Vecchia Taormina
About
Vecchia Taormina is a charming pizzeria‑gelato in the heart of Taormina, just a short stroll from the historic Porta Catania. The modern, comfortable setting is framed by the sparkling sea of Giardini Naxos and the dramatic backdrop of the volcano, offering diners a relaxed yet elegant atmosphere. With a generous panoramic terrace, guests can enjoy the sunset over the Tyrrhenian Sea while savoring the freshest Sicilian flavours. The menu showcases authentic Sicilian pizza, baked to a perfectly crisp but chewy crust, alongside a colourful array of fresh ingredients such as local cheeses, wild fennel, and sun‑dried tomatoes. After the pizza, the gelateria serves homemade dessert classics, from creamy gelato to refreshing granita—each crafted with regional ingredients and artisanal expertise. Whether you’re treating a romantic dinner, a family outing, or a friendly lunch, the combination of quality food, welcoming service, and a breathtaking terrace makes Vecchia Taormina a memorable dining experience for visitors of all ages.
