Tarantino's - Chicago

Great food and great atmosphere. They have some students working there that are not really well trained but that’s the way things are today.Food: 5/5

Absolutely delicious! The menu size is the right size to not be overwhelming. We split a pasta dish and the crispy brussel sprouts and it was the perfect combo. Kind and timely service with a great atmosphere. Everyone in our group loved their meal!

This is going to be a long review…..First thing first….This is NOT an Italian restaurant!!! This is a Chinese restaurant that is disguised as a Italian restaurant and their food is not Italian. Also, do not go here if you’re black, they are not friendly and appeases the white demographic by trying to fit in and claim they are a Italian!Upon walking in, my friend and I wasn’t greeted with much excitement to have us there. We were seated and the waiter took about 15 mins to come take our drink and food order. Fast forward about 20 mins later, everything come…The drinks were not good, and the appetizers tasted like Chinese food. They honestly cook their food in the same oil that the Chinese restaurants cook their food in. (Also the waiters are predominantly of Chinese descent and so are the cooks).So, we decided to order our food and in the meantime we checked the reviews of the place and noticed that alot of people was NOT satisfied with food! It was flavorless and dry and would not be back. We made a collective decision to leave and when we tried to get our waiters attention, he deliberately ignored us for 5 mins and we had to wave down another waiter and she helped us. Our original waiter came to the table and we told him we were leaving and that we were not paying for the food (we have not received it by that time) he gave us an attitude and then walked away. He came back with our check and on that check was the food that’s we never received along with what we actually consumed (2 drinks and two appetizers) we told him and he looked surprised that it “wasn’t removed” from our bill. He then proceeded to go and remove the additional items and handed our bill back with tab correct amount. We paid and left and agreed to never go back!!Very bad experience over all!! SMH

Rigatoni was very undercooked and the roasted Brussels sprouts are just skins, not the usual whole/half sprout. Neither dish came out hot.All would be passable at a lower price point for $26 and $10 respectively, you should be getting better quality. No one seemed particularly eager to finish their plate. Giving 3 instead of 2 because the servers are incredibly sweet.

The arugula salad was excellent. Very lightly dressed. The pasta is big enough to split and we had the farfalle with chicken it was wonderful. It's very lightly spiced but very flavorful.Food: 5/5
