Trattoria Il Vicolo

Hike up Castlemole (or take the bus) and then wander until you arriveat this gem of a restaurant, complete with a cozy outdoor balcony. We had the balcony to ourselves. It felt like eating lunch at your favorite Italian aunt's house. The swordfish was great, eggplant, pasta... all wonderful and flavorful.

Loved this place, OPEN ALSO DURING THE AFTERNOON, amazing food and pleasant service! I totally recommend it, don't go anywhere else if you're in Castelmola.

This was our best meal of our three weeks in italy. Everything we had was cooked perfectly!

The food here is amazing! Fresh pasta with delicious flavours. Our waitress was very friendly. We had the tagliatelle with shrimp and pistachio and the maccheroni all norma. Both were excellent! Reasonable prices as well

Friendly service with reasonable pricing. Gluten free options are available including bread. Seafood is recommended!

Have visited Trattoria Vicolo, Castelmola each time we’re in Taormina. Each time the food has been very good. Today I ordered Spaghetti Carbonara. If you’re expecting the rich source type of Carbonara then you might be very well surprised. It’s the genuine kind of Carbonara here. That you should expect in Sicily. For desert we shared Semi Freddo. It was really good! It’s made the period around Christmas. My wife ordered the Vegetable Soup. Once again it was very tasty, couldn’t be happier. The service was very good, no real surprise though. It’s worth the bus trip from Taormina to try this place.

After two weeks in Taormina, we discovered this hidden gem on our last day and what a wonderful surprise! The warm, welcoming atmosphere created by the kind family who runs the place made us feel right at home. The food was exactly what we needed: comforting and full of flavor. The vegetable soup was absolutely delicious, the lamb cotoletta was tender and perfectly cooked, and the tagliatelle and swordfish rolls were just fantastic. On top of all that, the prices were the best we found in Taormina — great quality without the tourist mark-up. I only wish we had found this place sooner! Highly recommended.

The drive up to this restaurant was as enjoyable as our meal! Wonderful views, a very attentive and engaging staff, and multiple entrees - each totally delightful. You must also know that the prices here are exceptionally reasonable. A place you should experience.
