In 1970, childhood friends Tom J. Caldarera, Jr. and James J. Cadelli turned to a love they both knew well; good authentic Italian food. With guidance & advice from their Italian mothers, Concetta & Lola, family recipes were used to became the foundation of the newly formed family restaurant. Over three generations of the families have spent hours in the kitchen perfecting sauces & pastas. They are still made fresh daily to ensure a memorable dining experience. The restaurant has received numerous accolades & awards from local, state, & regional magazines & newspapers. Today the tradition continues to evolve with the involvement of the 4th generation of the Caldarera family working at the restaurant making it a true family affair.

The staff was very friendly and acknowledged all food allergies as well. It was wonderful to see that they cared. The food was amazing! I had the spinach and ravioli. It wasn’t as big of a plate as I expected in an Italian restaurant, but I still needed to take some home. The house itself is very old and filled with a lot of history…we could tell from the moment we pulled into the driveway that we weren’t going to be “eating alone.” That was confirmed after speaking with the staff and hearing about frequent sightings. We even saw physical evidence from a video on the staff’s cell phone. We saw nothing, but we could tell we were being watched from a distance. The atmosphere was nice, but a bit creepy at first. Ghost Hunters should come here, it’d be cool to know more about the families that lived here prior to it becoming a restaurant. It’d also get the restaurant some well-deserved customers…the food was absolutely wonderful!

Everything was wonderful from appetizers to desserts! Great place to plan a party or gathering too! Gorgeous location and will definitely go back! Be sure that when you arrive you are not in a hurry. They do courses so sit and enjoy!

Excellent food. Good service. We just stopped in, no reservation, and they got us seated. The chicken picatta was great, my wife had the combination and loved it. Daughter ate the spaghetti and filled up.
Highly recommended.

We drove an hour and a half to try Talianos. We got there when they opened and it didn’t take long to get busy. The food was tasty and plentiful and the service was excellent. We will go back. Reservations recommended

My new favorite restaurant in town. Hands down the best pasta dish …maybe EVER, but certainly from a restaurant. The only part of the meal that was disappointing was the bread /oil served with the meal. The bread was decent but the oil was a bit stale. Otherwise though, this was the most amazingly delicious romantic date night meal. I mean the restaurant itself is so freaking adorable. We came in an hour before close and had the place to ourselves. Our server was phenomenal and kept us happy and well informed on all our choices She didn’t even give us an attitude for sharing the entree (they brought it out in two dishes for us!), or not ordering drinks. The house made ranch dressing was so good. The fried raviolis were outstanding. The ricotta cheesecake was everything. ✨
Cannot wait to go back again.

Intimate atmosphere with great service and a delicious menu. Came in on a Thursday evening and was able to get a same-day reservation for a small party, but all the tables were full at peak times so you’ll probably need to call ahead!

Taliano’s service is outstanding and we loved our food. Such a good place for date night! The decor is lovely and inviting. We both got raviolis and they were great! I would recommend the spinach ravioli the most! We also loved the wine. We also got tiramisu and it was delicious.

The food looked presentable and tasted “okay” in flavor. However, sisters steak had lots of gristle and my wifes chicken was cold. Lasagna was pretty good, potatoes oiley, and green beans were sub-par.
Though the server was good at his job, he switched out deserts since they were out of said ingredients, for something else without telling prior. The “surprise” desert was lacking.
The building for this establishment had some holes in the cealing with insulation draping out.
At around a whopping 30$ a person, you can find many other locations with better flavor, selection, and quantities.
There are alot of elderly that eat here, which is fine because old age means they can’t tastr much anywaus.
It wasn’t bad, but I best described them as “1 & done”.
