A Casitta Di Lembo Giuseppe - GRANITI

We ended up here after reading the Conde Nast Travel plan for Taormina which advised this place. It was the best decision we could have made! If your looking for typical Italian food, non touristic trap places (Those that you find all over Taormina center), affordable, then this is the place you are looking for. There is no menu, we ended up paying 35€ per person but we drink 2 bears each and had the desert which is not included in the menu prices (25€/person). This menu is basically a tasting menu of Sicilian delights. Everything was fresh, very diversified and very Italian, consisting of multiple appetizers, pasta dish and meat in the end (for the strong ones with a lot of appetite). Then, we still had a home made gelato that was very good as well. Examples of dishes: Fig with parma ham Mozzarella and tomato Melanzane Caponata Pasta with fresh ingredients Assortment of Grilled meat Among others Please go to this place and avoid Taormina touristic trap.

My family and I decided to try this restaurant whilst on a holiday last week (September 2019). I asked for the menu which turned out to be extremely poor in choice. The owner kept insisting on us trying the 'assagini '. Hungry as we were and with little choice we decided to take up the offer which we regretted deeply. We were 6 adults and a boy. One of the adults did not manage to eat anything and the boy had only some pasta. The rest (5 in all) had the assagini (about 10 tiny portions) and some pasta together with one bottle of water and one carafe white wine and 3 limoncellos for which we were charged €225!!

Words cannot adequately describe the experience of eating at the wonderful restaurant. This place is a must visit for everyone. The food is fantastic and is home cooking at its very best. Chef also makes his own wines. I would go back again and again. The waiting service is provided by chef and his wife and is a total pleasure. This is a well run family children friendly restaurant

You never forget. We've been in this place for about 20 years and never forget. typical Sicilian cuisine but well made, the simple but rich of good. I recommend it to those who want to stay in the family or among friends sipping a nice glass of red wine while swallowing many delicious flavors.

As soon as we arrived we were greeted by Mr. Giuseppe, owner and chef, who immediately made us feel at home with his genuineness. the places so must please, there is little to do, but if you are lovers of good home food by putting aside the design and appearances, you will be happy. the chef has quickly listed what he could prepare boasting his “assaggini” and the first with fresh pasta. we did not see the menu but talking to the chef we were good or bad able to guide the choice by limiting ourselves to the “assaggini” (because we had previously read online that were many and therefore quite satiating) From our part we enjoyed that the chef specified that he preferred to know the order on arrival so as to organize in the kitchen and then portion the fresh ingredients according to the orders. the fact that the place had fresh ingredients and carefully chosen I think it is a really praiseworthy and pleasant to the customer. after the tastes, really good as well as in generous portions, the chef also sent us a taste of pennettes to the really spectacular norm. a genuine norm just like the one that would prepare every grandfather in the house for their grandchildren. in everything we paid 61€4€ the two covers50€ the two portions of “assaggini”3€ water 4€ fruity had to be in the neighborhood I would definitely return!
