Principe Cerami

Stunning atmosphere, inventive fresh food and stellar staff. Gaetano and the rest of the team made our dinner last night a memory we will cherish for a long, long time. Highly recommend.

what a wonderful dinner. we spent a week at the four seasons and had dinner one night at the Cerami…the food was very memorable. We ordered the four course version which including two pre-course plates and one pre-dessert dish was actually 7 courses. Not huge but more than enough food. We did laugh at how small one of the anti-pasta dishes actually was but it was two amazing bites so why complain. If you have Euro 450/for two to spend its well worth it. I would say we also enjoyed the dinner we had at nearby Tiramisu for Euro 100 but it’s not the same type of event. .

Luogo assolutamente magico che incarna perfettamente l'eleganza della Sicilia !

Una bellissima esperienza che dura nel tempo… grazie infinite 🥰

Ottimo abbinamento vini!!!

Wir besuchen häufig Sternerestaurants, aber dieses gehört sicherlich zur Spitzenklasse. Der Service war rundum herzlich, elegant zuvorkommend und man fühlte sich wirklich willkommen. Die Gerichte waren saisonal, regional und handwerklich perfekt kreiirt. Das Preis/Leistungsverhältnis war, anders als an der Bar, mehr als fair. Wir würden sehr gerne nochmals kommen und ggfs auch im Hotel übernachten. Danke an das ganze Team für den wunderschönen Abend.

非常に残念な体験をしました。そのことにレストラン側は金額的誠意を見せてくれたことと私たちに給仕をしてくれた女性に敬意を表し、星を一つから二つにします。 まず、非常に高額なレストランです。そのことは分かっていましたが、まさかここまでお料理に見合わない金額を設定しているとは思いませんでした。金額に見合う食材は一切使われていません。 眺めもよくミシュランの一つ星をかかげているこのレストランに大きな期待を抱いていて入店した私たちでしたが、ウキウキしたのはamuse boucheまでです。お店を出る頃には失望と後悔の念でいっぱいになりました。そして、残念ながらお料理はそれほど美味しくないです。半分の価格でも行きません。 まず、エトナ山パスタは見た目は美しかったですが、材料はトマトソースとチーズと竹炭です。客を喜ばせる素晴らしい食材は他にも色々ありますよね？それを追加することは思いつかないのでしょうか？ そして、メインの豚肉料理には本当にがっかりさせられました。豚肉は大好きですが、豚バラ肉をここまで残念な料理に仕上げられる料理人に驚きを隠せません。 この金額でこのような料理を提供して平気でいられる料理長の神経を疑います。ネガティブなコメントをするのは好きではありませんが、一年前に同じようなコメントをしている人がいるにも関わらず、私も同じような感想を抱いたので、あえてコメントをすることにしました。 期待していた景色は夜なので全く見られず、場所の恩恵を受けることはできませんでした。 美味しいものを楽しみたい人を受け入れるレストランではありません。 前日に行った一人35ユーロのビストロのパスタや前菜の盛り合わせの方がどれほど美味しくて、幸せだったことでしょうか。 いつも参考にしているミシュランですが、鵜呑みにしてはいけないと思い知らされた体験でした。

We were staying at the San Dominico Palace and therefore decided to try their flagship restaurant on our final evening. Unfortunately, it was very disappointing, being to one star Michelin restaurant, we did have certain expectations . First of all, I was surprised at we had to choose exact same courses for our degustation menu (not just the number of courses) The signature etna pasta was starchy and should be replaced….. the black crumbs resembling volcano ashes and 5 kinds of tomato sauce was not very enticing…. What happened to the great seafood that you have around you? Main course… piglet, was a cube of fatty pork, probably slow cooked with soggy and sticky skin and all the fat remaining in place so the course was actually…. Not very edible. Deep fry the skin? Oven roast the pork to get the fat reduced? Cheese was great and so was the wine. Overall I expected much more being a one starred Michelin restaurant. To be honest, the weakest link of the stay to such a great hotel in Taormina….

We had dinner at principe cerami in the terrace. We decided to follow the suggestions of the waiters, which were spot on. The food was overall nice, but only one plate, a risotto, was unforgettable. We arrived at the restaurant and the table was not ready. No drink was offered for the wait. So we decided to get a bottle of prosecco by the pool. We were then told the table was ready, but we wanted to finish the bottle and there was no offer to take it to the table. We are then rushed to go to the restaurant since it was the latest time dinner could start. We thus rush to the restaurant to be told the table was not ready. And waited ten more minutes. This is all super far from the service expected at a michelin star restaurant! To finish off, after having to wait for the table so long, we had to pay 30 euros of parking at the hotel because we exceeded the parking time included with the dinner!! Simply outrageous!

Dinner last night was unfortunately quite underwhelming. We chose the 4 course degustation menu and looked forward to what was to come. The flavours, detail and creativity of a Michelin rated one star restaurant was just not there when compared to other Michelin rated dining experiences. The food ranged from average - good but never great, the service was attentive but varied significantly across three servers with one being particularly cold and disinterested, a smile or even a greeting was out of the question! The biggest disappointment was the timing and temperature of the meal, with the initial courses being very slow to then shifting to express service with a course leaving the table to then being immediately replaced with the next course. This appears to be a kitchen issue and significantly impacted the quality and overall experience.

We had a lot of expectations here, one michelin inside the $3,000 per night Four Seasons Resort. Overall service and food were ok. But what was unforgiven was the hair on my Wellington. The server saw it try to pull it out and without success served it to me anyway(photo attached).
