Kiste Easy Gourmet - TAORMINA

Wow! This was the best food we have eaten in quite some time! The €45 lunch deal was incredibly good value with plenty of food, wine and water. There was a choice of dishes and they were all delicious! The service was friendly and attentive, can’t recommend highly enough! Thank you, you made our stay in Taormina!

Una truffa, una esperienza terribile. Cibo senza sale. Decorazione buona, servizio mediocre. Se paghi 130 € per un menu con vino. Dovrebbe essere fabuloso, ma questo … una truffa.

This place is absolutely fantastic. Very quaint and the pictures I’ve seen don’t do it justice. Every detail is classy and elegant and yet unpretentious in terms of the decor. The food? Out of this WORLD. Every bite was a dream. It’s a 2 minute walk from Four Seasons. A tiny bit hard to find as Google Maps will take you around it, unfortunately. Just turn left from the hotel entrance exit, and it’s the first alley on the right. Go to end of street and look left and you’ll see it. Staff is lovely, it’s nice and quiet and romantic, very interesting lighting features. Bar is fine, possible some would say it could be expanded a tiny bit but they have the basics all dialed in. You go there for the food. I was shocked that on a Saturday night, it was not jam packed. I attribute that to other places being more over hyped and this place feels like a family restaurant and zero touristy vibe to it. Oozes authenticity. My wife and I are foodies and I’m here to say this restaurant is a MUST for anyone visiting Taormina!!! Feel like a dummy for not taking more photos because I mentioned above, the photos you find on Google are just not adequate at all. The only suggestion I have for management other than expanding the bar a little, is to dim the lighting a tad. But we LOVE Kiste!!!! Would go back again in one minute and tried to talk my wife into a return but our itinerary is packed with other places. I’ll keep trying.

The food was beautiful in both taste and appearance, I went with my family of 3 and we shared 2 antipasti, 2 pastas, 3 mains and 3 desserts which was honestly too much food but was still easily finished due to its quality. My only criticism of the food is that a couple of the more decorative sauces were used more than once which slightly took away from the character of the dish, namely the mint sauce which was used in 2 of the antipasti and 2 of the desserts, but even with this all the dishes and wines were well explained and tasted great.

Ambiente accogliente e molto intimo. La ricercatezza e qualità delle materie prime rende i piatti una vera delizia per il palato e al tempo stesso un tripudio di emozioni. Consiglio vivamente di fare questa esperienza. Complimenti allo chef e a tutti i collaboratori.
