Taormina in City of London

My husband and I took our three grandchildren for a meal on Saturday evening. The service was wonderful. The waiters were very attentive and made the kids feel very involved in the experience. The food was very well presented and all tasted lovely. Would certainly recommend.

Had a lovely meal with my wife and three grandchildren on Saturday 26th February. Staff were very attentive and looked after us. Made a pleasant change from other restaurants we ate at in London where some of the Staff look at you like they've just trodden in something, yet you are paying their wages

Over priced. Poor selection of wine 🍷. Good service but loud talking from the kitchen. Needs a good manager. Seems to have run it's course.

A lovely little restaurant with a very homely feel about the place. The service was very quick but thoughtful. The food was delicious and the wine was lovely. Walked past this restaurant many times in the past but won’t walk by again I’ll definitely be eating there again.

Way to over priced for what you get, I know its London but £22 for a tiny peice of steak and nothing else and the staff were rude and did not smile once, they made me feel like I was an inconvenience to them.I would recommend avoiding this place at all costs, plenty of other places around that will offer a better welcoming and better price for food.

The worst. They seemed nice. But then the Brazilian guy at the bar was talking behind my back making fun of me with the waiter in Portuguese. They thought I am stupid and don’t understand. Wrong! They were literally saying that I am poor and can’t pay because of not ordering a dessert. Way to treat your customers! NOT!!

Have been staying in this area on visits to London over the last 10 years and the more I played "local" on my visits, the more I was keen to eat in the neighborhood, rather than in the city.So, while looking for a quick fix a bit later in the evening (when all restos were packed, food options were limited, and I didn't feel like trekking far), I decided to check out Taormina.Initially, all of their tables were full, but two kind ladies overheard us and let the hostess know they were just on their way out so we were able to grab the table once it was cleaned. Our hostess was absolutely LOVELY (I wish we grabbed her name!!) and she didn't judge us for our terrible jokes (we were quite tired and loopy from a full day of walking), was patient while we made our selections, and overall had a very warm nature to her.We felt so cozy at our table outside and the food was served quickly. The menu items were mostly standard Italian dishes, but the selection was pretty wide and the quality of the food was good. I didn't necessarily feel like I was in Italy, but it was delicious, made with love, and served more than its purpose for us that night...enough so that we even "celebrated" the good find by ordering the apple bake with ice cream as dessert. Now THAT was something exceptional - I could eat it and eat it and eat it.Overall, I think this is actually a really cute date spot, nice place to eat with your family or if you're like us and wanted something casual, easy, and most importantly satisfying.The ambiance is what makes it here, and why I think that ultimately, the Taormina deserves 5 stars. Wish I took a picture of the meal, but my stomach made me act before thinking - haha!

I had dinner here and the food was delicious, the service fantastic and the staff extremely helpful and pleasant, I would definitely return

It's nice! Nothing special about the food. The table outside is very nice for a hot day. There is a Brazilian waiter who is very friendly and attencious. It's a good restaurant. Not excellent but it's good.

Not a bad place. Having been on a trip to Venice recently, we wanted to relive some memories - nice ambience, the pasta is up there with the best we have tasted. The pizza is OK but the base is a little thicker for my preference. But not too bad overall.
