After some very very expensive meals, we just wanted to sit and absorb the atmosphere of Taormina and watch the people walking up and down the Corso. The Re di Bastoni looked nice for a drink - we didn't even realise they did food. Gorgeous wine and a fabulous place of antipasti with about five hams, cheeses, olives, etc etc... More

My husband and I stayed in Taormina for seven nights and went here in the evening four times. Tried most of their red wines, many of which are available by the glass and others by the bottle only. The first night we went there we had had a big lunch (as usual) and were looking for some Sicilian wine and... More

We were hungry after a long day in Taormina, and Re di Bastoni was still serving. A little bar/cafe right on the main drag of Corso Umberto, this tiny place offers light fare and drinks. I ordered a salad, which came prepared beautifully with the freshest vegetables, along with delicious bread. At 11 p.m. it was still busy and the... More

We've been to this bar once lwhen visiting Taormina. The service is good, the staff friendly and the drinks menu is very complete. It was too bad they ran out if my favorite beer, but they recommended quite a good alternative for the same price. The atmosphere is quite laid-back, catering for teens to thirties mainly, but all ages are... More

This bar was brilliant. Great to sit and people watch and the food, service and atmosphere were all great. The bruschetta and salads were delicious and ended up going here instead of having a full evening meal.

After a visits to another few bars we made this our "local" for the rest of the holiday and went there most days either pre or post evening meal and sometimes for lunch. Drink and food are good and well priced and staff are very friendly and helpful. I threw the barman a curve ball with a request for a... More

We had a week in Taormina in August 2012. We found ourselves stopping off here on the way back to the apartment some late afternoons. The staff are super friendly and the salads and snacks are tasty and plentiful. Great to perch on a table outside, have a snack and a beer and watch the world go by.

This bar doesn't start to liven up until midnight. Great fun and the owner is a pretty good pianist.

We went here most days during our week for a draught beer. The staff were extremely friendly, even recommending their favourite restaurant. The atmosphere was very relaxed and on our last day we had our lunch here - salads which were huge and very tasty. Missing it already !

We spent two afternoons here. One sunny hot afternoon watching the world go by and another during the biggest thunderstorm I have ever seen drinking wine and playing scrabble whilst taking shelter. Chilled out and a good place to relax. Would definitely go back for a visit.
