A few common questions

Before you come in.

Do you take walk-ins?

Yes, especially at the bar — sitting at the bar with a view of the open kitchen is one of our favorite ways to experience Tartuca. For a dining room table, particularly on weekends, we recommend a reservation.

What if I have a food allergy?

Please note allergies in the comments of your reservation request, and remind your server when you sit down. Because the menu is seasonal and made from scratch, our team can usually accommodate or suggest substitutions.

Is the patio open year-round?

The enclosed outdoor patio is open seasonally. If you'd like patio seating, mention it when you reserve and we'll let you know what's available that evening.

How does private dining work?

We host private dinners for larger parties and full buyouts of the room. Send a note with your date, headcount, and a few details about the occasion to tartucapdx@gmail.com and we'll respond with options, pricing, and a sample menu.

Can I bring my own wine?

Our list is built around old-world Italian wines chosen to drink with the menu, and we'd love to pour for you. For special occasions and corkage questions, give us a call.

One last thing

"Your weekly neighborhood Italian spot."

We're glad you're thinking of us. See you on Mississippi.
