Amazing food quality , excellent service & nice ambience. All the staff were really fast & efficient. Portions are good size & didnt realised that they have a free parking area in the back of the restaurant. Would definitely recommend others & will visit again.
Excellent restaurant...food quality & service beyond reproach. Our party of 10 enjoyed another birthday celebration here. All were impressed with the food & friendly personalized service. I highly recommend for from a dinner for two to big celebrations...they're experts in accommodating large groups.

The food was straight up AMAZING. I had the gnocchi vesuvio, the dough just melted in my mouth. Best i ever had. I also tried the margherita pizza. I first had a block of cheese. i instantly fell in love with it. i ate 2 more slices. however, i do not recommend the shirley temple drink. there was almost no flavour but the 4 generous cherries given with the drink were good. i highly recommend the two dishes. i also suggest ordering the fried calamari. insanely delicious. a rubbery haven of flavour coated with a crunchy, rich in flavour exterior. for dessert i had a chocolate ice cream. the most delicious, amazing.. delicious, dessert i have EVER had. a must order if you come here. the waiters & waitresses were friendly & the manager was very funny! we even had a little chat with him. Taormina Lounge II: we came back 3 weeks later & they gave us 2 shirley temples on the house!! staff very nice & helpful! I had the all dressed pizza, was amazing. an even better experience than last time!
"This is our second visit, & I believe it's one of the best restaurants I've ever been to. The ingredients are incredibly fresh, the sauce is flavorful, & the chef's meticulous cooking can be tasted in every bite. The service is relaxed & pleasant, making you feel comfortable. We even met a couple from another table, they are regular customers to the restaurant, & we chatted over the table. It was a delightful & wonderful evening! The children also loved the food here & couldn't stop praising it! We will for sure come back!
We had a 30+ reservation for our son's 30th birthday & had the space upstairs for us. Bar, music & really nice atmosphere for cocktail hour. Once seated, service was on point, staff friendly & professional, for a 30+ group, everyone was served their appetizers & meal at same time & hot. Food was very good! Shrimp, octopus & veal especially delicious. A very big thank you for a lovely evening.

Superbe soirée de fête dans la salle du deuxième étage. Nourriture & décor excellents. Le DJ maison a fait danser tout le monde avec un excellent choix musical. La Photo Booth est un must pour amuser les gens & produire de très bons souvenirs. Merci à tout le staff pour l'excellent service. 😊
Nous étions pressée par les employés à quitter les lieux bien avant l'heure convenu au moment de réserver la salle. Après en avoir fait part à la propriétaire selon elle ce n'était pas le cas. Je trouve que enlever les tables les chaises, les verres & tout le décor pendant que les clients font la fête ça ne se fait pas! Les employés on commencer à tout retirer 4h avant la fin de la soirée. Mon cocktail à 15$ que j'avais à peine entamé à été ramasser par un serveur lorsque j'étais sur la piste de danse. On passai au verre de plastique il fallait vite ranger la vaisselle en verre! La nourriture était très bonne mais les portions trop petite. Le DJ où plutôt serveur qui mettai de la musique ne jouait jamais les demande spécial non plus, une playlist spottify aurait facilement fait mieux que ça ! C'est un bel endroit avec beaucoup de potentiel mais nous n'y retourneront pas. C'était très cher payer pour la façon dons nous avons été traiter & la propriétaire s'en est laver les mains après tout $$$$

I had dinner here last night for my friends birthday & I loved every minute of it. The staff is sooo nice & welcoming that I had to leave a review. There's just something about having a 10/10 service & an amazing meal. We ordered the taormina pizza, lasagna & the gigi vivaldi & I still can't get over how good it was. The pizza is a MUST try with their chilli oil!
Came here for a Christmas party & there was a set menu that was $55 with a dessert & no drinks included. The options were super basic & tasted super bland. I can't believe I paid that much for a menu of that caliber. The cake was still frozen, tasted like grocery store quality & the service was ok at best. I know I'm not getting the full experience, but I can't help but feel a little cheated.
