Absolutely the WORST "Italian" restaurant EVER. I came out to AR on a business trip and went to Taliano's because it was touted as a fine dining, "authentic," 5-star place. Boy, was I in for a huge disappointment.
The only redeeming trait about this place is the cute, home-like structure on the outside and the cute, cozy ambiance inside.
The menu looked promising, but that's where the positives stopped. My review of the food:
Spinach dip: disgusting frozen spinach that was thawed and heated with bland mozzarella cheese on top. No seasoning or creative spin on this sad, sad dish.
Chicken tortellini soup: horrible! Just clear broth with 3 pcs of small tortellini (filling tasted like bad, mushed up hotdog meat) with crust that was too thick.
Calamari: No wonder this was only $5: you get about 5 pcs!
Ravioli: Pasta crust was disgustingly thick, like a 1/4" on each side. The stuffing was just awful.
Chicken Marsala: Horrible mushy fried chicken strip with nasty secret sauce.
Cannelloni: bland.
Bread: plain, barely warm when served.
The service was SLOOOOOOW, too. I would NEVER EVER go back nor recommend this to anyone I know for fear of being chased with torches and sticks. Trust me, you're MUCH better off at the Olive Garden.
