Tappo Ristorante ItalianoAlways nice at TappoVery good Italian food, nice wine list and great service. Can't go wrong at Tappo. Branzino is always excellent6/7/2013 12:00:00 AMcame for the music ...We came for the jazz singer Lisa Gary but we were very pleasantly surprised with the food. We were four adults and enjoyed the Sunday dinner. Just like momma would have made. Delicious pasta and meats. Very good hot appy and salad and yummy dessert. A real treat !!5/19/2013 12:00:00 AMPaula and Francesco set thePaula and Francesco set the tone and the wait staff continue...warm, attentive and consistent. The bar is a great, fun stopover and you may need to be reminded to move to the dining room! My current favorite for starters is the grilled beet salad with goat cheese. Pastas are always winners, as is the osso buco and the branzino. Mother's Day was a pleasure - reservation honored in timely fashion (even tho restaurant was packed!!) Get there early for specials as they seem to sell out quickly! Cheesecake and flourless chocolate cake are our favorites but we haven't hit a dessert there that we didn't love! If you are lucky enough to be there on a night when Lisa is singing...you are in for a real treat!!5/18/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat food and ServiceAlways top notch at Tappo. Food and service are great. Owners are nice and accommodating.5/11/2013 12:00:00 AMCan't Wait to Go Back!This is my 2nd trip since late February. I drive here from Brooklyn? On my first trip I loved the food and service, and noticed some other items on the menu that I wanted to try. The eggplant croquets were fantastic, as is the "Linguine Nero". I actually asked that they serve the seafood I ordered over the Linguine. No problem...and delicious! My girlfriend had the Ravioli filled w/ beets, she loved them!
I can't comment on the wine list, as I had the drive back to Brooklyn, though judging on all the corks they have there, I'd say the list is pretty extensive.
They are very attentive here, prices are fair, and portions generous.
I look forward to my third visit, and hope to bring a few more of my Brooklyn friends with me.
NAD5/10/2013 12:00:00 AMalways great food and servicealways great food and service loved it the music on sunday just made it wonderful5/5/2013 12:00:00 AMFavorite Neighborhood RestaurantMy husband and I had a very enjoyable dining experience at Tappo. At first we were a little concerned because there were two big groups and our table for 2 on a Tuesday night during Restaurant Week. When I heard everyone speaking Italian, I knew the food wasn't going to disappoint. The owner was very involved and hospitable, and we were attended to like we were frequent guests there. The tomato sauce on the vegetable lasagna was delicious -- I can't wait to go back and order something with that sauce. My husband had the chicken which he enjoyed. The end of the meal was the best with chocolate molten cake, chocolate gelato, a cappuccino and a limoncello. So excited we found Tappo!4/30/2013 12:00:00 AMPerfetto from the start to the end!Felt like i was in Italy!

Tappo is an unpretentious neighborhood restaurant that doesn't break the bank and is suitable for family dining. There were many families present. Francesco the maitre'd is attentive and pleasant. The food was delicious, although the pasta was served too al dente for my taste and I had to send it back. They replaced it quickly and pleasantly.4/20/2013 12:00:00 AMVictoria's birthdayAs always the experience was excellent , all aspects of the evening was superb, from the food , the wine and the service!

Great ambience, and great host/hostess! Always a pleasure to dine here!3/15/2013 12:00:00 AMAlways great service and topAlways great service and top quality food at Tappo. Nice wine selection leaning more to Italian vintages. They have a nice wine offer when you dine on Mondays and Tuesdays any wine under $100 is half off. Deserts are nice also. Nice place where you can not go wrong.3/12/2013 12:00:00 AMA Good Find!This was our first visit here, and we're happy we found it (we accidently walked into the place next door!). It is set back from the street, so don't make the same mistake we did.
I ordered the "cozze"...very tasty! Also, one of my favorites "Black" Linguine (made with squid ink...not many places serve this) was on the menu. It was served with lobster. It was fantastic. My girlfriend had the Pollo Paula, which was also very good.
The service was excellent, and they are very friendly. Though a long way from Brooklyn, I will be back!
