Taormina — Where We Ate & Drank
We ate at 5 restaurants in Taormina—from Vineria Modì to trattoria classics like Le Tre Vie. Here's where we found the best food between the Greek theater and the bay.
Taormina stacks a Greek theater, Etna smoking on the horizon, and Belmond's twin dolce-vita hotels—the Timeo beside the ruins, Villa Sant'Andrea on the bay—into one improbable clifftop. We stayed at 3 hotels and ate at 5 restaurants, running trattoria-simple on purpose: Le Tre Vie's pastas, Vineria Modì's wine-bar warmth, granita at every pause. April, May or October; summer belongs to the crowds now.
