La Grotta Azzurra - TAORMINA

We ask for a rissotto, some tagliattelle of gosgonzola and octopus and all goodies. homemade food. all excellent. highly recommended.

Świetne jedzenie, świeże owoce morza, obsługa bardzo miła, świetne podejście do dzieci. Polecam

In this place in the center of taormina we ate well and with abundant portions. Unfortunately there were some in, the lack of qr Menù but above all the presence of ancients. heavy and little presentable traditional menus and staff, everything and everywhere, though kind and courteous, without mask.

We visited for lunch we were really disappointed. The waiter/owner was very abrupt and unwelcoming. We were given dry bread, no butter or olive oil. We were abruptly told one dish had finished my husband was rushed to order an alternative. The waitress was yelling very loudly aggressively in the kitchen it made the atmosphere tense not relaxing. We waited 15 minutes for our drinks about 45 minutes for our meal to arrive. It was not even fresh pasta. We saw them bringing dried pasta into the restaurant for the meals! My swordfish was average I had asked if it came with veg. The waiter told me it did but it only came with dried up lettuce! Totally over priced terrible service.

The food was good, however, the service minimal to rude .. particularly the woman who took payment. When I asked what the first charge of 6 euros was on the bill, she claimed it was a cover charge and that all restaurants charged it. Actually .. no they don’t. If so, perhaps it’s hidden but I’ve not seen it previously. I didn’t complain, just asked. Then she proceeded to tell me it was for table cloths, napkins, etc. What?! That’s the cost of doing business and customers don’t ask you to use these things, that’s a restaurants choice. With all the options in this town, we won’t return there. Obviously they don’t rely on repeat service and treat tourists as one time customers.
