La Capinera
Spisone, Taormina, Italy

La Capinera brings Pietro D’Agostino’s cooking to Taormina’s seafront, in Spisone rather than the hilltop centre. The terrace is part of the attraction in suitable weather, with the Ionian Sea providing a natural backdrop. Fish, vegetables and Sicilian ingredients underpin a menu that interprets regional traditions with contemporary technique. Choose it for an evening focused on food and setting, and plan the journey between the coast and town in advance rather than treating the two locations as interchangeable.
