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 very good. Our server was great. We had a reservation. Unfortunately, when our host walked us to the table they had reserved for us, a manager quickly walked over to the table and intervened. We then were rerouted to an area in very back of the restaurant and sat a table besides the food window. Every server walked next to us and got their food from the window behind us for the duration our meal. it was loud and not what we expected for the caliber of restaurant they advertise to be. there were several tables open in the main dining area, including the one we almost sat down at. Bc of the lackluster overall experience, we likely won’t revisit. Again, delicious food.

The food is excellent. I haven’t been there since before COVID and I forgot how much I loved it. I ended up going back twice in one week. The uni pasta was delicious and so was the risotto with fois gras. I want to go back to try the nentaiko pasta next.

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。
