L'Arco - About Pizza — Restaurant in Taormina

I didn’t care much about the place, was walking back and forth in front of it searching for a place to sit and eat. A guy stopped us and said to stop wasting our time and money (he saw has walking in one way and the other) and try this local food. I had a beef ragu arancini and a pizza similar to a calzone (sort of). The pizza was very consistent, with one slice of it you could make it until the next meal. The arancini was amazing, tasty and very well made (no idea how it is fried but no oil remained on the napkin). It was served very simple, nothing fancy about it, but i would like another as soon as i will get hungry again. I am really sorry but i didn’t make any pictures of the place or the food, as I mentioned above I wasn’t thinking it is such a cheap and great alternative to other Taormina places to eat! Try for yourself if you are a tourist and also love junk food, totally worth spending 3 euros on this...

During our trip to Taormina, Sicily, we were on the hunt for some great pizza. After an amazing experience at Rosticceria Da Cristina, we were bummed to find it closed on Wednesdays. So, we ended up at L’Arco, hoping for a similar vibe.

Honestly, it was just okay. The pizza did the job for a quick lunch but didn't come close to what we had at Cristina's. Even after being warmed up, it was still kind of cold. Plus, there was this awkward moment where the staff were shouting at each other in the back. We couldn't understand what the fuss was about since it was all in Italian, but it definitely killed the mood.

We won't be going back. If you're in Taormina and craving some good pizza, try to catch Rosticceria Da Cristina when it's open. (Closed on Wednesdays) L’Arco? It's a...

This little "gem" in Taormina is a must! Their arranchini and pizza are the "bomb." Try the arranchin with ragu. You actually eat it with the point down. It is a fried rice ball filled with sauce and meat and fried made fresh right in front of you. Authentic and delicious these honor Mt Etna thus the shape. The pizza with pistachios local to the region is incredible! Stop by you. You'll find a line since it is a tiny storefront, no tables, so sit on the steps and enjoy you shouldn't leave Sicily without trying local food...
