THE BEST TABLE IN TOWN

FINE DINING EXPERIENCE
The word that best describes BLUM is vision. A vision reflected in its cuisine, setting, and entire dining experience, grounded in respect for tradition, the enhancement of local heritage, and a constant pursuit of contemporary innovation.
At BLUM, the experience is both engaging and contemporary, reflecting the thoughtful design of the table. The atmosphere is relaxed and free from unnecessary formalities. What remains is substance: the cuisine of Riccardo Fazio, guiding guests on a journey through ever-evolving culinary landscapes.
BLUM IS DISRUPTION.
The transparent tables appear to float on water, set upon a platform balanced above the breaking waves. Before you lies only the sea, the private beach, and the unspoiled nature of Mazzarò Bay. Behind you stands Taormina, the pearl of Eastern Sicily, overlooking the coastline and gazing toward Mount Etna.
Technique
A distinctive culinary signature defines Riccardo Fazio’s cuisine: freshness, expressed through vibrant citrus and acidic notes. This flavor profile is also reflected in the pairings featured throughout BLUM’s menus. While deeply connected to the territory that hosts it, the cuisine transcends local boundaries, placing Sicilian ingredients within a broader, thoroughly contemporary context.
A perfect example is the Cappellaccio Amaro. Although not Sicilian in origin, it encapsulates local ingredients such as wild chicory and endive, complemented by a Tuma Persa cheese sauce—a rare and increasingly hard-to-find Sicilian cheese. The dish is finished with tuna bottarga, creating a refined balance of flavors.
