    Cavatelli Shrimp & Broccoli

    We decided to try Taormina's after purchasing a Groupon. Brooke was our server. She was friendly and attentive. We had the Chicken Milanese which came with a side of pasta and the Cavatelli with shrimp and broccoli. Both meals were delicious and plentiful. We took home leftovers so we could enjoy a brownie sundae for dessert.

    Found this gem while out of town for business. Great food, service, price highly recommend. I had the chicken marsala and the best I have had in years .

    The freezer burned, rubber band consistency, tasteless calamari. They should be embarrassed to serve this!

    We had a bad experience at Taormina's tonight. The best things about the dinner were the bread and the complimentary peppers and onions they give you. The calamari appetizer looked anemic. It looked like it cane straight out of a box frozen, that you buy at the supermarket, and then leave in the freezer too long. It was rubbery to the point of being slightly crunchy and had no taste. They should be ashamed to serve this. Awful! My cavatelli and broccoli was edible because it had a garlicky sauce but the shrimp were undercooked so I didn't eat them. They were actually translucent. The rigatoni with vodka sauce was decent. Instead of the prosciutto being fresh in thin slices, it was hard, old tasting, little chunks. Yuck! The service was terrible too. We waited for the server to come back after our meals were delivered and he never did. I had to flag down the hostess to ask if they had coke. They had it only in bottles and I wanted a fountain soda. We asked for the check and were kept waiting for that. Then the waiter finally came back to the table and asked if we wanted coffee or dessert. I told him no we had already asked for the check. It wasn't even that busy in the restaurant. No salads come with the meals. We drank water. One terrible appetizer and two very mediocre dinners cost us $67! Low quality and high prices at this place now. It's gone way downhill. Skip it and go to one of the many other Italian restaurants in the area!

    Good home cooked Italian meals. The portions are huge, so beware. My husband had their lasanga, and it was fresh and tasty. Tasted just like grandma's homemade version. I had the Veal David but asked for it in vodka sauce over penne pasta. It was also fresh and tasty and a very large portion. The service was great. Our waitress was friendly and attentive.

    Delicious food and impressive menu! We visited after hearing wonderful reviews from friends. We were seated right away on a Sunday for lunch and put in our order quickly. The portions were generous and everything was delicious. Our only complaint was that service was a little slow, but we chalk it up to being an off day. I will definitely be back to try the rest of the menu!

    Taormina's is in a small commercial center on Jacksonville Road, Ivyland, PA. It is a nicely appointed Italian house whose name as a pizza and pasta joint is somewhat misleading. It certainly has those items on the menu, but do yourself a favor and check out the dinner plates. We were very pleased with our meals, as well as the attractive atmosphere. Very glad we brought a bottle of vino to celebrate Valentine's Day, even if a day late. Romantic dinners are very much available. We ordered Veal Francaise and Eggplant Parmigiana, both of which were plated on top of a good amount of penne. The veal had a wonderful white wine/lemon sauce that was excellent on the pasta. The Eggplant was a large portion of pan fried thin sliced nightshade, ovened under copious melted mozzarella and resting under rich red gravy and atop plenty of penne. We loved both dishes. Service was attentive and came with a smile. If there was a shortcoming in this overall delicious experience, it was the Calamari Friti appetizer. They were all large rings of squid, without any tentacles to add texture and more flavor. Somewhat disappointing. Still, with the decent bread and plate of roasted red peppers provided gratis by the house, not to mention the mellowness from our own red vino, Taormina's was a great place for a date.

    Stuck to the box pizza

    Called to pick up 2 slices for lunch. Was told 5 minutes. I get there and pay and the employee that took my order on the phone finally tells the cooks, "oh hey I need 2 slices" ... 12 minutes later I get my 2 slices. The employee said she was sorry because they had to make a new pie. Maybe next time you say that over the phone or when I pay. Also, it probably shouldn't look like this when you pick it up. Had to fork and knife this mess cause they were stuck to the box and sheet underneath so when I picked it out of the box, all the cheese fell off. This was bad.

They serve a delicious homemade bread that's warm when it's brought the table. In addition, it's accompanied by a dish of olive oil, with balsamic vinegar and what I believed to be a spicy dusting of pepper. It was a little too spicy for me - however, I did like the addition of the balsamic as a change from just olive oil. I would skip the pepper though, unless you like spice. We ordered the Polpette as an appetizer; it's a 'tradition' of mine. If meatballs are on the menu, I will always order them. These lamb, veal and beef meatballs were very good, and the marinara sauce they came in was excellent! The sauce is actually a 'roasted pomodoro' gravy - which is an 'intensified' version of a classic Italian sauce. It's made by roasting the tomatoes at a very high heat and almost caramelizing them. A little feta was added to the sauce, which really highlighted those meatballs!! We split the order - as 5 meatballs is quite a large appetizer! We decided to share two entrees - the Beef Short Ribs and the Lobster Ravioli. I always ask if the short ribs are lean - our server responded they were very lean...and they were. Soft, tender and very flavorful large chunks of beef, with a deliciously rich gravy with mushrooms on a bed a creamy garlic mashed potatoes! It was a superb dish! The website said the Short Ribs were the restaurant's most popular meal. Next, the Lobster Ravioli. The dish was a very 'delicate' one, with a very subtle brandy cream sauce. It had chopped jumbo shrimp and peeled cherry tomatoes with the raviolis. While the sauce tasted fine, it needed 'something' - we added pepper which helped. The raviolis were good - we couldn't taste lobster in the cheese of the raviolis - we assumed it was there. The chopped shrimps though provided a nice additional seafood flavor. I like my raviolis tender - the kind that almost melt in your mouth. The pasta here was firmer - a little more 'al dente', but it was fine. We ended our meal with the Chocolate Mousse. Served in a martini glass, the mousse had a velvety texture with a deep dark chocolate flavor. It was very rich yet light and fluffy; a good choice for dessert!

The food had both highlights and disappointments: * Lobster Ravioli: Tasted very good, although the portion was small. The sauce was flavorful and enjoyable. * Cioppino: This was the standout dish of the evening. It was loaded with delicious seafood, and while the pasta was slightly overcooked, it was still a very good meal. * Penne alla Vodka: The sauce was delicious and full of flavor. Unfortunately, the pasta was overcooked, but we still enjoyed the dish overall. * Caprese Salad: This was disappointing. The mozzarella balls tasted like they came straight from a container, the tomato wedges were not ripe, and instead of fresh basil there was a dark green paste-like topping. It did not taste fresh. * Chicken Parmigiana: This was the weakest dish we tried. The chicken was neither crispy nor particularly tender or flavorful, and the penne pasta was very soft and overcooked. Bread with olive oil was provided, but salads were not included and had to be ordered separately. Overall, this is a decent restaurant with excellent service and some very flavorful dishes, but consistency in the food and pasta preparation could be improved.

There were 4 of us and we all felt that the entrees were good but didn't rise to what our expectations were, based on other reviews. The Lobster Gnocchi was good but seemed to be missing the lobster. The best part of the Scallop Risotto was the perfectly seared Scallops but the risotto itself was just ok. The Fiochi di Pere was good but overall didn't have all that much flavor. The Chicken Parmigiana was a very generous portion of chicken and pasta but the Italian seasoning was almost overpowering. I don't like writing reviews like this but like I said, we're in the minority review-wise on this one. Give it a try. Our experience just wasn't as good as what we expected.

However you had to choose the sauce for an additional $3.95. Also I got mushrooms for $1. I order garlic knots for 50 cents but they gave me a loaf of garlic bread which was burnt for an additional $5.00. My bill was over $31 and there was no chicken on the chicken alfredo. I called then to advise all these mistakes. They offered to remake it and/or adjust my bill when I came into the store again. ???? They told me they had new staff who was not sure how to enter my order. They have lots to improve upon. I don't live in that area but my son does. I won't be going back regardless. Also by the way the cheesesteak was $21.95 which is a lot for a cheesesteak. I hope they figure out their business.
