   Food was great. Service was great. It was nice to have some live music, but in the enclosed space, it seemed a little too loud to be able to talk. We were seated in the back at a table with a bench on one side and chairs on the other. The bench was comfortable, except it was too deep. It required me to bend over the entire time to reach the table. I had no back support and was not able to relax. Thr table and bench heights were off. My thighs were touching the table. Very uncomfortable. Maybe lower the bench and put some large pillows for the back.

   The pasta alla ruota was great and so was the service. The love music is also a really good touch. This is the second time we’ve came here and we will definitely be back!

   For the food we got it definitely wasn’t worth $230. What really got me was they added gratuity like if they weren’t already getting my money. I was ready to tip well but after seeing that I was shocked. Setting and service was good tho.

   Tarantella on 4th borderline scammed us. We were excited to have dinner here, but we will definitely NOT be returning. An over 50% up charge just because it was Valentine's Day, for mediocre food and service. Not once were we made aware of the absurd Valentine's Day menu price per person. They deceptively placed the price on a random page on their website and blamed us for not knowing the cost, saying we should've checked the website's Valentine's Day page. The page that didn't even exist when I initially made this reservation. Management was rude and uncooperative when we asked for compensation for this ridiculous experience. Many other couples had the same frustration. Highly disappointed.

   The restaurant is absolutely adorable and it’s nice that they have live music on the patio. Service was very attentive. Honestly, the food was just not great. They served bread with butter instead of olive oil, which is not very authentically Italian. There were sun-dried tomatoes in the arugula salad which just didn’t really complement the flavor at all. I did not love their red sauce on the spaghetti. They talked me into a lemon raspberry cheesecake for dessert, but it was not a cheesecake at all. It was just a cake. And the whipped cream tasted terrible, like it didn’t have enough sugar, and it actually tasted like it had gone off. I’m sad to say I probably will not be back.

    Perfect! Great food, attentive but not overbearing staff, quick service, all the food was fresh, light, and prepared perfectly. We started with the calamari fritti, had the lasagne and the boar pasta special and finished with the cannolis and the limoncello cheesecake. We sat in the back patio area which was a very peaceful setting with live music and heat lamps when the night chill settled in. We will definitely be back!
