Rosticceria Da Cristina

Maybe one of the few places in Taormina with a good price-quantity-quality ratio.
I have tried pizza with mortadella and pistacchio it looks and tastes even better.
Overall a good place to eat, came back the next day

Rosticceria Da Cristina is a must-visit spot in Taormina if you're craving authentic Sicilian street food. I had the pleasure of trying their arancini, and it was simply fabulous. The crispy, golden exterior gave way to a perfectly cooked, flavorful filling that was both rich and satisfying. It’s clear that they use high-quality ingredients and take great care in their preparation.

The place itself has a charming, unpretentious vibe, making it perfect for a quick bite or a casual meal. Despite its popularity, the service was quick and friendly, with the staff making sure I had everything I needed. If you're in Taormina and want to taste some of the best arancini around, Rosticceria Da Cristina is the place to go!

Best arancini we’ve ever had! We strongly suggest the pistacchio ones which have pistacchi, ham and cheese! We also had the parmigiana which was delicious! A must visit when in Taormina!

Amazing Arancini!! The best I've ever had. The only problem now if I get arancini anywhere else it's never as good 😅

Did we have arancini for breakfast? Yes. Do we regret it? No. Would we do it again? Yes. Rosticceria Da Cristina lived up to the hype and I recommend you try at least two of the flavours...and a Pizza. We spoke to the owner and he mentioned that the shop started selling bread in the 80s and then pizzas soon after however it was the aranchini that really set them apart from the competition. Now I know why! You must come here.

This place is a must eat at in Taoermina. We went twice in two days and still want more. Get the arancini and you’re in for a treat! My favorite was the eggplant one, I highly recommend it!

Excellent street food with reasonable prices! A bit crowded but service is quick and still very nice.

The best pizza and arancini we have tried during our stay in Sicily. The place is usually very busy, but it is worth it.

We ate a slice of marguerita pizza and another of delicious tuna, with high crust. A very good spaghetti carretiera too. I recommend it! The place is simple but the food is very good! There is a very nice small terrace outside, better than inside. The place inside is good but the kitchen is open to the side and you take in all the smell but it is worth it

Loved the location (next to San Domenico Hotel). Arancini are amazing. Ragu and burro are the best. Definitely a must go if you come in Taormina.

Must try in Sicily they have the best arancini!!!!

Great pizza slices, arancini and delicious parmigiana. We were there 3 times and each time all the food was delicious and at a reasonable price. Each pizza we tried was tasty, but we highly recommend norma and potato one. I would also recommend to try scaciatte (we are with spinach and mozzarella, very good!) and pasta sfoglia. Parmigiana, despite being reheated, was also super moist and flavorfull with lots of aubergine slices. They also have great drinks and the staff is nice.

Incredibly tasty food and the prices are super reasonable. Arancini with Ragú and with Pistachio were both amazing. It gets very crowded.

Delicious, cheap, friendly people. Definitely stop by if you want the best Sicilian specialties. The arancini were still coming out hot of the kitchen at 11pm.
Our friends had a pizza slice and salad and that was great too. The drinks are super cheap too. 3 euro for a beer!

The reviews are spot on. Best Arancini I’ve ever had and pizza was superb as well. Great staff, take a number and read the menu ahead of time to decide what you want to order. It’s always busy! Tables outside on the deck or inside. Full bar and drinks. Don’t miss the pistachio arancini.

The best arancino in taormina!! We went back 3 times because it was so good! I recommend!!!

Amazing Arancini’s at a good price. The best in Sicily! We had the classic meat one and the pistachio one. Both were very good, hot and tasty. Only downside is that they make you pay for forks however the traditional way is to eat with your hands

The best arancini we had in Taormina!! Good size, good amount of saucy flavourful filling. If you like a drier arancini or less filling inside then these aren’t for you, but these are absolutely delicious. Highly recommend the ragù and the eggplant ones.

I paid this wonderfull pizza and americano 4 euros.Pizza's taste was amazing therefore i generally pay 4 euro for only pistachio where my hometown is 😀also they have sitting area outside and free wifi.Highly recommended

I'm half Sicilian and I grew up eating arancini. I can undoubtedly say that Rosticceria Da Cristina has the best arancini I've ever had in my life. Every type of arancini I had was incredible and nothing comes close. My wife and I decided to have dinner here even though it's a takeaway place with limited seating. The place is packed every time we went, but it was worth it. I can't recommend this place enough.
