Tarantella (Italian)

After an exhausting day watching windows being installed in our home, Ken and Jay visited Tarantella in Medford today, because Ken had a craving for either veal saltimbucca or chicken parmesan. He ended up with neither and instead choose a Special. LOL

You are immediately brought bruschetta and the bread basket while perusing your menu.





Delicious! The bread is warm and crusty and addictive!

We keep forgetting that a salad is included with the meal. Tonight they had homemade Italian dressing, which Ken enjoyed, homemade garlic dressing and blue cheese dressing. Jay dressed hers with oil and vinegar. Very fresh.



 Appetizers:

Ken had the shrimp cocktail (5 large shrimp), which he promptly devoured.


Jay enjoyed the fried smelts, which were the best she ever had - lightly breaded and very tasty, especially with the marinara sauce.


Entrees:

Ken ordered the Scallops Imperial special which came with crab meat sauce and seafood ravioli. He ate it so fast, Jay hadn't even begun to dig into her...


Lamb Chops (medium rare) special, with roasted potatoes and green beans. Lunch tomorrow!

Wines enjoyed:



Too full for dessert, we enjoyed the Limencello. Very refreshing for the end of the meal!

We plan to return on Sunday, so Ken can get his parm, and we can enjoy the antipasti appetizer.
