Ristorante Le Naumachie In Taormina

Excellent service... exquisite food in a hidden spot... worth a visit!!! 👍🏼 The best in town if you want to avoid the typical tourist restaurants!! Thanks for the unbeatable service, Francesco!!

Just perfect. Service was flawless and genuine. Food was so delightfully different and truly enjoyable. Highly recommend. Buonissimo!

Le Naumachie is one of the best places to eat in Taormina. Situated next to the remains of one of the most historic corners of Taormina (the Naumachia building), it is atmospheric and majestic. The restaurant’s chef offers his guests tasteful and stunning dishes, beautifully presented, equivalent to those of a Michelin * restaurant. In between each course, you are offered a (complimentary) amuse bouche, each one of them being a true state of the art! They have an excellent wine list, for every purse, starting from a fairly low price/bottle and raising up to thousands of euros/bottle, should you feel spendy 😊 (this is not to be considered as a drawback, though, since one can pick one of the value-for-money wines they offer at lower prices)! The restaurant has surely invested well and wise on their service, which was excellent -relaxed and friendly, as another client suggested- and always ready to discuss their menu options and offer analytical details about everything (including the site’s history 😊). The signora at the entrance (I believe the owner’s mother) invites you at the restaurant as if you were back home! We will surely enjoy another dinner at this fantastic restaurant, when we return to Taormina, and enjoy an even better bottle of wine (or even two), something that we weren’t able to do this time, since we had an almost 2-hour drive back to Siracusa and drinking and driving is not advisable! The price range below included a value-for-money bottle of wine, two starters and two main courses.

Absolutely incredible. Deserving of a Michelin star (or two). The set lunch had three stunning courses and three unique amuse (much to our surprise). The service, attention to allergy (celiac/gluten free), and the originality and quality of the food was outstanding for the price.

Amazing michelin style food and not pricey at all.

Tucked away and a little quiet but our waiter Michele was wonderful. Very knowledgeable about local wines and produce. A great experience

Family that has been able to do excellence!!! It is always a pleasure to return. Antonella and Enrico from Turin

We nearly cancelled our reservation as my partner can be a little fussy and wasn’t sure by the menu… very glad we didn’t! Our favourite meal during our week in Taormina. Every dish was a culinary surprise - nothing was as you might expect. Highly recommend the aubergine starter and red tuna main. Subtle delicate tastes with unexpected garnishes - it was really refreshing from the typical rich carb food in Sicily! The little bites in-between meals were a lovely addition - I suspect it reflected the chefs love for food and the experience he wants to offer at this restaurant. Service was excellent - relaxed and friendly. For such gourmet food, there is a no stuffiness or snobbery - so don’t be put off if the menu sounds fancy! It’s a wonder this place doesn’t have a Michelin star!

Ogni piatto è fedele al gusto della tradizione con eccellenza rivisto in chiave moderna . Ogni piatto ci lascia grande soddisfazione.

Uno de los mejores restaurantes que he visitado! He estado en Taormina varias veces y es nuestro ir. Increíble comida y servicio.
