all you can eat sghetti – they occasionally have this egg plant pasta dish that's great. they have pretty good pasta and pizza (did anyone say shrimp pizza?!). weekdays before noon they have all you can eat spaghetti for cheap..(i think it's about 3.95). the service sometimes is sacrificed during the lunch rush but the help is always polite and friendly.
Just like a home cooked meal – I love the food and the staff is very friendly. Great place to have dinner. The restaurant is very small so get there early. If you have to wait, it's worth it!
When the moon hits your eye – Think Lady and the Tramp--Tarantino's is that kind of Italian restaurant. A little noisier and cheerful than romantic perhaps, but my wife and I love going on dates there. Great pasta (try the chiara) and pizza. This is a casual spot, but the staff are always in a good mood--they do an amazing job of making this crowded little restaurant work better than you would think possible.
Get there Early – Definitely a great place to enjoy a classic italian enviroment and good food. Pizza & pasta is good and don't forgot the salad. Add some mozzeralla cheese to it and you'll have the old school version of their salad. Beer's are nice and cold and the service is great... It does get packed at lunch and for dinner on Fridays, so get there early!
A classic... – Tarantino's is almost a stereotype of the Italian-American restaurant. Cash only (hit the ATM before you go), red checkered tablecloths, and lots of olive oil and red sauce, everywhere you look. The pasta is really tasty, but has lots of olive oil. Since I tend to dine on the lighter side, I'm a fan of the combination salad--a platter of garlic and basil tomatoes, pasta salad, vinegared cabbage, and cucumbers. If you like pizza, I highly recommend it here. My personal favorite is the shrimp and pesto.
Tiny place-worth the wait for a table – The standard monthly pizza lunch stop. The "white" pizza is to die for if you do the veggie thing. Don't ask for a Hawaiian because they just don't do pineapple (thank God!). Dining in can be difficult if you don't get there early for the lunch rush. But who knows, you might get a chance to lunch elbow to elbow with a celebrity in the know.
