From being warmly greeted at the door, to a table I had requested on Open Table when I made the reservation (and Sal e Pepe made happen), to the food and friendly service, it was one of the most enjoyable dining experiences I’ve had.

Honestly my wife and I loved it. Such a friendly staff. The waiter forgot our sodas but was super apologetic and it really wasn't a big deal. Food was outstanding. Highly recommend. The owners are wonderful and we will definitely go back!

Always check out the specials first…. Tambascio’s does delicious seafood dishes. I especially like the salmon on lightly sautéed spinach and garlic. The steak is of extremely good quality and cooked just as you’d like it. Comfortable atmosphere in this small gem and very nice in the atrium. Small salad to go with entree is a nice addition to menu choices. Staff is wonderful. Great to see John and have enlightened conversation. A friendly location we like to frequent.
