    Le Naumachie is a lovely, quiet, elegant restaurant. Service was warm and charming. The food, starting with two amuse bouches, was delicious and beautifully presented, with each main course accompanied by a different salad. We were interested in a vegetable (no contorni listed on the menu), and the chef came out to discuss and offered us a wonderful endive dish. An absolutely delightful experience -- fine dining, no pretense. We highly recommend.

    The food presentation and quality are top notch at this off the beaten path restaurant. Smaller portions and a bit pricier than some other local restaurants we ate at, but we left totally satisfied without even having dessert. The servers were attentive and pleasant. They also offer an extensive wine list. Would highly recommend for the foodies out there.

    This is a very special restaurant. From the moment we arrived, and were seated in the atmospheric courtyard by friendly and professional staff, we were impressed. Between the welcome drink on arrival to the complimentary digestive, we were treated to a selection of delicious dishes punctuated by delightful amuse bouche. The presentation of the food was immaculate, the preparation excellent and the delivery professional and engaging. Taomina has a lot of good restaurants but not many like Le Naumachie - go and see for yourself!

    The setting was very nice. The food seemed to be authentic Sicilian, very nice....comment based on my Silician hertiage upbringing. Staff played along with my rather poor Sicilian dialect

    It was our last night in Sicily so we didn’t want a disappointing evening. The Ristorante Naumachie ensured we had another memorable meal in Taormina. We received a lovely welcome as we approached and the friendly service continued all the way through the evening. The food was mouthwatering, especially the main dishes. We had eaten enough fish over the week, so we chose the lamb chops and the pork fillet. The names of the dishes didn’t do them justice at all. It was melt in the mouth stuff, the best lamb chops and pork with apricot we’ve ever had. Incredible food. From start to finish, a wonderful way to end our holiday.

    We were only offered an 18:45 seating which is strange as all bar 2 tables outside were unused and I only saw one couple go inside to eat. The food and service were fabulous so I’d definitely recommend eating here. They have a huge selection of great wines but the offer by the glass could be improved significantly. Small quibbles in a 5* experience.

    Excellent. Very worthy of all the high scores others have left. If you are looking for something special, this restaurant is a real gem. Just off the busy tourist area but close enough to feel part of the historic centre and its charm. Food was really great and well presented.

    The meals are full of ideas that make the most of the ingredients, and are presented on tasteful plates. Service is full of pleasant conversation. The restaurant's location is a short distance away from busy areas, allowing you to enjoy a quiet stay. It is a restaurant for adults. I was very satisfied!

    Want to keep this a secret for selfish reasons but can’t! It’s too good. If you can get in then do it! You won’t be disappointed, wine list is too big but that’s a first world problem just VIVINO them if you don’t know!

    We had a great meal with wonderful service at this restaurant! The waiter told us about a restaurant that his friend has close to where we live. Turns out my daughter goes there! The chef also came out to greet us which is always a nice treat!

    Excellent service. I suffer from severe food allergies, and they went out of their way to make sure I was taken care of. The chef even came out to the table to let me know what he could make for me. That level of service was very much appreciated.
