The menu choices were boring. Same old things you can get anywhere. I was hoping they'd have some interesting specials but they didn't. My husband's steak dinner was good but I didn't like the penne carbonara. While the alfredo sauce was good, the bacon was not cooked - it was under cooked and rubbery. I told the server and she took the cost off our bill.
July 10, 2019
Great place and delightful dining experience. John the owner greets everyone as if they are friends. The food is excellent and consistant. I have not had a substandard meal there in all the years we have been going.

Main veal dish was way over cooked and had to be returned.

We can't help ourselves. We just keep coming back because of the great service and the food, every bit as good as the fanciest restaurants in the area regardless of price.
April 11, 2016
Great server
April 5, 2016
Great calzone.Fair chicken Parmesan ... Third attempt eating this dish ... Have decided it's just not worth ordering ... Very plain-Jane and chicken itself was not very tender or juicy. Smallish portions.Excellent side of pasta, garlic and oil. Charged me extra for the garlic and oil but should have informed me when taking my order ...Caesar salad ... Just ok. Not excellent ... Not the freshest greens/a little tired.Calamari was terrible ... Absolutely terrible ... Basically commercial frozen quality deep fried and served with sauce. Tough and chewy ... Lacking in flavor. Cannot say enough bad things about this one.Server forgot to serve my soup ... So brought in a to-go container.I'm marking "no" for whether we will go back ... I will probably go back eventually but can't see trying dinner entrees again ... Will stick to pizza or calzones.
April 3, 2016
Tambascios is an excellent eatery. The owner comes over to greet everyone and ask how your food was which is always fantastic!You won't be sorry if you visit Tambascios! The food is awesome.
February 26, 2016
Food was really good except one entree.Managment took it off the bill and offered apologies/replacement.Strongly recommend Tambascios to my friends and will continue to. They take care of their customers.
February 21, 2016
great friendly service and very good food
February 19, 2016
All the elements that make for an excellent meal existed last night for dinner. Quiet table, nice background music, tasty appetizers, good soup and salad, delicious entrée, great bread, professional service and enough food to take home and provide for our dinner tonight. That makes it 5 star for us and that is what we get every time we eat at Tambascios.
February 14, 2016
Everything is always great at Tambascios. Tonight though seemed like everything was slower than usual. The wait staff were hustling and attentive but had too much to handle as quickly as should have been the case. Maybe they were short staff in the kitchen and they were helping out. Not sure, but food and restaurant are always great. Normally would rate a 5.
February 12, 2016
Very friendly staff and. Owner
February 10, 2016
Great service and food. Great house dressing for salad.
February 2, 2016
I enjoy the complete dining experience. It's starts with a basket of delicious bread and a bowl of olives with oil for dipping. The entrees are all delicious as they are individually prepared. They have specialty ice cream from the local farm that is a must to order.
January 29, 2016
Mussels on special & as of late have been small, either learn to cook small ones or don't accept product very disappointing. Today was very booked so kitchen got behind, no problem Pam kept us updated, we both received our entrees hot except I ordered seafood Posillipo & I think, for me, a bit overcooked because it was kept hot awaiting Pete's pizza to be ready.
January 28, 2016
Love the waitress served us a few times but sometimes she disappears

We love Tambascios. The food is great (best mussels posolipo ever) and the owner and staff make you feel like family. We especially like the chicken parm and the Portugese clams. Drinks are great too.
December 27, 2015
It was good! Perhaps include butter as well as oil with the bread.

Great food! Excellent service
December 5, 2015
we eat here quite often. Tt was not very crowded. It took a ling very long time between courses this visit which is unusual. At least 20 minutes from appetizer to salad and salad to meal. A table next to us received their meal 10 minutes before us and arrived a half hourr after.

Need to add gluten pasta
November 17, 2015
Very good food, especially the seafood items. Sauces delicious.
November 16, 2015
Our daughter's seafood over pasta marinara, and our son's ravioli were outstanding. My husband's sole was delicious, as was my chicken parmagiana. Our grandson's meatballs and spagetti was the best he had ever had. Bottom line, everything was great: the warm welcome, the food, service, and ambiance. Thats why we keep coming back to Tambascio's.
October 13, 2015
This restaurant servers the best possible Marsala I know. That together with an excellent service make every visit a treat.

A must have is the Chicken Anthony, outstanding.
August 26, 2015
Service good, food excellent.
August 16, 2015
Should you call ahead, YES. They are always filled with people waiting. Why? Because the service from very pleasant staff, dishes prepared by an outstanding chef are the answer. If you miss treating your palet to this experience, you will have missed a lot.
August 15, 2015
The restaurant was very nice inside and the menu was had many choices as well as many desert choices. The waitress was excellent and food was terrific. I can't wait to go back!! The manager was even by the door to ask if everything was good!!

July 14, 2015
This is the restaurant you go to to get the best Chicken Marsala in the nation maybe even the world. That in combination with a service which leaves nothing to wish for it is just the best.
July 4, 2015
Food excellent Service was excellent constantly aware we were done with apps cleared immediately cleared salad away. Checked on us several times to see if we needed anything
June 21, 2015
We went on Father's Day and it was unexpectedly over crowded and under staffed.
June 11, 2015
The food was excellent as usual. This time they charged me an extra $1 for ordering garlic-and-oil on my spaghetti. Not that is that much money but I find that just cheap. You are loosing that much on the oil that you have to charge extra for something you never charged for before?
June 8, 2015

outstanding food and service--lovely waitress
October 10, 2014
As always, the food was absolutely on the top. Whatever they serve nobody can make it better. The service was excellent with the ever pleasant waitress. Can anything be better? Yes, if they were closer to our home in VT. I guess the food wouldn't taste that good then so stay where you are. We love it.

This is a friendly, warm restaurant with well spaced tables (the atrium is a bit crowded). We like this place a lot.The food is always good. I just wish they would have Ferris' Vanilla ice cream!
March 31, 2014
I think that with the needs of the customers more attention needs to be paid to less fat! Less oil, no butter & why not introduce spray oils or spray butter. Try it.Lorraine & Pete Sheftz
March 16, 2014
The food was excellent, we were not rushed even though the restaurant was extremely busy and the owner stopped by our table. We will return!
March 15, 2014
Worst food Ive eaten out.. everything was frozen. Even the piazza was horrible, tasted like the toppings and even the cheese may have been frozen. Food took a long time to get to the table. The price for frozen prepaired foods was too high. They were charging dinner prices that I pay at upscale restaurants with fresh food. Our total price was just for piazza and a couple of subs, no drinks.
March 9, 2014
Always great food!
March 9, 2014
Food was excellent. Service was a bit slow but the food was worth the wait.

Food quality was very good and the portions were bountiful. The entertainment consisting of a solo guitar player was loud and annoyingly off key. This definitely spoiled our dining experience. Unfortunately service was also lacking.
October 26, 2013
Always great food. Service by Basia fabulous. Nice seeing owner John going around saying hello to diners. Gerrod always a terrific ambassador for the restaurant.
October 19, 2013

As usual, a delightful evening meal in the porch. And, as usual, the appetizers and entrees were delicious, wine was just right and we enjoyed the super service from Basia. And we enjoyed the meal again the next night as we took home what was left of the generous portions.

Food was outstanding! Service was great until after our meal was served. Then they simply forgot about us. We waited over an hour to get somone's attention just to get our bill. We wanted to order coffee and dessert, but by the time we finally reached our waitress, we had already spent another $10 on a babysitter to sit around ourselves.

Very pleasant experience. I loved sitting in the glassed-in "greenhouse". The live music was nice.
April 21, 2013
One of the entrees came out cold and the waitress never came by to check. It was a busy night and service was very very slow. Disappointing experience overall.

I have eaten at Tambascios several times over the years and always enjoyed it. This time I had the shrimp, scallops and clams in the fra diavlo sauce. My only complaint is that the sauce was way too heavy to be served with seafood. It seemed to me that they are using their marinara sauce rather than making a lighter sauce for the seafood dishes. Heavy sauces overpower the delicate flavors of seafood.
October 22, 2012
Great food. Warm friendly atmosphere
October 19, 2012
What can be better than a clean comfortable, attractive room, prompt, courteous service, generous and well prepared food and reasonable prices? A wonderful experience, as in prior visits.

Outstanding food and service. John T. always makes us feel welcomed. Owner interaction is a high value-add.
June 15, 2012
We drive by it so we knew about it. Also liked it when it was George's. Certificate is only "part" of the reason we go there, Service always good. Basha was excellent waitress this evening. And the bus girl was fun.
June 15, 2012
It was a lovely evening. I really like the olive oil and olives that accomplanied the bread.
June 3, 2012
Very enjoyable experience. Great food. Great service AND entertainment!!
June 3, 2012
the manager/owner is very accomadating, seating us once without reservations, and the next time right away with no waiting. We had excellent service the first time; however, we had very poor service last night. We would definately go back for the excellent food
May 31, 2012
Very friendly family style. Every time we go, we strike up a conversation with a perfect stranger and the evening is all that much more enjoyable. Please don't stop the Restaurant.com certificates. We would still go there, but not as often. It helps...
May 17, 2012
Very nice meal. Prices are a few dollars higher than other restaurants in the area.
April 30, 2012
Been going to this restaurant for years and has always been great food.

great service and great food....
April 6, 2012
I was upset that after our waitress asked what kind of sauce I wanted on my pasta & gave me a list of choices, I was charged $2 for the vodka sauce. Don't give me that choice without telling me it will be an additional charge. Plus my pasta was swimming in the sauce & I had to get more pasta just to soak it up
March 26, 2012
The service was excellant, one dinner could have had more meat in the sauce.
February 21, 2012
service was friendly and efficient. Food was great. Will definitely visit regularly!
February 17, 2012
Welcomed as we walked in the door and thanked as we left. Attractive menu, happy wait staff. Very good dining experience

It is disappointing to see other diners being served lemon cello and it is never offered to us. It would appear that servers play favorites
December 28, 2011
Loved the veal & shrimp tuscany dish -- the sauce was excellent and the veal was very tender.
December 28, 2011

Looking to have a family gathering for a brunch and would like to get prices. approximately 30 people.
November 1, 2011
Given our recent storm, it was a hectic evening for them, however, there is no excuse for poor service. The busboy spilled olive oil on my husbands' shirt sleeve, my steak (ordered rare) came out medium well, my son's gnocchi bolognase had meat sauce instead of bolognase. I will give them one more chance, but I will not have the waitress that served us wait on us as she was horrible. We waited for a very long time for her to acknowledge us, she rarely came back to check on us - my son had no drink for more than 10 minutes after we asked the busboy for a refill - he advised that he had to tell the waitress. She was so busy socializing with a table 2 down from us that we felt totally ignored. Not a good experience.
September 26, 2011
wondeful and friendly service
September 8, 2011
Pretty good restaurant overall.
September 5, 2011
We were there for our first wedding anniversary. Our server was extremely helpfur and the food was amazing. We can't wait to go again!!
August 17, 2011
I had the fettucione with red clam sauce - a favorite of mine at Tambascio's and my husband had the chicken special of the night and said it was only fair. Which means, he really didn't like it. I twas the first special on the list, with an Italian name that neither of us remembers, a garlic and something sauce and I think rigatoni.
August 5, 2011
I had eaten there earlier in the week and wanted to bring my boyfriend there for dinner. I was very disappointed this time. Service wasn't good, we waited for our salad for about 15 mins. than our dinner for about 1/2 hour. over cooked an expensive steak. didn't bring appt. i ordered. :(
August 4, 2011
Owner honored Gift Certificate regardless that I wasn't eating in (was bringing food for needy family). Great community outreach on his part. Food was fantastic and fed a family of 7 for $70 dollars.
August 4, 2011
Fantastic food and service as always!
August 3, 2011
So nice to have John T. stop by the table to say hello and thank us. The food is just as outstanding as the staff.
