Best Contemporary Italian Restaurants in Summit

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.

I went to this place on a date for my anniversary. This Italian restaurant was amazing from the awesome to the food and ambience. Definitely recommend as I have this place 5 stars and only the second place ever to give this score too, our waiter was a nice guy named Mario was an amazing waiter and even came out with a cake for our anniversary. Definitely recommend and worth it and the food amazing.

We come here at least once or twice a year for special occasions because the food is always reliably delicious. We had the garlic shrimp for appetizer, which is the ABSOLUTE BEST. The bread and garlic dip are a truly dangerous combo. We can never stop eating it, so by the time dinner comes we're usually already pretty full! My husband had the french onion pork chop (a very large-sized pork chop), I had the steak tips with egg noodles stroganoff (not typically on their menu), and my daughter had the chicken francaise (she always gets this because the chicken is so tender and the sauce is so tasty). Our waiter was super friendly and humorous. The interior of the restaurant is usually plain, but at Christmas is always festively-decorated.

The carbonara is my favorite pasta on the menu it did not disappoint. Had a chicken special which was also good. Regrettably it was really hot upstairs, and they don’t seem to be able to do anything about that. And I mean 79 degrees if the thermostat is to be believed. On a 20 degree night. Seems it is all one zone heat/AC.

My boyfriend and I had the best time at 16 Prospect last night! Joe Regan lead an open mic that was fantastic! I sang along with some amazing vocalists and the place was so festive and lively. It was an awesome night. The food and drinks were delicious. The servers were attentive and cheerful. It was so much fun.
