Over the past weekend, my brother was in a play my entire family went to see. After the show, we all decided to eat somewhere local. My mother had heard of a smaller, BYOB restaurant in the town over — it fit my family’s criteria.

The small seating area was packed and loud. There must have been birthday parties and other events going on because every table was full. My family all ordered interesting dishes; I decided to go with the steak stromboli, which was great.

The portions were massive, so when they asked about dessert, no one took them up. I was a bit sad because I saw some really nice items on the dessert menu. It is a shame I was too full and not able to partake.

Overall, the experience at Taormina’s was a good one. I wish there were less people or less noise, but the food was great and the service was good, so what else can you ask for?
