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 used to go there in evenings and seated upstairs all the time. Somehow we start going there for lunch time. So it was very sweet and special experience. Of course food was excellent. Holiday

    The food is always excellent. The service was good even though the drink order for one person was incorrect. It turned out to be a mistake she enjoyed.

    Bosco salad is our favorite, tasty beets and pears. Frutti Di Mare is done perfectly done al dente. King Salmon was so moist and flavorful. Our favorite Italian restaurant in Honolulu

    Food was amazing! The salmon, filet with foie gras, and squid ink were all excellent and perfectly cooked. We had empty water glasses throughout the rest of the night, and had to ask for them - not a big deal - only downside from the dining experience.

    Great food and service. Our table was outside. So, had to hear all street noises. Expensive, but worth it.

    Taormina continues to be the standard for Italian food in Waikiki. The dishes are authentic with the finest ingredients, good service, and a real value for the quality in Waikiki, where that is not always true. When my friends ask me for a reference for a Waikiki restaurant, Taormina is always on my shortlist. You can’t go wrong.
