Reviews Summary
Lido la Romantica offers a delightful beachfront dining experience with delicious food and a relaxed atmosphere. Guests rave about the fresh seafood, authentic pizzas, and especially the pistachio tiramisu. While the stunning sea views and friendly, professional staff are major highlights, some diners have noted slow service and occasional issues with food orders.
"A lovely restaurant, amazing atmosphere and spectacular view at the sea and Taormina. We were really looked after by the friendly staff. Food was delicious and reasonable prices. We all enjoyed our meals and were coming back five times. The rating five out of five. La Romantica made our easter holiday special."

"Love the vibe here. Came for lunch after a boat trip. We did not make use of the beach or umbrella rentals. We enjoyed our lunch, even though we were rushed to order our food. When we first got there we thought we would have a leisurely lunch and ordered our caprese salad first. We asked to keep a menu and we’re told No. after the salad, we asked for the menus and were given 1. As I’m looking at choices, the waiter comes back and asks if we were ready, I said not yet, he said kitchen closes in 10 minutes. So why he did not tell us that at first and leave us the menus was confusing. Our lunch was nice, pistachio ravioli ( I think that’s what it was) and I ordered a margarita pizza, but was given a plain uncut pizza. I wished we had more time to sit and eat, and I did not complain about getting the wrong pizza since the kitchen was closed."

"Very delicious food - one of the best restaurants in the area. I especially want to highlight the seafood soup, seafood risotto, and the local rose (house wine) -all were excellent.
However, the service was quite slow. We had to wait a long time to get the waitress’s attention and to receive the bill."

Dicono di noi: Ambiente carino a due passi dalla spiaggia e lontano dal traffico del lungomare, personale molto gentile e professionale, prezzi adeguati e onesto ricarico sul vino. Dopo due cene deludenti finalmente ritrovo la Sicilia in tavola che conoscevo. Peccato per l’insalata di polipo non proprio all’altezza.
