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).

                                      ハワイに来ると必ずお邪魔してますが、相変わらず質の高いお料理と洗練された雰囲気で、ハワイにいることを忘れてしまうほどです。 給仕の男性は非常に感じの良い方でしたが、受付の女性とテーブルに案内してくれた女性は全く笑顔がなく、その点が唯一今回初めて気になった点でした。

                                      The Restaurant Special was good. Wish there would have been a few more options to choose from. The dessert was not what was on the list and it didn’t have much taste at all.

                                      Not a pleasant or friendly place to dine. My partner and i ended up at another restaurant, where we had a fantastic meal.
