    I've wanted to go since they opened and never got around to it. This year for my birthday dinner we finally got to go and had the best time. The ambiance and the decor of the place were just beautiful, the bar with a million tequilas was pretty awesome. I will go again and highly recommend this restaurant. My favorite thing to eat there was the Street corn.

    Taormina is consistently excellent. As a family owned and operated business, all of the family members put their utmost effort into creating a great experience for all patrons. Sal's food is amazing - hitting the mark every time.

    Wanted to catch a good meal before seeing a show at The State Theatre. I had a reservation for two. I ran a bit late due to snow and traffic. I called the restaurant to tell them I was running late, and they were accommodating and understanding and held my table. Staff was friendly. Facility was upbeat and clean. Food portioning was above satisfactory and very tasty. Drinks were fantastic!

    Celebrate my husband birthday with the kids. Reserved table for 11 people. Waiter was ok but wasn't around much to assist us. Bathroom was so dirty didn't want my 6 year old to use it. No paper towels on one side of the bath room. Floors were wet and dirty.
