This December, Signor Sassi invites guests to indulge in the true essence of Italian glamour and festive charm. For three unforgettable days, the celebrated dining destination will be transformed through an immersive collaboration with two of Taormina’s most distinguished icons: the renowned Anciovi restaurant from Four Seasons Hotel and the legendary Morgana Taormina, famous for its lavish interiors and electric ambiance.
