    Have been a long time customer and Tarantino never disappoints. Our last visit was on a very busy Friday night. We squeezed into the bar area which was very busy to wait for our reservation. The food quality is outstanding. Love the Rosso Bucco and everything else on their menu. Service is very professional always. A great place for dinner!

    My lifelong friends & I enjoyed a wonderful dinner at Tarantino after a great round of golf. The food, beverages and service were excellent, as usual, and we look forward to returning soon. Frank and his team run a top notch restaurant, and I always feel very welcome whether I am with my wife or with friends.

    First visit in many years - exceeded expectations and memories. The food was lovely and the service was professional. Ticket times were quick, but I think we hit a window when the kitchen wasn't busy. There was no rush to turn the table, so it was a great experience. Wine specials on Tues/Weds were superb. We will definitely be back!

    I have to say as my first time eating here disappointed. Some dishes were outstanding and others were flat and not very flavorable. We have three appetizers which were great- the eggplant and shrimp, muscles and scallops- very very good. I would order that again. I had the shrimp and scallops and my daughter had the carbonara- maybe the best we have ever had, even in Italy. However the other three dishes were very flat and not flavorful, a miss. the biggest disappointment was the service. it seemed the only ones who were paid attention to were the regulars. My husband asked for Red Pepper, never came, never asked how our meal was, no extra bread, etc... I am not sure I would return but for the few dishes we really enjoyed.

    Tarantino’s is a wonderful restaurant and the food is very good. Service efficient and friendly. Only complaint was that the Persecco by the glass was bitter/sour.
