Inspired by authentic Sicilian recipes from the kitchens of Southern Italy's seaside town of Taormina, Chef Hiroyuki Mimura pairs fresh pastas with the highest quality seafoods and meats. Unspoiled by heavy sauces, Sicilian-style pastas are dressed in pure, extra virgin olive oil. Fresh vegetables, lightly grilled fresh local fish, and lamb seasoned with herbs offer diners a healthy range of options. Featured dishes include fresh Fettucine Carbonara finished with tableside Truffle service, grilled Lamb Chops "Luca pecorini" and Veal "Siciliana." Taormina's specialty dish is Uni Pasta (Sea Urchin), a delicacy enjoyed in Sicily, Italy. Italian Lavazza espressos compliment selections of house made desserts (Dolci).

    We have walked past this restaurant multiple times over ten years and never stopped. Last night I had made a reservation to celebrate our anniversary. They accommodated my request for a quiet table. Each food item surpassed my expectations. The service was extra. We will be coming back.

    2024年11月30日席、パフォーマンス、お料理も大変美味しい。主に男性スタッフがメインに対応してくれた感じも非常に素晴らく良かった! 今回も、期待してしまって2025年3月1日予約。席はリクエス通りテラス。お料理も美味しい。今回は女性スタッフ、シャンパン、ワイン、すべてグラスを希望。あまりわかってないのか?スムーズではなかった。最後のメイン、子羊を頼み、1本ずつお皿に盛ってくるねと。言われたので安心していたら、頼んでもないカツレツ、それも大きな。かなり満腹だったからメインは一つにして子羊は2本あるため一つずつと、女性スタッフから言ってくださったのに。よりによっておっきなカツレツ。もういいょ、今回はスッキリとしない、感じだった。次回日本からハワイを楽しみに予約をとりますので次回はよろしくお願いします!

    Disappointing at best. Confusion with front desk and they gave our reservation outside to someone else although they called to say our table was ready. Glass of wine was about a thimble size for 16.00 Waiter forgot our bread and tries to blame another server and did the same when returning my credit card to the table, which took forever. Food was fine but overall experience was disappointing. Wish we had dined elsewhere.

    Food was fabulous and service was excellent. Only issue was the parents with a screaming child seated behind us-thankfully they came when we were close to being finished.

    We dined here 2 nights while in Hawaii. Everything we had was amazing! The chicken was delicious and the bolognese was the best I’ve ever had. Service was friendly and totally contributed to our wonderful experience.

    Okay Italian food in Oahu. We were seated upstairs and the only server was very busy so service was not great. We shared an ample salad but it didn’t have enough dressing. We decided not to ask for more since it was tough to get our server’s attention. My husband ordered Spaghetti Bolognese and was not even offered grated Parmesan. Again, after a lengthy delay getting server’s attention, he was told if he wanted freshly grated parmigiana there would be a $3 upcharge! Wtf! In our 70’s and we have eaten in probably 100 Italian restaurants across the world and have never been up charged for grated parmigiana! He wanted it so now there was another 5 minute wait for it. Meanwhile, dinner has gotten cold. Ok so charge your $3 but offer it when the food is delivered. So thoughtless and took away the ambiance of eating Italian. My black squid linguini with fruitti de mare (seafood) was delivered lukewarm at best and was incredibly salty. We didn’t really enjoy the meal for the price. Tiramisu was the highlight.
