We were visiting my Godmother and she made dinner reservations here. We don’t eat Italian dishes very often in order to save our waistlines and, frankly, most times the meals aren’t very good in Lancaster county, where we live. What a difference at this establishment!!! Everything was fresh and delicious. Authentic and the way Italian food should be done. We cannot wait to return ?Service was excellent!!! Very attentive waitstaff ?We had the eggplant rollatini, meatballs, penne pasta, angel hair pasta with marinara, Caesar salads, tiramisu, lava cake and a cappuccino.* insert chef’s kiss emoji! *

I must have eaten here 50 times in the last few years at least. There’s lots competition in the area for pizza but Taorminas is top notch. You can really taste the quality ingredients and passion for food. My father has Alzheimer’s disease and the staff is more than patient. I would say the staff is incredible actually. A good espresso really makes it a consistent quality meal every time. Thank you, Taorminas!!

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.

I wanted to leave a cautionary review of a pizza I ordered last night. I'll preface this review by saying I've never, ever had a bad experience at Taormina's and I'm sure this was a fluke, but something to be aware of.I ordered a large buffalo chicken pizza last night and it tasted fine, but I felt there was waaay too much cheese on it. Some might consider this a plus, but the grease was substantial. On my second slice, I noticed that some of the chicken on the pizza had arteries still in the muscle, which made me question the quality of the chicken (perhaps it is repurposed from other dishes at the restaurant, or just overall low quality meat?). This made me lose my appetite for the evening, but this morning I gave the leftovers a second chance.On my first slice this morning, I bit into a large (about one inch long) piece of chicken bone still in the meat. This actually hurt a bit because I wasn't expecting any bone on my pizza. I lost my appetite for the second time and will be discarding the remaining half of the pizza.I have had many meals and pizzas here and I will likely order plain pizzas in the future, as they have always been very good. I will avoid any toppings from here on in, though. Would recommend the pasta dishes and sandwiches instead!

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.

We celebrated my husband’s 70th birthday 2/3/24. The food was fantastic. The staff was great especially since there were 21 of us. We sang HB and the entire restaurant and some staff joined in. What a great group, everyone clapping. We can’t wait to go back!

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!
I had wonderful dinner with a friend last evening. It was very crowded but the service incredible. Our meals came out nice and hot and delicious. We shown deserts which we ordered. I definitely return.

Discovering this gem on the way to the airport, guided by a local, turned out to be a culinary revelation. The rigatoni vodka dish served here was nothing short of life-changing. The pasta was impeccably cooked, and the sauce, an exquisite blend of flavors, elevated the dish to a whole new level. This experience undoubtedly marked one of the best pasta meals I've ever savored.
