TARANTELLA'S
RISTORANTE
Located in Clark,
Tarantella’s Ristorante has been serving up Italian and
adapted American classics for more than 10 years. For
the past seven years, Chef Michael Pastor has been
pleasing his clientele with favorites like Pasta
Arrabiata and Chicken Giambotta. The pasta, an Italian
staple, is filled to overflowing with Prosciutto,
scallions, Portobello mushrooms, hot peppers, tomatoes,
and garlic. Not overly spicy, but just piquant enough to
push the flavors over the edge. The chicken, another of
the house specialties, is golden brown tenders with
fried potatoes, peppers, onions, and mushrooms. Hot
peppers can be added to order. All of the soups are
homemade and extremely Italian. The Pasta Fagiole and
the ubiquitous Minestrone are chock full of groceries
and rich stock. In addition to the sauté items,
Tarantella’s
offers a full pizza menu with individual or 18” pies.
You can choose from their abundant list of house pizzas,
such as Traditional, Classico, Vegetable, Fra Diavolo,
Picante, Pinwheel, Florentine and more. If you have a
preference, you can build your own, with a whole wheat
crust offered for the carb-conscious eater. Calzones
stuffed to the bursting point are on the menus as well.
A children’s menu is available for those picky little
humans in your family. The dessert menu contains all of
the Italian favorites: Spumoni, Tortoni, Tortufo,
Tiramisu, Cannoli, rice pudding, and an assortment of
sorbets to cleanse the palate. If desserts aren’t your
style, you can finish your experience with a hot cup of
chocolate, mochaccino, or a café latte; perfect for the
upcoming cold winter nights.
Chef Michael and his
staff recommend reservations for parties of eight or
more. They accept all major credit cards during their
operating hours of 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Sunday through
Thursday and 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. Friday and Saturday. A
full bar is on premises that can accommodate all of your
libational needs.

PROSPECT
“Laugh Loudly, Love
Deeply, Eat Well”
Amidst all the
construction on Prospect Street in downtown Westfield,
number 16 (formerly the Northside Trattoria) has
recently undergone renovations, as well as a name
change. But patrons need not worry – the superb
contemporary Italian cuisine remains the same, if not
even better. Just a taste of the many delectable menu
offerings, include: a fresh mozzarella salad served over
a bed of romaine lettuce, topped with fresh Jersey
tomatoes, and pignoli nuts; grilled chicken with sun
dried tomatoes served in a home made pesto cream sauce;
Shrimp Arrabiata (Angry Shrimp) served with penne in a
garlicky tomato ragout, topped with shaved Pecorino
Romano.
The excellent food at 16
Prospect is rivaled only by the cozy ambiance in both
the candlelit dining room and the newly expanded bar.
Owners (and brothers) Timothy and Christopher Boyle,
bring classic culinary training and over 20 years of
international experience to their venue, which has been
serving Union County residents for over ten years. Their
attention to detail, real pride in their establishment,
and appreciation of their customers is evident now more
than ever. The personally selected, handcrafted
interior architecture, live jazz (six nights a week) and
full bar offering an eclectic selection of wine, beer
and spirits, make them stand out amidst the countless
other eateries in the neighborhood.
Whether you looking for a
romantic meal or a relaxing after work drink, 16
Prospect is a delicious option.
