Unfortunately, this place missed the mark when it came to
Unfortunately, this place missed the mark when it came to Italian dishes for me. We came with a party of 4 and after spending over $450 for dinner, I felt unamused. The bruschetta and clams were our first appetizers and the bruschetta was more like a Crustini topped with alfredo sauce w/scallops. I didn't read the description on the menu which was my fault. I expected balsamic which this restaurant loves to use, by the way, but didn't have any on the bruschetta or any tomatoes. It was sloppy with a lot of alfredo sauce, spinach and scallops. Not what you expect for a bruschetta. The clams lacked butter and umami. Husband ordered from the full course menu and ordered the filet mignon as an option. His first course of squid ink pasta with shrimp was actually pretty descent. The filet mignon had no flavor and had drizzled balsamic surrounding it. For some reason, the server didn't ask him how he wanted his steak which was probably because it was the size of his big thumb. LOL. It was super rare when it came out and hubby hates rare. The random mushroom and veggies that came with the filet again had no salt on them. No flavor whatsoever. I had the Seafood Pescatore which was extremely fishy. I love seafood pasta but this was extraordinarily fishy which didn't sit right with me. The pasta was cooked al dente which was great but the clams in there had a few sand in there that I crunched into. Was unpleasant for sure. Other parties at our table had the duck and the risotto. The duck was surrounded with what seemed like oyster sauce and tasted like a Chinese dish. I didn't feel like it represented any Italian dish in any way. Unfortunately, this is not going to be one of the Italian restaurants we will be visiting again. (Especially in Waikiki).
Be the first to ReplyOne of worst dinners I've ever had, bland and no flavor.
I've ate all over Italy and some very, very good Italian restaurants in Seattle. This restaurant needs some new recipes!

My family and I have been coming to Taormina for years and it's our favorite Italian spot on island. We come for the incredible service and wonderful ambiance but stay for the delicious bolognese! It's unique with the secret ingredient of balsamic vinegar and is hands down one of my favorite meals. The wine list is impressive and you can't forget to end the night with their affogato and a Sambuca. Shoutout to Robert and the entire team for taking such good care of us! That's what true hospitality is all about.
Be the first to ReplyI just don't understand how this restaurant got such good
I just don't understand how this restaurant got such good reviews. The food was below average at best. I ordered the breaded veal it had way too much cheese, and my mom and son ordered the bolognese and it just didn't have a good flavor at all. The service was good. Very nice and attentive. The ambiance was average. Overall I will not go back to this restaurant

What a treat! This place came recommended by a local - we're visiting from the San Francisco Bay Area. Dinner was on point, the drinks were great, and the service was elevated without being stuffy. Special thanks to Robert for helping guide us through a wonderful evening. Be prepared for a great evening if you're able to secure a table. Good luck!

I'd only heard about this location until recently, and I'm glad that I was finally able to check it out in person. My better half and myself were seated right by the kitchen, and although it was a little hectic and noisy, it was fun to watch a working kitchen staff. Overall, the ambiance was to my liking, though it may not satisfy all. If you like a little more space and/or quiet, ask to be seated closer to the front of the establishment. The waitstaff all seemed to help one another and were very friendly and knowledgeable. Though our waitress forgot an item or two and we had to ask more than once for water, I didn't gig them too much on this front as they were exceptionally busy with a large party. As for the food.....I can not find a single thing to fault Chef Hiro or his staff on as every course was amazing. My better half and I split the clams, she had the squid ink pasta while I had the pescatore. I had a glass of the Sicilian Nero d'Avola and we split the chocolatecake with vanilla ice cream. It was the best tasing Italian food I've had ever since Serena's in Kaimuki closed. This is a must try for a date night or small gathering. I wouldn't recommend bringing the kids to this one, so save it for a romantic night out.

Terrible carbonara tartuffo pasta, americanized with a huge amount of bacon and very, very little truffle for $70!!!

A taste of Sicily in the islands? Heck, yes!We enjoyed our dinner... the prix-fixe is a really good deal at $82/person for what you get. I had the Nero Frutti di Mare, and he had the Truffle Carbonara. Both were delicious. Neither of us like tiramisu, so they were kind enough to swap another dessert. I was surprised that there was nothing on the menu with pistachios as they are very common in Sicily, especially Taormina. Service was good, but a bit slow, so it felt at times like we had to wait longer than ideal. We were seated on the outside patio area, which was nice.
Be the first to ReplyWhat a spectacular place to go on a date or have a business
What a spectacular place to go on a date or have a business meeting. The dinning areas are very intimate and surprisingly not that loud. They do have outside seating but we sat inside on the second floor. The bottle menu is good but they only have select wines for by the glass. I ended up starting with their signature Manhattan and got a Nero d'Avola with my spaghetti bolognese. The meat sauce here is only beef! A nice change from pork always being in it, because I don't eat pork. My fiancé also ended up getting the spaghetti bolognese as well but gluten dairy free style. Now this place is super gluten dairy free friendly. Almost everything on the menu is made fresh so they can be easily modified. Both of our dishes were delicious with the minor hiccup of mine being a little too cheesy. Our waiter was very friendly and knew the menu well. He also helped review all of the options my fiancé had being dairy and gluten free. We did however splurge on the gluten free chocolate cake and let me tell you it was worth it. I highly recommend this place!
Be the first to ReplyPros:-Most of the food is impressive, especially the uni
Pros:-Most of the food is impressive, especially the uni pasta (Sea Urchin pasta) with it's rich and creamy texture. A lot of other uni pasta I've had lacks flavor, but not this one. You could really tasy the uni.-The wine and bottled wine list is well curated and pairs well with the food. We had a Pinot Grigio and a Syrah. Both were well balanced and smooth.-Open at Lunch-Indoor and outdoor seating with a suitable atmosphere -Parking available -Appetiser and entree portions are decent size Cons:-Service varies. I've had attentive servers most times, but this past time our waiter didn't really check on us and it took a really long time to order.-If you sit outside sometimes bird come around and pick at unattended food. (Can't help this since it's outside, just be careful)-Pasta portion is small so I would order a little more pasta than you think. We got 2 for 4 people and left wanting more pasta-Pricey (what do you expect for fine dining)If you don't mind splurging, Taormina is a great place to get Italian Japanese Fusion. The Uni Pasta is definitely a recommendation, as is the Beef Carpaccio (can function as a salad and an appetizer as the amount of arugula you get is huge). Order ala carte as the course meals seemed even more expensive and restrictive in regards to what you can order.
Be the first to ReplyTasty food, beautifully presented.
Prices are a tad high, given the size of the portions. Complimentary sorbet was served. Service is slow-- combining the traits of Hawaii with those of Sicily. The waiter was very courteous. Overall, a wonderful dining experience. This was our third visit. We do intend to pay a fourth visit the next time we are in Waikiki.
Be the first to ReplyEveryone loves a good al dente pasta.
This is why we keep spending a pretty penny to dine here This restaurant serves complimentary focaccia and olive oil with balsamic vinegar, need i say more? Honestly, you could probably order anything and it's dang delicious. Our notable favorites are: Uni Pasta hands down. The uni pasta is rich, creamy and everything you wanted in a pasta but didn't know about until you tried it. Imagine: eating a pasta and you don't feel terrible afterwards because it was light. It's definitely big portioned and something I recommend sharing with a friend. I think eating a whole plate would be delicious but also a little monotonous. Plus, we all love a good family style dinner night. Lamb chops are cooked to perfection, nicely tender. Recently tried the bolognese pasta and that was also amazing. The sauce was complex with multiple notes; a perfect balance between sweet and umami. Chocolate cake is rich and is complemented well with the ice cream.

If you're a fan of truffle, then you simply must try the truffle carbonara at this fantastic Sicilian restaurant! The dish was a perfect blend of creamy sauce, tender pasta, and of course, the unmistakable flavor of truffle. Each bite was a delight for the senses, and we savored every moment of this indulgent dish.For those who prefer seafood, the catch of the day is definitely worth trying. Our server informed us that it was fresh, and we couldn't resist ordering it. The dish was expertly prepared - the fish was perfectly cooked and served with a side of seasonal vegetables. The delicate flavor of the fish was complemented perfectly by the light seasoning, and we found ourselves going back for more.As for the service, it was simply outstanding. Our server was friendly, professional, and attentive, and our food arrived promptly and at the perfect temperature. We also appreciated the little touches, such as the freshly baked focaccia read that was brought to our table.Overall, our dining experience at this Italian restaurant was exceptional. We highly recommend trying the truffle carbonara and the catch of the day, and we're confident that you'll be just as impressed with the service as we were. We can't wait to go back!

Sloppy and under seasoned food. The prices for this restaurant and the quality they serve are absolutely ridiculous. My husband's salmon was undercooked and the bolognese I had was way too sweet-yuck. Wait staff was also sorely lacking. Save your money and go somewhere where the food is actually good. Would have been happier at Cheescake Factory or Outback.

I haven't been here since 2017, so I was very happy that we had a celebration here last night! We were talking so mich that I forgot to take photos...I'm sorry! For appetizers, we ordered the eggplant caponata, steamed clams, and seafood bruschetta, salad. I could eat the eggplant dish every time....I loved it! The clams are great, and what i expected for taste, etc. The seafood bruschetta was not to my liking but it is a personal preference dish. I've never tried there uni pasta before but now I know why people love that here! What a perfect creamy luxurious taste! I've tried uni pasta at other restaurants but this would be my top establishment if uni pasta is what you want to eat! Then the grilled monchong was so delicious! Perfect texture and flavors!! I was so happy to order this and lived every bite!!!!

We absolutely loved the food here and the ambiance. The service was outstanding and the location is perfect; you can to enjoy a walk before/after dinner towards the shops in Waikiki. I wish they open for lunch and not only for dinner time.

A great place to come for celebrations! The staff asked us repeatedly if we were celebrating something and when we said we are celebrating a wedding, they brought out the two desserts in the picture for us. As for the food, the seafood tasted fresh and the flavors were well balanced. It was a little on the salty side for my taste but it may be perfect for others.

My boyfriend chose to eat here for his birthday lunch as recommended by his coworker. He loves carbonara pasta and wanted to try the truffle carbonara here. It was very delicious! The sauce was unique, rich, and creamy. I decided to order the squid ink pasta, and it was also very good. The pasta and seafood were cooked perfectly. Sadly the uni pasta was not available on the day that we went. I really wanted to try that. Hopefully next time we visit Waikiki they'll have it available. Other than that, everything went great! The service was awesome and the ambiance was nice, modern, and clean. We also enjoyed the tiramisu "happy birthday" dessert at the end. Definitely worth a try if you're in the area! The menu has a good variety of dishes you don't see all the time. This is coming from someone who is from Los Angeles, CA. We practically have everything. I look forward to visiting again in the future!

Be the first to ReplyI normally don't eat out for Italian because I'd rather
I normally don't eat out for Italian because I'd rather cook at home. Since we were in Waikiki I wanted to try something new. Taormina has a set menu for lunch that looked pretty good and the price is reasonable for lunch. So, my daughter and I decided to check it out. To our surprise the food was really good. Chef Hiro does a really good job on the flavors. Everything was flavorful and cooked well. I love foie gras but most places overcook it. I requested the waiter to tell the chef that I like it on the rare side and it was perfect. Melt in your mouth... It was definitely worth the extra $8. Their homemade tiramisu was very light and creamy. What a great finish!
