Talaynas Italian Restaurant

Ordered pizza and some garlic bread for pickup. The pizza was ok. The service was excellent. Lots of room inside for social distancing and about 5 tables outside when weather is nice. Dine in: Yes Outdoor seating: Yes Takeout: Yes … More

Good food, and okay service but beware of additional charges! Our check said there would be a 3.5 percent charge on credit card transactions for each item. This was before we even presented the card. When we asked our server, she said the additional charge would “probably” go away if we paid cash. Probably?!?!? We were given a new check with a slightly lower amount, but would we have even been given that if we didn’t ask? Why is a restaurant this size processing cards like that? I could understand using Square or similar app for a small business, but not for a restaurant. How much money are they stealing from customers, either paying with a card or cash, without them even realizing it happened? Why not just raise prices by 3 or 4 percent? Food was good, and I was prepared to come back again, but not after this. It just felt shady and bizzare. A very odd business practice, if you ask me.

Like the atmosphere. And my waitress Jasmine was great. Today I had a New York style pizza, but they also have St. Louis an Chicago syltyle as well. I really like their Chicago style, I think it's the best I've had locally since Uno's closed their St. Louis locations. (Not really a fan of Pi) Their mozzarella sticks are the same generic, out of a bag sort that most places have, but at least they're served properly hot.
