With businesses beginning to reopen it is extremely crucial that we continue to support our small and local businesses!

Right now is the time to help support our local restaurants and private chefs. Tara's Italian Cucina is here to offer weekly curb-side delivery. Each Monday chef Tara will prepare, package and deliver meals for you and your family. We are trying things differently and instead of a set menu, you can choose the dishes you wish to be prepared. The cost of this is $50 per hour plus the cost of groceries. A minimum of $150 for all orders. Please email or call Tara by Friday night to place your order. Chef Tara is also offering 3,4, or 5 course meals to celebrate a special occasion. Chef Tara will either prepare the meal in your house (with a mask) or deliver the meal to your door. Gift certificates are available for purchase as well. Give the gift of meal delivery to someone special in this difficult time. Payments will be made via venmo or zelle pay. To place orders or inquire about any service please email [email protected] or call 215.840.3341.
