An unforgettable experience from start to finish. The service was truly outstanding—attentive, warm, and perfectly paced. The tasting menu was beautifully curated, with each dish as much a work of art as it was delicious. It’s definitely on the pricier side, but absolutely worth it for a special occasion. A must if you’re looking for a memorable night out in Taormina.

We enjoyed dinner on a recent trip to Taomina. The service was outstanding. The food was good, but so predictable for a Michelin star restaurant. I wish that these Michelin chefs would do more than simply foam various foods. They’ve been doing it for 30 years. How about trying something new…

Prince Cerami is a culinary gem that truly deserves its Michelin star status. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with outstanding service that made us feel welcomed and pampered. The food was nothing short of exceptional—each dish was a perfect blend of flavors, presented beautifully, and cooked to perfection. We loved everything we tried, from the appetizers to the dessert. The ambiance added to the experience, making it a night to remember. Highly recommended for anyone looking to indulge in a top-tier dining experience.
