Taormina’s in Kenilworth, a place we have heard about through word of mouth, and mostly good. So we tried and wasn’t disappointed. For appetizers we ordered the stuffed artichoke and mussels in hot sauce. Entree was swordfish steak over escarole and beans and a sausage/chicken combination for my wife. The food was delicious and did not disappoint.

Hidden gem of a restaurant. If you’re a fan of the Negroni, this is the place to order it!

A family night out for some Italian food. We had a drink at the bar and the drinks were very good with a nice pour. Dinner selections were ample between appetizers, pasta, entrees and specials. You will need reservations and parking was on the street with free parking after 6pm, otherwise it is 2 hour metered parking. Food was very good

The food is very good and they prepare the food how you ask for it. The service was very good, the servers are very attentive. Prices are moderate, but all restaurants are charging more, because they are paying more.

Foods decently good, portions are quite small and pretty pricey. Beware of the $30 corking fee they charge per bottle of wine. What a rip off, the least the servers could’ve done was let us know the price per bottle, let alone some sort of notice on the menu. I will not be returning.

Wonderful to see Taormina back. Excellent menu. Drinks were perfect (Taormina Spritzer) Entees perfect (Lobster ravioli and Jumbo shrimp, vodka sauce) Tiramisu then Vanilla gelato drowned in espresso, marvelous finish. Service above and beyond as usual.

I want to say the people working there are very friendly and nice. However the food we ordered was a different story. I didn’t like the shrimp tasted like it was frozen and the salmon was only ordinary. If I didn’t eat 6 pieces of bread I would have left there hungry. The ruggula and the bread and oil were good. Now maybe some of the other dishes they serve are better but I probably won’t go back to find out. It’s ashame because the atmosphere is great and I was comfortable.

New Years Eve dinner, wife, kids and guest. The hot peppers appetizer, the fried calamari and the lentl soup appetizers were unbelievable delicious. Dinner plates were the filet mignon special, the spicy lobster ravioli and the veal milanesa. All was sooooo good. We had a great time, the waiters were super friendly and service was exceptonal. One of the best Restaurants my town has to offer!
