120% would recommend - service was excellent. Would suggest ordering their signature pasta out of the cheese wheel that’s dished up at the table and the Tiramisu that they make at the table for you too. Great experience. All the food and wine was excellent. We’ll be back.

If you want authentic Italian food, go to Tarominas! The food is the best. Great wait staff and the drinks are professionally made. Always a great time and highly recommend Tarominas for a date night, family night, or for a girls night out. Great time!
