" Had a wonderful family dinner here! We tried a variety of dishes: the calamari, chicken parmesan, and the tiramisu for dessert. Everything was flavorful, and the presentation was beautiful. Our server was delightful and really made us feel welcomed. The only downside was we had to wait quite a bit for our table even though we'd made a reservation. Still, it was worth it for such a nice meal. " (*Curated Review*)

" Dining at Taormina was a delightful experience. As an Italian food enthusiast, I appreciate authentic flavors, and they delivered! I ordered the gnocchi and it was soft and pillowy, topped with a fresh tomato sauce that tasted just like home. The ambiance made it really special and the servers were knowledgeable about the menu. My only complaint would be about a slight delay in getting our drinks refilled. Overall, a lovely dining experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" My family and I love visiting Taormina when we're in the mood for Italian! The food is consistently great, especially the pasta dishes which are clearly made with care. We've tried various items on the menu and not once have we been disappointed. The restaurant itself has a lovely atmosphere, making it a perfect spot for family dinners or special occasions alike. I highly recommend their chocolate cake—it’s divine! " (*Curated Review*)

" Dining here felt like a treat. The ambiance was delightful, and I found myself relaxing while enjoying a lovely dinner. I had the lasagna and it was comforting and rich. The service could have been a little quicker, but the staff was friendly. I will likely be back to try other items on the menu. " (*Curated Review*)

" The best Italian restaurant I have ever been to! Each dish brings me back to my grandmother's cooking. Their pasta is fresh and made in-house. I had the lasagna, and it reminded me of home! The desserts are also incredible; I tried their cannoli, and it was divine. The service was exceptional and very friendly. I can't say enough good things about this place. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had the pleasure of dining at Taormina last weekend, and it was everything I hoped for. The staff was exceptionally friendly, and the service was quick without feeling rushed. I opted for the filet mignon which was cooked perfectly, and my friend had the lobster pasta that she absolutely loved! The ambiance was intimate and made for a great night out. I’m already looking forward to my next visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" I am still raving about the meal I had last week at Taormina! The food was truly exceptional. I had the spicy lobster ravioli, and it was everything I hoped for—unforgettable flavors and the perfect amount of heat. The service was prompt and the staff was friendly. The décor added to the experience, making it feel very intimate and special. I can't wait to return and explore more of their menu. Highly recommend! A must-visit for Italian food lovers.
