Otto Geleng Menu & Review
At Grand Hotel Timeo, A Belmond Hotel, Taormina, Italy
Intimate noble salotto, bougainvillea terrace, Etna and sea views
Otto Geleng is Timeo's Michelin-starred flagship, named for the Prussian painter who helped put Taormina on the traveller map. Executive chef Roberto Toro, a Sicilian who returned home after international training, cooks refined, nostalgic interpretations of island produce across tasting menus (including vegetarian) with a la carte flexibility. The room evokes a Sicilian bridal corredo salotto: hand-stitched linens, oil lamps, roughly eight tables, and views over Taormina, Naxos Bay, and Etna. A deep cellar of more than 400 wines supports the journey. Open seasonally (often Wednesday to Sunday from May in recent schedules). This is the meal that justifies a Timeo booking for many gastronomes.
