Arco Rosso — Restaurant in Taormina

Acro Rosso is a small cozy family bistro/wine bar. The interior decoration is tasteful and charming. We had four meals at this place during our five day stay in Taormina. That just speaks how much we love this place. The bruschetta and panini are very good. Even our fussy preschoolers ate a lot here, lol. My favourite bruschetta is the one with pistachio, it is soooo tasty and Sicilian pistachio is just beyond amazing, and the other one is called “spicy” with spicy salami. They are super generous with ingredients and the price is very reasonable in the inflated Taormina. I recommend that you take 1 piece of 3 different flavours when ordering bruschetta.

The staff, I guess is son and father are a bit shy but very friendly. The first time we were there, it was just the son, the playlist was classic rock. Next day, there was only the father, the playlist was some classic Italian or Sicilian folk music. The third time, both son and father were present, so it was a mixed playlist. I think that is...

Arco Rosso, a jewel in the crown of Taormina.

My wife and I have just spent 2 weeks in Taormina. And this tiny, little, unassuming bistro set just off of the Corso Umberto is an absolute delight. For anyone who just wants a quiet drink or to sample the amazing food of this bistro, whilst watching Itaian life go by, this would be the place to be. For virtually every evening after a day on the beach we'd drop in here before going back to our accommodation and maybe have a swift GnT or order its famed Bruschetta and people watch as they passed up and down the narrow, cobbled, ancient steps. Carmello the owner, as regular as a Swiss timepiece would have a table ready for us and extend a warm welcome as we descended the steps to this beautiful bar. We noticed that the locals meet and eat here. And if the locals come here, you know it's going to be good. You're not going to get a "bad" Bruschetta in Taormina but this Bistro is at the top for food, ambience and service. Can't recommend the place...

LGBT PHOBIC!!!!!!! I’m so sad about this experience. How is it possible that in 21st century the staff of a italian restaurant acts if we are trash. Didn’t want to give us a table and then pretend we didn’t exist. Called them multiple times to ask for Food and they just ignored eye contact and turn around their heads. Only after 40 minutes (everyone who arrived after us was already having dinner) was I able to speak to them. They were looking at us and mocking in italian thoughout the dinner....
