Talia’s Tuscan Table, Deli, Pizza, Pasta, Catering, Dine In, Take Out, Restaurant, Review, Boca Raton, Florida…Nice!
Did I forget to say, that everything is homemade? The mozzarella, the ciabatta bread, and cannoli. The prices are so reasonable, the friendly atmosphere, smiles, and music are free!!
Word of mouth…don’t you love it? Andrew took Brenda, who back in October told me. Now I am passing the word on to you. Plenty of places to eat in South Florida. Everyone knows that. Some of them, stand out. And, this is one of them.
Talia’s Tuscan Table is located at 4070 N. Dixie Hwy., Boca Raton, Florida. Tel. 561-362-0874. Website? http://www.taliastable.com. You can also check it on Facebook, where you can see other commentaries and check what specials they are offering. Talia’s opens at 11:30 a.m. until 8:30 p.m. Closed on Sundays.
I drove south from Delray on Federal Highway, took a right on Spanish River and then a right on Dixie. The restaurant is in a small strip shopping center, right as you make the right turn. You cannot miss it.
Like I was saying…the music was playing and you could tell the customers were regulars; the usual suspects. I decided to talk to some of them and you could tell they meant it when they said the food was delicious.
Frankie said…have a menu, you don’t have to look at the walls. There were menus on the walls. Frankie is a part owner, Danny is the other owner.
I asked Frankie…if this is a customer’s first time…what would you recommend? What would be the dish that will hook you? No hesitation there. The Bronx Bomber and the Michelanglo he said. Bring it on, that’s what I want, I said.
Talia’s is a restaurant that is very casual, you can dine in, sit on either table outside, or take out, like I did.
The music got a little louder and Frankie was smiling…Nice!
OMG, a sandwich was coming out of the kitchen. It was called the Galileo Cheese Steak with roast beef, cheddar, onion, lettuce, tomato and Russian dressing. If mine were that huge I was going to be in trouble. Calories out the window, for sure.
Have some bread, Frankie said as he place a place full of garlic ciabatta bread with a wonderful smell and so warm.
How about some mozzarella? They make their own. Put it on the bread. I obliged.
Next sandwich coming out of the kitchen was the Fermi. Portabella, roasted peppers, tuscan beans and organic lettuce. It was the only sandwich on the menu that said it contained 195 calories. I was not counting calories, that’s for sure.
The customers let me take the pictures. You could tell they really loved Talia’s. Some of them were known by their first names.
A Citrus Seafood Salad came out of the kitchen…looked very nice!!
Frankie said…do you like cannolis….is the Pope Catholic? Two cannolis to go on the house. Drink on the house, as well.
My bag carrying the sandwiches was heavy with 2 hefty sandwiches. They said “adios” and off I went.
Each of the sandwiches could have, definitely, fed 2 people. They were truly amazing. Here is what they were:
The Michelanglo with herb chicken cutlet, eggplant, mozzarella and roasted peppers. The chicken cutlet was thin and perfectly breaded, a perfect pair to the rest of the ingredients.
Frankie had asked me if I liked hot peppers….bring it on. The next one was the Bronx Bomber. This one had salami, capicolla, mortadella, ham, provolone and hot peppers. Another winner!! Very very Nice!!
Please note that wine and beer are available at Talia’s.
Thanks to Frankie for his suggestions and to Brenda for showing me the way.
Have a good one!!
