First time here probably won’t come back!
Food was delicious & our server was excellent!
Just the way we were treated when coming in by the hostess! We had reservations for four and she told us that there was a hiccup in the kitchen and we can sit at the bar and offered us free appetizers. We declined this offer there is 4 of us how can we even have a conversation? After waiting a few more minutes she sat us at the table in the back that sat 8. So uncomfortable! Plus there was no air conditioner. I told the hostess on the way out about how hot it was in the back and she probably shouldn’t seat anyone there, she said thank you have a good night! Her “I DON’T care attitude” was so evident. As we live local we probably won’t be going back!

Was in town on vacation and was in the mood for some good pasta. Mission Accomplished!

From the moment we walked in, the experience was one that’ll bring me back. The warm and friendly greeting I got upon entering is what I immediately liked about Tarantelli’s.

Had about a 15-20 minute wait, so my party of 3 decided to relax at the bar until our table was ready. The bartender was quick with it and patient. I ordered the Limoncello Martini and was smooth flavorful. I had to order another one once I got to the table.

And speaking of getting to the table, we didn’t even have to wait the entire 15-20.. it was more like 10. Talk about a win!

The Papperdalle Funghi was good. The portion size was really good. #yum And it came out piping hot!

Our waiter was super cool and understanding when it came to dealing with all our questions. Wish I could remember his name.. kudos to him.

I heard someone in line before us at check-in say, “See… this is why I don’t come here.” And no, I couldn’t see it. Tarantelli’s did everything right!!! The next time I’m in Wilmington, I’ll have no choice but to be back for another amazing visit.

Two enthusiastic thumbs up!!

This was our 3rd visit to Tarantelli's. I was really looking forward to the papardelle la fungi, however, it was severely under-seasoned. It was so disappointing. Half of my meal was gone by the time I had it salted properly. My husband had the same issue with his marsala. The homemade pasta was cooked perfectly and there were a decent amount of mushrooms. The cannoli was inedible. The cheesecake was fine. Definitely not as good as it used to be, especially for the price.

We had reservations for our family. We arrived a few minutes early got seeded at our regular time. I ordered the broccoli rabe, a pizza and two other homemade pasta dishes. Food was top-notch, excellent. Pricey but worth it. Will return When I want to splurge

Best Italian I have had in a long time! Loved the gluten free pasta! Couldn't tell the difference!

Very good food , average ambiance and for such an expensive place to dine I would of liked more comfortable chairs(not flat wood) and nicer tables with a table cloth or better looking tables than they have. Food was prepared excellently.

Disappointed.. Bread so so.. Salad hardly had any dressing.. Pasta was nothing special.. Had to return dessert.. It was sour.. And a/c dripped on us the whole time..
