• The specials are a must try! All food is done well.
• Wine "list" not good.

“Tarantellas are a find! It¿s off the beaten path but accessible. Our family tried this restaurant when we first moved out to the east coast desperately looking for a great non-chain restaurant. This is it! Family owned and I assumed operated. (We¿ve seen the grandkids running around once.) We've since moved out of the area, but we vowed to make the trek from Delaware at least once a year - because the food was so good. There are the traditional Italian items you'd expect to see from an Italian restaurant, but also some very nice surprises, like the seafood dishes, wonderfully made chicken and veal dishes. Its not just different types of pasta drawing in marinara sauces either. At the entrance, there is a great specials board. At least one person in your party has to try at least one of them. They are wonderful! I'm not exactly a wine connoisseur, but educated about wine enough to know good wine. Sadly, at our last visit of April of 2006 - their wine "list" is lacking. However you can BYOB for a nominal corking fee! And, last but not least, one of the greatest dessert menus (and availability) for a small restaurant that size. From traditional Italian dessert specialties to some nicely done frozen confections. (Most probably bought from a supplier, but very good quality.).”
