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).

    Service was very friendly and efficient. The Eggplant Caponata was very good and well presented. The Bolognese Moderna was very rich and satisfying. The Seafood Pescatore was a bit lighter with the pasta cooked al dente…. Overall, a great dining experience.

    リピートですが、 ウニのパスタは芯が残って味が薄くなった気がした。 もう少し濃い味のような気がする。。勘違いか。。。。 オーダーはコース、とてもバランスが良く美味しく頂きました。 スタッフさんの教育は素晴らしい。 いつ行ってもテキパキ愛嬌が有ります。 半袖で行って失敗、小上がりのテーブル席だがエアコンがとっても効き過ぎて寒かった、隣のお客様も入店後徐々に袖を伸ばしている方がいた。 席の変更を依頼したが満席の為、エアコン温度を上げて貰ったが効き目無し。 ジャケットを用意すべき。

    The food was very good. Our server was great. We had a reservation. Unfortunately, when our host walked us to the table they had reserved for us, a manager quickly walked over to the table and intervened. We then were rerouted to an area in very back of the restaurant and sat a table besides the food window. Every server walked next to us and got their food from the window behind us for the duration our meal. it was loud and not what we expected for the caliber of restaurant they advertise to be. there were several tables open in the main dining area, including the one we almost sat down at. Bc of the lackluster overall experience, we likely won’t revisit. Again, delicious food.

    I had recently read that Taormina was one of the top Italian restaurants in Hawaii. I had never been there before, so opted to take a friend there for her birthday. It did not disappoint! The restaurant touts Sicilian food. Everything we ate was delicious. We started with an eggplant appetizer which was just divine. Then we split two pasta dishes. The first was a squid ink pasta with clams, shrimp, and scallops. The pasta was exquisite and the seafood was fresh and perfect. The second was a pasta dish with anchovies and sardines, which was also yummy although we preferred the first plate. We thought we could die happy, but then they brought out a special dessert for my friend, and that was the icing on the cake! (haha) I may have to bring my husband here for a special date! ;)

    The food is excellent. I haven’t been there since before COVID and I forgot how much I loved it. I ended up going back twice in one week. The uni pasta was delicious and so was the risotto with fois gras. I want to go back to try the nentaiko pasta next.
