If you poked your head in the kitchen of Osteria Applausi any day this past summer, you would have seen a very familiar site to the restaurant – Maria Marchetti handmaking fresh pasta. Actually, this isn’t just a summer-time occurrence at the Old Greenwich restaurant. Maria personally makes pasta every day of the year (except Sundays) for all of the
Marchetti – Tarantino family restaurants, which also includes Tarantino Restaurant and Bar in Westport and Columbus Park Trattoria in Stamford. The Marchetti-Tarantino family hails from Gravina in Puglia in southern Italy. Everything about their restaurant is executed with this background in mind.
