What a total mixed bag experience! In short: theres other consistently good restaurants in taormina with better service. But I can tell you what is good and not good about our experience. One- the host/ manager is lacked hospitality upon welcoming. We were going up to the door and he loudly says no more tables left no more tables left. Like sir, we have a reservation. The atmosphere was lovely, the restaurant glassware and plateware is beautiful. And then we went received the appetizer- octopus, amazing, and the pasta lamb ravioli was amazing too! The burst of flavor in your mouth I can still recall. And if we had stopped there, we would have been happy. But then, the fish came. First I SMELLED it before seeing it, pungent, and fresh fish does not smell. I took a bite and it was inedible. I never in my memory have returned a dish of food, but I had to, i probably would've gotten sick from eating it. I let the manager/ host know and he was offended. Saying things like we only serve fresh fish, and arguing about it lol. While the smell of it was lingering there amongst us. He swapped it out for the other fish which was a swordfish, that one didn't smell it was ok, with a mushroom sauce. So if you want to enjoy your meal here just have the appetizer and pasta, skip the entree. Its too bad the lack of hospitality and accountability, this had been the third Michelin restaurant of the week and I have never been through anything remotely like this. And I'd probably go back if they just apologized and moved on, but the host kept saying things and trying to defend the smelly fish. I will say though, The sommelier was very kind and so was our waiter. I recall spending 144 euro for my meal.
