    I had the pleasure of dining at Tarallucci, and it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. The menu offers a good selection of classic and modern Italian dishes, we started with spaghetti paired perfectly with the fresh tomato sauce and basil. For the main course, I had pollo - cooked to perfection with a rich, flavorful sauce that tasted like it had been simmering for hours. My friend got chicken milanese which was delightful. Also bread pudding was a great way to end the evening. The atmosphere is warm and inviting due to staff. My friend and I were greeted by Ari at the door, and Dillan and Aleksei made our experience fantastic. The service was outstanding. The staff was friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive without being intrusive. They even offered great wine recommendations to complement our meal. Overall, this place is a must-visit for anyone who loves authentic Italian cuisine. Whether you’re looking for a cozy dinner for two or a lively meal with friends and family, this place delivers in every way. Can’t wait to go back!
