Tarantella Ristorante

In celebration of the New Year, we visited Tarantella Ristorante with our friends Terry and Mary. We had 6 PM reservations and were promptly seated. Everything was fresh and delicious!





Warm bread and bruschetta were brought to the table. Fresh salad - three different salad dressings provided.

Appetizers - mussels in white sauce - huge platter! Fried calamari, perfectly cooked, with a delicious gravy.

Jay had the crab and lobster bisque, thinking it would be a small cup, but it was a huge bowl and very creamy and delicious.

Ken ordered the scallops imperial - he barely finished his plate.



Mary enjoyed the veal oscar and had to take her lefoverss home.



Terry had the osso bucco - although there wer a lot of bones, he couldn't finish his either.



Jay was not very hungry and ordered the antipasto appetizer (prosciutto, salami, provolone, mozzarella, olives) and the fried smelts appetizer - she had to take most of both home!





Dessert was a berry tart - very light and delicious!



We also had complimentary homemade limoncello - it was smooth and lemony.

Wines enjoyed:
2005 Sterling Vintner's Collection Chardonnay
2001 Selvole Sangiovese Toscana



This was a great way to end 2009!
