Classic recipes served with the old days pomp, and new dishes with ingredients that mark very well the mixture of scents and compositions of the rich Italian gastronomy. If you are already a customer at Tartoni Ristorante, this is no news, but if you intend to explore it, prepare yourself to find a menu that will make your ordering decision almost impossible, since the great quantity of delights present in there.

    Besides using the Italian Barilla pasta, Maria Fernanda Tartoni, the chef, elaborates dense sauces with deep flavour. Curry and pepper, Latin America and Asia spices adept, the chef has another habit that pleases her customers: she goes to each of the tables to explain how the dish was made.
