    Always check out the specials first…. Tambascio’s does delicious seafood dishes. I especially like the salmon on lightly sautéed spinach and garlic. The steak is of extremely good quality and cooked just as you’d like it. Comfortable atmosphere in this small gem and very nice in the atrium. Small salad to go with entree is a nice addition to menu choices. Staff is wonderful. Great to see John and have enlightened conversation. A friendly location we like to frequent.

    We go to Tambascios often, The food and service is always excellent. It is a terrific family restaurant! The owner John always stops by to say hello and see if everything is satisfactory. For the value and the food and the service, you can't find a nicer place to dine at.

    Would have been better but we had obnoxious people sitting next to us, just kept giving the server a hard time. Restaurant has no control of people who walk in the door.

    Tambascios is our favorite local restaurant Although we had reserve , a week in advance, a specific table, I was disappointed when I found out that the table was occupied when we arrived. The serving staff may not be accustomed with the table reservations system. Food was excellent but mashed potatoes was only lukewarm

    We had pizza on our minds and were drawn to Tambascios for their NewYork style pies. My son’s school uses them for a standing Pizza Tuesday that is a fund raiser for their 8th grade. They have a reputation of excellence and we were not misled. Thanks again from appreciative father, his son and my son’s best friend.
