Tulipano Italian Restaurant, Azusa

Tulipano Italian Restaurant has been in business since October 1993. It is a family-run restaurant, owned by two brothers from Naples, Italy -- Chef Eduardo Carrano and Host Vincenzo Carrano. Tulipanoac2s cuisine is based on traditional Italian dishes using the finest fresh ingredients and cooking techniques. You will see, smell, and taste the difference. The dining area is split into two sections; one side has wide picture windows, a sort of casual seating, while the other side is more of a formal setting. The pastas are made fresh daily, but donac2t just look at the menu. You must hear which specials the chef has planned for the day. If you donac2t see or hear anything youac2re interested in, the motto is acoeif what you are craving is not on the menu, but we have it in the kitchen, weac2ll cook it for you.ac People from all around come in to enjoy a good meal. From an afternoon lunch break to an elegant dinner proposal date. However, if you donac2t have the time to eat in, place an order to go and it will be packed up for you including the bruscetta appetizer and warm bread.
