The experience was infuriating and disgusting. Taranta exists these days only to rip off out of towners. We had been there several years ago, and it was at least acceptable. No more! The first hint was the menu, offering no way to eat for reasonable money. But we had a table on the street, offering a great view.We were there... more

We were in the North End of Boston during the recent Feast of St. Anthony and came across Taranta purely by chance.

Then the dilemma. A very nice and attentive waiter gave me the menu. And presented the "todays special". Not being a spoilsport... more
