Al Saraceno

Everything was excellent; highly recommended. The food was impressive; not to be missed

Sono tutti tanto gentili. Molto buono tutti quello mangiato !

Excellent food in a beautiful location - Mt Etna erupting during dinner topped off the experience

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.

Lovely evening at the peak above Taormina. Food was lovely and the view was worth the trip.

great view; visit to church in the rock is a must

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.

What more could you want, an amazingly romantic venue with excellent service and food

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 :-)

excellent excellent excellent excellent excellent excellent excellent excellent excellent excellent excellent excellent excellent excellent excellent excellent

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.

We had a wonderful meal! I would highly recommend this place.

Great view, very good food and attentive service. I would come back

Incredible views and fantastic service - there was a large party who had booked out most of the restaurant but our waiter was fast and attentive.

You can’t fault the position and thankfully not the food drink or service either

Great food and fantastic views make it a worthwhile trip up from town! Was a highlight of trip. Give it a go...

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.

Beautiful view of the entire city of Taormina and Mount Etna. Food was delicious, the Caprese salad was as good as I’ve ever had.

İlgi ve ortam harika, deniz mahsulleri iyi, pizzası ortalama ...

Great food & amazing views. Highly recommended. Ask for a table on the terrace.

The best service food and view imaginable! You must come here!

Best restaurant in Taormina Great risotto, great staff Fantastic view

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!

Stunning view, great friendly service and delicious food! Would definitely recommend xx

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.

Food was the best we have tasted so far! Beautifully presented and very tasty. The walk up from the old town below is worth it!

We had a wonderful time and the service was excellent! It was our 25th anniversary and they treated us royally with a spectacular view table and a couple special treats during our meal. Thank you!

Great atmosphere, wonderful view and food was very tasty. Recommended to take a taxi, but or the car tonget there, because it is not located directly in the city centre.

Delicious authentic food in a beautiful atmosphere with a fabulous view. We had pasta with gamberi and grilled vegetables perfectly cooked. Local wine. Reasonable price and accomodating service.

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...

Stunning views, relaxed service, yummy desserts and very reasonably priced. Good selection of pizzas and pastas. Worth asking for a table outside close to the railings for the very best views.

A beautiful location, friendly’ welcoming staff. Excellent food and service. The perfect way to spend our last night on Sicily. We would highly recommend it.

Spectacular views over Etna at sunset. The food was okay but this place is all about their unrivalled outlook. Take a walk up the steps from Taormina to work up an appetite.

Bel locale, vista mozzafiato. Atmosfera rilassante e cibo molto buono. Ma soprattutto cordialità e simpatia del personale. Ci ritornerò sicuramente. Ottimo il servizio di prenotazione on line.

Really beautiful views and great pizza, cheap wine and a lovely atmosphere

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!

Soddisfatto in tutte le aspettative, location favolosa, cibo ottimo con scelte di prima qualità, ottimo anche l’impiattamento e la presentazione, servizio impeccabile. Nonostante il tempo non era dei migliori serata magica.. grazie! 😊

Great meal didn’t know up 600 steps so get a taxi. Saying that I’d walk it again for a meal there it was amazing views and food to match.

Posto bellissimo con una vista spettacolare... cibo ottimo e servizio cordialissimo... abbiamo ordinato gli spaghetti ai ricci e maccheroncini alla norma e per secondo gli involtini di pesce spada...abbiamo pagato 70€ prezzo proporzionato sia alla qualità che al posto

Ottima cena in uno scenario mozzafiato, antipasti di pesce molto fresco, spaghetti allo scoglio ottimi e abbondanti, pasta con spada pinoli e uvette buonissima. Personale molto cortese.

très bien parfait tout très bien ambiance nourriture personnel cela allait très bien avec ce que nous voulions on est très bien de ce resto

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.

Food was good, not outstanding. Views great, but lacking a little in atmosphere. If you are staying down in the town, worth the climb, prices very reasonable.

Beautiful setting with stunning views of thr bay, attentive staff, great food, especially the fish dishes. Definitely worth travelling up to if you are staying down in the town.

Posto incantevole ma un po’ fuori consiglio di arrivare presto per trovare posto per parcheggiare menu di pesce abbastanza vario tipico siciliano costi medio alto due antipasti tre primi un secondo due dolci vino della casa 1/2lt acqua una coca due dolci due caffè un lemoncello 130 euro personale gentile cibo squisito consiglio l antipasto saraceno piacevolmente soddisfatti

The restaurant is in a wonderful position overlooking the town and beyond. Good friendly service and the food is of high quality. I would definitely recommend.

The view and the food were great! It was really worth the long climb from town. We started with a clam and mussel appetizer and then had pizza and branzino and both were cooked very well

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.

Breathtaking views of Mount Etna and Taormina, food was mouthwatering and service was very good. Highly recommended, ideally with a car as there is a long way up
