Tarantino in East Lindsey

Restaurant with quality dishes and excellent service

Pretty good food, but it's fallen off a bit since the change of ownership. The atmosphere is more modernized, which is alright, but has the trade-off of feeling less homey. Waiting staff were slightly impatient and also not super attentive, but otherwise they're fine.

Great service, we were seated quickly, and drinks orders taken. Not long until food order taken. Drinks brought very quickly, we had a bottle of Sicilian white (super, very light) Food arrived very promptly. Delightfully tasty food. Large portions. Great value.

This was our second visit to Tarantino. Authentic Italian Restaurant in Skegness. My eldest daughter has been quite a few times with friends, and uses their takeaway service. On this visit, we had quite a wait for our orders being taken, and for our food order to arrive, but, as it is a very popular restaurant, we didn't mind the wait. Youngest daughter and I both had the Carbonara. Too much! We could have shared, but we were asked if we wanted our leftovers in a takeaway container, which we did. Eldest daughter had pork belly, and husband had lamb. Beautifully presented. Nice staff, and good ambience. Perfect for a celebratory meal for all the family. We will definitely return.

Had a Take Away last night of Fillet Steak, Veg, Potatoes and it was soooo good. Fresh food, cooked to perfection and good portions. In my opinion the best steak in Skegness and that's comparing it to two other good steak restaurants. Well done Tarantino's, you never disappoint 😊.

Me and my husband went there for a date night and the food was absolutely amazing. Best pasta I have ever had and I’ve had lots of creamy seafood pastas in my life. We ordered the bruschetta and calamari for starters and the linguine seafood pasta for Maine. Lovely chef and staff.

Just had a Take Away from here. Fillet Steak, Veg and potatoes. Fabulous quality and cooked to perfection. The Garlic Focaccia is sooo nice too. Hubby had Pollo Romana which came with a nice salad and really good chips.

We went in 2023 and it was so good we visited again this year while staying in Skegness We absolutely adore the salmon starter and the pizzas very nice too Staff attentive and don't think it's overly expensive considering the quality.

Fabulous. Food and service. Really enjoyed. Will definitely be back x

Mediocre. Staff were polite but constantly trying to take plates before finished. Food was bland, pizza bases were about the only thing that arrived as the pizza and even that was like dry bread. Restaurant was quite nice but definitely won't rush back.

Good area,food great freshly made and very hot and also plenty of it,certain things bit pricey but that is same most places now.

Never been disappointed here lovely food and good service.

One of best restaurants in Skegness very good portions.

First time eaters but won't be the last. Food was amazing and large portion size. Staff were excellent and very attentive. Even the price was good. House wine was nice all in all a brilliant night and can whole heartily recommend it. Superb

Excellent food and drink with Excellent service 👌. Great place to visit.Staff very helpful thankyou for a great night .

I was looking for a good place to eat for my birthday in Skegness. The place looks great from the outside. A nice cosy atmosphere, I ordered linguini which was great and the service was prompt.

Fantastic family restaurant great service nice food well worth a visit on your holiday

A great Italian restaurant serving pasta, pizza and steaks. Bar Car at the rear Large portions

Great booking system. Will try the food

Nice Italian restaurant in Skegness

Amazing amazing amazing 10/10 definitely will be back lovely food and lovely service keep it up

Not very impressed. It took an age to get served, and when it did come, we sent some back. Prices have gone up while the quantity has gone down since I last visited.

Visited a few weeks back excellent. So went again last week. What a difference, vegetables like concrete, undercooked belly pork cold, only edible thing mashed potato. Waitress cleared table never questioned the food not being eaten. Complete waste of money.

Excellent Food, Best Lasagne I have ever tasted in my life . Friendly staff, Great Value For Money. Highly recommend this restaurant.

Great food. Shame about service.

Absolutely lovely food and great service

Excellent the Italian food we have ever had

Always delicious food at Tarantinos, We always go here when visiting Skegness.

Went for meal with friends and did not disappoint. Real Italian food at a reasonable price. Meals are quite large so only had a main but the starters also looked delicious (also large). Garlic bread was the best I've ever tasted. Belissimo

Went during early evening on a hot summers day .. huge menu and selection.. pleasant atmosphere. The food was fresh and tasty . The bill came to a lot more than expected with service charges though...

Great food in a lovely setting. We love this place for food.

First time In Skegness, love Italian food so booked in. Portions are very generous, service professional and attentive. We boxed up our leftovers as were so full! Food was really, really good. I had a vegetarian tagliatelle, so good,kids had 'smaller' versions of what they wanted off the main menu, but very generous. Would definitely return if we lived closer, 5stars

Had a bad meal here about 2 years ago and have not been since. Going with friends we decided to give it another try. Very disappointing. 4/5 of us found the meal very lacking in taste . Very very bland and absolutely lacking any seasoning. The side salad was very nice.

We got meat balls & Tagliatelle Wife didn't like it hi did told one of the service people he didn't look Inpressed but we payed for it and my wife got a pizza I tasted it was not nice bland not at all nice wouldn't go here again and also no mozzarella in breadcrums and no bread or nibbles before you start your meal also peroni expensive

My mum and I had the pleasure of dining here during a recent stay. The food was so good, it will be a place to go back to when we visit again.

By far and away the best restaurant we've tried in Skegness. Excellent service with helpful staff. The food is great although the portions are a little on the large side :) not sure if that's a negative. But the food and drink were all very reasonably priced and we had a very enjoyable evening.

Having visited and loved this restaurant many times over the last few years we were looking forward to returning. I'm not sure if it under new ownership but it's not the warm welcoming place it used to be. The food was awful and when I discreetly tried to mention my steak was over cooked and tough to the waitress, all hell broke loose. We were shouted at by the chef, verbally abused by the waiting staff and I was called a liar by one of the waitresses. The attitude of the staff was totally appalling. Never in my life have I been made to feel as awful as this lot made me feel. Avoid this restaurant at all costs.

Food was great, staff friendly and portions were impressive.

Fantastic portion sizes and great tasting well cooked italian food. loved it.

Fantastic food and great service. Have dined there for the last 5 days and had a different delicious dish each night. Bravo.

Very good food and service, Salthouse the portions were rather large

We had high hopes for this restaurant after seeing all the amazing reviews but unfortunately we got disappointed quite quickly. The setting is quite nice but it got loud so quickly which is not restaurants fault but the people that were around us. We didn’t wait for food too long but if you’re going there for a steak i would strongly advise not to. My partner ordered a sirloin and said it was the worst steak he ever had and struggled to finish it. They brought his food with just chips and asked if he wanted a salad even though we already ordered one which is ok, the thing is he got the salad nearly at the end of his meal. We got served by like 3 different waiters and it just felt a bit disorganised if I’m being honest. Also saw the waiters carrying a lot of overcooked pizzas. The portions are big especially when it comes to pasta but like previous reviews said, they should focus on quality over quantity. We definitely wont be returning. Too expensive for service you get.

Very disappointed. Have been visiting this restaurant for over 10 years but sadly won't be returning. Poor service and food was average at best. Pizza like it was from a cheap takeaway

Decor looked lovely which intised us in. Thankfully they could slot us in as it was a busy. By just looking around the place, I ordered a Margherita pizza expecting a lovely wood fire pizza. I might as well have gone down the road to a cheap takeaway. Quality of the dough was just very sad. Waiters didn't ask how things were or if we needed anything. Sad times.

Drinks choice is terrible. House white or red wine poor no choice. My wife had prawns to start which when they came they were translucent. On informing the waitress they then came back and asked my wife what's wrong with them. If you can't tell if a prawn is cooked or not then you're in the wrong job. Cheap frozen like pizza was over cooked tasteless. I had fillet steak which was pretty poor. Overall.it was a rubbish meal which was supposed to be a treat. £100 spent and wasted.

Lovely little Italian place and great steaks say no more

Great place to eat, the food was so good. I would say the best Italian in the area.

My goodness. The portion sizes were three times the size of other restaurants I've visited, and I've frequented a few 😆 My appetite is big, and I couldn't finish my main. Absolutely brilliant value for money. Great atmosphere, friendly staff and delicious traditional food. Fantastico!

Had a lovely meal here with my husband. The portions are big & are excellent. The food is cooked fresh & served quickly. We had the chefs special pizza & seafood linguine pasta. Absolutely delicious! The staff are friendly & the service they provide is really good. We would definitely go again if in the area.

Nice place but we found it too noise, which can’t be helped as it’s family friendly during the school holidays. Pastas were fine portions were big. We ordered the Italian pizza special , we recommend less toppings as the flavour was compromised by it being very overpowering. We think there was truffle oil on the pizza which pooled in the middle and gave a very strong almost chemically taste. This isn’t a relaxing meal or date location but is good for families. Service was good and prices were good.

Starters were very good , then i chose sirloin with chips n salad wife had sea food pasta..with garlic foccacia. Wife said hers was best pasta she'd had in skegness area ( i tried was very nice) my steak was bang average and in all honesty wasnt a patch on san ruffos steak which are 1 of the best iv tasted, oh no salad came out with the steak but wasnt a major problem for me .

Very impressed with this restaurant great food and service no wonder its busy. 100% reccomend and looking forward to returning

Lovely food massive portions. Really enjoyed the meal

Really nice restaurant. We stayed for 2 nights in Skegness and liked it here so much the first night, we ate here again the following night too. Really tasty food, nice portions and staff were all friendly. It was busy on the Saturday night but with food this good I'm not surprised. We didn't have to wait long for our food though. Highly recommend this place if you're looking for somewhere to eat

Fantastic restaurant, we had a great meal here. Amazing service, so much choice, wonderful food and huge portions. A must if you are in Skegness.

Visited several times now, always top notch food whole family loves it here!

Great food and exceptional authentic service. Been back this year, it's even better.

Lovely food and really big portions. Mo starter next time so I can do the main justice

This restaurant is lovely, the food is fresh with big portions! However, we were extremely disappointed by how we were treated by a member of staff, who we believe to be the manager. His attitude towards us was extremely unfriendly and upon asking for the bill, he proceeded to say ‘you can pay at the bar’ but then brought the card reader out to the table behind us. We also saw other tables getting their leftovers boxed us, so we asked for this too and he made a comment, which seemed like it was too much trouble. As two young girls, we felt judged and frowned up. This was not the same treatment as the surrounding other tables. We felt singled out, as no one else seemed to treated this way. The two young female waiters were lovely, but this really put a downer on our experience!

Comfortable, well run restaurant with typical Italian menu. Service was good, portions were large, wine was good too, we enjoyed our evening and felt it was good VFM. Down to personal preference but we did think the flavours could have been ramped up on a few dishes, however. I had the calamari which comes with a wasabi mayo but the wasabi element was virtually undetectable. Then the penne Romana, which says it has some chilli in it but again it was hard to pick that out.

A WONDERFUL 50th Anniversary meal. Excellent food and incredible value too, no searching for food at Tarantino's, the servings are generous and great quality. Attentive and polite customer facing staff, and I FULLY RECOMMENT THIS EXCELLENT RESTAURANT. In 1974 we had our Honeymoon in Skegness and last weekend was our 50th Anniversary so we decided to replicate that wonderful time.

Another lovely meal at this fabulous restaurant. Chloe, Ettore and the rest of the staff are knowledgeable, friendly and attentive. The food was excellant and the seafood cooked to perfection. Thank you We will be back, see you soon

Amazing spot, great food and price

Wonderful meal. Visited on a Monday night taking a chance without having booked. Were were welcomed in straight away and made to feel very welcome. Had the antipasto and shared that, more than enough for two. Then the main event, the rigatoni and twelve inch pizza, enough for four people so we ended up taking the majority of the pizza home. The food was absolutely superb. Thank you Tarantino's for a wonderful meal, worth every penny👍

Fantastic food & and gluten-free friendly. We have been here a few times. it's our go-to place to dine as we know we are going to get great service. Friendly staff. And great food....last night, didn't disappoint!! Mussels and sauce tasted great... we all had different mains and we all enjoyed them. Portions are large and great quality. 100 percent recommend and will visit again soon.

Went with family for a meal on Saturday night .Food was amazing

Food was mid, atmosphere is good, and service was good

After reading the great reviews, we booked this restaurant to celebrate our 52nd wedding anniversary, we were not disappointed. From the lovely greeting at the door to the service of the staff the food and drinks. The whole evening was delightful. I had read the food portions were huge, and shared this with my husband, did he listen, No. He chose a starter, whilst I had a bowl of sharing olives. The food was divine, we had a pasta dish and I chose the risotto, both were lovely.

My go to for Italian always happy to serve even late at night

This place is so amazing ! Staff are so polite and helpful, the food is really tasty we had the King Prawn Pasta and Pizza and both me and my partner really enjoyed it. The atmosphere is very romantic and relaxed. Highly recommend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The food was ok - risotto, chips and a sea bass dish. Chips were a bit overcooked and oily. Sauce with sea bass was a plain tomato sauce. It looks like it's very dish dependent based on other reviews and photos - perhaps sick to the pasta. Pizzas that other dinners had didn't look too enticing. The table water bottle had black mould around the inner rubber seal. Waitresses were pleasant and polite but had to wait a while to be served and to pay (went to bar in the end after waiting).

The food is always amazing the staff are lovely I will be returning throughout the summer

Lovely restaurant. Always super busy, so book well in advance.

Managed to fit us in at short notice. Our meals were superb. Decent portions, fresh and appetising. Good service, friendly and professional. Great meal at a great price. Would absolutely recommend this resteraunt.

Absolutely delicious. I had the chicken cremosa, hubby had Ingles pizza. Good portions with a good bottle of Rose. Will definitely be back. Best restaurant in Skegness. Go there!!

We ate here one evening after arriving at the Premier Inn to find their restaurant had closed. The local staff both recommended it to us. I had lasagna and the pesto garlic bread and it was really tasty and I'd definitely recommend it. The house red wine was a great choice too. The service was good and the restaurant atmosphere was nice and a modern decoration. Definitely recommend it if you're visiting Skegness and don't want takeaway food or your standard pub grub. It was a bit off the usual track and I wouldn't have found it without the local recommendation.

Great service, great staff food was delicious and the price was good 👍

Absolutely beautiful food . Authentic Italian.One of the best foods we ever had.

Had the meatball pizza and it’s the best pizza I’ve had

Food was fabulous, great service, definitely worth a visit.

Honestly the best meal I’ve had in some time. Service was unreal. Waitresses had a good laugh with us. Everything perfect. We’ll definitely be back. Some pics of our unreal food.

Attended last night , staff shocking rude food ok but the staff let the place down , much better places in skegness ,

Excellent service and interaction with us . Fitted us in at short notice Food outstanding Thank You

Excellent food, friendly staff, very reasonably priced.

Visited on a busy Saturday night but had booked the previous night. Arrived but had to wait for our table not really a problem as it was well worth the wait. Tomato and basil soup was delicious as also was the chicken Romana with vegetables. My husband had soup also then a Romana pizza that was very tasty. Great restaurant and quite reasonably priced. Will definitely visit again

The food was great. I ordered a ribeye which tasted great. It was well worth the 2 hour drive to get there.

Very good food, reasonable prices, nice service.

Such an amazing find. Food was fantastic and excellent service. The mushroom starter and the seafood pasta was delicious. Including 2 large glasses of wine for £37. Will be back again.

This is a lovely restaurant. Service was excellent throughout. Owner welcomed us at the door . Order was taken promptly and the food followed in a timely manner. All of us were delighted with the quality and quantity. They even ordered us a taxi home! Wishing you continued success.Thank you for a lovely evening

What a nice find , excellent food and service but couldn’t believe the price £18 for a starter and main to full after that to even manage a pudding.Had to try a nice bottle of red £28 to accompany the excellent food very nice 👌

Fantastic food. Very generous portions. Italian food is never the cheapest option but we think our meals were very reasonably priced. Best Italian restaurant we have visited.

Lovely food was delicious and the portion sizes are not small. The staff are all lovely and friendly

We returned to the Tarantino's on a busy Bank Holiday weekend. A short wait before ordering due to the volume of orders. The chicken Thermador was good but the Risotto chicken and mushroom was poor and not eaten - tasteless. We politely informed the staff and we received a £3 reduction (original cost £12.90) for this dish! Not our best visit here.

We went to Tarentino,s with friends on my birthday yesterday 2nd may the food was Amazing the portions are so large I could not eat all mine The house wine was really nice highly recommend would definitely go again

Excellent food and service. It was so good on our first visit that we booked for the following night.

Top top class food and service, can't recommend highly enough

Was impressed and they cater for my allegies (gf)

One of the best restaurants in Skegness,highly recommend 👌👌

Wouldn’t recommend at all, come here regarding a recommendation for a date night with my partner, placed next to a family celebrating a birthday which was fine, until children throwing balloons whilst eating ruined my whole experience told the staff they had no control of the situation and clearly have no consideration for other paying customers, we also waited 50 minutes in between a starter and main.

Just had an amazing meal here. Very busy and the staff friendly. And the service was quick We recommend the meat balls wow tasty and filling. If you are in skegness go you will not be disappointed. Thank you to all the staff and especially the chef
