Ristorante La Lampara

Amazing seafood. We found the staff super friendly and attentive, with all the tables around us having a good time. Great vibes, delicious fresh seafood prepared exceedingly well.

For us, we ordered tuna steak, tender topped with the perfect Sicilian olive oil lemon combo, with a slight smokiness we loved, served with caponata and onions both simple but made to perfection. We also had the sea urchin pasta, which was insanely flavorful and exactly how sea urchin should be hero’ed in dish. The cous cous was my father’s favorite, the seafood in it was tender and created the kind of flavor bomb we all hope for in food. The impression we got was that the chef here knows how to make food. And the price was good, not expensive for delicious freshly caught seafood (you can taste the freshness). ANDDD it was a whole lot less than what I now realize were tourist traps that we ate at.

Order the seafood here, you won’t be disappointed. BEAUTIFUL views of the ocean too.

(EDIT: I took a sneak peek at some of the other reviews after writing this…No idea what they’re on about. Maybe don’t order basic tourist dishes here, go for the goodies. It’s the same price! Eat like local! ..or the restaurant made some changes that are seriously paying off. This place was amazing, truly!! Worth finding out for yourself).

Authentic Sicilian cuisine, fresh seafood, friendly service, generous portion at affordable price, accompanied with wonderful sea view.

Best restaurant in Giardine Naxos. Fresh, well cooked seafood, friendly service, hypnotic see view, great wine and reasonable prices. Nothing else to wish for!

Superb food, amazingly friendly and helpful staff and owners, who even drove us back to Taormina and wouldn't accept anything. One of the best steaks in my life but the fresh seared tuna looked amazing too. My wife's fish roe paste was sublime.
Homemade desserts were excellent also.
Back to the gym for me next week!

We only went in for a drink, but even that brief encounter was enough. This place was recommended by a local cafe owner to us. The staff were so accommodating and friendly. The owner even wished us well as we left. I thought the service was prompt and welcoming. The menu of the day looked fantastic.

Very friendly staff, made a special pizza for my son which wasn't on the menu.

It is a very good restaurant with typical Sicilian food

Il ristorante è piacevole, sul lungomare di Giardini Naxos, la vista molto bella di sera con tutte le luci, veramente piacevole, una cena naturalmente di pesce, abbiamo consumato un antipasto e due secondi, molto buoni ed il prezzo era adeguato infatti il rapporto qualità prezzo è stato molto buono. Gentili e cordiali, tuttavia si vedeva che mancava il personale, ma di questi tempi è un problema per molti locali, tuttavia siamo in vacanza e non abbiamo nessuna fretta, consigliato vivamente.

Posto accogliente e all’insegna della tradizione gastronomica siciliana. Appena arrivati siamo stati trattati gentilmente dalla proprietaria e dal personale di sala I piatti? Che dire… parlano da se!!! Super consigliato
