I suppose it doesn&#39;t make sense to order filet mignon or tilapia at an Italian-American restaurant that has been cooking delicious rigatoni and bruschetta and orechiette and black linguini and two-sausage pizza for 20 years. But, on this night, I had a taste for filet mignon. Tarantino&#39;s 10-ounce filet was seasoned, grilled and glistening with truffle butter, something right out of the best steakhouse in town. Medium well and tender. I couldn&#39;t have asked for more. My wife traces her bloodlines to northern Italy so the menu excited her from the grilled polenta to the apricot crusted rack of lamb with rosemary mashed potatoes and brussels sprouts. I passed up the high recommended mixed heirloom tomato salad with fresh mozzarella in favor of the parmesan shrimp. What can I say? I&#39;m a sucker for a tasty shrimp dish. The filet mignon with mushrooms and asparagus and green beans and rosemary whipped potatoes was a culinary masterpiece. Next time I&#39;ll probably order the 16-ounce bone-in ribeye. Finally, we shared a wonderful plate of tiramisu. How can you dine at an Italian restaurant without trying the tiramisu? And would any self-respecting Italian restaurant not include home-made tiramisu on its menu?

The store purple, enchanting and elegant coexist, elegant and concise combination. The boss is an elegant woman, combining chocolate and women&#39;s characteristics boldly. In addition to women, who dares to put purple and chocolate together! ? Needless to say, the world&#39;s top ten famous chocolate brands. ​

Through the glass, you can see the bakers are working hard to make all kinds of bread. From the whole European bag to the coffee dessert, the fragrance is savoury! Cracked wall recommended to celebrate bread! The skin is crisp and a bite of the slag is straight, the layer is clear, the interior is soft and full of butter! Definitely one of the best celery breads in Chicago! Cheese ham is full of sesame meat, and I like it too! ​

Large bar...great appetizers and food. Many...many...many tvs for sports(we watched NCAA tourney). Very loud but fun. Wait staff is excellent.

If you find yourself in the Lincoln Park section of Chicago and in need of a very good local restaurant, you cannot go wrong with Tarantino&#39;s! The food (mostly Italian if one has to apply a label) is excellent (with many specials being offered a), the wine selection is well above average, the service is quite good and the price is right. We visited recently with my daughter, her husband and one year old son for an early dinner Saturday night. We received a warm welcome and the wait staff accommodated our needs and timing with a toddler in tow. We enjoyed an excellent meal at a relatively leisurely pace for a fair price. Doesn&#39;t get much better than that!

&quot;Tarantino&#39;s&quot; was great ***. Heirloom tomatoes with mozzarella in a balsamic vinaigrette out of this world. My wife had chicken parmesan she enjoyed it very much and I had the tilapia, the best I have ever had. So if your in the city&#39;s Lincoln Park area that&#39;s the place to go for Italian food that&#39;s very good.

Ate here with a group recently and also some time ago. Both times my reaction was mixed. The pizzas and the appetizers seem to be the best offerings here. The pastas were OK. Service is good and wines by the bottle are not overly marked up. The premises are casual attractive and the outdoor seating (weather permitting) is very pleasant. Deserts are substandard.
