Used to be great 10 years ago before whomever took over managing it and sinking it into the ground. The Love has gone out of this place.

Party of 4. Outright nasty customer service and so-so food. Multiple waiters kept trying to take our plates away before we were finished eating. Multiple times. We finally asked them to stop. I approached the hostess to ask why the rush. She stated yes it is their policy to rush because they have a 2 hour time limit. I stated we are not even an our into our meal and there are also empty tables around us. She gave a smirk and repeated her policy. I asked for a manager. She said she is the manager. She could have cared less about our experience. No apology. Do not eat at this terrible place unless you want mediocre food at a hefty price that you have to eat in 45 minutes.

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.

Tarantino’s decor and atmosphere is super cute and very swanky. Beautiful interior, great mood lighting. You feel transported back in time. And that’s 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 wasn’t 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 won’t 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 don’t 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 it’s still around is because it’s within walking distance of a lot of residences and it has a nice patio.

Farfalle dish was not fresh made; seemed to be reheated under heat lamp; pasta was not even al dente; smoked chicken was dry; overpriced; service was slow; busser kept interrupting; definitely a place I would not choose
Great neighborhood spot, and I am thrilled that the farfalle with smoked chicken and spinach is back on the menu! Probably my favorite pasta in Chicago.
