Our meal at Tartuca was exceptional from start to finish. We began with the farinata—featuring a tofu-like "pancake" made with yardlong beans - paired with turnips, cherry tomatoes, and micro greens. It was unique and tasty. We ordered the tomato risotto with fried capers, which did not disappoint. We also enjoyed the gnudi, a perfect fall dish featuring savory roasted chicken, fennel, and delicata squash. The sauce was incredible, and we were glad we ordered the focaccia, which is a star on its own. To round out the night, our waiter suggested his favorite Amaro, Averna, which we thoroughly enjoyed. Between the cozy atmosphere, excellent service, and delicious food—including great GF and vegetarian options—we highly recommend this spot.

Just a wonderful white linen table cloth dining experience. They accommodated my request of my wife's gluten intolerance and made the appropriate changes to the menu items. The chef's tasting menu was awesome and the service impeccable.

This was our second visit in just over a month, and we tried a completely different combination of dishes. Everything was delicious. The Burrata, Escarole, Shrimp Fritters, Trout, Pasta, Kimchi-laced spaghetti, Corn Meal Cookie, and Briwn Butter Cake! Our favorites were the Burrata, Escarole, Trout, Kim children spaghetti, and cake.
