Tarallucci e Vino Upper West Side: A Taste of Italy Awaits

This was a great find for lunch with friends. We had the Caesar salad, the Ragu and the caprese panini. The food tasted great and was just the right amount. Service was superb as well.

Tarallucci e Vino greats you with a deep cozy ambiance as soon as you walk in. The food transports you to Italy on your own journey of taste. The best part was the service, immediately being helped by Martina the bartender making sure I had the best experience. Looking for a trip to Italy for a decent price? COME HERE

I love this place. Martina who always takes care of us is the best. Beautiful vibe and energy and so happy. I highly recommend to go to this restaurant. Thank you Martina for such an incredible s

Great Italian spot! I love the vibe, food and great service! Martina is wonderful!!! Thank you

Server made our simple drink night really great, thanks! Will look up their name! Service generally really friendly here, so I do appreciate it.

Great place! I was very surprised about how delicious the food was, it was my 2nd evening in Nyc & this restaurant was 1 of my better memories. Martina was very nice & made the experience very pleasant. She was particularly friendly, nice & answered all my questions kindly. I def reccommend for everyone in the nyc area.

Had made reservations for NYE which had a Prix Fixe menu with a decent split of vegetarian and meat selection across three courses. We went for the early seating and it was relatively quiet on a rainy last day of the year. Alex, our server, was friendly and was kind enough to offer us a glass of wine on the house, after he felt bad having charged full price for our little one on the Prix Fixe menu. Food overall was pretty decent. There was a Pappardelle pasta for our little one, and a few great options for meat lovers, including a Rib-eye steak which unfortunately lacked flavor, in spite of adding their rather heavy garlic and heavy cream sauce. The lobster tail was thoroughly enjoyed by the seafood lover on our table, and was enough to knock a person out on the table next to us, who possibly had a shell fish allergy. We were glad to see the person doing fine though, towards the end of the meal. Definitely not a nice way to end the year! Noise levels were on the average end throughout our time there, and their menu and service were pretty good, definitely on the expensive end though. Will definitely visit again sometime in the near future!

My husband and I were walking by on a weekday evening and decided to stop for a light dinner outdoors. The ambiance and service were standard, and the food was good overall. My husband fell in love with the spaghetti featuring Nonna Michelina's sauce. The fresh pasta was perfectly cooked, and the tiny meatballs were adorable and generously covered in sauce. Though I'm usually not a fan of meatballs, I found myself enjoying the cute bites. The branzino, on the other hand, was nothing exceptional. We paid through the InKinda app and received $25 off our bill. It's a cute spot in the neighborhood.

Had a very nice dinner here with some great people watching. Got a nice table outside and started with a good bottle of Cab. Took in the beautiful weather, relaxed and enjoyed the cool vibe and our dinner. Polipo- large enough to share. Charred Octopus served on top of fennel , roasted potatoes, and arugula with lemon and olives. Grilled Branzino- a nice piece of Mediterranean Sea Bass, mild and sweet and cooked with capers, cherry tomatoes, kalamata olives. A side of oven roasted fennel with a parmesan gratin was served alongside the fish. Service was excellent from the hostess, the nice woman behind the bar, and Dillan our server, all making the evening so enjoyable. Great night, Great atmosphere, great food.

Wow, did not expect to like this neighborhood place - especially for breakfast. Their side of homefries is seriously good - very flavorful, crispy on the outside and meltingly soft on the inside. The side is expensive but it easily feeds two as a side dish. The pastries are great - but be aware that they are Italian. So the peach danish was delish - but bore only a passing ressemblance to a deli danish. It was lighter, crispy and less greasy. Ditto for the cinnamon roll - I thought it was a bit too refined, my friend loved it. We fought over the corneto. If you get the 3 pastry selection, go to the bar and look at all the offerings. There were some specials that we could have selected. The French toast was very good, the fruit was fresh - more than just a garnish. Once again, this is a splittable dish. The bacon was thick but crispy - perfect for me. And the coffe was AMAZING! Seriously - I got iced coffee and it was a treat as opposed to an afterthought. Dinner was equally pleasant. The charred octopus app is dinner sized. The octopus was quite large and meaty - but also very tender. I love octopus and this was a great version. My friend got the pinsa with proscuitto. She liked it, I thought it looked a bit bready, but I am biased towards NYC thin slices. I had the broccoli, sausage pasta and it was light but filling - great for a hot summer's evening. One drawback - Happy Hour is ONLY at the bar. C'mon guys! Still, I am looking forward to trying more dishes here, what a chill neighborhood place.
