Tarantini Ristorante Pizzeria

It's a focaccia with cheese & tomato, not a pizza!

We ordered Margherita and Quattro formaggi, and got a very thin crusty dough with very little cheese and sauce. It felt more like focaccia rather than pizza!

We used to be regulars at the old place, but the new management doesn't seem to make the venue any better.

Unfortunately, I don't think we will be returning.

The best pizza I've had in Melbourne:) Seafood pasta is also very delicious with quite a lot of big& small prawns, clams, etc. The best part is that all staff are very friendly and welcoming. Will definitely come back!

Spaghetti ragu Bolognese was superb. Very authentic in flavours, pasta was Al dente, and flavours were balanced. So delicious we ordered another pasta dish. Pizza was also woodfired oven - thin and crispy with great texture and flavour. Well probably come back here as a staple on the future.

Enrico and His wife as a wonderful food and very welcoming staff, pizza pasta dessert and more whit tagliere di salumi e formaggi, I feel like goin back to Italy, in a local trattoria, warm & welcoming food, local quality ingredients, dessert made on the spot ️ Friarielli pizza the best for me
Tiramisu excellent thanks for the hospitality we definitely raccomend this restaurant

Went tonight for the first time with family. Beautiful service, super attentive from the lovely staff. Fantastic pizzas, gorgeous pasta and the chips were perfect. Brilliant all round. 5 stars from all the family

Real Italians hence Real Italian Food & Drinks. They only source ingredients from italian suppliers. We tried the gnocci del monte, napoli pasta, amatriciana pasta and the woodfired del monte pizza.all were absolutely delicious and authentic with impeccable hospitality. We felt like we were back in Italy, it was certainly a delightful lunch, a sincere thank you to Enrique and Jo for spoiling us today. We will be back soon.

Great restaurant with a cosy casual, but intimate vibe. Staff are attentive and helpful. Food is great. Loved the truffle pizza, and del monte house pasta!

Friendly & Fantastic service, delicious pizza and highly rate the fresh seafood marina spaghetti! The lovely folks here squeezed in our group of 8 for a family dinner, we will absolutely be back.

Whilst I love this place I don't want all you internet people to find it and over crowd it!

Amazing pizzas and cute family - I'd come here every day if my life wasn't a daily struggle against obesity.

What a beautiful family-run restaurant. You know you can get authentic Italian pizza here, but you’d never guess that you’d get the whole experience. The owners are some of the kindest people you’ll ever meet, and they make you feel like family.

The food is excellent. Doesn’t really need to be said. This is the kind of restaurant you visit when you need to eat great food. It helps that the whole experience feels like a nice, warm hug.

Fantastic wood fired pizza and wonderful service. We went as a group and had an exceptional experience, staff were so happy to host us and accomodating. We will certainly be returning 11/10!

This restaurant is amazing! My partner and I only wish we found it sooner. I'd highly recommend the woodfire pizzas.the base was phenomenal. The atmosphere is a very welcoming family environment, we were even gifted some home made Jam. We left with the biggest smiles on our faces: D

Tarantini makes the real romana pizza. Thin and delicious! Best pizza in Melbourne. Thank you guys!

Beautiful, delicious and savoury. Authentic Italian with a lovely atmosphere. The people who work here are so gentle and welcoming, especially the beautiful waitress, Lydia who served and somehow remembered seeing me at The Mediterranean 2 weeks ago.

The hot chocolate is also really good and not too sweet. Just the way I like it.

Finally I had the opportunity to eat a real authentic (thin!) Italian woodfire pizza! Pizza is amazing and the staff is super friendly and lovely. I cannot wait to come back. You guys made me feel at home. Thank you!

Always excellent service! Best pizza in town without a doubt

Me and a friend have been going here for years and the food seems to always get better. I would highly recommend it to anyone! The staff are great too

I'm here every Wednesday. I'm not a local to Clifton Hill but when I stumbled across this gem I think it may be worth to move to this side of town, as the pizza here and the lovely chefs and waiters are like friends after the first 'ciao' I would highly recommend the capricosa pizza. Bon appetito‍

Wow. Calzone margarita. Doughy.cheesy.flavor bomb. If you love a pizza that has lots of toppings vs sparse.this is your place. Still that traditional style where its skinny base.but thick and chewy crust.all pizzas $15.amazing value and no compromise on the quality here. Fully deserve 5 stars. Loved it.

Best pizza place ever, greatest service ever especially rose, Fabio and Francesco - basically family! Could not recommend more!

We had such a nice night here - was here with my mate and we ordered the parmigiana pizza: it was great and such friendly service we felt very at home! Even tried to practice some of my Italian will be back
