Such a perfect restaurant, the view is breath taking, service impeccable, it’s was our 10th wedding anniversary so complimentary champagne was given to us on arrival which was a lovely touch. The food was sensational, I can recommend the ravioli. Both my husband and I said one of the best restaurants we have ever been to.

Beautiful view of the entire city of Taormina and Mount Etna. Food was delicious, the Caprese salad was as good as I’ve ever had.

One can never go wrong eating at Al Saraceno! The food is delicious, characteristically Sicilian. and the views overlooking Taormina’s twinkling lights and Mt. Etna are one of the best views in the world from any restaurant. Alfio and all his staff, Are welcoming and offer top-notch service. Take the ride up to Castelmola it is definitely worth it!

Lage absolut wunderbar! Parken nur wenig - wir nahmen ein Taxi damit wir auch den Wein genießen konnten, sehr gewundene Straße. Essen gut aber nicht hervorragend. Wir haben mit 6 Personen und zwei Flaschen Wein €340 bezahlt - also im Rahmen für solche Location.

Splendida vista su Taormina, mare e tutta la porte della costa... Mangiare leggero, ben preparato, buon gusto, ben cotto e porzioni decenti e sazziabili... Cameriere attento, simpatico, gentile e anche da poter fare due chiacchiere... Splendido, non posso fare che raccomandarlo... Vale veramente la pena...

Stunning views, relaxed service, yummy desserts and very reasonably priced. Good selection of pizzas and pastas. Worth asking for a table outside close to the railings for the very best views.

Spectacular views over Etna at sunset. The food was okay but this place is all about their unrivalled outlook. Take a walk up the steps from Taormina to work up an appetite.

Location fantastica, i piatti di pesce sono molto buoni e presentati con gusto, il servizio è stato veloce, professionale e anche se il locale era pieno di gente piatti sono arrivati in tempi rapidi. Unica nota negativa la difficoltà nel trovare il parcheggio e la strada per arrivarci a piedi non è il massimo.

L’anipasto: misto frutti di mare, un piatto molto grasso, i frutti du mare serviti su patatine, topo snack.... una scella strana e mal sana del chef. L’insalata di polipo, pochissimi pezzi di polipo mescolati con patate bollite, il gusto lassciava desiderare.... Il primo: Spaghetti alle vongole, era molto buono. Il secondo : una grigliata di pesce misto, ci a dellusi. Il pesce sembrava scongelato! Avrei detto che gli alimenti sono stati piu tosto fritti che grigliati! In parte, la consistenza del pesce e stata un po « gommosa ». Il servizio : poco caloroso, senza un vero benvenuti! Mai piu ci ritorneremo!

Make sure you book a table as if you just turn up, you’ll probably be turned away like we were on our first visit, and they were quite rude about it. So we booked and gave them a second chance. The staff were friendly enough and the views were outstanding. Prices quite reasonable. However, I have Coeliac Disease so have to eat Gluten Free and I ordered the GF pizza. It was the worst pizza I’ve ever had. So dry and tasteless.

Food was good, not outstanding. Views great, but lacking a little in atmosphere. If you are staying down in the town, worth the climb, prices very reasonable.

Nice restaurant with nice view of Mount Etna. Very good and friendly service. Though not the best food in Taormina, the quality and taste was very good. Considering the unique location of the restaurant, the experience is well worth the try.

My partner and I very much enjoyed our dinner at Al Saraceno. We felt very welcome on arrival, and were seated at a table with breathtaking sunset views of Etna and the Ionian coast. The food itself was equally spectacular and very satisfying. The staff were very friendly and patient. I would definitely recommend this restaurant, as our experience was excellent!

Fantastic location. Great choice of food. Good wine list. Staff very helpful and attentive. Prices very acceptable. About 2 miles out of Taormina up a steep hill so you will probably need a taxi. Taxi prices are a rip off. €20 each way!
