I went to Taoraminas for dinner with two out of town guests in August 2026. We sat at a table near the window which was private enough to talk as the dining room was full on a Tuesday night. Our server was attentive and very pleasant too. We all got the Chicken Marsala dinner with grilled asparagus or broccoli or side of penne pasta. The chicken was so tender and the Marsala sauce and mushrooms were so flavorable. I would recommend it highly. Cannot wait to go back soon to try some other entrees! read more

Beautiful interior! We had a great meal. I had the Chicken Caprese on a multigrain panini with French fries, and I loved it--so many delicious flavors came through. My hubby had the Chicken Parm and really enjoyed it as well, especially with the fries. Our waitress was pleasant, friendly, and very attentive. Overall, a wonderful dining experience! read more

We all enjoyed our dinners which included Penne Taormina, Shrimp Scampi with red sauce and chicken parm. All the meals were delicious and well prepared. We appreciated that they were able to prepare a smaller version of the chicken parm for our young daughter for a reduced price. The bread served with the meal was warm, fresh and tasty. The tiramisu was terrific. Our server was very pleasant, helpful, and made good recommendations. As for the change from BYOB, I understand the business reasons for doing it, but out of respect for customers the wine list should include wine by the glass options in the $7~$9 price range. $11 as the least expensive option is a bit extreme. Also, the $25 price point for spaghetti and meatballs is a little much and deterred from ordering it. All things considered we enjoyed Taormina's and will return. read more

We got takeout here tonight and it was soooo delicious. White pizza with onions and mushrooms was amazing! Two veggie calzones were excellent. You can add or subtract toppings. Ricotta and crust very tasty! read more

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. read more

My fav pizza! Always good and authentic. It's one of my go-to spots. The delivery is always fast too

Food is great as is the service but dropping the BYOB will drop the times we go there Plus the wine is so so PA vintage at excessive cost read more

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 . read more

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! read more

Got a blackened salmon salad last night and ended up throwing $20 salad in the trash. Salmon was very fishy (taste & smell) for some reason (never happened before) very disappointing. Can't say I'll be ordering from here again read more

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. read more

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! read more

We visited Taorminas Pizza last night with 4 other friends. This is a BYOB. Crowded for a Tuesday night. A bit noisy in the dining area. We had a variety of dishes from traditional spaghetti and meatballs, chicken parm, and chicken alfredo. Our meals were good. Plenty to eat. Took home some of the meals, there was that much. Reasonably priced. Waiter was excellent. He took good care of us. Plenty of parking around this restaurant. Take credit cars. Discounted cash price. A good solid pizza and Italian food restaurant. Enjoy, we did. read more

Party of 6 all ordered different entrees & appetizers. We all raved about our meals. Delicioso!

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. read more

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. read more

Ordered Grubhub because we normally eat in and get pasta dishes, which are great by the way. We got a plain pizza, fries, mozzarella sticks and garden salad with grilled chicken. The pizza was like cardboard and the fries were dry and not hot. We will definitely come and dine in for chicken Marsala and shrimp linguine but we will not order take out pizza. read more

Awesome hidden gem right down the road from Costco. Instead of getting a $1.50 hot dog and soda combo from the mega giant retailer's food court, head down the road to experience a fantastic Italian restaurant with great food and service. When you first walk in it looks like you're at a higher end pizza shop until the curtain is pulled back to unveil a beautiful dining area. One of the best parts was the complimentary fresh baked bread and roasted red peppers and onions for the table. Yum!!! Prices are a little high but you get what you pay for with large portions which can easily feed 1- 2 people. It's also byob. read more

We have being taking out food from here for a long time and I can honestly say - constantly yummy and always super hot when we get home - not an easy task! Owners even care enough to call back with any order questions prior to pick up. Thumbs up!! read more

Great pizza, stombolis, and steak sandwiches. The blackened salmon salad is delicious. The staff is always friendly and helpful.

Taormina's may be known for Pizza, BUT the Pasta Dishes are fine dining quality. I had the Capellini Taormina with chunks of Crab meat and Shrimp in a pink sauce. Excellent ! Fantastic sauce and the crab and shrimp were cooked to perfection. Service is also Excellent. It may look like a Pizza place but the staff are attentive and friendly. read more

Didn't make or deliver big order - ruined Mother's Day party - didn't seem to care - hate this place - and I've spent $ there

Everything is great every time at this restaurant. The food is delicious and Josephine's tiramisu is the best!

I have eaten here many times and the price has hugely increased, crazy! I ordered vodka penne which was ($17.75) and I wanted the lobster ravioli which was ($28.50) there was definitely not lobster or lack there of for that price. As well, the bruschetta was 8.00 which was soggy! Nope not worth the prices the owner needs to seriously get a clue! The kitchen staff is amazing and genuinely kind , but not Italian and I'm sure not trained in the ways of the Italian flavors or food! read more

Taormina's was a delight. The food was plentiful starting with the roasted sweet peppers and hot bread. The well appointed basic salad was both colorful and substantial. All of our main courses were delicious and the service was attentive. Dessert tray was varied. We came hungry and left satisfied and content. read more

Extra charge if using credit card. They serve pig anus for calimari. Veal quality has declined

I have eaten here a number of times, but after my experience New Year's Eve, I will NEVER return again ! We had to wait 30 minutes because the group before us would not get up from the table. Once we were finally seated, we were rushed through our dinner. My salad plate was taken before I finished it. Our meals were handed to us and not even put down on the table. Some of our platters were not hot. Take out containers were handed to us before some of us were finished eating. Our waitress asked if we wanted anything else. When we asked what there was, she asked if we wanted to see the dessert tray. A few of us ordered. Some asked for coffee or tea. It was not offered. We were never asked if we wanted more. The check was handed to us. The entire meal, starr to finish, was about 50 minutes. We felt rushed through each course. We certainly were not offered the same enjoyable, relaxing meal that the group before us had !! After this experience, it is doubtful we will return, and Taormina has lost some good customers. read more

We can see why most reviewers give Taormina's a 4 star review-what's not to like. Service was great, it's a BYO, and the food above average. Fresh bread with a small plate of roasted red peppers/onions was brought to the table as we reviewed the menu. We both went with the Cavatelli pasta (the Gaetano and the Mare Emonte). One had broccoli rabe and sausage, the other clams and calamari) Both were not only delicious but gigantic! With 2 side-Caesar salads the bill came to around $40 before tip. A close-by table had 2 pizzas that look fantastic. Another reason for another visit. read more

I called with 1.5 days notice for a party of 20. Taorminas was AMAZING for our party. They had our tables ready to and were so helpful. Our tables were split between pizzas and sandwiches and everyone enjoyed our dishes. From making the reservation to arriving to serving we all had a wonderful evening. THANK YOU! read more

The food was delicious, the place was great and the people were great!! Our server was wonderful and helpful with whatever we needed

I said we would be back and I meant it. We shared a few items and they were all good, but my favorite was the chicken parm sandwich. Fantastic all around. The wife loved the wings, I loved the sauce but I ordered them well done and it just was not crisp enough for me to love the wings. Still good. Burger was good, but no really cooked to order temp. Still a hefty solid burger. And once again, we for sure well be back....... read more

Taormina’s - chick parm sand - Italian Near Me - Ivyland, Pennsylvania

my wife & I stopped into your restaurant in ivy land . we were seated promptly, waitress was pleasant. i was in the mood for a sandwich & fries real simple & my wife an entree. I asked our waitress is there a separate menu for sandwiches & such? waitress returns with a paper menu. I search for what I wanted and placed an order for a Turkey & cheese hoagie & fries. not 4 minutes later she returns to the table to inform us that would it be okay to switch my sandwich ( now here is where it gets interesting) the manager said that the turkey was brand new and because the business was closing for the week that could I be kind and pick something else. I was sympathetic and agreed so I got an Italian hoagie instead to accommodate them so they don't have to open a fresh turkey and it sit for a week. now the food was good . and the bill comes and I automatically give my card to pay the bill trusting that the waitress handled the correction on my bill from turkey & cheese to Italian hoagie. nope I was wrong I finally look over the bill and I noticed the difference in pricing not only on my sandwich but the Fries as well. in the menu Italian hoagie 10.50 on the bill Turkey & cheese still remained on bill for 12.50 & fries on menu were 4.95 on the bill 6.00 that's a difference of 3.05 over charge. so I call over waitress to ask her when closed out our check did you check to see if you adjusted for the sandwich price. she said no. I explained there was a difference in price from menu to bill. a manager finally showed up and tried to explain to me that the prices for eating in the dining room . I looked at the manager and said please show that to me. she then proceeded to look at the paper menu quickly look and said, all the while smiling like to embarrass myself and she while walking away I asked her why are you trying to embarrass me & my wife . you finally decided to the say I have told them I'm guessing Taraminos that pricing is different if your ordering off the paper menu and in reality it's not in writing on that menu. so she voided out my previous paid bill & made the proper corrections. lesson to learn here alway double check your bill before paying. if $50+dollars in food ordered is not sufficient for one of the guest that just isn't in the mood for an entree and is penalized & up charged for eating a sandwich & fries while the other guests orders a $33 dollar entree, well then you should be ashamed of yourselves. I'm not sure if this is truly your policy but you should seriously consider not upcharging for eating a sandwich & fries in the dining room. read more

Food was good, service was very good. It is a little crowded. Was alittle disappointed with Taormina capellini hard time finding the crab I requested no shrimp but said extra crab would be nice.

We had dinner with my friends here few days ago and staff was very friendly and food was good ... I ordered Chicken with asparagus and white sauce ( very very tasty, my friend ordered salmon and it was delicious, my husband had linguine and white sauce, my other two friends order spaghetti and meatballs .. servings were large and good, service was good but food took some time.. probably bc of not enough help .. due to trouble hiring bc of covid... it is a BYOB so we bought our own beer and waitress gladly supplied a church key to open bottle cap Definitely recommend dining here again! read more

Unbelievable tomato/pizza.... my mom brought a slice back for me (nd she agrees, 10/10 everything she had) and i must say it was the sweetest, most organic tomato i ever had on a pizza... it was a simple tomato and mozzarel balls on pizza... like italian style... not like a thick tomato pie or anything... but ive had bad italian pizzas. This was nothin like that. This was delicious. I cant wait to go there.Edit: There was also this pasta thing i had(penne taormina) w/ spinach, cherry tomatoes in olive oil, garlic, chicken all sauteed together, but real simple... it was amazing. read more
