Villa Zuccaro, Italian restaurant and pizzeria in central Taormina, Italy
Villa Zuccaro is a restaurant and pizzeria set inside a stone building from the 17th century in central Taormina, close to Piazza Duomo. The space includes indoor dining rooms as well as an outdoor terrace, offering seating for a large number of guests.
The building dates back to the 17th century and started operating as a restaurant in 2004. In that time, it has kept the tradition of Sicilian cooking alive within its historic walls.
The menu offers both pizza and traditional Sicilian dishes made with seasonal ingredients from local producers. Diners can taste flavors rooted in recipes passed down through generations of island cooking.
The restaurant typically closes from November through March, so it is worth checking before you visit. Its location near Piazza Duomo makes it easy to reach on foot, as Taormina's center is largely closed to vehicles.
The pizza menu runs to over 40 different varieties, which is unusual for a restaurant of this size in Sicily. Many visitors only notice this after they have already ordered something else.
