Tarantino Restaurant

Restaurant was closed. With some difficulty on a holiday weekend, we found a table elsewhere. Very disappointing! We felt that someone should have been able to notify us.

Probably best Italian restaurant in Glasgow wonderful food and very relaxed old fashioned atmosphere. Never had a bad meal here and will obviously go again

The good was delicious and the service was outstanding! We were visiting from Canada and stumbled across Tarantinos. Loved our meal and made sure to eat there our last night in Scotland.

I have been in this restaurant several times and always thoroughly enjoyed the meals but the one on Saturday night was absolutley outstanding. I had Gamberoni Picante followed by Vitella al Vino. Superb!

We have visited Tarantino a number of times now and every visit has been as good as the first. The food is amazing and as good as any meal we have had in Italy. Staff are excellent. We will definately be back again.

Great authentic food and friendly service. Everyone loved their meals and we would definitely go back for another great experience. Highly recommended and worth the trip

Tarantino is my favourite restaurant in the Finnieston area, Great attentive but not intrusive service, Wonderful food. Excellent value. Without the pretentiousness of some of the nearby restaurants, Thoroughly recommended.

Excellent food and service in a well presented small restaurant. The staff were very helpful and the service was very quick. We will definitely go back!

Lovely meal and friendly service. Have dined a few times and always had a lovely meal. Will be back and would highly recommend to try.

Genuine Italian run by Italians!! The waiter was passionate about the cuisine and good quality ingredients. Excellent, enjoyable meal on a cold Sunday night in February. Thanks yo to all the staff at Tarantino's

Absolutely fabulous meal. I had rigatoni with sausage. It came wrapped in tinfoil which was a really nice touch. Lovely restaurant with great service. Would definitely go back.

Lovely traditional Italian restaurant. Decor and ambiance fabulous, staff delightful and food just fantastico! We had a great night and will definitely visit on a regular basis.

Booked for 8:00 pm on a Friday night in February. A small & intimate restaurant with a great atmosphere. Restaurant was just about full. Had the antipasti to start & sea bass as a mains - both were excellent. Would also add that the service was pitched just about right - we didn’t feel at all rushed .

What a wonderful restaurant. It’s a truly authentic Italian restaurant and the ambiance was excellent. The staff were so accommodating and made two of us main courses which were not on the menu. My veal Milanese was the best I’ve ever tasted and I’ve tasted a lot over the years.

Small cosy restaurant, ordered from the early evening menu, limited choices but the food was good value for money, 2 courses for £14.95, not the friendliest of staff though.

Cosy busy traditional Italian with a buzz. Food choices are good with a bit of originality, I had chicken stuffed with haggis. Staff attentive without being intrusive.

Excellent Southern Italian restaurant. Very reliable - some delicious pasta dishes but also steaks, fish, seafood and so on. Great Puglian wines - try the Primitivo. Service always spot on.

Everything was lovely. Thoroughly enjoyed the dining experience. Would highly recommend it. Lovely food, the staff were very friendly and the restaurant has a great atmosphere.

Had a pleasant evening. Its cosy and intimate and the food was excellent. Staff were friendly and attentive. A tad expensive I thought but well worth a treat. Well located and parking was not a problem. They readily accommodated a slightly later than booked start.

This was a birthday celebration and our first time at Tarantino Ristorante. It is a small restaurant with an authentic Italian feel to it. The service was excellent with very attentive and helpful staff. The food was lovely, excellent presentation and beautifully cooked. I will definitely be making another visit in the near future and can recommend.

What a fabulous dining experience, Service was excellent and the lunch menu could not be faulted. Great value. The barman makes a mean Negroni!!! Check the bill, because service can be added in. Ricardo

FIRST TIME VISIT - FOOD WONDERFUL - SERVICE VERY EFFICIENT - PRICES REASONABLE - COSY ATMOSPHERE= WOULD DEFINATELY ADVISE ANYONE TO TRY THIS ONE OUT.

Decent service, but food average and menu not great. Restaurant was freezing as we were sitting beside the window. Not enjoyable. Wouldn't recommend or go back.

Intimate little Italian restaurant conveniently located for Finnieston and the SEC Hydro. The staff were really friendly and helpful, and the food was delicious with substantial portions. Would definitely revisit.

An all round great evening! Will return many times. Service and quality of food were excellent. £100 for two with wine etc. seems to be the norm.

Food was great apart from the wild boar meatballs which were dry and rather tasteless. Temperature in the restaurant was low with some diners resorting to wearing their outdoor jackets during the meal. Not sure if I would return.

From the moment we stepped in and sat down the staff were welcoming and attentive. The food was authentically Italian and delicious. Will definitely be going back.

Very nice early dinner from their pre 18:30 menu. Very good value. Nice environment and knowledgeable staff. Excellect food served quickly but never felt rushed.

Fantastic ambience, friendly service and a delicious menu! Coming from a Scottish/Italian family I highly recommend this restaurant as a fantastic and authentic Italian restaurant. I'll definitely be back again - you should go try it out if you've not been yet!!

Lovely atmosphere and very tasty food. Staff were very knowledgeable about food and wines and also very attentive. Went with friends who'd never been but vowed to return.

Nice to look at and atmosphere. Sadly the food was not up to standard. I had the steak, which was supposed to come with a spicy sauce. The steak was not good quality and the sauce was just tomato and red peppers which tasted too sweet and no spice. At £26 for the steak, I expected more quite frankly. My g/f had pasta, which was so bland and really wasn’t good at all. Service was equally poor and so slow. Was looking forward to this as the restaurant looked good, but felt disappointed!

Really enjoyed the meal. Service was friendly and ambiance was good. Only disappointment was a king prawn starter that had one very tasty and succulent king prawn still in its shell and five less tasty and much smaller shelled prawns. When we asked we were told people prefer shelled prawns! However our pasta dishes were superb so no complaints there and we would visit again - but we'd ask for all prawns to be fresh!

My husband and I had a delicious meal before a gig at the hydro. The food was lovely and the service was excellent. We will definitely return.

Food was good. Atmosphere was right. A bit on the small side, but there's nothing you can do about that. Not cheap, but you get what you pay for. Service was good. Would go back

Great atmosphere. Food OK, but not on par with previous experience. Disappointingly short wine list. Seems to have lost something. Has there been a change of owner?

Excellent food and service. One of the best Italians in Glasgow. We went for a special occasion and all left very happy. Try the tiramisu. It's fantastic

Great find. Super service and lovely food. Good location. Small and intimate restaurant but with a good atmosphere. Lovely way to celebrate our 46th Wedding anniversary with family.

Excellent food, atmosphere and very friendly staff. Location excellent for events in Kelvin Bandstand. Small but homely when looking for an intimate well cooked meal.

A lovely authentic restaurant from Puglia. All ingredients are delicious and very fresh. Well worth a visit. Staff could not do enough for us! Definitely be back.

Great authentic food and attentitive service. Nice cosy feel within the restaurant itself and very close to local hotels and sites at Kelvingrove. Wine was good too!
