In Taormina, choose between a quick lunch, a Sicilian trattoria and a whole evening built around a tasting menu. These four addresses cover different needs, so choose for your day and budget. The pastry shop is a sweet break rather than a replacement for dinner. Check the addresses carefully: the two Nino venues are different places.
