   Parking is difficult and on-street for the most part. Restaurant has great curb appeal and is welcoming. Reservations are highly encouraged. We had a six o’clock reservation and arrived on time to be greeted at the door by a hostess with a warm smile. Our server was a young man with a very friendly manner. The food was delicious and very generous.

   We were hoping for a truly authentic Italian experience like we have in Italy, and Tarantelli's came close! Food was mostly good, but the gelato was really just ice cream (bummer!!) and the salad had far to much dressing on it to make it edible. We felt some of the dishes, though very delicious!, were overpriced (spaghetti and meatballs, Braciole) and the wine was just grocery-store wine; overpriced and not a great selection. That said, there were other parts of the dinner we really enjoyed and would come back to enjoy again. The Frutti di Mare was absolutely delicious and priced fairly; highly recommend trying if you like seafood, and the calamari in the dish was perfection. The kids pizza was perfect for our bambino. The housemade pasta (2 choices, we had the pappardelle) tasted just how it fresh pasta should. Yum, and highly recommend going with the housemade pasta over something like the spaghetti. Gavin, our server, was great! We would return, but be much more selective in what we ordered, because it appears certain menu items are worth the value while others are not at all.

   Excellent meal from start to finish. The arancini appetizer was outstanding. All of our entrees were also excellent, generous portions and delicious. It was hard to choose from all the great options. The cannolis were some of the best I’ve had. We’ll be back!

    The food was excellent but was a little disappointed by service. Not bad service but more in line with what I would expect from a franchise operation. On previous visits, have had friendly and helpful service that felt more personalized so hoping that this was just an off night. Will definitely visit again.

    We’ve been to Tarantelli’s a few times and have been impressed with the food and service. We invited friends to join us this time. After we were seated, water and bread showed up on our table immediately….and then, we waited. We munched on the good bread, but it was 15 minutes before our waiter came and took our drink order. Then we waited again. It’s nice to have a leisurely dinner, but service seemed amiss for the first half our evening. It got better by the time our entrees came through to coffee and dessert. Everyone enjoyed their meals—veal, braciole, special table side pasta. We’ll come back and hope the service is better next time.

    Hostess were super rude and on a power trip because when people would come in who didn’t know they would need a reservation they act towards them like they were idiots and how dare they attempt to come to “their” restaurant. Then they would talk about them after they left. The booth I always book was open the entire night and I even mentioned it was in the reservation and they said it was taken?? No one sat there till we were leaving. I listen to them talk to people with there nose in the air like they owned the place . We won’t be going back for a while. Management needs to talk to these girls. We weren’t the only ones complaining in the waiting area that’s how noticeable it was.

    Very large portions, so don't overdo it with the appetizers. Hard to do since they sound so tempting. My wife had a "small plate" pasta dish and it could certainly be a normal sized entree.

    Took my sister here for Mother’s Day dinner. It was easy to make reservations. They sat us right on time and we were transported as we enjoyed the charming patio. Service was prompt and courteous. Michael was our waiter and he did a great job with our drinks, appetizers and meal. Despite being completely booked for the holiday, we were not rushed either. The entire meal was delicious. We can’t wait to go back

    Very, very, slow service. A good 25 minutes before we got our simple appetizer. Then another good 20 minutes or so for our main course. We were there for over two hours. My wife's fish was good, my pasta & meatballs was so-so. Dropped $200 for two for a so-so dinner and a bottle of wine.

    I made reservations for mother's day. My wife and I are new to the area and have been trying new restaurants. I have been looking for a Italian restaurant and man Tarantelli's was a home run! I'm from NJ where Italian food is ubiquitous, so I was very pleased to find this place here. We started with the Arancini with sausage and also the Calamari, both were great. It took me a few minutes to decide what I wanted for the main course because everything on the menu looked appetizing. I went with the Bistecca e Pistachio Gremolata and it was terrific! My stepfather had La Strada Di New York Palermo and he loved it. Mom had the ravioli special se enjoyed it very much. I tried a bite of it and I wished I ordered it lol. My wife had the Melanzana Alla Parmigiana, I tried some of that too and it was fantastic. We will be back again soon. I highly recommend Tarantelli’s!

    The restaurant is beautiful, not crowded and classy. The food was good, but the pasta was overcooked and we weren't expecting red sauce on our pasta and Parm. The waiter was very informative about the food and what he was doing, but we waited way too long to get our second glass of wine after we ordered it. I expect better service and food for this price

    Too much spaghetti sauce and spaghetti was over cooked. Lasagna was tasteless. Way over priced for what we got. It didn’t include a salad. $28 for a small portion and no salad was ridiculous. We only went because we had a gift card.

    The food and service were excellent. We walked into a empty restaurant with a reservation, the hostess seated us in the middle of the room. She said the wall and corner booths were reserved. I told her we had a reservation she said we should have requested one of those tables. REALLY! The room was outdated and noisy, the floor was scuffed . Maybe if we learn how to make a reservation we'll try it again.

    This is a great restaurant, one of my favorites! I have been there several times and it has always been consistently delicious. The Veal Marsala was divine! One small thing occurred; the saltshakers were very scarce, even the staff was having difficulty locating them. Hopefully the saltshakers will be found...
