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).

    Many thanks for the fabulous Sicilian cuisine. Our waiter Mesher was the greatest (he served us last August, and I hope Taormina keeps him forever). Given the many great places Waikīkī has on offer for a great dinner experience, Taormina has to be the BEST. My supreme compliments to the Chef Hiro Mimura (the BEST), thank you Chef - you do the BEST Sicilian in the world (even better than in Sicily 😉. We will definitely be going back to Taormina again 😃.

    The best carbonara I’ve had outside of Italy. The porcini risotto was also well done

    I would recommend getting rid of the cramped aisle seat. It kinda ruined the dining experience in a nice restaurant.

    Great food, ambience, and service! The focaccia was delicious and so was the perfectly seasoned and cooked lamb and the monk fish. Wow! Our server didn’t steer us wrong. We definitely will be back!

    いつもワイキキへ行く度に食事したいと思っていたレストランで、今回初めて食事しました。雰囲気はとても良く、楽しみにしていたトリュフのカルボナーラは期待通り美味しくて、ミートソースパスタ(子供が食べられる様に注文)も美味しかったです。牛肉のカルパッチョやカツレツも食べやすかったです。子供も美味しく食べてました!雲丹のパスタやフォアグラ添えリゾットなど、まだまだ食べたいメニューがあるので、また行きたいです!

    ビーフカルパッチョがおいしかった。他はまぁ普通。混んでいたので仕方がないかもしれないが、サーブのテンポがイマイチだった。
