Named for the Tarantella, the emblematic wedding dance of southern Italy, Taranta, blends Southern Italian and Peruvian cuisine, an exciting new dimension to the heavily Italian North End. Chef-owner Jose Duarte's unique brand of fusion has made reviewers swoon and customers come back again and again.

Located in a comfortable and cozy brick storefront building, Taranta is unexpectedly spacious with seating for 70 on three floors overlooking Hanover street, as well as plenty of space for private parties and large groups - including popular, by appointment cooking classes.
