Best Sicilian Restaurants in Newark

Last night’s experience was hands down the best food we have ever had. Every single dish was absolutely flawless, and the chefs truly outdid themselves. There wasn’t a single thing we didn’t enjoy—it was perfection from start to finish. The service was equally incredible; attentive, friendly, and made us feel so welcome. The atmosphere was intimate and radiated authentic Italian vibes, creating the perfect setting for an unforgettable evening. We haven’t even had food this good in Italy! The quality, taste, and overall experience far exceeded our expectations, especially for such a great price. We loved it so much that we’ll be purchasing a gift card for our family so they can experience it too. This place is a true gem, and we can’t wait to return. Bravo to the team!

Had an excellent dinner that did not disappoint on any level! Perfect little Italian spot with attentive and quick service. We got the cacio e pepe and the chicken parm special, both absolutely delicious! Just wish we had more room in our stomachs to finish our meals!

My family thoroughly enjoyed our meals. The seating is very tight, with tables so close to each other. But, the overall ambiance was great, as were the servers. We started with a delicious bottle of COS Nero di Lupo wine, from Sicily. Our app for the 3 of us, was the Buratta, which when spread on the great bread for the table, was really good. My wife had the bucatini cacio e pepe was good, but a bit gummy. Taste was great. My son had the Ossobuco ravioli in its sauce, pecorino fondue, thyme and lemon. He rated that as excellent! I tasted and agreed. I opted for the Green Tagliatelle with Wild Boar Ragù Flavoured with Herbs and Black Truffle. Fantastic! When I made the reservation, I noted that we were there for my older son's birthday. They surprised him with cannolis and a candle. Nice touch! One additional comment, there are many wine options, but the vast majority are quite expensive. The one bottle I asked for, which was somewhat reasonable, was out of stock. The bottle we did get was $25 more, but as stated above, delicious. I do highly recommend this restaurant!

Taormina's food is inspired and prepared by and excellent chef! These recipes are authentic Italian favorites and they taste like Heaven imported to Earth. Excellent service and a very reasonable price for the high quality of the food that is prepared for you. I vote it as one of the best restaurants I have ever gone to.
