Kisté – Easy Gourmet è un ristorante di cucina contemporanea siciliana situato nella storica Casa Cipolla nel centro di Taormina. A due passi dal Duomo, all’interno dell’antica e fascinosa Casa Cipolla. In uno storico palazzo del tardo Quattrocento, con due grandi cisterne romane (da cui il nome, in greco), “Kisté” fa dà contenitore gentile ad una selezione dei migliori sapori siciliani, da vivere fuori o dentro il ristorante o da mangiare a casa, grazie alla proposta di prodotti a marchio “IO Pietro D’Agostino”.

We dined as a couple at Kisté, housed in the historic Casa Cipolla with a stunning terrace that promises a memorable evening. The setting is undeniably charming.

The food, to be clear, was well done: enjoyable, technically solid, without glaring faults. But this alone was not enough to redeem the evening.

Regrettably, the service left a lasting negative impression. The server delivering the dishes recited descriptions by rote, without enthusiasm or pause. We felt rushed: before we even finished our aperitifs, they brought wine and the first course. As I was still eating bread, it was quietly removed and the next dish was served. When I asked for a 10- to 15-minute break before dessert, they timed it exactly to the 10th minute and immediately served, the precision underscored a rigid script, not guest care.

We have seldom felt so overseen rather than hosted. Despite a beautiful location and promising cuisine, this dinner failed to deliver a pleasurable experience.

I cannot recommend Kisté based on this visit.

Have to say a lot of thanks for this place, after 1 week on the sisilia there was only 2 restaurants where was good food, one is less then 50m, but no one was excellent. We took tasting menu, from see to the land and it was terrific. I gave free hands for sommelier to deside vines and there was no even a time what was wrong, sizes of dishes, tastes, combinations and serving. For me it is really under big question mark, why some restaurants in Naxos and Catania has Michelin star, even these can't pretend on even mensions in guid, and this one has only mension. Hope you guys get a star very soon and not only one.

The food was too beautiful to eat, and as delicious! Within walking distance from The Four Seasons, the tasting menu was wonderful!

FANTASTIC! Just go, order anything it will all be great! Must order the fresh fish and the “red dress” to start with paired with some sparkling wine. The service is flawless. All of this comes with a price which is totally worth it.

Very good restaurant, but for me it was a little bit overpriced. While the service was friendly, there were multiple occasions where my celiac wife was served a different dish than me (this part is normal), but the different dish was still not gluten free. Their gluten free options were, however, quite good when she did get them eventually. The wine pairing had some tasty wines, but we were never really told much about them. The outdoor patio was nice, but also full of bugs. If I went back, I would probably not do the tastings.
