Pasta quality was perfect; just wish servings were a bit larger for the price. Would definitely recommend getting the meatballs. Great ambiance, and I saw a couple walk ins on a Saturday night that were sat pretty quickly. I’ll be back.

My daughter and I had reservations for 2100 Thursday night and from the time we walked in to when we left the entire experience was amazing. We were anxious to try the Tapear Tapearei menu and had an incredible dining experience. Every dish was delicious and beautifully plated from start to finish. Since neither of us are big alcohol drinkers we were allowed to split the wine flight pairings without having too much but could experience the flavor pairings which enhanced the experience. An extra star for our servers Stacy and a man that sadly I didn't catch his name. The explanation of the dishes and the anecdotes about the dishes was an added enhancement. Highly recommended.

Very interesting menu, most of it tasted excellent but was a bit pricy. Portions are all the smaller side, great for tapas style eating with a small group. Was a bit on the noisy side.
