You will never be disappointed at Taormina's! The food is amazing. Everyone is friendly. Highly recommend this place. Make reservations!

Also the staff is so friendly! Sure, it might take some time for your food to come out but that's only because it's fresh and home made! It'll take some time! If you want fast Italian food, go to Olive Garden. But if you want authentic, delicious Italian food that takes time to make, come here! read less

A few days later we needed to put together a reception and decided to have Taormina's cater it. The food was excellent, they made suggestions on the amounts we needed, arrived at the location on time, did the set up and they were just great to work with. They had said that they also rent out their restaurant for the next time so that's good to know. I definitely would go back again. read less

When I am out here, I seek out the sloppy loaded NY style pizzas, in particular the Grandma's pie.
We ordered food delivered and I tell you what, I loved their version of grandma's pie. Fresh roma tomatoes, garlic, fresh mozz and crust soaked in virgin olive oil. Quite frankly that's one of the primary reasons I don't mind visiting the Philly, New Jersey area. They got good food. read lessJeffery S.10/09/2017The Vodka sauce is amazing. My boyfriend also loves the pasta all'amatriciana. I also love the cheese steak stromboli. Their pizza is also solid.

You get quality meals for a fair price. Their food is ALWAYS fresh & tasty. Special orders/requests are never a problem. Service is good most times but occasionally it is slow because they get very busy & cook everything to order. Best bet is to get there early b/c they get crowded; the food is worth the wait! Also a bonus is Taormina's is BYOB. Go there NOW ~ You won't be disappointed! read less

Wow! We finally found a place that does proper paninis! Absolutely incredible. Cheesesteak is delicious. Fried calamari came hot and crispy even on delivery when most places cant offer such.
Karina L.2/20/2019Food always great! Nice staff!
Our favorite Chicken Parmesan family meal. Always perfect!Patti Y.11/15/2021Ordered online for delivery by Ivyland location. Arrived on time, packed very well and hot, as usual. Delivery person cordial. Everything was delicious especially the Chicken Marsala. Buffalo Chicken pizza was best we've ever had!!

We were missing the Mussels Marinara and added it to our dinner order tonite and they did not disappoint! I was a little afraid how they would be as a takeout item, but they were delicous. The gravy had a touch of spice to compliment the mussels and of course bread on the side for dipping.
The Penne Puttanesca and Capellini Taormina hit the food satisfaction spot. While we may not be joining you in person, you are still fulfilling our Italian food cravings. Great job and very organized online order and takeout. Thanks everyone read lessLisa P.7/12/2020We have eaten at Taormina's a number of times. The restaurant is always clean.

Jim L.11/04/2014They have pick up, delivery and inside eating available. Amazing food. Amazing service. I will definitely order again.

She was very friendly and attentive throughout our visit. (Ali, i think) They served warm delicious bread with red peppers while we browsed the menu....food came out in a reasonable amount of time and it was great! We had the vodka rigatoni, pasta taormina, chicken franchaise and past primivera... everyone really enjoyed their meal! (You do have to pay extra for soup or salad though)
We also shared a tiramisu for dessert, and it was delicious!
The dining room is not huge but it is decorated nicely and there is a comfortable amount of space between tables.
Overall it was a great dinner in a cute unassuming place with great service! We will certainly be back. read lessBeth O.5/21/2017Vodka sauce needs to be sold on shelf.... Ever lost in PA you have to come here.... My style cooking in the country... Would drive back from NYC to have this sauce!
Lorena P.8/28/2015What a find! Tough to beat this place if you want easy, delicious, reasonable, BYOB Italian. Great atmosphere, friendly staff, and big flavor Italian. Had the pasta with broccoli rabe and the veal parm. delicious.

Every single dish I had here came out so tasty. The complimentary bread and roasted peppers are a plus as well. Two of my favorite pasta dishes here are the "cavatelli gaeatano", which has broccoli rabe and sausage in a garlic and olive oil sauce, and the "linguine frutti di mare", which has seafood in a white wine garlic sauce. Both dishes are pretty light, since I'm not a fan of heavy cream sauces. However, I had their vodka sauce here and it is pretty good as well. They really load up on the seafood if you get a seafood pasta dish. Again, I love the food here and have been returning pretty frequently to get my Italian fix. read less

Its BYOB which I love. The food is truly outstanding. Last night i had the Risotto Christian, beef tips, shrimp, asparagus, with all the flavors. The risotto was cooked to perfection. My fiance had the cowboy steak. It came in a delicious wine gravy with thinly sliced vegetables. We ordered the buffalo mazarello tower as an appetizer. Its slices of mozzarella and tomato wrapped in prosciutto with drzzled balsamic glaze. The bread is always warm and crispy served with roasted red peppers and onions. For dessert we split the limoncello cake. Every bite had a wonderful crisp lemon flavor. This place continues to rate 5 stars. Fantastic food and excellent wait staff! read less

It looks more like an upscale tastefully-decorated restaurant where you would expect to spend a lot of money for a fancy dinner. The ceiling is done with old-fashioned tin tiles (in copper color, reproduction, of course, but still looks great), the light fixtures are large and beautiful, and the perimeter accent lighting is just right to highlight custom roman shades, the botanical artwork and Italian landscapes. Even the chairs are nicely upholstered with cool modern backs, and they felt solid. Both the dining room and the kitchen were very clean, not a speck of dust anywhere. So we sat down and I prayed that the food is good, cause I was obviously impressed with the decor.
They start you off with roasted red peppers (yummy), and warm bread. The bowl of seafood bisque arrived quickly and was absolutely delicious. The lasagna was home-made and excellent. The broccoli rabe, although claimed to have been sauteed, tasted more steamed to me, but still was not bad at all. I would order it again. The chicken florentine panini, although fresh, was missing something, and the bread was never near the actual panini maker, although it was toasted. I wondered if they mixed up my panini order with a hot sandwich? The french fries were perfectly cooked and seasoned, and perhaps the best fries I have ever tasted! The service was super friendly, and the owner came over and chatted, while her whole family were having dinner a few tables away.
The prices are very reasonable, the ambiance is great, and it's a BYO. I was so happy to find a place just a few minutes away that serves inexpensive but top quality fare in a beautiful atmosphere. And it's not a chain!
My prayers were answered! read lessSerena W.4/22/2011Nice ambiance & Top notch service. The house bread is fresh and crusty served with a wonderful side of roasted peppers.

The house bread is fresh and crusty served with a wonderful side of roasted peppers. Such a nice step up from just butter or olive oil. House side salad was also very good. Enjoyed every bite of the best veggie pizza I've had in years if not ever! Crispy crust & a wonderful assortment of toppings. Be sure to ask for the one with eggplant. Can't wait to try the eggplant parm next time I'm in town. Well done Taormina's! read less
Karen F.7/17/2017This is our go to close to home restaurant and would recommend to anyone in the area. First, it's a BYOB, which is always great, and we have never had a bad meal or service here!

Being Italian, and from South Philly, I'm pretty hard to impress when it comes to Italian food. This place has become our go-to spot for our weekly date nights as well as whenever we want to entertain friends over dinner.
The service is very good - we've only had a problem once with getting our bread... But for the most part, service has never disappointed us.
Atmosphere is nice, the lighting could be a little more intimate for evening dining, but it's not bad enough to ruin the experience.
Prices are reasonable... Not cheap but definitely not expensive.
Definitely would recommend this place. My wife and I go there at least once a week. read lessFabian H.11/13/2014 -

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 lessEllen H.7/12/2021Never had a bad meal here. The salmon puttanesca is a particular favorite and the sauce is sublime. Everything from pizza to main entrees are always spectacular.
