" Tarantini's reputation precedes itself, and I was disappointed this time around. The service while polite, felt a bit rushed and disorganized. I ordered the shrimp fettuccine, which was enjoyable but not unique enough to warrant high expectations. The atmosphere was still pleasant, but it felt less personal compared to previous experiences. " (*Curated Review*)

" I took my partner here for a surprise birthday dinner, and the setup was perfect! We rang in the celebration with an exquisite seafood dish that was beautifully plated. The waiter was delightful and made sure we had everything we needed. Although dessert wasn’t on our radar initially, we couldn't resist after seeing the options. The cake was divine! I’ll definitely recommend Tarantini to friends. " (*Curated Review*)

" Tarantini has a cozy and inviting atmosphere. The food was really good; however, I found the Fettuccine Alfredo to be a tad bland for my liking. The service was friendly, though there were times when my drink was empty for too long. I would like to come back and try something different from the menu, perhaps a pizza next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" Tarantini is definitely one of my top choices for Italian food! Everything I've tried has been flavorful, and the ambiance is cozy and inviting. Their mushroom risotto is so creamy, you must try it! Great for both family dinners and a night out with friends. " (*Curated Review*)

" On a recent trip to Tarantini for lunch, it was quite charming. The staff were friendly and accommodating. The spaghetti and meatballs were hearty and delicious, just like I'd expect in an authentic Italian joint. A notable factor was the portion size, truly filling without feeling overdone. I will return for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" Visiting Tarantini for the first time was a delightful experience! The service was prompt, and our server provided great recommendations. I tried the Penne Arrabbiata, and it was wonderfully spicy and flavorful. The ambiance was also inviting with charming decor. I would definitely return again to try out more of their dishes. " (*Curated Review*)

" I absolutely adored my evening at Tarantini! The atmosphere was perfect for a date night, intimate yet vibrant. The calamari appetizer was incredibly tender, paired with a zesty marinara that enhanced the dish beautifully. For mains, I opted for their signature veal dish, which was beyond tender. The portion sizes were generous for the price as well, making it a great value. " (*Curated Review*)
