Tarantino's

My favorite neighborhood Italian place in Chicago. Great atmosphere, friendly staff, and I am obsessed with the Fusilli, get it every time. It is incredible.

Tarantinos decor and atmosphere is super cute and very swanky. Beautiful interior, great mood lighting. You feel transported back in time. And thats where the good things end. The service is absolutely awful. We sat for maybe 20 minutes waiting to be served. The service was slow and seemed pretentious. The food was also WAY overpriced compared to the quality. It wasnt awful food, but I did not feel the quality lived up to the value one would expect from the price. Overall, this was a disappointment, and I wont be back anytime soon. I had high hopes for the space, but the decor and atmosphere are not precursors, unfortunately, to a great dining experience.

Paid $35 for an eggplant parmesan dish. The pasta tasted like it was from a box - at this price point, not having freshly made pasta is crazy. The tomato sauce tasted like it was from a jar or poorly made from scratch. I dont like a lot of breading so removed it from the two pieces of eggplant I received, and the two slices of eggplant were paper thin. All in all my dish was very overpriced. My friend ordered the salmon vesuvio and had a similar reaction - poorly cooked and overpriced. The ambiance of the place is fine and I imagine the only reason its still around is because its within walking distance of a lot of residences and it has a nice patio.
