Tischi Toschi Taormina

Very nice dinner in Toarmina. Of note was the parmigiana and the artichoke pasta. The fennel balls also very good. I found the tuna a bit disappointing hence the 4 stars. All in all a very good evening on the terrace of this small and tasty restaurant.

Very good restaurant in the center of Taormina. Even though it’s right off the main road, it’s tucked into a small alley, so you’re not bothered by noise or heavy foot traffic. The polpette al finocchietto were the highlight. I had never tried this dish before, but it was incredibly fresh and flavorful—truly excellent. The pasta al carrubo was also a pleasant surprise and really enjoyable. A great spot for something a bit different in a peaceful setting.

Really lovely and knowledgeable staff, and delicious pasta. They have certain specialties made in-store, including the fennel balls.

Tischi Toschi is a true gem in Taormina. My husband and I enjoyed a romantic dinner in a cozy atmosphere, reminiscent of a local reliquia. The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive. The dishes were outstanding, especially the fennel balls and the homemade pasta con sardina, which were delicious. In summary, it's a lovely spot that combines local charm, excellent service, and exquisite food. We can’t wait to return!

A tucked away restaurant filled with tasty, local dishes. The Carob pasta, stewed tuna and eggplant parmigiana were the highlights of the evening. Everything was very fresh and didn’t leave you feeling heavy.

Love the food and vibe here. Service superb friendly and I truly love every dish recommended from the girl. I really regret that I do not have time for a second visit, should try out every dish on the menu. Recommend to order the eggplant it’s truly their classic.

We are traveling in Taormina with friends and wanted to have dinner here at Tischi Toschi because our son and his family ate here and celebrated my son’s birthday a few years ago and the owner made a special dessert for my son to celebrate! The restaurant did not disappoint when my son was there or now! We had the sardines, mushroom salad and pasta dishes which did not disappoint ! We would highly recommend this adorable little hidden gem to everyone visiting this beautiful city! And the traditional music was such a joy!!

A lovely trattoria serving more home style Sicilian meals. Lovely setting but if you want an outside table best to book. The orange & fennel salad seems so simple but was delicious. Glad they had gluten free pasta which allowed my wife to enjoy Italian pasta dish. My ravioli was simple but tasty. We decided to try the snails, interesting but a bit chewy. Enjoyed our suggested glass of wine to pair with our meal. Very decently priced.

Be aware - it is incredibly unlikely you will be able to just walk in, even if you don't mind waiting. There are very few tables and reservations fill up fast. Once our attempt to walk in did not pan out we made a res for the next day, they still had a few tables. I think they really only do one seating (not confirmed, just a guess based on our experience) so even if you walk in and see an empty table...you won't get it without a res. All that out of the way, the food and wine were both fantastic. We got the Pasta Nonna and the Swordfish, both of which were delicious. I would also definitely recommend getting the pistachio tiramisu, that was probably the highlight of the whole meal if we had to pick something. The ambiance is great, it's off the main streets and down some stairs so it's quiet, and when we were there they were also playing some nice live music. While there are definitely a lot of great options in Taormina, I would put TT in the top 5 of any list you make.

Tischi Toschi was our absolute best dining experience in Taormina. Service was welcoming and great, and the food stood out in many exceptional ways. The pork meatball pasta is wonderful - exceptional flavors. The roasted rabbit/carrot was tender and delicious. They have a fried cheese appetizer that was absolutely delicious, and I'm not a cheese fan normally. Orange/fennel salad is perfectly prepared and seasoned. This restaurant deserves the high accolades.

Unbelievable Sicilian dishes. Lunch got my group hankerin' for real food, looking for an off the beaten path type resto. The main street in Taormina is loaded with beautiful restaurants, beautiful views, nice place settings.....touristy places. They were empty. Not a good sign so off we went looking for places we loved before.....but have since closed. Sigh. We asked some locals because TripAdvisor was no help with high stars for all places touristy, and we don't do Michelin or Zagat guides. Our antiques store dealer said, Tischi Toschi..... Mochi who? I perused his website, menu not published..... Curious. We went searching walking, and found TT off the main drag First we fell in love with the quirkiness of the resto: whimsy yet historic door totems, local art, homey small intimate. We took over. The owner says "Bravi Americani for coming to Sicily. You usually like Roma and the north". We replied, "Dood we're not typical" Loao. "Give us your best dishes". He replied don't worry let me decide for you. But don't be shy, I'll give you a few courses and if you don't like send it back! "Damn I thought". Then came the dishes...... Oh My Don Corleone! We didn't send any back! The meal: Caponata- game changer for us. I hate caponata in America. The photo looks as appetizing and scrummy as it was. Fennel balls- absolutely dahvine, photo desc. Pasta with sausage- this is what sausage and pasta is in Sicily? Texture, spice,flavor, damn see photo. Un piatto perfetto! Pasta con carciofi- spicy sexy, hot and tasty Desserts-- absolutely fresh and light, healthy and simply zenzolicious We shook our heads the entire meal. We could not fathom why restaurants like Tischi do not exist in America....most Italians are from Sicily in the U.S. of A. We could not believe the quality, the flavors, the authenticity of the meal in this tiny town called Taormina. Everything was 2die4. In the end, the owner brings out glasses, on the house, with his fave digestif Amara. So memorable, so delicious, so genius. "Bravi i Siciliani....god bless Sicilia! Loved it. Coming back. Visits: 1 Tip: A must visit. Some dishes spicy (I do love spicy but caution to those who cannot)

We've been traveling for weeks, seeing and eating our way through some of Italy's best cities, and Tischi Toschi was one of the best yet. Recommended by the Four Seasons staff, we spent our first evening in Taormina here. The tagliatelle with artichoke was so good that I ate twice as much as usual. And the meat rolls were like no meatball we've ever had before. The owner made the meal fun, kept the wine flowing, and easily kept every table in the place well-fed and taken care of. Reservation recommended, we saw some folks get turned away. Great music played out front by some friends as well.
