taormina in Wuppertal

We had another wonderful evening...not only the food was very good, but also the service. Thank you very much!

Very tasty pizza, minestrone was quite bland and too expensive for this small portion at €8. A little baguette was even charged extra at €2.50. €6 extra charge for salami on the pizza. A glass of ginger ale- more expensive than a glass of wine?? Overall, the relationships simply don't really add up. All in all nice, but too expensive!

Unfortunately the price-performance ratio is not right for you :-( Two pizzas for a total of 50 euros?

Absolutely, delicious food, outstanding service.

Nice atmosphere, very nice service and very good food. If you want to linger for a long time after eating, that says it all. 😊 Deserved 5 stars and a clear recommendation from us 👍🏼

Super delicious!! I celebrate the restaurant. Super nice boss - if you like delicious Italian food - this is the place for you! From classic rustic traditional dishes to special gourmet menus, everything is here!

The restaurant is just great!! My parents have been there several times and today was my first time there because it was my dad's birthday! I'm the biggest truffle pasta fan and Taormina's pasta is truly the best I've eaten so far and I've tried many!! The service is also simply 1a and super nice and accommodating!! Great recommendation!

Absolutely very tasty 😋 We have been coming for 25 years

The quality of the food is good, but the quantity leaves a lot to be desired. There is a lot of room for improvement, especially when it comes to pasta dishes. 170€ for 5 people at the Italian restaurant is quite sporty (including 7x soft drinks, 1x red wine).

Sometimes chance helps with great discoveries. Actually, we were just looking for a place to grab something to eat nearby before a concert in the town hall. Google then found the “Ristorante taormina – fai da te”, right next to the town hall. A quick look at the website – it looked good, so I made a quick reservation online. Then it was time. We were warmly welcomed after a somewhat stressful journey and immediately felt very comfortable in the restaurant. The ambience is worth seeing, you can see a lot of attention to detail (and Vespas). The welcome was nice, but the entire service was always very attentive without being intrusive. Very commendable. From A (aperitif) to Z (encore when we popped back in for a nightcap after the concert), the food and drinks were a delight. Everything is stylishly prepared, in appropriate portions and very tasty. Each dessert was a discovery in itself, even the traditional tiramisu was a surprise due to the way it was presented - very creative. Conclusion: Great, small restaurant, run with commitment and with the ability to create a feel-good atmosphere. Everything was right for us. Highly recommended. Update January 2025: Our first impression has been confirmed and despite the journey being a little further for us, TAORMINA has now become one of our favorite restaurants.

Very tasty food, pasta dishes a bit small, very nice service, very loud due to several larger groups.

The food was incredibly delicious. The ingredients were fresh, the dishes were authentic and prepared with a lot of love. The service was also great – friendly, attentive and quick. The atmosphere was cozy and inviting, exactly what you would want in an Italian restaurant. I will definitely be back and can recommend this restaurant to anyone who wants to eat authentic Italian food in Wuppertal.

Nice small Italien restaurant directl, opposite our hotel. Food is pricey, just like all over Germany. Nice atmosphere.

Delicious food, rather expensive. Nice service. When the restaurant is full it is very noisy

Is the restaurant in Wupoertal or in Monte Carlo... because of the exorbitant prices

Simply great! A large selection of very good quality food.

We waited 2 hours for our main course.

We have often eaten well in Taormina. Unfortunately we had an unpleasant experience today because our telephone reservation was unfortunately not entered. You couldn't even remember the conversation that had taken place an hour before - very adventurous and a shame... hopefully next time it would be as usual.

Another good meal, together with a colleague. The problem is that it is often full, so make a reservation if possible. It also gives some indication of the quality...

My wife and I ate very good pasta. Can only recommend the restaurant.

I found it to be, on the one hand, a great restaurant and, on the other hand, with very good service and good Italian food. A nice experience there.

Fabrizo and his team gave it their all again! Top!

Tasty and good portions! Very nice service! Very well attended.

100 for 1 starter and two main courses and the quality didn't count (pasta was cooked through). They have deteriorated greatly and are superficial compared to the quality. Rely only on your name. There is much better in Wuppertal, see AMALFI at Laurentiusplatz

Very good Italian restaurant with high quality food. Attentive service. Quite expensive.

Absolutely good food in a very pleasant atmosphere. Our pizzas were real Italian pizzas with fresh delicious ingredients. We went here for dinner before an event in the historic Stadthalle Wuppertal. Without prior reservation we would not have found a free place. Of course, with the excellent quality.

Delicious food, unfortunately far too expensive for the quantity. Loading very loud.

Great location, we were warmly welcomed and the evening was accompanied by delicious Italian delicacies. A great Italian flair, gladly again!

Nice, well-kept Italian restaurant. Good selection of pizzas, pastas and a wide selection of starters and desserts. The menu is also supplemented by a current daily menu. Operation and service are very accommodating. Overall a good price-performance ratio.

A decent, very well-attended Italian restaurant. Neither more nor less.

Not so comfortable, food ok. Once is enough

Super nice staff and the food was super tasty 👍

The food was okay, but I wouldn't necessarily come back because of that. The service is pretty bad and you always have the feeling that it's mass processing. Eating and drinking comfortably is also not possible. We had expressly said that we wanted to wait a bit after the starter before ordering the main course, but were then asked 3 times within 5 minutes what we would like to order now, with the justification that nothing else was coming from the kitchen. The price-performance ratio is not right for me either.

Very tasty, good service - a nice restaurant with attention to detail 👍

A really large selection of non-alcoholic aperitivi, as well as many with alcohol. Good decaf espresso. You don't have to miss anything here.

Yesterday I was there because I was really craving truffle pasta. Reservation is absolutely necessary, it is also stated on the Internet and it was actually very full on a Sunday evening. The pasta on the carpaccio was super tasty, but I thought that the burrata ball didn't fit on it because it was cold and relatively tasteless. My companion, however, thought the combination was great. Afterwards there was dessert. Panna Cotta Pistacchio. Ok, but not to repeat. The tiramisu had a very tasty cream and is recommended. The dishes at the other tables also looked incredibly delicious. I would like to try out more there. Dogs are allowed.

Very nice staff and good food. It is very loud in the restaurant when it is full - not for a romantic candlelight dinner, but rather for a sociable meal. When the door is closed in autumn, it gets quite warm in the dining room and the supply of “fresh air” is very limited due to guests who unfortunately think they have to bathe in perfume before going out to eat. I would prefer if the restaurant smelled more like food and less like the guests' perfume. The food was good, for a very good, unfortunately it lacked “the final whistle” of sophistication and spice.

Good food in a lively atmosphere. Service was friendly, but not always easy to reach. A reservation seems urgently recommended. The parking garage opposite is ideal for parking.

We had a delicious meal consisting of eggplant parmigiana and pasta. Mine, with truffle, melted in the mouth. The consistency of the fresh pasta and seasoning was perfect. Booking is necessary: the place was full until after 21h. I give Taormina my best recommendations

Great Italian with great service. The food was incredibly good. There’s nothing to complain about here! Complete precision landing. We'll be back!

As always, a feast for the senses. Super tasty <3 For me, Taormina is one of the best Italian restaurants in Wuppertal.

The best that Wuppertal has in terms of Italian cuisine. Sensational pizza 🍕, top service. Ambiance, you would be in Italy. Very high quality products

The restaurant, run by the second generation, impresses with its excellent service. The furnishings and details are also versatile and just as outstanding. Pizza or carbonara didn't really appeal to me in terms of taste. But I was able to add more salt at the table and add some fresh pepper. The ingredients used in the dishes were fresh. Price-performance - ****

Great quality Great service Gladly again and again

Who would have expected that in Wuppertal?!

Delicious food, fast service and good coffee. To be repeated!

Very good food, great service, great boss. 5 Stars

Super delicious food in a great atmosphere with super nice hosts and service.

Very exclusive service. Delicious Frangelico. Lovely again

So incredibly delicious! Great friendly service. We recommend. 😍😋

Great food! Friendly service! Everything was great 👍

Food delicious, service absolutely warm and humorous, definitely visit! The Thermomix aunt says thank you 😊

Great food, full of flavour and Athentico Italliana. The server staff was very kind and accommodating who spoke English. Atmosphere was chilled and inspiring to conversation.

Gerne möchte ich eine Bewertung über unseren Besuch von gestern 18.07.24 schreiben, leider habe ich einiges zu kritisieren. Wir hatten dieses Restaurant für ein Geburtstagsessen ausgewählt weil wir von früheren Besuchen dort mit dem Essen sehr zufrieden waren. Soweit so gut. Wir hatten leider das Pech in unmittelbarer Nähe von einer größeren Gesellschaft zu sitzen und die Lautstärke war schon sehr anstrengend für unsere 89 Jährige Mutter, hätte man auch anders machen können. Das Essen war durchschnittlich gut aber für den hohen Preis ziemlich kleine Portionen, bei den Getränken ( 3 Gläser Wein) war in jedem Glas unterschiedlich wenig drin, das geht meiner Meinung nach nicht, wenn der Rest aus der Flasche nicht mehr reicht dann sollte man bevor man sich beschwert eine neue Flasche öffnen. Dann kam die Rechnung, wir waren zu dritt und hatte als Aperitif jeder einen Prosecco es wurden uns aber 4 Prosecco berechnet, als wir das reklamiert hatten kam die unverschämte Antwort, naja sie hatten ja ursprünglich den Tisch für 4 Personen reserviert. Auch mit der Beschwerde dass die 3 nicht bestellten Bruschetta auf der Rechnung standen kam nur eher unfreundlich die Aussage „aber die haben Sie doch auch gegessen“ also nicht Gastfreundlich. Manche Restaurants haben es anscheinend nicht mehr nötig Gastfreundlich und ehrlich zu sein, schade. Wir kommen aber auf keinen Fall wieder…..

Really good and very tasty, service also top👍 Gladly again....

Enjoy your meal. Good staff. Unfortunately we had a very warm day. But we'd love to come back

Very tasty, great staff. Absolute recommendation!

Only the portion sizes could have been a little larger for the money. Everything tasted great!

A real Italian LOCALE in the middle of a German city 🥰 we came without reservation and were lucky to be seated coz the place was full! Despite of this we got served really quick! Food came in less then 20 min I think and it was extremely tasty. The personnel was really friendly and welcoming 🇮🇹 Really recommend! Grazie infinite, ragazzi 🫶

Quick preparation of the food, pizza really tasty 😋 great service

Eating doesn't get any better than this. Just great.

Absolute highlight. Surprised at what was conjured up for us there. So delicious! A very special Italian. Great quality and top class taste! We will be back!

Terrific! We'll definitely come back. It was an all-round great three-course dinner.

We've been here several times now, it's really our favorite restaurant! The atmosphere is great, very cozy and inviting, there is great Italian cuisine, the food is excellent, especially the dessert. The service is super friendly and accommodating, we feel very comfortable here and would love to come back!

Nice Italian restaurant with a modern atmosphere. Delicious pasta. Nice operation and service.

Abbiamo scelto casualmente il posto, camerieri gentilissimi da subito. Terrazza molto suggestiva e curata con panorama mozzafiato. Avendo 2 passeggini i camerieri sono stati da subito molto cortesi nel trovarci il posto più confortevole. Cucina veramente meritevole e di qualità. Davvero tutto molto molto piacevole se non fosse per l’incontro con la scortesissima proprietaria che si aggirava in modo molto sospettoso nella saletta interna dove eravamo solo nei mentre andavamo in bagno, si avvicina a me sbattendomi tra le mani dei sacchetti di resti di noccioline sostenendo fossero mie davvero persona sgradevole che annulla la magnifica ora trascorsa lì. Peccato

We really enjoyed our supper, it was full of flavour and the friendly service too completed a pleasant evening. Thank you

It was fantastic again, greetings from Hamburg

Very pleasant atmosphere, friendly and quick service, tasty food

Everything wonderful and recommended.

Great service, the food was simply great, we were completely satisfied. Can only recommend the best

A nice restaurant with typical and authentic Italian cuisine. The dishes are very tasty and presented in a visually appealing way. The service is friendly and attentive, when delivering to the table you have to ask who placed which order. The glasses are not presented to the guest with the emblem. Due to the location on the main street, there are limited parking spaces nearby and there is a charge for them. May 2024

Family-friendly, very accommodating restaurant with the best food. - In 2020 we were in Taormina with 5 adults and 2 small children. There was a normal and a season ticket. The selection is typical of an Italian. Pizza and especially pasta are highly recommended. I can't write anything more specific about the drinks and other dishes. We felt very comfortable during the 1.5 hours and although the children got a bit tired and tiring for ourselves, the time was very nice. It almost gave me the impression that the families in the restaurant were treated even friendlier because of the children. At the end we were treated to a very tasty coffee drink of our choice - on the house. A restaurant like this is something rare these days. But the taormina has been in Wuppertal for a long time. The story can certainly be read better elsewhere. Or you can ask on site. With this in mind, with best recommendations - bon appetit.. Taormina will also be a sought-after place in 2024. The prices have of course gone up, like everywhere else, but, in my opinion, the quality is also better. Always my pleasure.

Great food, great service, everything was great! One of my favorite restaurants in Wuppertal and the surrounding area. It's worth a visit!

Actually an Italian that we have always been happy with. Food excellent, price level OK, pleasant atmosphere, especially outside in summer, inside - perhaps a bit noisy because it is almost always full and the interior design is not very sound-absorbing. Doesn't matter ! The last time we were there was on March 1st, 2024. Table had to be reserved online. I didn't like the location in the last corner of the next room. Whatever! But it all started with the choice of drinks. Ordered a bottle of Nero D'Avola from Sicily. The waitress comes with an already opened bottle of wine. I complained about this because a wine bottle is always uncorked at the table. The waitress was perplexed that I didn't like it - "we always do it like that, it's easier". I'm sorry, what ? I took a sip and immediately noticed that the wine was quite oaky for a fruity Nero d'Avola, which was unusual and I didn't like it. Looked at the label and lo and behold: it was actually a different wine. Just changed like that, without asking. Complained again, the waitress replied: "The selected wine is no longer in stock". Then suddenly the boss came, brought - oh wonder - the Nero D'Avola I had ordered and uncorked it at the table with the statement: "You would have gotten something better with the other wine". Huh??? Since when have we been on a first-name basis? Strange thing with the wine, considering that selling and serving a bottle in a restaurant for 3-4 times the purchase price would have to be easy money compared to preparing food. However, there should be no tricks and the simplest rules should be followed. Well, the starter was great (Burrata), the main course Battuta was also good as always. When I asked for the bill, the waitress held an online payment device in front of my face with a final amount for card payment. I asked for the expression, um to control everything (as I always do, of course). Your answer: “You will receive the invoice printout later”. Me: But no, I have to see it first! Then she brought a bill which turned out to be the one from the next table and was of course completely wrong. Complained again, gritted our teeth and brought our bill. But it was also wrong because it listed the wine that had not been ordered (and opened) at first, which was of course now more expensive. Complained again, bill reduced and corrected. Then finally pay. Again the small device on which I should first enter the percentage amount of the tip (5, 10, 15%). But I didn't want to. Why? The waitress's answer: "Yes, of course, you weren't happy!" Great description! She grumpily: “So tap here WITHOUT”. Of course there was NO tip for such unprofessional behavior. And if so, I'm happy to do so voluntarily - and not upon request. We both asked ourselves: What is going on in Taormina? Extremely increased prices, cunning tricks and mistakes, then being offended without understanding or apologizing?...I think that's it for us. A pity.

It was a quick visit before a concert. The seats were okay, but the food and service were really good. Will definitely come back.

Went there for the first time yesterday based on a recommendation and unfortunately I didn't think it was that great: The background noise was like a train station hall: very loud and not very comfortable. I was amazed at the prices: €15.50 for a tuna pizza is very brave, even in times of rising prices. Mind you, in a pizzeria in Wuppertal (not Munich, London or New York). The drinks were similarly priced. The pizza itself tasted okay, but nothing extraordinary; The dough in the middle was much too thin, resulting in a mushy mass. The service changed several times that evening and fluctuated between friendly and taciturn. What also surprised me was that when I ordered water, not a glass but a large 0.7 liter bottle was served without asking. Very unusual. The evening was okay for me, but unfortunately nothing more.

Simple, small, regional places but don’t go by the restaurant size and ambience which is basic. But it was bustling with clients that are mostly regular here to sample pure Italian coastal cuisine at its best! The food was outstanding! Must try if you are in Wuppertal!

Tolles Erlebnis... Haben uns durch die komplette Sonderkarte gegessen... Wurde uns als Degustazionsmenü angeboten was wir dankend annahmen... So konnten wir alle Speisen der Sonderkarte probieren.. Herrlich

Service was super nice and attentive, food fantastic!

Delicious food, very courteous service

Really great Italian, so not a pizzaria. Very tasty cuisine and great wines.

The food is great and the service is quick and competent. The prices are also reasonable for the top quality. We'd love to come back! Only the parking situation is a bit difficult but if you know that you can leave earlier.

Very, very well eaten, top service, very friendly and relaxed atmosphere 👍⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Incredibly good and delicious cuisine in a really cozy, original Italian atmosphere. Everyone gets their money's worth here... The selection on the menu is huge and whether it's antipasti, pizza, pasta or salads - everything tastes fantastic. And the price-performance ratio is also right!! The staff is super friendly and attentive and leaves nothing to be desired. The desserts are heavenly - especially the tiramisu and the pistachio cream. I give 10 stars and am already looking forward to my next visit. Also ideal as a location for company parties.

Unfortunately, the food is disappointing given its high price. Service/staff are good and don't lose track even when the house is full. The volume in the very large main room is very high for many visitors because there are no sound barriers.

Great hosts, very good food. We will be back !

Very friendly and accommodating hosts. Super great food, original local cuisine with elegance. It was the first but definitely not the last time I was there. Addendum: We were there for the second time now. I'm still very excited 🤩 ❤️

The food (pizza and pasta) and drinks were really tasty. Price-performance ratio is (still). However, it bothered me that I was called by the nickname (without being asked). Since I didn't play in the sandbox with the waiter, I found this rude. And being nagged at because “only” three of us came (the other family members were sick) is also not good manners.

Everything OK Nothing to complain about

Super great Italian restaurant. Great service, delicious food and great ambience.

As always, a lovely evening with delicious food and great service

It was a wonderful evening with truly authentic Italian cuisine, great service and ambience. If we're ever in the area again, we'll definitely eat there again.

The waiter tried very hard, but was a bit too intrusive for me. The menu is varied. I had a margharita pizza which was okay. Extremely thin base and topping, a little more seasoning would have been good. Prices in the upper range, portion sizes manageable. Therefore the price-performance ratio is not right for me. The rooms are nicely designed, but the tables are very small and close together, so it was difficult to accommodate the plates and drinks of 5 people. Requests regarding allergies were addressed in a friendly and helpful manner.

We felt very comfortable. Top service, very tasty food, good wine selection. 01/19/2023 It's time for an upgrade. Good service, tasty food, nice ambience...everything fits

Delicious pasta (would have liked more) and well-seasoned pizza. Food came quickly despite the house being full. Reservation is recommended.

From the service to the wonderful food to the ambience - simply recommended.

Very attentive service. Pizza was very tasty.

My Italian bad 👍 It's always a dream to eat there. Highest quality of food 🥹 Dear people 🫶 And the dessert...a poem 😁 I'm already looking forward to the next time 🥂

Sehr eng sehr laut und das Essen war auch mehr nur Okay…
