    The food was delicious. My wife and I shared calamari that was perfectly fried. We both had the Waterzooi that is the signature dish. It is wonderful seafood stew. We ended the meal by sharing profiteroles. They were a perfect ending to a perfect dining experience. The waiter was attentive without being intrusive. Highly recommended. Caprice Bistro is one of our favorite restaurants in Wilmington.

    Tarantelli's is a 9.5 out of 10. This restaurant is absolutely amazing. The Food is 10 out of 10 and you will not be able to finish the meal. One plate will feed two people. My only issue was waiter interaction. Some of the waiters are not engaging. When you need them to help or order something else its hard to find them also it seems that some of the waiters are not social interactive people. When working in food service you need individuals who are lively and engage to make the customer feel right at home.

    Found this place on Instagram. Love the ambiance, atmosphere, and upstairs lounge area. Limited seating on a Saturday night so make reservations. Fajita quesadillas was amazing both in flavor and presentation. Acoustics are a little loud so keep that in mind on a date night.
