Spisone - Taormina (ME), Italy
Restaurant La Capinera sits above Spisone beach in Taormina, with the Ionian Sea shaping the mood and the menu. The terrace looks straight out over the water, set with lava-stone tables, while inside Sicilian craftsmanship is paired with clean, contemporary design. In the kitchen, chef Pietro D’Agostino works with a clear, disciplined approach: ingredients chosen one by one, strict seasonality, careful cooking, and a focus on standout local produce. The result is a modern take on Sicily that stays close to its roots; fresh, bright and defined by a strong sense of place.
