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).

    Considering we are Sicilian, going to a Sicilian restaurant on Waikiki was questionable. However, Taormina was wonderful and we totally enjoyed our dinner. I would highly recommend this restaurant.

    コース料理ではなくアラカルトで注文しました。どれも味はとても良かったです。ワインもグラスで頼みましたが美味しかったです。前からお店の前を通って、いつもお客様が沢山入っているので気になっていました。また行きたいと思います。

    Didn’t like having to climb stairs for our seating. Wait staff was very good, but waiter did not play sufficient attention to our table. He did give attention to the other table in his area, one with 3 ladies. Seemed to never be around or watch our empty water glasses. My wife had the duck breast which was very good, but the fatty side should have been rendered more. The Eggplant caponata was outstanding, which we both shared. I had the squid ink seafood which was also outstanding.

    The excellent service provided in a delightful setting somewhat compensated for the overpriced wine list and small entrée portions. The seafood bruschetta appetizer contained very little seafood and was overly heavy due to the thick gravy poured over the toast. Both the spaghetti Bolognese and the risotto with foie gras were served in doll-sized portions, and the risotto had an excessively thick texture. However, the house Manhattan cocktails were a wonderful way to start the evening, and the complimentary dessert was a lovely touch, especially as we were celebrating a birthday.

    レベルが高くて全ての料理が美味しかったです。特に雲丹のスパゲッティはアランチーノと比べて生クリームが少なく、ペペロンチーノにより近く、私の好みでした。

    The food was surprisingly good. The service was excellent. The ambience was pretty good considering it is in downtown Waikiki. I would certainly eat there again and certainly will the next time I am in Honolulu.
