Dear Guest:
Taranta turned 20 years old last month. My wife and I opened this business as a wedding present to each other and to us it is our first child. We have been a part of an amazing community, creating memorable experiences and sharing our sustainability efforts. As many of you know, the last 4 months have been very challenging and difficult for us. Many restaurants in the North End rely heavily on tourism, sporting events, concerts, conventions, and our location has lost all of our corporate business, functions and graduations, operating at 30% of its capacity due to seating restrictions. Without all of this we cannot survive. Since March, our liabilities have accumulated to more than we can sustain and unfortunately we were not able to reach an agreement with our landlord to make things work. Sadly, we will be closing Taranta’s physical location but we will keep our concept virtually alive, by doing pop ups, catering, classes, and online merchandising. We will be open from Thursday through Sunday for the next 2 weeks and we will permanently close our physical location on August 29th.We thank everyone for their continuing support and hope to see you when we come back and reopen somewhere else within a year or so. We are working on developing our partnership with the
Santa Cruz Lodge in Peru to offer Gastronomic Adventures. In the meantime you could visit our new Restaurant ~
Tambo 22 in Chelsea and
Trattoria San Pietro in Norwell.
Stay safe, healthy and take care of each other,
Jose and Anna Duarte and the entire Taranta Team
