Sorry, we will not accept BYOB.
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).

    Bosco salad is our favorite, tasty beets and pears. Frutti Di Mare is done perfectly done al dente. King Salmon was so moist and flavorful. Our favorite Italian restaurant in Honolulu

    Food was amazing! The salmon, filet with foie gras, and squid ink were all excellent and perfectly cooked. We had empty water glasses throughout the rest of the night, and had to ask for them - not a big deal - only downside from the dining experience.

    Great food and service. Our table was outside. So, had to hear all street noises. Expensive, but worth it.

    Taormina continues to be the standard for Italian food in Waikiki. The dishes are authentic with the finest ingredients, good service, and a real value for the quality in Waikiki, where that is not always true. When my friends ask me for a reference for a Waikiki restaurant, Taormina is always on my shortlist. You can’t go wrong.

    Food, wine and service were all excellent. Enjoyed the Nero Frutti di Mare and the bruschetta very much. Service was attentive and friendly. I would probably request an inside table next time though the lanai is very nice. There were some loud delivery trucks during our early dinner. Shouldn’t be a problem for later dining times.

    ワイキキにありながら、それほどの高級感もなく、それでもある程度かしこまった感じがします おいしい料理をいただきました すこしおしゃれに、でもそれほど肩肘張らないという人にオススメです
