This restaurant used to be the best Italian in Lansing; it was special, Before Covid, the ingredients were local, fresh, and cooked just right. We were disappointed when it didn't open up for quite some time after restrictions were removed. We would text and be...told, "we hope to open in a few weeks" or "next month". We were looking for a place to eat this weekend and noticed Tanin was open. When we came in, we were excited. They have added tables but it's still open kitchen and reminiscent of the Kentucky Fried Chicken (old building). The wine is still marvelous; bottles are reasonably priced. The bread was bland (white with oregano/spice on top). The appetizer special was crab, it was good, but not remarkable, our salads, too much dressing (drenched) but tasty. My spaghetti, I think they were going for Al dente, but it was almost crunchy. My husband's meal was probably good, and he enjoyed it. I was disappointed because the food used to be so good, we would rave to our friends. I think the quality has decreased and attention to detail needs to be looked at.More
