I’ll be honest. I walked into Tarantino’s Vegan Italian as a skeptic and left completely converted. This family-run spot on Rainbow Boulevard is doing something I didn’t expect: creating plant-based Italian dishes so convincing that your carnivore friends will question what they’re eating.
What Makes Tarantino’s Different
This isn’t your typical vegan restaurant serving predictable salads and sad veggie burgers. Tarantino’s earned a spot on Yelp’s Top 10 Vegan Restaurants in the US for 2024, and after one bite of their Steak Béarnaise, you’ll get why. The texture. The sear. The way it pairs with creamy mashed potatoes and fresh asparagus. It’s scary realistic.
Everything here is made from scratch using fresh organic ingredients. The kitchen is 100% plant-based, cholesterol-free, and seed-oil-free. They’ve also built out an extensive gluten-free menu that doesn’t feel like an afterthought.
What to Order
- Cajun Chicken & Shrimp Alfredo – Creamy, spicy, and tastes exactly like the real thing
- Steak Béarnaise – The dish that’s making meat lovers do double takes
- Appetizer Sampler – Plant crab cakes, zucchini sticks, meatballs, and bruschetta
- Homemade Gluten-Free Cheesecakes – Save room. Trust me.
The Details
You’ll find Tarantino’s tucked away at 7960 S Rainbow Blvd, Suite 8000G. It’s a Southwest Vegas location worth the drive. Entrées range from $18-$33, which feels fair considering what goes into every plate. They offer dine-in, takeout, delivery, and catering for events.
Check their website or call ahead for current hours before making the trip.
The Bottom Line
Whether you’re fully plant-based, exploring Meatless Mondays, or just curious what all the fuss is about, Tarantino’s delivers. It’s excellent Italian food. Full stop.
