Ristorante Le Naumachie In Taormina

Couldn’t have asked for a better dinner- amazing and friendly staff, beautiful atmosphere and incredibly well thought out food

It was an amazing experience with such attentive staff. The quality of the food and service was excellent. They put lots of love into the cooking and also the presentation. Strongly recommend a visit to this restaurant.

We went here for our final night in Taormina and it ended up being such a special experience. We actually found it the day before just wandering through the streets. It’s tucked just off the main strip and feels like a little hidden gem. The whole night felt like a true fine dining experience, but still relaxed. The food was not only beautiful but genuinely delicious. There were lots of little amuse-bouches brought out along the way, and each one was delicate and full of flavour. We had the almond sponge cake for dessert and it was incredible. I am still thinking of it as I write this review. We also spoke with the chef, who was so passionate about what he does. The service team were exceptional in their approach, and as the meal progressed they became so warm and friendly, while at the same time keen to make the whole food experience special for us. Honestly, my photos don’t do it justice. Such a lovely way to end our time in Taormina.

High-quality venue with superb service and atmosphere. Abir the main server was outstanding, his attentiveness and in-depth knowledge of the served local food made the experience exceptional.

Highly recommended. The food was fantastic and the service incredible. The owner, Francesco, his wife, and Abir were all very kind and attentive, taking excellent care of us. They were always on top of things.

Hidden amidst the tourist traps is this hidden gem. In a chic and minimalist setting, the chef reimagines high-quality local produce with originality and passion. The tastes and flavors are as impressive as the presentation. We particularly enjoyed the popcorn-crusted octopus, the pork with apricots, and the lamb. The wine list is incredible. The small amuse-bouches are flavorful and refined. Even the cheese plate is a delight. Everything is Michelin-starred quality, with excellent value for money. The service is very friendly, and the staff is incredibly attentive. A wonderful culinary discovery; we will gladly return!

awesome welcoming chef who’s making it happen small and well-thought menu perfect balance between fine dining and bistro great wine selection (online wine card available)

We had a wonderful evening with friends at this lovely restaurant. The food was absolutely delicious, beautifully presented, and full of authentic flavors. The staff made us feel truly special warm, attentive, and caring throughout the night. A perfect mix of great food, friendship, and genuine hospitality.

A surprising selection and not at all geared towards the typical tourist. Very friendly service and a kitchen that looks and tastes professional. Highly recommended for those looking for added value.

One of the highlights of our trip to Taormina. Amazing food and top notch service from our server, Abir. An absolute gem!
