St George Restaurant

The most exclusive Restaurant of The Ashbee Hotel

Set along Viale San Pancrazio street in Taormina, St. George Restaurant by Heinz Beck is a one-Michelin starred restaurant. They offer a multi-course menu that features a variety of delectable dishes from the traditional Sicilian cuisine. The restaurant uses locally-available ingredients to prepare their delicious meals. During the warm summer months, patrons can sit outdoors and enjoy their choice of meals. The restaurant’s well-planned meals and friendly staff will keep you coming back for more experiences.

Since the summer of 2022, Salvatore Iuliano has been at the helm in the kitchen here, creating dishes which are modern and creative in style. This young yet serious chef is both talented and professional, having previously demonstrated his ability to manage a team with excellent results during his time as sous-chef here.

Atmosphere

This restaurant boasts an elegant dining room with a vaguely British feel, as well as a terrace for summer dining overlooking a lush garden with an infinity pool and views of the Strait of Messina and the Sicilian and Calabrian coasts in the distance.

Cuisine

Taste and emotion. This is how Heinz Beck summarizes the new season that is about to begin at the St. George Restaurant in Taormina. The refined cuisine of the Ahsbee Hotel restaurant that bears his signature, two Michelin stars since last year with chef Salvatore Iuliano – the youngest two-starred Italian and the second youngest in the world – is the sublimation of the concepts of seasonality and health .

Chef

The relationship between Heinz Beck, chef patron of the three-starred restaurant La Pergola in Rome and his executive chef Giovanni Solofra – who manages the group of the starred St. George Restaurant in Taormina – goes beyond the professional aspect. They’ve been working side by side for more than eleven years now. Both have a profound love for cuisine, fostered every day by continuous research, recommendations and detailed studies between kitchen stoves, coffee and a lot of laughter.
