This is my favorite restaurant. I can honestly say that I have tried every dish on the menu and have not found one that I did not like. All the dishes, such as every sauce, soup, and salad dressing, are made from scratch daily. The refusal to be an 'open, heat, and serve' kind of restaurant definitely puts this place in a class of their own. Most dishes come in two sizes for those with smaller appetites. The dinners are a pretty good size so be prepared to take some home if you want. <br> The staff is wonderful and truly care about their customers. I think it great to watch them work together, supporting each other. Their teamwork truly shows their commitment to customer service. <br> If you like to be entertained while you eat, come in on a Friday night and sit on the patio. Bill is an excellent entertainer. The bar is the place to be if you want to watch sports while you dine. <br> Bring the kids. They will be spoiled, especailly if you sit in Tonya's section. <br> Come on to Tagliani's and give it a try. I do not think you will walk out disappointed. less

My absolute favorite Italian restaurant in my area.
This is one of those small, family owned, jewels that you always hear about, but can never find. Or when you do, it doesn't live up to expectations.
Believe me, this place will.
The atmosphere is calm and quiet, but not dark, the service is friendly and excellent. And the food...... absolutely FANTASTIC.
My wife loves their grilled Montebello mushrooms. They taste just like a tender filet mignon, piled high with fresh tomato, spices and feta cheese.
My favorite entree is the Shrimp Diavalo. A huge portion of tender shrimp, over fetuccini, with a wonderful spicy, but not TOO hot, red sauce. It's hard for me to try other dishes, because I know this is SO good.
It is a bit on the pricey side, but worth every penny (about 40-50 bucks for two) when you have a bit extra to spend. Wonderful dinner out alone for a busy mom and dad. Leave the kids with the sitter.
Trust me. Go find it. It's in the Cosco Plaza -- NE corner of 59th Ave and Bell Road. less
