Buona scelta spontanea, trovato posto a tavola senza attesa alle 21.30 ca. Prodotti buonissimi di altissima qualità. Servizio molto flessibile e gentile, anche dopo aver ordinato la pietanza sbagliata. Cambio menu senza problemi, grazie mille!

Un 31 dicembre memorabile: abbiamo mangiato all'esterno anche se pioveva, riscaldati dalle coperte, il fuoco e soprattutto la cura del personale che ci ha coccolati fino alla fine. Jacquline ottima padrona di casa.

Wow! Una cena incredibile su tutti i lati. Abbiamo mangiato il loro antipasto crudo e riconosci subito la massima qualità del prodotto dalla freschezza e dolcezza del pesce, tonno, ostriche, gamberoni rossi e di più! La pasta cotta perfettamente, cremosa e punto della salinità perfetto! Dolce ( tiramisù rivisitato) sorprendente senza eliminare l’identità. Grandi complimenti alla signora ( sfortunatamente non ricordo il nome) che ci ha serviti, una persona da prendere esempio per il livello di ristorazione e passione che ha, grazie per la sua accoglienza.

Tornati in questo ristorante dopo tanti anni con la speranza di ritrovare lo spirito e la qualità di allora. Mai ritorno è stato più piacevole e, se possibile, ancora più apprezzato. Gli spaghetti alle ostriche... favolosi! Grazie a Jacqueline e al suo staff! Siete bravi !!! Assolutamente raccomandato !!!

What an experience ! Fantastic apetizer (sardinas fried to perfection with a simple home made mayonaise) and ensalata de bacalao with grapefruit and olives. My taste sense just exploded. Luckily there was a glass of the finest sauvignon to help getting back to earth 🙈😇. Delicious it was. Thank you very much.

We had a fantastic evening at Osteria Rosso Divino. Tucked just a few streets away from Corso Umberto, the restaurant’s beautiful outdoor courtyard made for a perfect setting. The menu was extremely fresh and thoughtfully composed, with fantastic daily specials that showcased the best local ingredients. The staff were warm, welcoming, and incredibly knowledgeable making the experience feel both personal and refined. Highly recommend! Grazie mille! 🇮🇹✨

We like off the beaten path, and this lovely Osteria was recommended by another restaurant we often frequented in Scilla. The food was amazing, the service exceptional, and the best tiramisu we've had in Italy so far (and we try them all). It truly was an exquisite experience. Be prepared to pay the price as it was the most expensive meal albeit one of the best. If you want something truly different and have no worries about the bill, then I suggest you try it. The price was worth the experience.

A great place for lunch if you love great fresh local seafood. Our host was very helpful going through the fresh catch of the day and finding the perfect wine pairing for your order. A seafood lovers dream.

The food and service was exceptional. The best meal we have had in Sicily (which says a lot). This is a restaurant not to miss if you enjoy quality food. Make sure you book (we did the night before) as it is very popular. Jacqueline and her team will provide a meal to remember!

The service was genuine and warm, and they weren’t pushy to upsell. I appreciated their clear explanation of the catch of the day, including the offer to have the fish prepared in two ways: Sicilian capers and sultana stew, and homemade breadcrumbs. The fish was fresh and perfectly cooked. Kudos to the service team and chef!

This restaurant was the best in Taormina and among the best in Sicily. The owner seated us and explained the menu and described the food in such a luscious manner I wanted the entire selection. The owner clearly is passionate about high quality food and service and it shows in her enthusiasm and the quality of the meal and overall experience. Service was amazing and the staff was really on point! Owner gave amazing wine recommendations to pair with the food. The seafood sampler appetizer was the best I’ve ever had, so fresh! Location is to die for, a few streets away from the main Corso Umberto so not noisy, and the atmosphere was a very old world feel, very romantic as well. This restaurant is really at the top of their game and owner and staff showed us true Sicilian hospitality and quality. I would return to Taormina literally just to dine here!

Tucked into a candle-lit square off the Main Street in Taormina, our meal at Rosso Divino was exceptional. Local Sicilian wine and a whole snapper cooked two ways were the standouts of the meal. The service team was friendly, helpful and highly professional. If you’re looking for a special meal out in Taormina that is worth the price-tag, 10/10 would recommend.

Elvinas Palcauskis

Great atmosphere, service and food was perfection. Wine selection is huge and the waitress recommended an amazing bottle of wine for us. It is not cheap but quality. I recommend reserving as it fills up quite fast.

The best food and wine we’ve had in Taormina so far. Primarily a fish menu, and everything we ate fish or otherwise was exceptional. The staff were brilliant and made a huge effort with our two year old daughter which we appreciate. Note for others, our child’s dish which was altered / smaller, was still charged at full price.

Ella Navarro

Mouth-watering from start to finish! Tucked into a little side street (just follow the candles!), this spot is pure magic. There are only a few tables set up along the quaint street outdoors, so definitely reserve ahead. For primi, we had the gnocchi and the spaghetti al nero di seppia – both in generous portions and absolutely delicious (each bite somehow better than the last). For secondi, we went with the fish of the day, served half Sicilian style and half with breadcrumbs and lemon zest wonderfully fresh, and paired with veggies that made the whole dish sing. The service was spot on: attentive without being overbearing. They recommended a wine that not only paired beautifully with our meal but was exactly what we were craving. All in all, a truly delightful dining experience we’d happily repeat!

Michael Sverdlov

We returned here following our fond memories from our last visit, and it was just as wonderful as we remembered. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, and the experience ended perfectly with a memorable grappa. Truly a place worth coming back to again and again. Reservations are highly recommended!

Samantha Lewis

I’m shocked this place doesn’t have traction. It was fabulous. It’s tucked away on a little side street and it has the most charming vibe with candles and low lighting. The service was excellent and the food was so delicious.

An Unforgettable Culinary Gem in the Heart of Taormina On our final evening in the enchanting town of Taormina, we wanted a dining experience that felt truly special—something that captured the spirit of Sicily and left us with a lasting memory. Osteria Rosso Divino delivered that and so much more. Tucked away on a charming side street, this beautiful restaurant had been highly recommended by our Italian travel agent. Even without a reservation, we were greeted with warm smiles and gracious hospitality, and seated right away—a gesture that instantly made us feel at home. Soon after, a lovely woman approached our table with the kind of warmth and enthusiasm that can’t be faked. She carefully walked us through the day’s offerings, painting each dish with such vivid detail and passion that we found ourselves hanging on every word. We ultimately chose the fresh red snapper—expertly prepared two ways. One half was dressed with golden toasted breadcrumbs and a delicate hint of orange citrus; the other was served Sicilian-style with olives, sweet raisins, sun-ripened tomatoes, and fresh aromatic herbs. The result? Absolute perfection. Each bite told a story—of sea, sun, and tradition. The flavors were bold yet balanced, deeply rooted in local heritage but executed with a level of finesse that spoke to true culinary artistry. To our surprise and delight, we later discovered that the woman who had so eloquently described the menu was in fact the owner. That revelation added an extra layer of heart to an already beautiful evening. It’s rare to feel such an authentic connection to a place while dining, but this was one of those rare, magical moments. If you find yourself in Taormina, do not miss Osteria Rosso Divino. It’s not just a meal—it’s an experience. A true celebration of Sicilian flavors, heartfelt hospitality, and the kind of charm that stays with you long after the last bite.

Amazing Lunch! The service was outstanding and the food was perfection. Our wonderful hostess provided us with an excellent recommendation for wine as well. Don’t miss this one if you are in Taormina. The seafood and produce was fresh and prepared to complement their natural flavors. I will remember this lunch forever:)

We ordered “catch of the day”- fresh red snapper weighing 1.4kg, cooked in 2 ways. First dish: Oven baked and covered with pistachio-herbs-breadcrumbs, topped with orange zest and served with rainbow chard at the side. The fish was crispy outside, but the meat was juicy and moist inside. You can taste the sweetness of the fish and the breadcrumbs added good texture. Rainbow chard was sweet. Second dish: prepared in Sicilian style, with tomatoes, capers, olives, raisins, potatoes. Soup taste really sweet. Well balanced with sweetness of fish while capers and tomatoes gives the mouth watering, saltier and savory profile. Unfortunately, there was no air conditioning and it was a hot day. Luckily we were offered cold wet towels to cool down.

Alberto Arena

Osteria Rosso Divino one of the best fish restaurants in Taormina. quality of the raw materials is excellent, the raw and tartare are worth trying, the mix of very tender and super tasty smoked fish is interesting. Their main dishes are the first courses with lobster and sea urchins, a selection of excellent fish and preparations linked to tradition. Their very good desserts cannolini top. special thanks to the landlady Jacqueline as she presents you with dishes and a show, great passion and absurd knowledge of wines

Amazing, fresh food. Friendly, kind staff. Great atmosphere. We were greately taken care of. We had the peach dessert and fell in love with it; so light and delicious. Fresh John Dory fish (ugly fish, delicious dish) for main course, sicillian style. So fulfilling! We were recommended the best local white wine to pair with the fish. The raw seafood plate was out of this world! If we end up in Taormina again, this will definitely be our first choice!

Our hearts undoubtedly belong to this ‘best-kept secret’ address! One of the best restaurants in the world and in my life! This place is owned and run by the most charming and friendly sisters, Sara and Jacqueline! We’ve tried many places in Taormina but ended up securing a space in this most delicious osteria for every single dinner until the end of our vacation. You will enjoy any dish from the menu and, of course, the best wine selection! Can’t wait to be back!

Siamo stati al Rosso Divino per cena, nel cuore di Taormina, e abbiamo mangiato davvero bene! Il locale è curato e romantico, perfetto per una serata di coppia. Io ho ordinato un piatto di carne con carpaccio di funghi, tenera e saporita, mentre la mia ragazza ha scelto un pesce cotto alla siciliana, delicato e ricco di profumi mediterranei. Tutto ben presentato e con ingredienti di ottima qualità. Unica nota: i prezzi sono un po’ alti, ma considerata la posizione centrale c’era da aspettarselo. Nel complesso, una bella esperienza gastronomica a Taormina per una cena raffinata con piatti della tradizione siciliana.

Abbiamo pranzato in questa Osteria una domenica di Ottobre, luogo appartato e accogliente, personale educato e professionale e cibo molto buono. Abbiamo ordinato una parmigiana di pesce, buona, ma un pò insipida proseguendo con una cernia cotta a forno con agrumi e spinaci, molto buona peccato per la quantità degli spinaci davvero poca ed inoltre non ci hanno fornito il peso della cernia che essendo a pesce fresco e a peso avrebbero dovuto comunicarcelo. Nota dolente il conto eccessivamente alto, 90 euro a Kg per il pesce e 20€ per un calice di vino mi sembra esagerato.

Osteria Rossodivino a Taormina. Non mi piace farmi influenzare dalle recensioni, ma le leggo prima di scegliere un ristorante. In una stradina in discesa, in centro a Taormina ma fuori dal grande flusso di visitatori. Personale gentile e bravo. Cucina eccezionale, un premio per il palato. Buona la presentazione dei piatti. Da persona vicina al mondo dei vini la risposta la conosco...ma condivido comunque la domanda. Siamo in zona Etnea, perché proporre nella ricca lista dei vini solo vini di fascia alta? A New York, San Francisco, Londra, Roma, Parigi.... si riesce a spendere meno senza sacrificare la qualità... Bravi, ma non allontanate i clienti..

Siamo stati qui per cena. Il posto è molto intimo e carino, nascosto e lontano dal caos del corso principale. Sicuramente tutto di ottima qualità ma trovo i prezzi altini per essere in Sicilia, anche se si sa che Taormina sia più cara. Abbiamo preso un antipasto in due (la frittura, ottima!), due primi e una bottiglia di vino e un passito. Il conto è stato di 60€ a testa.

Locale con un atmosfera intima e rilassante. Materie prime di ottima qualità cucinato in maniera eccezionale. Ottimo vino prodotto dalle nuove eccellenze siciliane. Staff : preparato, gentile.

Tutto buono e pesce fresco, prezzi leggermente alti per la quantità delle portate! Location molto silenziosa ed elegante in un vicoletto nel centro di Taormina

This place is a bit hard to find, but we were welcomed with open arms. The staff was very friendly and did their absolute best to make us feel at home. The dinner started good with an appetizer that tasted really good, but the Main course was a huge dissapointment. I had the gnocchi which tasted okey and my girlfriend chose the fresh fish. The waiter talked a long time about how they could prepare the fish and we were convinced that this must be an excellent choice. But when the fish was served I could see the dissapointment in her eyes. The dish was so bland and had hardly any taste. 47 euro for that dish alene, not worth it to say the least. But the staff was so nice that we couldnt bare to tell them that the fish was awful. If you plan to go here, dont choose the fish, you will probably have a better experience if you choose another dish.
