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).

    The food was amazing and very flavorful but hard to enjoy when your experience is already ruined. Our waiter was rushing around and was talking a mile a minute. Also told us we had until 8:00 pm to finish because the table was booked. Asked if we were told of this, we said no. Then followed up later that it wasn’t the case. At that point we were just ready to leave. The whole dinner just felt uncomfortable.

    We've now eaten at Taormina three times, and it has become one of our favorite restaurants in Honolulu for a special night out. The food, the drinks, and the service are all excellent. We've tried a variety of the menu items, and each one has been a winner.

    Unfortunately, we had a very disappointing experience due to poor service from our server. Despite being seated early, several tables that arrived after us received their food well before we did. There was no follow-up or communication on the delay, she’d even walk past our table and not say anything. And when she did come by, water was poured in silence without any acknowledgment. It was only after the busser overheard us expressing frustration that the server approached us, stating the kitchen was backed up, despite the fact we were the only guests sitting outside—contradicting an earlier comment that it was running smoothly. Her lack of attentiveness and professionalism throughout the evening was concerning. Regrettably, we will not be returning.

    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 😃.

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