Taormina Restaurant and Pizza — Restaurant in Danbury

I booked my son's first Communion party here at Taormina's about a month ago. I just called the owner to discuss the last minute minor details with him regarding the menu and he turns around and tells me he has to charge me triple than what we discussed because he had another party who has 40 people, just call to book with him that he would prefer to do because he would get more money.

The wife got salmon Piccata, a very large portion of salmon filet and a generous portion of spinach. They have a limited offering of bottled beer and wine. The service was okay. This place is probably a good date venue, old time Italian music and cozy...
