Set within the prestigious The Ashbee Hotel, an elegant early 20th-century villa overlooking one of Taormina’s finest views, the St. George offers a dining experience that combines sophistication, stunning views and haute cuisine. After passing through the residence’s charming rooms, the view opens out onto the garden and the spectacular terrace, where palm trees frame the view of the Strait of Messina. The culinary concept stems from a collaboration between Heinz Beck and the resident chef, Salvatore Iuliano, who combines the renowned master’s insights with his own personal sensitivity, shaped by his Calabrian roots – evident in his use of signature ingredients such as ’nduja. The cuisine is characterised by a balance between technical precision and expressive elegance, resulting in dishes that are as surprising in flavour as they are in presentation. The starters are truly emblematic – veritable masterpieces of culinary craftsmanship, in which ingredients and shapes are transformed into elements of refined visual poetry. Among the most memorable creations, the “Aubergine, fig leaf and oxidised chocolate” stands out as an original fusion of local produce, creativity and precision in execution. The experience is rounded off by attentive, impeccable service and the expertise of the young sommelier, who guides diners through the meal with passion and a keen eye for the ideal pairings.
