Tarantella Ristorante

Celebrating a friend's birthday, we visited Tarantella Ristorante, 128 Route 70, Medford, on Saturday, October 2, 2021. We had a wonderful time! There were five couples so we took up a lot of space, and the food was plentiful and delicious! We were seated at a long table, so we weren't able to get pictures of all the food, but most of us had enough leftover to take home for another meal.

Homemade wine - very good!
