Tarantino's

About this business

Tarantino's a friendly neighborhood kind of a restaurant, which is frequented by locals who just want to relax after a hard day's work. The heavy curtains, oakwood tables and candles with muffled voices in the background allow you to unwind as you enter. The food is the icing on the cake - seafood appetizers, fish specials, risotto, and pastas. Top it with chocolate cake and you're ready to roll. The wait staff is friendly, and the martinis are good. The wine list is unimpressive though.

Perfect place to start wrapping up the summer – I found this restaurant randomly on citysearch. I was looking for a restaurant that we had never tried before in this area where we could sit outside. We loved our waitress (Shelly). She was on top of things from start to finish. The food was super tasty from our appetizer to our dessert. I never wanted the dinner to end, kind of like I don't want this summer to end! We had the fried calamari that was perfect. The pasta dishes were perfect. The chocolate cake was perfect. I am ... read more

Annual Visit – We come up from Nashville once a year for a change of scenery, stay in the city and hit the shops of Armitage and Wicker Park. Tarantino's will definately be one of our 2 dining spots for the weekend. Food was great, service was great and the atmosphere was perfect. Food: Butternut Squash Soup and Lamb Chops were perfect. Service: nice waiter. Attentive Atmosphere: exposed brick, high ceilings, romantic but could see where a group would also be comfortable. Great size restaurant - not too big/not too small. I ... read more

Great Food, Great Service – I LOVE Tarantino's - always excellent with a variety of foods and tastes. Try the Rissotto and whatever fish special they have.

Overrated and overpriced. – Despite its fairly good reputation, Tarantino's is overpriced and overrated. Waiters have an attitude.

Excellent Food! – The food, the ambiance, the wine is all great here. The listing of specials was diverse and long. Our entire group was happy with the diversity of the menu and the service. They serve fresh bread and a tapenade immediately when seated. I ordered an appetizer of calamari and entree special of breast of chicken stuffed with goat cheese and herbs that were both fantastic!

Contemporary Italian food and a soothing atmosphere in Lincoln Park. – In Short Entering Tarantino's is a bit like walking onstage: Diners enter through a large black curtain that brings you into a a high-ceilinged, cozy room. Oak tables with candles set a romantic mood. The contemporary, seasonal menu favors light Italian food. There's always a fresh fish special and a daily risotto. The two-sausage pizza is a tempting appetizer. Pasta entrees are eye-pleasing and original, like farfalle and smoked chicken with spinach and ... read more

tasty treats abound – tarantino's is a fantastic place to relax and enjoy a delicious cocktail as well as a fine meal. the beet salad is a great starter. the specials are always fresh. and the portions are very generous. the espresso martini is a great finish to any meal, especially if you're too full to order something from the dessert menu.

Bad Service – The food was great, however the service was horrible. It seems they only cater to Lincoln Park Snobs. NO THANKS.
