La Capinera is run by one of Sicily’s finest chefs, Pietro D’Agostino. From the restaurant, located just north of Taormina, you can look out across the Ionian Sea. La Capinera is listed in countless restaurant guides and has a reputation as one of Italy’s finest restaurants. They hold a Michelin Star and on the menu you’ll find starters of mixed raw seafood served with local lemons, Mozia salt and olive oil or locally grown pumpkin soup with steamed fish, buffalo mozzarella and candied fruit. Move on to a main of wild duck and caramelised chestnuts and orange, or fillet of beef with foie gras.
