well my husband & i went for valentines day & we were treated like we were special customers but it was our 1st time there. so we decided to go again for our wedding anniversary & once again the treatment from walking in the door until we left was amazing. the owner & his family are super sweet, attentive & generous pple. the $30pp fixed menu is great the food was hot, great portions & the choices were great. so far everything we tried there was amazing. this is our new special place. cant believe they have been there since 2001 & we are just finding this hidden gem. the place is old school italian nice music playing & these cool wine lights on the table the ambiance is nice. craig & laurie jacobs read more

The reason I said I recommend the place is because of the food because the drinks and bartender service was bad went there for a my friends baby shower smh the place was nice bathrooms clean the food service was good but the wait for a drink was no good they had one bartender and a older one too felt it was just too much for her to attend to a party and regular customers coming in . She wasn't focused I ordered a drink the first time given a price then went back to order the same thing and was charged a different price o didn't argue it because I was already aggravated by the service but you don't do that to people then i experienced a couple come in order a drink. She messaged me calls to take it to the guy and the guy asked what is this she says he's so pineapple martini. He's like I didn't order that. I ordered up a straight up martini so he got annoyed and said you know what never mind and walked out with his friend that tells me right there how embarrassing so advise to establishment when having a large party I suggest you have other 2 to 3 bartenders and perhaps on the younger side not that she probably didn't know how to do a job but not that day. sorry I didn't take pictures of the entrées by the time I already had had it. read more

Service was excellent. Nice staff. $30 prefix was a decent deal. Portions on it not large. Stuffed artichokes included were tasty. Bread was warm but some pieces hard and not too good. Calamari served as a separate appetizer was okay. Chicken Scarpe. Was eh tasting , small portion of meat, and sauce didn't look too good. Roasted potatoes were deep fried and no seasoning but okay. Carrot cake was good. Charged 3.50 for soda refill. Wait staff should have notified me. Female waitress and main man gave great customer service read more

Service, food and the pricies were amazing! Going back today to celebrate my brother's birthday!

Stopped in Saturday for lunch with our party of 6. We ate in the Wine Room which was quiet and comfortable. Service was OK, a bit slow. Lunch menu was extensive. Three of us ordered the Homemade Pappardelle Pescatore (Pasta w/Shrimp, Clams, Mussels, and Calamari in a Marinara Sauce) - Very Delicious! The Lobster & Crab Ravioli garnered a rave review, as did the Penne alla Vodka. The Chicken Cutlet Milanese Hero was HUGE and Very Good. Though all portions were BIG, the only left over taken home was half the hero! Everything was a Very Good Value. We'll definitely be back! read more

I have nothing to say bad about this place because they are "ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL"! Came highly recommended by one of their relatives via word of mouth for my daughter's Baptism celebration. They were very accommodating and helpful. Made the first interaction prior to the day so welcoming. I love how cozy the place is and how clean and put together it looks. The food was absolutely delicious. I came with a large group and EVERYONE loved it! The owner and staff are so kind that they make you feel like you are part of their family. I look forward to going back there really soon. Thank you to everyone who made my daughter's Baptism Day so beautiful! read more

Their prefix is a fantastic deal. Staff is super warm and gives the feel of grandmas house. Food is AMAZING. Only concern is it's a slow dining experience, but totally worth the wait and it's friendly on the wallet. So that's to be expected. We love you Kelly!! read more

Walking into the restaurant was akin to being back on the Lower East Side. We were quickly seated (6 person reservation was recommended) and quickly tended to. The menus (3) covered a wide array of choices. The food was PERFECT, but most importantly we had an enjoyable LEISURELY meal with plenty to take away. The atmosphere was quietly private and we felt like the only persons there in spite of the filled tables. I now have so many other dishes that I NEED to try. read more

Food was good service was nonexistent. Three different service people to handle three drinks and one appetizer and a dessert. All of them totally ignored me until I had to grab their attention. They have no customer service skill and very unfriendly. Only four people sitting at a 10 seat bar. They don't seem to realize they're in the hospitality industry. It's a shame. read more

The food here is excellent, better than I remembered. It's definitely become our "go to" for Italian! The service is great as well- they really make you feel at home. You Must try it! read more

Went for an anniversary dinner Thursday a week ago and were well taken care of as usual. The food was delicious, and the service was first class! Love the red checkered tablecloths and the little table lights, so warm and inviting! Always our go to place for a quiet, cozy place to unwind and enjoy a great meal! read more

Good food, fast service. Friendly wait staff and nice atmosphere! Authentic cuisine and good wine selection.

We ordered take out with friends visiting for the evening. I can't say the food was bad but it was very average. Nothing special . I had a side order of broccoli raabe that had been chopped up and tasteless , very unusual. read more

I wrote this letter to the management after my Valentine's Day disaster. I never heard back so I figured I just post it here. I am writing to express my deep disappointment with the service my husband and I received on Valentine's Day. We had a 7:30 PM reservation and were excited to celebrate both the holiday and our anniversary at your establishment. Unfortunately, our experience was anything but special. After placing our order, we waited for nearly two hours without receiving any food. Despite our patience and attempts to check on our order, nothing was brought to our table. Eventually, we had no choice but to leave, as we needed to relieve our babysitter. To make matters worse, we ended up stopping for McDonald's on the way home--certainly not the romantic dinner we had planned. Valentine's Day is very meaningful to us, and this experience completely ruined what should have been a special evening. We understand that restaurants can be busy on holidays, but waiting two hours without receiving food is unacceptable. I would appreciate an explanation as to how this happened and what can be done to make up for our ruined evening. I hope to hear from you soon. read more

Huge portions, I ate my entree in three dinners; one at the restaurant and two at home. Our family of 6, influenced by Grandmas Italian cooking enjoyed it all. Service was attentive and friendly and the wine list was extensive. My only regret is that we went here on a beautiful, warm, clear evening, and while the setting is just steps from the Hudson, there is only one window seat in the bar area. I will definitely be back on a cold or rainy night when the cozy, dim, dining area can be better appreciated. Thanks for a lovely evening. read more

Unbelievably amazed at the amount of food and price and wonderful service. We can't stop taking friends here and everyone we take keeps coming back for more. Anthony the owner was amazing and the quality of the food was outstanding. Thanks for an amazing birthday dinner another amazing dinner in the books. read more

This restaurant should get negative stars. Worst food I've had in years, completely unedible. And I'm still sick from eating a little of it. I had a chicken panini with eggplant, zucchini. I wonder how old the chicken was. The veggies were way overcooked and greasy. NEVER AGAIN! read more

Absolutely spectacular. Open the doors and enter New York, circa 1993. It feel like home, it tastes like home.

I was so surprised to see the 3 star review from JM on 7/23/25 that I had to comment. I could not disagree more with this review. My family and I have been dining at Taorima Restaurant for many years, and one thing is for sure their food is always consistent. We have never had a bland meal that lacked anything. The food is always delicious, fresh, full of flavor and very authentic. I have recommended this restaurant to other family and friends and I know they would agree with me because they have also become regular patrons. Lunch or dinner, it would NEVER be a wasted trip to this fine establishment. Not only is the food fabulous, but the staff is fantastic...always welcoming and going above and beyond for their customers! read more

My husband and I thought we finally found our favorite "to go to" Italian restaurant three weeks ago. He took me to this cute place near the water in Peekskill. My husband's coworkers were bragging to us about this place and how over the last few months the food has changed drastically for the better so we tried it. The food was excellent and we both knew the taste of the food was familiar to our pallet. At first we couldn't figure out where we've had this food until my husband asked the busboy by any chance is the chef's name Paulie and he said yes. At the end of our dinner, chef Paulie came out and we were so happy to see him there. We followed him and his wife for over 30 years in their restaurants. This Sunday we went back with another couple and were very disappointed. The food was a nothing like our prior experience. It was lacking, taste, freshness, consistency and creativity. Next time we'll know better to call ahead before we waste a trip there. read more

A Fabulous Restaurant. Me and my colleague ate here on a Wednesday night in MID April. The Wait Staff was Knowledgeable and Courteous. Attentive, but not intrusive. I had the Meatball Appetizer, and Schrimp Fra Deavlo over Linguni for my Entree. Both were Top Knotch. Unfortunately I forgot what my colleague ordered, but he was similarly impressed. We both had a Tartufo and Coffee for dessert, which was a great. The restaurant itself exudes a Casually Elegant Atmosphere which pairs well with just about any occasion. read more

Pretty good food and was able to accommodate our large party of 6 adults, 3 babies and 2 kids on short notice. The ambiance of the restaurant was good. A lot of tables and the service was good. We didn't get our salad that was supposed to come with our entrees and the waitress was very apologetic and quickly brought our salads. Big portion of chicken Parm. The spaghetti that came with it was very average but it hit the spot if you are craving chicken Parm. The pasta Lunella was very good. It had lots of seafood (clams, scallops, shrimp) and was garlicky and flavorful. Visually, I enjoyed the black and white pasta thought really couldn't taste the difference. The bread was nice and toasty and quite good. Why the 3 stars? The food took forever to come as mentioned by several reviews! One couple only ordered a pizza and their food was the last to come. They said it was good but with kids and toddlers, the long wait was not ideal. Prices were very reasonable - $18 for chicken Parm and pasta was around $23. Next time, if we are back in the area, we will just get take out and eat at the hotel. read more

A tasty meal and good location if you're waiting for the train. Staff were also excellent. Just felt a bit expensive for pasta.

Right off the Peekskill Metro North Station this place has some great Italian food. We had some paninis and pizza. The pesto panini was not bad but the grilled chicken with onions and peppers panini was delicious. We had the personal cheese pizza and it is biiiiiiiiig for one person. For pizza lovers this is definitely a positive. Parking available around the area and free on weekends. Beautiful waterfront area and more eateries around. read more

Today I was doing a hike at Popolopen Torne near Bear Mountain and stopped off and grabbed a Buffalo Chicken Wrap at Taormina while waiting for the metronorth at the Peekskill station. I've gotta tell you, this was probably the best Buffalo Chicken Wrap I've had yet. The chicken was crispy yet juicy, it had TONS of buffalo wing sauce, peppers, onions, it was sooo good. The fries were also really good. They were incredibly crispy and crunchy, just the way I like it. Nothing worse than a limp fry. If I'm back in the area again, I will definitely stop by here again. Yes I'm aware I completely undid all of the calories I burned off in the hike, but sooo worth it! read more

I can't begin to say how impressed I am with this restaurant and their highly organized staff. Planning a birthday party for a family member, when you live four hours away, could prove to be tricky, but they went out of their way to be courteous and prompt with attention to details. From planning the menu, to double checking that everything was in place just the way we wanted it, they hit the mark perfectly. The food was absolutely delicious, and every guest praised the attention to detail and how lovely the atmosphere was. Thank you Taormina for being so accommodating and for the wonderful day! read more

Walked by this restaurant next to the Peekskill train station, never knowing how good it was. They accommodated a group of 6 of us very easily on a Friday night. Parking was easy at the station 1/2 block away but they also have a dedicated lot. We all ordered from the 4-course menu and we very pleased with the variety and quality of the selections. The service was quick and friendly - no long waits. Everything was delicious! We will definitely return often to this pearl of a restaurant in Peekskill! Perfect for commuters returning to Peekskill too. read more

What an amazing place! Unassuming from the outside, but the food is fantastic, the prices are very fair and the people are great! Located just steps from the Peekskill waterfront parks and Metro North Peekskill station; not to mention being right off US-9 - makes their location is. very convenient. Although their parking lot can get full at times, there is ample parking available within a 1-2 minute, 500-1,000-foot walk. There are a few other nearby eateries, but none with food of this quality. They have a pretty full bar, and even alfresco dining in-season. I personally recommend the Chicken Martini (think Chicken Francaise with parmesan and peas), Veal Taormina, and Eggplant Rolatini. Though everything I've ever had there was very good - and they have always accommodated every special request I have ever had or heard perfectly. During this crazy COVID-time, they adapted and opened to offer great food for take out including great deals for family meals! Oh, and don't miss their pizza - with an extra-thin crust, flavorful sauce and high-quality toppings! MANGIA!! read more
