Tarantella, a long-standing restaurant in Weston-super-Mare, has been a beloved culinary fixture for nearly three decades. Established by Italian Franco Rinaldi in the late 1990s, the restaurant has continued to thrive under his family’s management even after his passing in 2013.
Maintaining a modern look with blue neon lighting, black and white photos of Sophia Loren, and well-spaced tables, Tarantella exudes a warm and inviting ambiance. While some patrons found the lighting slightly dim, the restaurant remains a popular choice, often fully booked on weekend evenings.
The menu boasts a wide selection of classic trattoria favorites, including various pasta, pizza, and main dish options like wild salmon with creamy spinach and veal escalope with caponata. Notably, the restaurant is also known for its sizzling steaks and Neapolitan-style pizzas, with generous portions that ensure a satisfying dining experience.
