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 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。

All dishes are tasty , yummy, and excellent. All of us are pleased with great meals. Unfortunately, their service is not very good. It's better to visit as a casual lunch just in my opinion.
