“ Visited the bar this past Wednesday, food was a good value for the price. The bartender Luis took great care of me and my girlfriend and was very knowledgeable on the menu and drinks. He was very friendly and attentive even when the bar was pretty busy. The atmosphere was great and the decor was beautiful but the music was a little repetitive. All and all great experience would recommend. ”
“ I came here on a Saturday night with my cousins before a concert and it was not crowded. We made reservations a week before hand and got seated right away. The servers were all very friendly. Between four people, we shared 2 appetizers, 3 entrees, and 1 dessert and I was a good full. The polpettine meatballs and Frito misto were good. The pinsa burrata is fresh and delicious. The rigatoni short rib is unique and cacio e pepe is decent. The pastas were a bit undercooked but both flavorful. The tiramisu was very good and I absolutely recommend it! ”
“ Delicious food, excellent wine, lovely ambiance! I had the Caesar Salad, Branzino, and flourless chocolate cake and would recommend each dish. We were a large table and they were able to accommodate. When it’s warm out, they also have outdoor seating! ”
“ I hosted 38 guests for my 90th birthday. The food was delicious, elegantly presented, within the confines of a very comfortable setting. The lighting was perfect as the room dimly glowed, creating an atmosphere of most pleasant intimacy. The service was discreet and competent. I highly recommend this venue. E Pyle. ”
“ Beautiful place! The food is amazing, and the service is excellent. It’s very cozy and beautifully decorated. The pastry chef does a fantastic job— you have to try the tiramisu and the baba !! Bonus point: visit in the morning the croissants are to die for! Highly recommended. ”
“ I absolutely LOVED my Valentine’s Day dinner at Taralucci. Rita amazingly made us a last minute Valentine’s Day reservation, and the service we received was great. Excellent selection of authentic Italian dishes, great portions, and the Valentine’s Day menu was extra special and delicious. Thank you Taralucci team! ”
“ Solid food and really good drinks. The service was top notch from start to finish, and the hostess was especially lovely—welcoming and friendly. ”
“ Wow. Such a cozy place, rustic, intimate. The food was amazing. Best I've ever had at any restaurant in my 38 years. True traditional Italian. Not the Italian-American we are used to. They make their pasta in house, as well as everything else being made to order. The red wine on special was divine. There were so many points for each dish where we just sat in silence and stared at our plates in a trance. Each bite was savoured, and rightfully so. Pure perfection from beginning to end. Our waiter was wonderful too! His Italian accent was so thick and beautiful I wanted to put him in my pocket so he can narrate my entire life. ”
