Beyond amazing. Sharon was the best server ever. She made the experience memorable. Food was outstanding and did not disappoint. The butternut squash soup with marshmallows was decadent. The squash pasta was even better. The boots with the fir warmed me up on a cold night. Key lime pie was the best I've had in a while!

My partner and I were celebrating our anniversary and the Tagliata staff were so celebratory by writing us a personalized card and bringing out complimentary Prosecco. The service was outstanding—genuinely one of the best experiences we’ve had at a restaurant. The food was delicious and some of the best, most authentic Italian we’ve tasted.

Food was excellent. We were there at 3pm on a Saturday and there was only one server in the entire restaurant. He was dealing with impatient people, being double and triple-sat multiple times while we were there, and 10+ tables all on his own. So, overall, the service was slow. But, given the circumstances, our server deserves a medal! He was friendly, upbeat, and as attentive as humanly possible with more than 10 tables on his own.
