Pizzeria Menta E Peperoncino

My sister and I enjoyed a delicious and typically Italian light Italian lunch in this delightful cafe/restaurant/pizzeria in the lovely piazza close the cathedral in the hill town of Castelmola, high above Taormina. The snacks we enjoyed were wholesome and much appreciated. It made a lovely stop with good food and we also appreciated the cooling breeze which was welcome in the hot days of summer.

We've spent there 2 hours on a rainy day, It was really great and the guy who welcomed us was really nice as well. We ordered the cold cuts for appetizer and it was enormous, too much even for two. The main courses were good as well, I had shrimp with pasta which I can only recommend. The beer and the wine were also great so all in all I can recommend this place. Maybe a bit pricey but to us it was worth it. At the end when I got the business card from the owner ? I was surprised to see that it goes by a Pizzeria name because there were no pizzas on the menü, maybe they changed profile. The lights were a bit blue tinted, so all our photos has that as well :

Good choice for lunch. The location is very nice, with some tables in the piazza. We had an excellent pizza, beer and sangria. The owner came out and gave nice prunes from his garden to every customer. They tasted beautiful.

Popped in for an evening pizza. You can't beat the location and the vibe around the crowded square at night was great. The pizza was fine but nothing life changing average in price for the area. I thought the bottle of beer a bit pricey though.

This place seemed to be run by a husband and wife and they are lovely.. Pizza is excellent and its always busy. In my opinion worth the wait.... Sit in the square..enjoy a glass of wine and watch the world go by. Really friendly people and full f locals which is always a good sign
