"We had the pleasure of returning to the Ristorante Granduca in Taormina, and once again, the experience was excellent in every way.The setting is beautiful, offering an elegant yet relaxed atmosphere, surrounded by greenery with wonderful sea views. It’s the perfect place for a romantic dinner or a special occasion with friends.The service was impeccable: staff were courteous, attentive, and professional from start to finish, always ready with helpful suggestions without ever being intrusive.
The dishes were beautifully presented, combining Sicilian tradition with modern creativity. From starters to mains, everything was well-executed, using high-quality ingredients and refined pairings.
The pasta was perfectly cooked, the fish prepared with great skill, the meat delicate and flavorful, and the desserts well-balanced and satisfying. This is clearly a kitchen that knows what it’s doing and delivers with consistency.
In short, Granduca is a safe choice in Taormina: professionalism, quality, kindness, and a beautiful setting make it a restaurant we would confidently recommend."

"Me and my fiance ate at this restaurant to round off the final day of our holiday to Sicily.

To start I ordered mussels and my fiance ordered a lasagne-like dish. Both of which were a good start to the meal.

For our mains we ordered the steak and also a swordfish dish. The swordfish was light and had a lot of flavour.

The steak however was a bit of a let down. We ordered it medium rare and it came well done. We overheard another table making the same observation so maybe the chef always cooks the steak this way. The steak also came with some vegetables which didn’t pair well at all with the steak. It felt like the same vegetables from the swordfish dish were lifted and shifted onto the steak dish.

For desert we had the profiteroles, which were solid.

Overall, the experience was good. I wouldn’t consider this restaurant the best we went to in Sicily but it was the more expensive.

I would recommend others come to the restaurant to experience a flavour of fine dining in Sicily."

"My wife and I went for lunch. We shared the prosciutto and melon and it very good. We then each had pasta and we were not disappointed although my gnocchi were a bit salty. Both deserts were very good. We did not have the pizza but it smelled good. The staff was overall ok but not overly friendly. The view was very nice. For lunch, I was satisfied although I cannot say it was the best restaurant I ever ate."
