Principe Cerami Restaurant
The restaurant is named after the Sicilian noble who, in 1866, by virtue
of an old, long-hidden will, came into possession of the Dominican
monastery and converted it into a hotel. An innovative philosophy of
hospitality has flourished ever since within the walls of these charming
and lovely facilities.
Fantasy and inspiration triumph at the Principe Cerami, in its setting,
on its tables, in its food. A harmony of colours, a caress of soft
lights and starry panoramas overlooking the sea. Age-old fragrances,
delicate flavours, an ecstasy of taste. |

ABOUT TAORMINA |
|
 Taormina was just too good
to remain unspoiled. Dating from the 4th century B.C., it hugs the edge
of a cliff overlooking the Ionian Sea. The sea and even the railroad
track lie below, connected by bus routes. Looming in the background is
Mount Etna, an active volcano. Noted for its mild climate, the most
beautiful town in all of Sicily seems to have no other reason to exist
than for the thousands upon thousands of visitors who flock here for
dining, bar-hopping, shopping, and enjoying the nearby beaches.
International visitors pack the main street, Corso Umberto I, from April
to October. After that, Taormina quiets down considerably. In spite of
the hordes that descend in summer, Taormina has remained charming, with
much of its medieval character intact. It's filled with intimate piazzas
and palazzi dating from the 15th to the 19th century. You'll find a
restaurant for every day of the week, and countless stores sell
everything from fine antiques to cheap trinkets.
You can always escape the throngs during the day by seeking out
adventures, perhaps climbing Mount Etna, walking to the Castelmola, or
making a day trip to Syracuse. In summer you can hang out at the beaches
below the town (although Taormina itself isn't right on a beach). At
night you can enjoy jazz and disco or just spend time in a local tavern
or restaurant.
