After having Tallula on our list for the longest time, we finally made it—and on Valentine’s Day, no less. The perfect setting for a romantic night, with a menu that was as creative as it was sensual. Every dish was flawless, from the tender beef cheek with smoked carrots to the beautifully balanced hamachi crudo and two outstanding pasta dishes. The squid ink pasta, in particular, was one of the best I’ve ever had. Each bite was elevated by a thoughtful selection of unique, curated wines. Can’t wait to return for their regular menu! Lovely friendly staff!

Had 5 choose tasting menu for 96 Bread (4/5) was 7. A bit surprised it's not complimentary. Focaccia is very good sourdough is good as well. Herb butter is great Scallop crudo 5/5 great flavor. Scallop is very fresh Chilled lobster 5/5 lobster is very fresh and great flavor Carmelle 5/5 great flavor pasta is cooked perfectly Rabbit loin 7/5 the flavors were so savory. This should be their signature dish Chocolate cake 3.5/5. Dessert was good, but nothing special, especially compared to the other dishes. I feel I could get the same thing at most restaurants and get three times the amount at the same price. Vibe was if trader Joe's opened a fine dining restaurant. This is a compliment. Service is brisk, but friendly. Overall 5/5 would highly recommend. Will come again when tasting menu changes up. Or maybe order a la carte

What an incredible dining experience! Talulla will leave your palette wanting more after experiencing sensational flavors, food composition, restaurant milieu, and the visual beauty of each dish, that is at the heart of Talullas chef and team. The wine list is carefully and creatively curated and from the moment you walk in, this small inviting quaint beautiful space will make you feel like you’re experiencing something different. The house made bread was delicious with a delightful crunch on the crust. We loved the scallop appetizer, ravioli, and beet salad. Everything on the menu looked and sounded amazing and it’s no wonder this restaurants chef is in the running for a James Beard Award and recognition. If you’re lucky enough to get a reservation, definitely check out this place - the food is out of this world!

Went here for our anniversary, and it was an overall amazing experience! We had a bit of a delay getting to our table, but everyone was apologetic and got us a drink while we waited. The food was amazing, and the server helped arrange the meals we ordered (two pastas and a main, one of the pastas was a cold dish) into two courses. We wanted to try the banana cake from the tasting menu as a dessert, and they were able to make that happen. All-in-all, an amazing experience both in food and service, and would love to go back!

This was such a cute little place that I discovered before going to a show at the Regent Theater with my fiance and future mother-in-law! The food was absolutely delicious, made with such fresh ingredients and care by the chef. The Chilled Strawberry Soup was another level that I have never tasted anything like it before and the pickled cherries in our stone fruit appetizer were a delight and I will try to replicate these at home! Main courses were all superb from the ravioli, pork shoulder and bluefish you really cannot go wrong! Excellent wine menu with the perfect suggestions to pair with our dinner! Don’t forget to have their homemade sour dough bread as well! We ran out of time for dessert as we took our time enjoying dinner and the delicious artisanal drinks but will be back to try these soon!

Talulla restaurant sits in a quiet neighborhood, and at first, I thought we were going the wrong way. It was a warm evening, so we sat outside. We chose their set menu, and it turned out to be a good decision. We began with the spicy scallop dish, which was nicely balanced by the rich foie gras on brioche that came next. The ravioli portion was big, and it had both smoky and tangy flavors. The ribeye steak was outstanding, especially its crispy crust. We finished our meal with the intense panna cotta dessert. The service was friendly and not pushy. Now, about the prices – dining in Boston can be expensive, but Talulla's set menu is one of the more affordable options we've found. We paid about 270 for two set menus, two cocktails, and a big bread basket, which was quite generous. In short, I highly recommend Talulla for a great dining experience in Boston. You'll get delicious food, friendly service, and reasonable prices in a cozy setting.

We hosted our wedding dinner and ceremony at Tallula. Danielle, Connor, and their team made everything easy. They were able to take a credit card deposit over the phone. About 30 days before the event, we coordinated to finalize the menu and seating arrangements. They were able to make a few adjustments and special additions based off of our feedback. The day of was easy! We dropped off a few items for the Tallula staff to set up and the day went off without a hitch. The food was well made, delicious and the servers were attentive but not disruptive. Thank you!
