Osteria Nero d'Avola

Definitely must try place in Taormina! Taste of the food is amazing especially we loved shrimps so fresh and tasty. The waiters are super nice and professional.. prices are a bit higher than average but it is normal for this michelin guided restaurant, definitely worth it! If we will be in Taormina later, it is in our number one place to go for a dinner.. Thank you for everything, it was a tasteful experience :)

We visited this restaurant on 3rd September 2023 following recommendations from guide books. The restaurant is located near the Duomo near the upscale Four Seasons White Lotus hotel. The place was quite quiet it could be due to its location. We were given a nice table on the terrace. The service from start to finish was great. The menu was large and there were many choices. All the food we ate was delicious and very large portions. One dish each and one to share is enough for two people. Highly recommend this place!

TL;DR: Beautiful restauraunt with great Sicilian food and service at a slightly higher price range. Definitely worth a visit for a romantic dinner or a treat! First and foremost, these are Sicilian portions!! Bring your appetite and order with this in mind! We enjoyed beautiful Sicilian fare and service, all the waters were fluent in English (bonus) and their hospitality and recommendations were top notch. Highly recommend the peppered mussels and clams to start, but be aware it's a Big portion (easily 1.5-2kgs). We also really enjoyed the fish fillet gratin, a preparation we hadn't seen in Sicily yet - they nailed it! After dinner we sought a recommendation for digestives and were provided some amazing Sicilian Amaro options to choose from. We had the Segesto and sugar free (natural) one. Both were delicious although the latter is not for the faint hearted! Whilst it's a bit more expensive here, it's definitely worth at least one visit. For awareness, the smaller things you might not have elsewhere add up here. Cover (€3 pp), Water, the wine by the glass was a bit more expensive here - go for a bottle if you like wine! Would definitely return to try the other deliciousness on offer.

Great food and general experience. The tuna was so fresh and rich, and the raw red prawns was also amazing. One of the best tiramisu we've tried in sicily - for those who like it with extra coffee and a pinch of chocolate 🙏 It took a little too long for the food to arrive, though. But when it did everything was great.

A culinary treat, just off the main strip of Taormina. A tightly controlled menu still offers a wide array of tastes and flavours, complimented by some full bodied, local wines. The red tuna with onions in particular was a succulent delight from first mouthful to last. Although not the cheapest, and sadly finished with a slightly dry dessert, this remained comfortably the best meal we had in town over our stay.

This place is the place for great food. The pasta was the best we had and the wines too. Definitely worth a try. It is not cheap but compared to the rest it is worth the prices charged.

Very very good. Cool place to eat. Staff attentive and competent. Not too expensive. Nice food served by noce people.

Very very good typical Sicilian food and the best service, quite elegant street vibe. The Free olive oil,bread,dry tomatoes and olives for starter is very good quality! Just need to come and enjoy the food here!
