As a strong fan of the movie « Le Grand Bleu » we originally came in San Domenico to discover this mythic place. We thus booked a table at Principe Cerami to stay a bit more time there, it was just the perfect idea. Incredible restaurant ideally situated with an incredible view on the rest of the city. The service was just amazing with a team very professional and open to discuss with us to tell us the story of this wonderful hotel. The food was just delicious from the starter to the coffee. Thanks a lot, it definitely kept in mind

It should have been amazing. I had been wanting to go for a long time. Unfortunately there were 2 very noisy small children allowed to run around in the restaurant and play with the chairs. It completely ruined what should have been a good evening sadly. The staff were kind but they should not allow small children here. It was a disaster at a cost of nearly 450€ with tips. Such a huge shame.
Principe CeramiResponded on 30 March 2023
Dear Mrs. Robinson, thank you for your feedback. We totally understand your complain, unfortunately being a Restaurant inside a Resort we do accept children in our fine dining Restaurant as well. We understood that you were moved to a table away from the noise, however it was not enough to let you have the memorable experience you were (rightfully) expecting and our goal to offer. Please let us know whenever you would like to visit us again, the Restaurant team will take special care of you.

Great experience. However We had the vegetarian menu and the vegetable plate (roots) was very average compared to te rest of the meal. Maybe transforming the menu to a 2 course pasta menu would make more sense.

Absolutely fantastic dinner experience. The setting on the terrace, with views of the bay and the Etna volcano are incredible. Food was spectacular and the service was even better. My wife and I were traveling with our 2 yr old son, who came to dinner with us and the chef and server went out of their way to make him feel special. I was not sure if the restaurant was going to be suitable for such a small child, but they made sure to make him feel welcome and he actually had a great dinner too. The "Mount Etna" Spaghettoni and the Pomodoro and Sesame Sea Bass were absolutely delicious. The complementary amuse-bouche bites were so creative and delicious too. Although the restaurant is somewhat pricey, it is totally worth it. If I have the chance to visit Taormina again, I would definitely try to go back to Principe Cerami
