Tarantino Restaurant

Tarantino pleases diners time and time again with their innovative twist on traditional Italian cuisine. As part of the Marchetti family of restaurants (Osteria Applausi in Old Greenwich and Columbus Park in Stamford), Tarantino consistently delivers quality ingredients, fabulous cuisine and gracious service.
By creatively reinventing traditional dishes, skillfully presented in a homey atmosphere, guests enjoy delicious food made with local and seasonal ingredients. The wine list offers fine selections from the world’s major regions with a special focus on Italy. Carpaccio, homemade ravioli, fish stew and osso buco are just some of the delightful choices you’ll enjoy at Tarantino.
Tarantino is a classic Italian restaurant with a devout following. In addition to a lively bar, when you dine here you'll appreciate the understated elegance, affable service and excellent food.

"We came for our anniversary, which I noted in the reservation and when I got to the table, the server brought over a complimentary glass of champagne. Following that, all of the food we ordered was amazing and the service was even better! Cannot wait to go back!!'"

"I have been to Tarantino's before and always enjoy the food. Because it is so popular, it is very loud and makes it difficult to speak to others at the table. I had received an email that said it was restaurant week, but when we arrived that was not the case. Was a little disappointed because the menu offering was at a reduced price, but nonetheless we enjoyed our meal."

"Very noisy (at least the night we were there) but if you can get past the need to shout at your table mates, the food is worthwhile."

"Only visited Tarantino for coporate cocktail parties - So this was a 1st time for a formal luncheon. The host/owner was wonderfully welcoming and proceeded to provide the six of us with a brilliant Express lunch. Very generous, absolutely delicious and very economical, with no sense at all that it was an Express Meal in the sense of being rushed. We wish we could have lingered longer with the lovely wine."

"We had a delicious dinner as usual! There were a good selection of wines by the glass. And I loved that you could get half glasses if you want just a little bit more.
The night we went was very quiet-Monday night of a three day weekend. Very unusual for this restaurant but perfect for us since we had our grandchildren with us .
We always enjoy our dinners at Tarantino's and this was no exception!
