Tazzaria - Visalia

My wife and I go here as often as we can, which is not often enough with four kids at home. Our most recent visit, 10/10/14, was exceptional. First off, the food is always good. We sometimes come for a pot of tea served in a beautiful little tea pot and have pastries. Other times we come for a sandwich. Whatever the time or occasion we have never been disappointed. Today, however, something was different. As to the food, my wife said that she had THE BEST every sandwich. (She had a special pastrami sandwich. I also had a great sandwich, The Italian. Needless to say, this was the best experience of food we have had, here. But what set today apart from normal visits was the service. We felt taken care of from the moment we ordered to the moment we left. They were attentive, considerate and exceptionally kind. Thank you for yet another great experience. We appreciate all that you do. Larry

We spent 5 days in the opposite and ate here twice, because we loved it. we ordered many of the courts and loved all, but one that only liked. the salmon, garnel, ravioli app, calamari steak, beet salad. all were crowd friends. not sure why other reviews found mistakes with the vibe. as also noted, not many patrons, even at a weekend night. you can really create your own vibe, imo. price point could be why the dining room relatiw is empty. If you want a good meal with a fresh perspective on the aroma in a relaxed environment, this is a great place.

I hate to give only 3 stars, but after receiving the same terrible service time and time again, its the best I can honestly give. Tonight my husband and I showed up before the dinner rush but it still took wait staff forever to be seated and even longer to have someone take our order. I felt bad for our waitress who was running around trying to service almost every table while a 2nd waitress was just meandering about like she had all the time in the world, neither one of them providing the kind of service a restaurant like Tazzaria should really have. But again, its oar for the course here. I have never seen it staffed well. Great food is their only redeeming quality. We enjoyed the Seafood Pescatore and Angus aged Ribeye, but not enough to make the experience enjoyable. Also, they removed the Risotto from the menu. It was THE BEST! Mind blowing really. I'm very disappointed it's gone.

My food was gross. I think the barbecue sauce in my wrap was either rancid or there was too much vinegar in it. However, my husband was very happy with his turkey avocado sandwich, so we might give it another shot.

This is a Mexican-style restaurant that looks better than it tastes. Three of us dined together on a break from a convention in a nearby hotel. Two of us ordered a seafood stew; both of us felt that it was WAY too salty, and found the crab leg tough and stringy (my dining partner thought it was due to too many freeze/thaw cycles). Service was sort of detached. Decent salsa, chips, and beer selection made us feel a bit better.
