This place is simply great, wander down the Corsa Umberto and stop off at this wonderful little bar. Look out for the brightly coloured furniture under the lovely glass canopy take a seat order beer and bruschetta and watch the world (and the people go by) it doesn't get much better than this.
Been visiting for a number of years and always get a great welcome as well as good food and excellent drinks at very reasonable price. If you're very lucky you may catch the owner practicing the piano in the early evening. He's concert standard but very humble about his ability.
Emphasis on Sicilian. A great place for substantial snacks, such as bruschettas and sandwiches. All ingredients are sourced locally and are chosen for freshness and high quality. Beverages are reasonably priced. Service is cheerful and helpful.
Favourite bar in Taormina that became like our local on our 10 day trip. Gorgeous little place done out in a quirky homely way inside, or seats outside to watch the craziness of Corso Umberto. Excellent selection of drinks and good simple food for lunch or a relaxed dinner.Friendly and professional staff headed up by an amazing couple - Sicilian Tano and his English wife Lynne - we were made to feel very at home. They were also our saviours when we lost our apartment keys to the bottom of the sea, and had no money or phones! Cannot recommend this place highly enough to anyone visiting Taormina.
Perfect for a lite lunch. Have a cold draft beer and Panni sandwich or salad. YummyThe price is right as well
If you're walking through Corso Umberto, want to eat great food and have a nice and charming staff then the best place in Corso is Re di Bastoni. It's staff is so friendly and they speak English. It has nice decor and great jazz music. If you want to chill, Re di Bastoni is a place to be!
we popped in Re di Bastoni for a midday snack, food was fresh and a well sized portion. it's a cosy little place with these little stools and tables. worth visiting.
We visited Taormina on our honeymoon and found this fabulous little bar on our first night. What a fantastic little bar! We felt so welcome by the owner Tano and his partner Lin and excellent staff including Manuel and sara, they do gorgeous food, great beer and the best mojito's and frozen strawberry daiquiri's and margarita's I have ever tasted! Brilliant music impeccable service and fabulous company. Needless to say we returned every night, and hopefully will visit again in the future! Highly recommend!!! Thank you so much guys!!
Highly recommended for many reasons (in no particular order); friendly, personable & informative staff who are more than happy to spend time chatting and describing the local wines on offer, simple yet delicious, fresh food; perfect location for people watching (you can easily spend hours doing this!) and if you're really lucky the owner, the fabulous Tano will get on the piano and play until he runs out of steam. Lynne, Tano, Emanuel and the lovely lady whose name we can't remember (too much vino bianco!) - we'll definately see you all next year! Best Wishes from Nick & Cathy xx
We stopped in for a beer while the rain passed and were impressed with the nice beers offered, and each in a different style of appropriate German glass/pilsner/goblet. The seating is a bit cramped but there was plenty of it! A good pub on a very busy tourist street. Still, you were never ignored. Nice.
