MUST TRY RESTAURANT in HONOLULU! || [Waikiki, Oahu, Hawaii] Best Sicilian Noodles!

[@masteryoda7583]

Absolutely amazing food! Thanks for sharing this video.

[@rznante]

Another great recommendation! Marnie and I have been waiting to come here from when we first saw your episode. We were not disappointed. We let the manager know where we got the recommendation…. We’re your ears ringing? We had a nice chat about your channel, your fair critics, and real mannerisms that people can Identify with. Thats’s 2 for 2…. And we have 2 more to go. Oh wait! What did we have? I just read our last post when we booked our dinner…. I have the Sea food Pescatore and Marnie had the Nero “Frutti di Mare” Thanks again! Mike and Marnie

[@yokweification]

I want to try everything you had tonight. Thank you for sharing you Italian food experience at Taormina's restaurant. Mahalo Amanda & Felix and DeVonne.

[@milestakiguchi1264]

[@alant.541]

LOL! You guys were really ready to grind. Love Italian food, especially pasta. Everything looked amazing. Excellent recommendation.

[@AmandaFelixEats]

Mahalo Alan! Can’t go wrong with some ono pasta🤤🤙🏻

[@sithbk0075]

Sparkling water is the best.

[@AmandaFelixEats]

😋 we rarely got sparkling before, but now we got the soda stream, we’re addicted!

[@kaohumookini6966]

Aloha, I am using your vids to plan my dining when I come home this summer. I’m a local boy who has lived on the mainland for 40 years. I can’t wait to visit Taormina Sicilian Cuisine, Ray’s Cafe, Hamada General Store, Jenny’s Shrimp, Kuhio Grille, Aloha Steak House, etc. I do have a request. Since food is an integral part in our lives, can you do a segment on the food locations that have special significance in your lives (e.g. Where you went on your first date; the place that you visit annually; the restaurant that re-kindles your love for each other; a family favorite; etc.). I think we would all benefit from your sharing. Happy 2022! [Kaohu Mo’okini. Orlando, FL]

[@dagrindzguy4250]

Love how you are "dressed fancy" and still wearing shorts. Awesome!

[@mattbausch2579]

Food looked AMAZING!!!! Stayed at the Embassy and walked right past it will definitely go next time we are back on Oahu!!!

[@hanyoo6043]

I've walked past this place for years!!!! Now I'm in Washington state and have to fly to eat there. Looks amazing!

[@DaveJimmy1]

My favorite dish there is the Veal Milanese. Awesome presentation ( and Price) but worth it!

[@AmandaFelixEats]

So good!

[@annchee1329]

The meal looks delish! We have to make a trip to Taormina and Appetito (per your review). Looking forward to dining at these 2 restaurants

[@AmandaFelixEats]

Mahalo Ann! Hope you enjoy them😋

[@raeann63]

WOWZA i am actually drooling lol! visited taormina awhile ago (it was delish!) and i'd been thinking about going back recently. now i must! the pasta all looked fresh (vs. dried) which i rarely treat myself to at home, so i'm definitely looking forward to the luscious seafood that i love. thanks for a wonderful dinner - it looked like a great time! ❤

[@AmandaFelixEats]

So glad you’ve been and enjoyed it! We looooved that seafood pasta! Making me drool just thinking about it🤤🤙🏻

[@joemagnus5085]

I've walked by this place 100s of times feeling curious & savoring the aromas. Thanks for reviewing it. I'm Italian American & can make my own delicious pastas but if I want some next level options (and feel like splurging lol) I'll hit them up for lunch with that Kamaaina discount

[@spang9782]

As a lot of people mentioned, we walk past Taormina but have never gone in to eat. Maybe now we will thanks to your vlog! BTW, just want to give some props to Felix. I have to say from your early videos until now, he has really "blossomed." Is that the right word? The girls have always been outgoing but Felix seemed a little conservative in the early vlogs. Now, he's on fire!

[@AmandaFelixEats]

Always trying to improve! I guess he isn't as camera shy anymore! 😅 so glad you're still enjoying our show 🙏🤙

[@squeento]

Puttanesca is good too, you guys should try it or make it, it's easy

[@kivlogs7812]

Pasta & seafood galore 😋 My dream! Not sure how you guys always mop the food. That truffle pasta got me excited though. As always, nice vid 😁

[@kathychung2162]

We went to Apetito because of your video, we loved it! Will have to def try Taormina next!

[@AmandaFelixEats]

You guys won't regret it! So good! 👍

[@paulafriedmanalohafrommaryland]

Aloha Amanda & Felix (and Yvonne too). I've walked by this restaurant when I was staying nearby and was always curious about what the food was like, so mahalo for showcasing them in this video. Food looked great, especially the seafood/squid ink pasta and that seafood bruchetta. You asked if we like still or sparkling water, I like sparkling (w/lime). Have you ever tried Il Lupino in the Royal Hawaiian Shopping Center? Was curious about that restaurant as well.

[@AmandaFelixEats]

Mahalo Paula!🤙🏻 we’ve been wanting to try that place as well!

[@MiaKleeKai]

We’ll be there in a month! I hope the truffle pasta is still half off by the time we get there!

[@Keliiyamashita]

Alright! Added it to my list.

Taormina was my Italian go to spot before I left home! 🍝🥺😊

[@harleydy]

I've been wanting to try Taormina & Appetito. Everything looks so good! When I finally make my way there, I'm getting that sardine pasta. I love anchovies! I'm more of a lunch person. Not into fancy. I think I saw that Taormina's full menu was available for lunch at one point. Must look into it! Thanks for another see-what-you're-missing video!

[@AmandaFelixEats]

Definitely go for lunch when the splurging mood strikes 👍

[@808lublabs4]

Ahhhh, truffle carbonara. That’s my go to whenever we go there.

[@AmandaFelixEats]

Half off market price!!👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼

WOW! Sardines and olives are my absolute favorite too (I don't care much for capers though). Can't wait to try this place!

[@AmandaFelixEats]

Hope you can try it out Lisa! Loooove sardines and olives too😋

[@TinaPauHana]

sardines is extremely popular in Italian dishes. Simple dish to make at home is a sardine base, garlic and olive oil, mix with pasta and it's so good. I also add pepper flakes cause I like a little kick in my food. Sooo good.

[@KathyBayne]

Aloha Amanda 'Felix and Yvonne!. I live in Mōʻiliʻili, so I am in Waikiki all the time and Taormina is one of my absolutely favorite restaurants. The food, the service everything is exceptional. As a New York City transplant I appreciate a good Italian restaurant (especially one with a Sicilian twist)

[@lauriesimpson2976]

Thanks so much for sharing this! I was wondering how things were. We lived in Sicily for three years and the street we lived on was named..Taormina!! So excited to go!!

[@AmandaFelixEats]

Interesting fact! Let us know how it compares to the real deal! 👍

[@titasmom678]

"I dunno. I've just always had tap!" You brought back memories of when I was in Europe and was asked the same thing. Now when you make it to Europe you'll know what to expect cuz you'll be pros. Lol.

Mahalo carol! Hope to visit Europe one day! Hopefully soon🤤

That places looks great! We just booked another trip to Honolulu a couple days ago… We know where we will be going for our date night dinner! Last trip we went to 100 Sails after your vlog… this trip we will be going Sicilian. Now we have to decide what to have… I wonder if they have “what Felix and Amanda had” on the menu. “Pinkies out” -Felix Thank you for sharing! Mike and Marnie

[@AmandaFelixEats]

We hope you guys enjoy it! Mahalo for the support Mike and Marnie! 🤙

[@dadcation]

Aloha Amanda and Felix, that Italian restaurant looks awesome and delicious but you have to try the real Italian cuisine in Italy. Jay and I have a favorite restaurant in Trastevere, Rome called Da Enzo and they have all the pastas you want and we especially order Cacio E Pepe. Oh guys it's to die for. Maybe someday when this pandemic is over we can all go to Italy and enjoy a food tour. Great video guys keep up the good work. God Bless.

[@AmandaFelixEats]

That would be awesome! We’ve always dreamed of going to Italy and eating authentic food! Mahalo dadcation!

[@michaelwittkopp3379]

Just a kind of a funny thing...watching you guys eat the pasta/noodles, it reminded me of my youth and how different cultures eat their noodles...the Asian slurp, the Italian fork roll, there's no wrong way, just all different. But, if you use a fork and a spoon, you're going to get an eye-roll from an Italian. I know, having first moved to Europe, I got plenty of them before I learned the Italian way. 😅

[@AmandaFelixEats]

Interesting! Had no idea that they don’t eat their noodles that way! Good to know, mahalo Michael🤙🏻 we hope we don’t offend anyone🙏🏼 sorry in advance❤️

[@michaelwittkopp3379]

No offence taken, and mine wasn't intent on that either. If you ate your noodles Italian style in Hawaii, everyone would think you're not local. Aka, I'd have to eat my saimin noodles with a fork...and get a whole bunch of eye-rolls in the process. 🤣

[@bjenlet7710]

Have your guys tried skybox? It's a locally owned restaurant at the international market place.

[@judywang4547]

Looks great! To Evon’s al dente comment…when Y and I were in Rome in 2019, man, their pasta was al dente - I personally felt “undercooked”! I feel U.S. al dente is still more cooked and “softer” than the pasta in Rome. All good! All 3 of you looks beautiful!

[@AmandaFelixEats]

We hope one day we can go to Italy and have the authentic thing and experience!! Mahalo Judy🤙🏻🥰

[@melbarrera6507]

how do u guys stay in shape eating all that yummy rich dishes

[@teresah411]

Taormina looked bomb! Even though they said it was traditional Sicilian, it seemed like it had a lot of Japanese influences since all of you kept saying how light the fare was…not super heavy. Regardless, the food looked amazing and I will put that on my list the next time we go to Hawaii! Always nice seeing Yvonne..she is always so good with her descriptions and is always funny. Another awesome video!

[@AmandaFelixEats]

The GM did mention that Taormina had some Japanese influence dishes but they primarily specialize in Sicilian cuisine. Apologies, we should've mentioned in the video! Glad you enjoyed this episode! 🤙

Aloha Amanda and Felix! Taomina looks fantastic. Next time we're in Waikiki, we're gonna check it out. Great to see Yvonne again! I like her analysis of the dishes. Amanda, you look fantastic! Love ya' Felix, but you gotta up your game fashion-wise. The shirt can use an upgrade. It's a little wrinkly and unless you're sporting a bodybuilder's pec's, you should go another button up. Full disclosure, I've been busted doing the same. If you're going with Aloha shirts, go with a nice island style pattern, otherwise go with a nice, ironed, dress shirt. You gotta keep up with Amanda and Yvonne bruddah! I love the content you two. The days of Christmas vids were awesome. We got a great insight into your home lives. Happy 2022 and be well. Aloha

How about sharing the price of the different dishes.

[@philipsantos3263]

Devonne has foodie radar.

[@cherrollC]

Growing up in hawaii we never needed to know the difference between distilled, sparkling, alkaline, mineral and whatever water is out there.😂 cause we drink tap growing up...wasn't until we moved to Vegas that I found out the difference and now since I'm trying to stay away from soda I've gotten used to sparkling water. So now I drink Bubly or La Croix sparkling water. I have a hard time drinking water period so this helps me to drink more. When I want that carbonation without all the bad stuff in soda..👍🏽 I didn't like it at first but it takes getting used to. The more you drink it the more you get used to it and with all the different natural flavors they have now it's even better.

[@patjosiah9356]

I always have city punch on ice🤣

[@AmandaFelixEats]

😂😂😂

[@toddkakazu2985]

It’s gotta be sparkling water. I usually keep two cases at home.

[@AmandaFelixEats]

We just got a soda stream at home and love it!

[@junegoodwin9345]

Amanda and Felix I got a notification that at the shopping center I guess all Moana they have a dessert place called Mango Mango could you please check it out for me I’d appreciate that and by the way I love your videos have a blessed day happy new year

[@robertrichmond7569]

Oh, I was so interested in the food you guys, I don't even know what I'd order when I go there, so many great choices...I forgot to mention the parking receipt in Felix's shirt pocket. Not a classy move in an upper class restaurant brah. Keep it outa sight. I hate to be a stickler on the details, but I really want you guys to succeed because I really like y'all and your content and if you're putting yourself out there in social media, you need to sweat the details. Just saying...Love y'all! Mahalo for being real!

[@lamarplacido5343]

I can imagine the total bill

[@ryan12177]

Ate here last night based on this video and it was okay but not top shelf Italian food and certainly not up to the standard of the prices. I get that they are making the food a bit bland for tourists, but it was majorly under-seasoned for Italian food.

[@rohashimoto2774]

Lol. Is Felix wearing shorts, slippers? Totally local.

[@suzieq4750]

I'm not one to make negative comments but one look at the menu and I would have turned around and walked out. I come from a background of frugality and also a strong line of excellent cooks so I could never pay prices like those. I saw the bruschetta appetizer and I will be making that. I never understood the appeal of truffles or uni as they are both unpalatable, imo.

[@scully392z]

With Covid so high you’re out and about? I don’t know man. I wouldn’t because I’ve seen how bad Covid can be.

[@AmandaFelixEats]

Thanks for your concern! We actually filmed this when we first moved, back in early November way before the first case of the new variant, we just didn’t have time to edit and put it out during vlogmas👌🏼
