Malvasia

We stumbled upon this gem during our trip, and it turned out to be one of the best meals we’ve had. The cozy ambiance, tasteful decoration and attentive staff made the dining experience delightful. The service was not just efficient but also genuinely pleasant. What sets this place apart is its focus on quality over quantity, especially in a touristy location. The delicious food clearly reflects their commitment to freshness and authenticity. Highly recommend for a memorable dining experience.

This restaurant, the food, service and staff was the best experience we’ve had in our two week trip around Sicily. The food was delicious and the best we’ve had. The owner was very attentive and kind as was the service. I highly recommend a reservation as it is popular, amongst tourists and locals. Shout out to the owner, Fabrizio and his mama for making this place marvelous. Try the lemon pasta! But you can’t go wrong with any of the items on the menu. Fantastic food and experience in Taormina and very reasonably priced.

Dining at Malvasia was a highlight that I'll fondly remember. The standout dish for me was the 'frutti de mare' seafood pasta, which was nothing short of delightful. Its creamy texture and rich flavor, achieved without the addition of butter, cream, or cheese, displayed the chef's mastery in balancing healthiness with taste. Our meal commenced with the traditional bread basket served with olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Although the bread was a tad dry, this was a minor oversight in an otherwise exemplary dining experience. The staff at Malvasia were outstanding, demonstrating a remarkable level of service-mindedness and helpfulness that added to the enjoyment of our meal. The pricing was quite reasonable, with the main course priced at EUR 22, a glass of wine for EUR 5, and a refreshing tomato salad for just EUR 4. Malvasia in Taormina is a must-visit for anyone looking for an exceptional culinary experience. The combination of delicious food, attentive service, and great value ensures my return on my next trip to Taormina.

The best dinner in Taormina! We were looking for a place to eat and we came across this little restaurant. We had the spaghetti alla vongole and the linguine frutti di mare together with a tomato salad and as a desert the tiramisu. We highly recommend everything! The food was amazing and the atmosphere very cozy. We sat next to the owner and his mother. We chatted and he treated us to a delicious desert wine. So, if you are looking for a cozy place and not too expensive yet tasty food, go here!

We wanted a place that served good pasta and we accidentally found Malvasia. Oh boy, it was a great accident. The special, Rivoli de Crostacei, was amazing. My wife got the Risotto Al Frutri di Mare and it was perfect. We topped dinner off with a perfectly cooked Cortoletta. The meal came to around 60EUR which we thought was fair given the amount of food we had. The serving portions are large so you will feel full and happy.

01/11/2023 Every dish we’ve tried had something really special; intriguing special; it’s that taste that makes you crave for more. The first time we were impressed by the taste of the special dish Ravioli di crostacei con gamberetti e pistacchio and the grilled crumbled langoustine with a pinch of lemon. The second time that we went here I was absolutely amazed by the special dish LINGUINE AL LIMONE- it went in so much that I couldn't help but ask for a second portion.
