"Superb Sicilian cuisine!! We drove to Castelmola on the recommendation of our hotel. Upon arrival at the top, there is a restaurant busy with tourists on a viewing platform...ignore it! Continue in Castelmola and you come across Gallo Cedrone. Ricardo was an amazing cook/host that is very passionate about eating. We had a pizza and the eggplant abomatin with Parmesan. Bruchetta as a start was a pleasure to load olive oil and beautiful tomatoes with warm crunchy bread. Simple Sicilian food made to an incredibly high standard, with a beautiful view of Etna. Best restaurant in Sicily so far"

"All right: the place is really nice, friendly and helpful staff, we ate very well, meatballs, cannoli, everything. but the absolute protagonists of the dinner were them: the macaroni to the black pig spider and ****. I think this dish fits into my top ten of favorite foods. absolutely nothing to say. exceptional."

"Despite its location in what feels like the Olive Garden's interpretation of authentic Sicily, tourist mecca Taormina, I had a really good experience at Rosmarino. There were no tables available but we were able to put our name in for 45 minutes later during what would typically be peak dinner time, although this is after the cruise ship crowd clears out of town. Luckily, Rosmarino is situated directly across the street from Taormina's public gardens so it was a pleasant wait. A table on the terrace allowed us to continue enjoying the view during dinner. What I ate was excellent. While I was too busy enjoying my meal to make detailed observations, I can wholeheartedly recommend both the caserecce al sugo (fresh handmade pasta in pork ragu) and rotolini alla messinese (beef involtini with cheese and breadcrumb filling)."

"Ero in questo trattore da remoto quando lo gestivo era ancora Mr. Nino: la classica trattoria con cucina tipica siciliana, dove si poteva mangiare bene a prezzi accettabili. diciassette anni dopo, la gestione dei locali è il nipote, che ha sapientemente ristrutturato l'interno, ma ha avuto la gentilezza di lasciare il vecchio insegnamento, per voler sigillare una certa continuità con il passato, rinnovandosi. il risultato è comunque eccellente: cucina a livelli molto alti, porzioni giuste ma sicuramente non si esce da qui con fame, personale attento e cortese. Siamo stati qui nella serata di Capodanno e quindi c'era la fine dell'anno menu per guardare così tanti ma è stato denaro speso davvero bene, sono sicuro che il nino sarà molto orgoglioso di suo nipote per come sta gestendo questa attività storica di taormina. menzione speciale per il semifreddo agli agrumi che è tra i migliori dolci che ho mangiato qui in Sicilia"
