ONLY THE BEST IN SICILY and other Taormina, Italy Restaurant Reviews

Restaurant Name: Ristorante "La Buca"

When dining in Taormina, look for a restaurant that has an outside patio with table that have a view of the sea below. The meal will seem ten times better due to the rush of goodfeel the sea and the climbing hills to where you sit befall your senses. La Buca is such a place and well worth waiting for a table by the wall outside. The ambience of smiling faces at all the tables, filled with laughter and hearts full of song, keeps this restaurant in good standing. The dishes of sicily are the main attraction, even if the view gets a 5-star review. Add a good Sicilian wine and you too will be enamored. The best review is to say, "I am returning".

Favorite Dish: Involtini is a Sicilian specialty and should be tried. Pieces of veal rolled with one of many foods stuffed inside, from cheeses to hams, stuck four to a stick placed in a fryng pan dripping with hot olive oil and cooked to a golden brown perfection. Once you have tasted the flavors and commented on the ease in which your mouth succumbed to the delicate dish, you are hooked. Not found in too many restaurants outside of Sicily.

Restaurant Name: SAINT HONORE

A bar, pasticceria, gelateria, tavola calda, produzione propria of the finest desserts. Saint Honore is a name for bakery shops throughout the world. This Saint Honore sits on the main street of Taormina and as the town itself is a storybook local, so is the Saint Honore. It fulfills the pangs of thirst and hunger as well as quelling the sweet tooth. In the tiny space of sitting, due to the enormous display cases filled with the foods and desserts of Sicily, one can partake of many different tastes. Try to get a table, so that you can enjoy the flavors in a relaxed manner over an espresso.

Favorite Dish: What is being in Sicily without having a cannoli. These little gems of rolled pastry filled with riccotta cheese that has a flavoring from amaretto to vanilla, mixed with pieces of nuts, fruit, or chocolate served plain or coated in powered sugar or chocolate is pastry heaven.
