My wife and I were celebrating our 39th Anniversary recently. The veal my wife ordered was so salty she couldn’t eat it. The service was terrible as we were left waiting as other parties came and went. Not what I expected!

We held our staff holiday party here this past December (2023) and they were absolutely amazing. The staff were extremely attentive, the restaurant is beautiful and classy and food was impeccable. Due to the size of our group, we opted to have the entrées served buffet style. However, the appetizers and salads were individually served, and were amazing. The appetizers were delicious and the salads were so good I could have stopped there but the entrees were AMAZING. We enjoyed ourselves so much we came back with friends a few weeks later and were even more impressed. Every single thing we had was beautifully presented and delicious. I highly recommend checking out this restaurant, whether it be for a special occasion or a good night out with friends. You won't be disappointed.

Great cocktails, wine selection, appetizers and entrees. The desserts don't miss, either! A great local restaurant with an upscale atmosphere.

My husband and I went to Tarantini twice for dinner over the last two weeks. Both time service was 5 star; as was the wine and food. Will return regularly when in the area.

Food was really a disappointment regarding taste and visual presentation. Such a disappointment.

Excellent dining experience. Locally owned and operated. Tarantini and Flair continue to be my favorite restaurants since Ellie and Elaine opened in Governors Village

Lemon mouse was amazing. Margaret was a great waitress. I prefer more light when I eat but it's not too dark, great atmosphere
