Ristorante Vicolo Stretto ★

A trendy trattoria in Taormina, Sicily

This trendy spot is just off the main drag, but a hidden world away with its bow-tied waiters, smart service, and covered roof terrace blessed by breezes and a view over terra-cotta roof tiles to the town clock tower.

It's rather more staid than the livelier spots where the tourists tread, but good for a romantic or relaxed evening.

The prices ain't cheap, but the portions are abundant and the food's excellent.

Try the tasty and creamy gnocchi vicolo stretto (with broccoli and sausage) or spaghetti al sugo cernia (in a fishy ragù).

Among the better secondi I count filetto al pepe verde (beef fillet under green peppercorns), trancia di cernia alla erbe (herbed grouper), and involtini di pesce spada (swordfish pounded flat, rolled around stuffing, then sauteed).
