We always know we're welcome at Tambascio's but, on this night they just outdid even themselves. We were out with a very special friend, our food was amazing and service was more than great, it was like being with family. Then, on the way out, we ran into the father of a very special young man we knew years ago and suddenly, we were were all part of this amazing gathering at the bar. We came for supper, but wound up with family, old friends, new friends, and a fabulous evening. Thanks to John, the family, Abby, and all the staff form the warmth and welcome that made it all just happen.

I had a wonderful experience at this restaurant! The food was delicious, fresh, and beautifully presented in small course. The staff was friendly, attentive, and welcoming. The restaurant was clean, comfortable, and had a great atmosphere just a bit noisy. The prices were reasonable for the quality of food and service. I would definitely recommend this restaurant.

    I took my wife in for our anniversary and it was a fantastic experience. Justin met us at the door and took us right in, gave us a great booth in the bar area. Our server was great- knowledgeable about the menu and wine menu- suggested a great Bordeaux to pair with our steak, as well as some great specials. The overall experience was great, we will definitely go back.
