Even after having dined at Taranta two weeks ago I still find myself raving about the entire experience. From the moment I walked in until the last morsel of delicious food was consumed, I totally enjoyed myself. Southern Italian cuisine has been taken to a whole new level with the Chef's Peruvian accents. Every dish is a marriage of the two cuisines and cultures. There is not a bad choice on the menu and the care taken to prepare each dish not to mention the fact that Taranta is one of only a handful of Boston restaurants that have been truly deemed "Green". I whole heartedly recommend it!!
Very good service: This was a restaurant we went to on accident because we looked on the menu outside, which we didnt know was the lunch menu, and decided it was affordable. Only when we sat down did we realize our mistake.
The Menu had entrees from $22.00 - $30.00 dollars. I ordered the special (ravaoli) and my she ordered steak. We both ate everything, the portions seemed just right.
The highlight of the experience was when our waiter found out about her birthday by correctly guessing it, not by us telling him, and brought her some type of italian cookies with a candle on a plate (made up to look very nice). And he didnt even charge us for that. Although the total was ~75 after tip, I felt we got a very nice experience for it.
Great blend: Great service to help choose from dishes like PAPPARDELLE CON FUNGHI PORCINI and wonderful selection of baked fish dishes. The desserts were outstanding and perfect for a couple with sweet teeth: I recommend the LIMONCELLO FLUTE.
