Trattoria Don Ciccio

Excellent restaurant with delicious food, genuine Italian/Sicilian athmosphere and gery friendly, helpful staff. Highly recommended

My husband, I and friends had a wonderful lunch at Don Ciccio’s back in October. Food was phenomenal and service above and beyond! Thank you for such a wonderful memory to add to our trip!

We were really happy with the spaghetti, casarecce, and cozze prepate. True trattoria experience. No frills and lots of flavor

An unforgettable meal and experience in Taormina. Davide took care of us like we were in his own home. We left it up to him to bring 4 of his favorite pastas and they didn't disappoint. I'll be dreaming of the ravioli in pistachio cream and the anchovy pasta. Food was the best we had in Taormina and so was the service. The moment we told him that our friends just got married, he brought us a round of drinks to celebrate. Will be back again and again plus send everyone we know! Thank you Davide! Cheers!

The food here was simple and super charming + you get a glass of complementary prosecco. I got grilled salmon and insalata don ciccio, both were delicious. We got a parmigiana to share which was nice but very rich. My mum ordered a pasta with sea urchin which was a bit fishy for her liking, but all the other dishes were very nice and service was good though could sometimes be a little bit slow. I recommend coming for dinner when the weather is much cooler to sit outside.

We enjoyed a wonderful quiet dinner at this restaurant. It is located a little way off the crush of the crowds on Corso Emmanuele which means you can sit and hear the soft evening sounds of city around you. Our server was very helpful and accommodating. We received a welcoming small glass of prosecco and a cheese toast. Appetizers chosen were tomato soup (amazing!), a selection of cheeses, and grilled vegetables. Mains were Pasta con le Sarde, spaghetti con vongole, spaghetti allo scoglio, and stinco maiale (roasted pork knuckle.) Our server suggested a Sicilian wine that was delicious. Wow what a meal!

Nice Spot - perfect cuisine! Not the typical tourist restaurant. If you are interested in quality, check it out right here and you won’t be disappointed. All credentials fresh and tasty.
So is their Negroni! :)

Best place to eat in Taormina! In the center but away from all the noise and crowd, with a free glass of Prosecco upon arrival, very friendly host explained in detail the starter (platter) and checked on us continuously. Very reasonably priced, except the desserts. Would definitely go back!

Very good! It was a nice surprise to be welcomed by a small glass of house prosecco! Which obviously made me order a glass (which turned out to be huge!)
I was in doubt of the carbonara or the tortellini with cheese and pistachio filling. As suggested by the waiter I went for the latter. It was super tasty.. perhaps just had a bit less salt than I prefer! But I trust the chef!
Would come back!

Excellent food. Homey atmosphere. Emanuele was very kind to us. Great experience.

Perfect early dinner, complimentary Prosecco, silent street and really good foods.Liguini vongole!

Just amazing! Amazing food (we had the past mari e monti and the scaloppine al marsala plus some cannoli), amazing music (blues) and amazing service! Also in a quiet part of Taormina, away from the busy and noisy main street. Will definately come again!

Great place and we had the beast meal in taormina. The prices do not reflect the quality. The atmosphere were great and service was great.

We had the ravioli and bolognese. The only reason I rate them 4 on food is because they had some desserts listed on the menu that were not available.

This restaurant is quite a gem. After a long day of sightseeing this little jewel was a hidden Oasis. They served us complimentary prosecco at the beginning of our dining experience and lemoncello after our dinner while we waited for the cab that they so politely called for us. The service was amazing and the pasta was just about the best I've ever tasted. They provided great Sicilian hospitality. I can't wait to visit again.

Measured up to my expectations to the max. Not cheap but worth every penny. Great dinner and excellent service!

The food was amazing! The service and ambience also amazing! Best pasta I have had in the 7 weeks we have been travelling. Capanata, caprese salad off the charts.

Simply superb! Excellent Sicilian food and service. I've eaten here twice in my time in Taormina and it beats most of the tourist food on the main Corso Umberto and is an excellent value. You are doing yourself a disservice if you don't try this place before leaving Taormina.

Cozy restaurant on a side street away, but not too far, from the tourist hell. Enjoyed our lunch here, food was tasty, and portion sizes exactly what we expected for the price.

Excellent local food for a great price. We chose rissoto alla mare and Tagliatella Don Ciccio and it was just amazing. The price is also reasonable. 100% recommendable

My go-to restaurant in Taormina. Always terrific food, wonderful service, super ambience and a relaxed setting. Asked for a recommendation on the wine and was not disappointed. Don Ciccio's sets the bar which other restaurants should aspire to reach. I first ate at this restaurant in 2015, have returned many times since and it has never disappointed. I thoroughly recommend it.
