afgerekend kon worden. Verder zeeer goed en leuk restaurant.

It was great. Nice service - breath taking views. Only (small issue) were wasps that seemed to take a liking to me and my food before sun down. After that they disappeared.m and there’s little the restaurant could have done about his. Definitely go :-)

Ottimo posto e ottimo cibo. Nulla da dire. Splendida vista sul golfo di Taormina sorseggiando buon vino bianco e gustando una cena rigorosamente a base di pesce.

Such a perfect restaurant, the view is breath taking, service impeccable, it’s was our 10th wedding anniversary so complimentary champagne was given to us on arrival which was a lovely touch. The food was sensational, I can recommend the ravioli. Both my husband and I said one of the best restaurants we have ever been to.

One can never go wrong eating at Al Saraceno! The food is delicious, characteristically Sicilian. and the views overlooking Taormina’s twinkling lights and Mt. Etna are one of the best views in the world from any restaurant. Alfio and all his staff, Are welcoming and offer top-notch service. Take the ride up to Castelmola it is definitely worth it!

Lage absolut wunderbar! Parken nur wenig - wir nahmen ein Taxi damit wir auch den Wein genießen konnten, sehr gewundene Straße. Essen gut aber nicht hervorragend. Wir haben mit 6 Personen und zwei Flaschen Wein €340 bezahlt - also im Rahmen für solche Location.

Splendida vista su Taormina, mare e tutta la porte della costa... Mangiare leggero, ben preparato, buon gusto, ben cotto e porzioni decenti e sazziabili... Cameriere attento, simpatico, gentile e anche da poter fare due chiacchiere... Splendido, non posso fare che raccomandarlo... Vale veramente la pena...

Location fantastica, i piatti di pesce sono molto buoni e presentati con gusto, il servizio è stato veloce, professionale e anche se il locale era pieno di gente piatti sono arrivati in tempi rapidi. Unica nota negativa la difficoltà nel trovare il parcheggio e la strada per arrivarci a piedi non è il massimo.

L’anipasto: misto frutti di mare, un piatto molto grasso, i frutti du mare serviti su patatine, topo snack.... una scella strana e mal sana del chef. L’insalata di polipo, pochissimi pezzi di polipo mescolati con patate bollite, il gusto lassciava desiderare.... Il primo: Spaghetti alle vongole, era molto buono. Il secondo : una grigliata di pesce misto, ci a dellusi. Il pesce sembrava scongelato! Avrei detto che gli alimenti sono stati piu tosto fritti che grigliati! In parte, la consistenza del pesce e stata un po « gommosa ». Il servizio : poco caloroso, senza un vero benvenuti! Mai piu ci ritorneremo!

Make sure you book a table as if you just turn up, you’ll probably be turned away like we were on our first visit, and they were quite rude about it. So we booked and gave them a second chance. The staff were friendly enough and the views were outstanding. Prices quite reasonable. However, I have Coeliac Disease so have to eat Gluten Free and I ordered the GF pizza. It was the worst pizza I’ve ever had. So dry and tasteless.

Nice restaurant with nice view of Mount Etna. Very good and friendly service. Though not the best food in Taormina, the quality and taste was very good. Considering the unique location of the restaurant, the experience is well worth the try.
