Taormina Eating And Drinking, Italy

Taormina, this heavenly, holiday place, makes you want to “take it easy”, slowly taking in the beauties of the city and the intense flavors of the place.

Your breakfast will begin with a tasty, energizing granita al caffè con panna (crushed ice coffee with whipped cream), and a typically Sicilian sweetmeat if you want, filled with ricotta cheese.

There is a wide choice of first courses in Taormina and we suggest you try a simple pasta sauce that is used often here on pasta, made from tomatoes, capers, basil and anchovies.

Taormina, which has an ideal geographical position between the land and the sea, allows you to choose both meat, which you must try in one of the several trattorie on the slopes of Mount Etna, and fish.

We recommend you try one of the little restaurants in Giardini Naxos, on the beaches near the port, where you can enjoy a splendid view, and taste the fish-based dishes.

A typical wine of the area around Taormina, from Castelmola, is almond wine, a white wine served cool to accompany desserts.
