10/10Great atmosphere...off of Corso Umberto, the restaurant is in a beautiful setting, with 5-star service and food quality. Prices are reasonable for the quality and setting of the restaurant. We also found the owner is a neighbor to us in our Taormina home!

9/10Pretty garden patio restaurant in the heart of tourist town Taormina. The menu is updated to reflect local freshly sourced food. Our chosen dishes-beef carpaccio, octopus on a carrot purée, mains of beef ragu on tender pasta, for my husband slow cooked fillet of beef and cannolo to finish. I ordered almond tart which was unexpectedly more like a biscuit (think digestive). The dessert wines were delicious. Service & ambience very good.

10/10Delicious food combined with impeccable service. An amazing alfresco dining experience. The owner Valentina was professional and personable. She has made our evening extra uncomfortable.

10/10Lovely restaurant in a beautiful courtyard. Modern Sicilian cuisine, which was delicious. Attentive, discrete staff. A real gem, a must on an itinerary for Taormina.

9.5/10We had a superb meal at Raya. The food is certainly not cheap. Starters for £18 and up, mains from £22 for pasta up to £30. Dessert £15. However it was worth the price tag for the quality and presentation of the food. The cover charge includes delicious bread and a beautiful amuse bouche type thing. My glass of wine was a local chardonnay which was delicious (£7). The only thing I would change is the lighting inside is quite bright hence lower score for ambiance. Outside looks lovely but in April everyone was seated inside.

9/10Very good food & experience-even tho they did NOT have my Fork reservation ‘in the books’. PLUS. They open at 7:30 & not 7:00 which was when my Fork res was for! That said, they were very accommodating & friendly. Food was terrific. Squash blossom app was stellar!
