La Capinera
A Michelin-starred restaurant on the Taormina seafront, where Chef Pietro D'Agostino crafts creative Sicilian dishes using the day's fresh catch.
Located along the coastal road in Spisone on the Taormina seafront, this restaurant has been helmed by Chef Pietro D'Agostino since 2003 and earned its Michelin star in 2008. The tasting menus revolve around the sea, land, and fire, focusing on the daily catch and Sicilian ingredients. The terrace faces the sea, and the wine list features over 1,000 labels. Reservations are required, especially for terrace seating. Tasting menus are around €130, with a la carte starting from about €80 per person.
