They sell a lot of their own merch so that's what you first see when you walk in. They have a bar area as well. The dining area towards the back is very spacious. And they have seating to accommodate small-large groups. The dim lighting adds to the calm vibe of the restaurant. The service is so fast. I feel like every item came out so quickly. And the servers checked in pretty frequently to clear the table, ask you if you need another drink, dessert, etc. it did feel a bit rushed. As a starter they give you their Ciabatta bread and the sun-dried tomato oil. The oil was DELICIOUS. I literally bought a jar to take home. For my drink I got the Fresca. It was good, very refreshing. For my entree I got the Linguini & Clams. It was good, could've used a bit more salt but the sauce was good. For desert I got the boozy affogato and it was delish. Would definitely dine here again if I'm ever in the area.

Also, if you've read my prior reviews, you know I always want my water glass filled and the waiter made sure that was the case. It's a small detail that added to the overall comfort of the meal. The ambiance of the restaurant was warm and inviting, creating a relaxed setting for dinner. The food was well-prepared and flavorful. The veal meatballs were tender, the olive oil and sun-dried tomato dip for the bread was unique and yummy, and the mushroom agnolotti stood out as especially delicious. In fact, I can't wait to go back and have it again. Also, since it was Valentines weekend they added a cute little lips design on top of my drink. Another memorable touch was the mini firework placed on the butterscotch custard to celebrate my birthday. It added a bit of fun to the end of the meal and made the occasion feel special. My partner had the cannoli for dessert and it was definitely enough for two! Overall, Taverna delivered a very enjoyable dining experience, and I would be happy to return.

The ambiance has a beautiful old-school Italian feel with a modern touch, and the noise level was perfect--lively enough to have atmosphere but quiet enough to enjoy a conversation. The wine list was moderately priced with a nice selection. We started with the bread, which was delicious, followed by fresh Blue Point oysters and the burrata appetizer, which was also very good. A special mention to Christine in management--she was exceptional and really elevated the overall experience. Great food, thoughtful service, and a warm, polished atmosphere. Definitely a place I'd return to.

We have been…read moreloyal patrons since your restaurant opened and chose to celebrate a birthday there, expecting the high-quality meal and service we have enjoyed in the past. Unfortunately, the experience did not meet those expectations. My pasta was served cold, and my husband's steak was overcooked. In addition, it took approximately 20 minutes to receive our after-dinner coffee. We were informed that the delay was due to a new coffee machine that staff members did not yet know how to operate. Given our history of positive experiences at your restaurant, this visit was particularly disappointing. I hope this feedback is helpful and that future guests will receive the level of quality and service we have come to expect from your establishment.

We ordered the meatball appetizer and the eggplant stack, along with the downtown chicken, Sunday gravy and the seafood special!!

I ordered takeout of my favorite meal - Rigatoni Abruzzi. When I got home to eat my meal all I saw was rigatoni and sausage. The sauce didn't cover all the pasta, therefore it was dry, and there were literally 2 small pieces of bell pepper in the whole dish. I had to add my own spaghetti sauce and peppers to make it edible. And to top it off, the butter for the rolls didn't look fresh; they looked like were melted and refrigerated. There must not be any quality control in their kitchen. They should be ashamed of serving a poorly put together dish.
