Waikīkī-based Taormina Sicilian Cuisine, known for its authentic, Sicilian-style pastas and seafood, is launching a limited-time summer happy hour.
Its happy hour menu will be available daily from 4 to 5:30 p.m. in the eatery’s patio section. The menu features discounts on some of the eatery’s most popular appetizers, along with drink specials.
The special caviar bites ($42) featured that day included bite-sized blinis with housemade, chilled white wine cream sauce and caviar. Other happy hour-exclusive dishes include the prosciutto plate ($18) and prosciutto and cheese plate ($18). The latter comes with thinly sliced prosciutto, aged Parmesan cheese and honey.
During happy hour, customers can also get half-sized portions of popular appetizers. Choose from beef carpaccio ($18), eggplant caponata ($14) and seafood bruschetta ($16). The beef carpaccio features thinly sliced beef tenderloin topped with parmesan, arugula, extra-virgin olive oil and the eatery’s housemade caper vinaigrette.
Meanwhile, the seafood bruschetta features bruschetta topped with mascarpone cream, sauteed shrimp, scallops, sundried tomatoes and spinach.
The eatery’s truffle carbonara (market price), is a customer favorite. It features fresh spaghetti with pancetta, and is finished with a poached egg and truffles, which are shaved tableside. The pasta is usually $68, so it’s $34 after the discount. This happy hour discount is only available from 5 to 5:30 p.m.
(Note: The 50% discount is currently also available during lunch as a featured special.)
Drink discounts include $8 beers, $10 wines by the glass, $16 specialty cocktails and red or white sangria decanters ($30 each). The sangria decanters are designed to serve approximately four glasses.
