The moment you step in Taverna restaurant, you're greeted with the most welcoming atmosphere. The food is a taste bud symphony – each dish is a masterpiece. The staff goes above and beyond with their friendliness, making the entire dining experience feel like a celebration. If you're a fan of Italian cuisine, this is your go-to spot. 5 stars all the way! ❤️🇮🇹🍝

Such a sweet little lunch spot. My first time here and it was a very cozy and warm set up. A little crowded but definitely added to the European-Esque vibe. Although our server was very busy he made sure our glasses were always full and we had everything we needed. Food was delicious and for dessert I asked for an affogato which they didn't have on the menu but made happen just for me!

The food was delicious and the service was outstanding. It's the perfect quiet and cozy setting for a date night. Will most certainly return!

Tried to visit on a Sunday for brunch but did not have reservations. They were packed! So if you're planning to do brunch, make reservations.
We came back on Monday for a late lunch and were glad we did.
The atmosphere is interesting. Casual with open kitchen, dining room concept. Could you use a fresh coat of paint and a little updating of Decor.
Our waiter was pleasant and attentive.
For starters, we shared the beet root salad and meatballs, both excellent choices. The generous portion of meatballs (which could be a meal itself) are legit Italian. You can taste the savory herbs and spices in the delicious homemade gravy.
For our entrees, we had the special risotto with crab and shrimp and salmon. Both were wonderful! Shrimp was a bit overcooked, but over all, dish was good. We had 2 desserts, the Cannoli, which was obviously homemade and tasted wonderful. The clear winner was the flourless molten lava cake. We shared a bottle of wine, the special seasonal Spritz and Cappachino. All the food tasted so good that we just had to get a specialty pizza to go for later! Glad we did, it was wonderful!Definitely, for the cost of the meal and the experience, it is worth the cost, which was reasonable for the value and quantity!! You definitely won't leave hungry. We highly suggest you visit and will definitely be back as we have now found our special date night restaurant.👌😁

Excellent place for extraordinary Italian food. We celebrated our daughter's birthday at Taverna and we felt like we had been transported to a quaint fuori restaurant in Rome. Stellar service...Every morsel of food superb!!
We started with the fritto misto-Perfectly fried and salted, calamari, shrimp, zucchini and eggplant.
Veal parmigiana with spaghetti pomodoro was tender and delicious.
Tagliolini scampi with shrimp was a tangy, garlicky, capery, lemon delight!
My favorite hands down was the homemade fiocchi al gorgonzola. Pillowy pasta, filled with creamy gorgonzola, pears, walnuts, arugula in a light cream sauce. This dish should be experienced by all!
Minestrone soup was good and so was the ceasar salad.
The only thing I could say that is a negative is the tiramisu...not because it wasn't good, because it was, but because it was too small...it was the only thing on the menu not worth the $$

Brunch is always amazing at Taverna. Mimosa carafe at 13 dollars yes pls!!! Their carbonara and avocado toast are so yummy. Make sure you make a reservation. It gets packed on Weekends and yes even on Sundays

Went there with a party of six. Food and drinks were delicious and refreshing. Be prepared to spend a little more, but you get what you pay for in terms of food quality, service, and overall atmosphere.

A group of friends wanted to come here because they'd heard of Taverna's brunch. The eggs benedict were very good, nothing unique or extraordinary. I ordered the regular eggs benedict, with a side of ham, However, my friends ordered the Salmon version, and they look amazing. Next time, I'll order that version of eggs Benedict. The place was pretty, the staff were friendly. We had a wonderful time.
Joe Horner
Great pasta, excellent service and a nice atmosphere. Their sauces are very delicious. The Tagliatelle Bolognese is heavenly. They are always willing to customize dishes the way you want them. Peak hours can be quite busy and this location doesn’t take reservations.

My friends and I went on a Friday evening (with reservations via OpenTable) and the wine, cocktails, and entrees did NOT disappoint! I thoroughly enjoyed my dish and broccolini (I loved the spices).

We love this place. We met there with friends a couple of times. The food is excellent and we took advantage of the $3 mimosas. However we were a little rushed to finish and leave the table on our last visit. I understand they need the table for other customers but I didn’t like feeling rushed after we paid so much for a party of 10. But still giving them 5 stars.

I really enjoyed my dining experience at Taverna. This location is very cute and the patio view is nice… and now enjoyable because the weather is cooling down.
The portions of each of the dishes were just right and everything was seasoned well. The best hit of the night was the tiramisu dessert. The presentation was unique and the taste was truly a delight!
I recommend setting reservations ahead of time and plan to valet because there is very limited street parking as it is off the busy, popular strip of Knox Henderson.

Anything you order from the menu is delicious!
I will suggest as a starter a Carpaccio di Manzo, one of the best ones I have tried. If you want an extra touch don't forget to add balsamic vinegar and olive oil, you won't regret it.
We also ordered veal parmigiana and fruti di mare with capellini.
To finish a great tiramusi, you won't like to share!
The service is always welcoming and checking if we needed anything. The food speaks for itself. I always come back when I'm in town.

What a beautiful place! I felt like I was on the streets of Italy. The sidewalk dining was charming with the lovely railing separating you from the traffic. The awning is a nice touch, but it felt more homey sitting in the patio on the side of the building. The trees had little twinkly lights and the birds were flying around (not too crazy). It was super nice. You could turn to speak to someone at the next table and feel like it was one big gathering if you wanted to.
Now for the service: Our server was attentive, professional and knew his stuff! He checked on us often and gave us time when we were indecisive. His suggestion of the Lagardia wine was excellent ($36 for the bottle). We began with the mussels ($18). Loved the sauce - even more than Trulucks. The accompanying bread was perfect for dipping. Mussels can be tricky - these were wonderful.
I ordered the seabass ($34) and my sis ordered the Tavera burger ($19).
She loved her burger!! Couldn't finish it, of course (see photo). I stole a couple of fries & had a tiny bite of meat. It was very good. My seabass was cooked perfectly and the sauce was the same as the mussels, so I was happy. The shrimp was full of flavor, yum!! Be careful of the lemon garnish on top - I wasn't paying attention & ate a bite - wow! LOL
Alexis (our server) didn't have to twist our arm to much for dessert - we split a chocolate mousse. Divine!!
Overall, the experience was very nice and I would recommend this place. We got in at a great time - no wait - but it got really busy before we left (7pm on a Friday).

Went on a Saturday without realizing brunch was going on, so it was very busy but we only had to wait for a few minutes to get seated. Our waiter was great and very nice. The focaccia with prosciutto was more like toasted pizza dough, but it was still great. The paglia e fieno was very good. You could taste the truffle oil, but it was not overwhelming. The carbonara was also very good.

Adrian Soria, The executive chef, went out of his way to make me the most delicious vegan, oil free pasta and vegetable dish! I am grateful! Joey Provided flawless service to our table! Furthermore the entire staff is jovial and very pleasant to be around! I truly five star experience!

Solid Italian restaurant but they only serve beer and wine. No cocktails
Elizabeth Stafford Smith
We found this place while looking for another place and so glad we did! The hospitality, service and food were all great! Very friendly, welcoming staff - like none I've ever seen! Highly recommend!
Dennis Macy
The pizza was good, but we decided to eat there because of the happy hour prices... only after ordering did we find out (from i think a pretty new waitress), that happy hour was only in the bar area and not on the floor. No where online did it say just in the bar. Don't get to Ft. Worth very often, but will probably skip this place in the future
Brandi Coleman
I have never had a bad meal here! This place is amazing and authentic. Great mimosas and great service. Pizzas, breads, pasta, salads are all wonderful with fresh ingredients and the best preparation for them. Highly recommend!
Nevin Grinnell
Actually had the best Risitto dish ever! It was a special for that evening - Spinach stuffed quail Risotto. Couldn’t believe I was thinking how good it was the day after. Also the waitress was great very accommodating for my daughter and I. I know it sounds like an ad but I never write about these things but it was a great experience.
Julia Kanaan
One of our favorite places in Dallas. No matter what you order on the menu, its always good. Service is excellent. And their chefs special focaccia bread is to die for. Cheers to Mr. Lombardi for such a great job! ��
Stocky Roberts
Food is excellent and desserts are wonderful. Only disappointment is they don’t have a full bar so if you want a cocktail for dinner better go next door to Toulouse that I think is owned by the same firm. If they have the sole, get it and have Sonoma Cutrer with the dish. Absolutely amazing flavor blend!
Marcelo Wicher
One of the best places in Dallas for sure. The food was fresh and the service was awesome. I ordered the risotto of that, meat carpaccio and I won a cake from the estroom because it was my birthday! The waitress was so polite, talked to me and my wife and made lots of good suggestions. Even the manger went to speak to us! I will come back!
Lancaster Miller
Our server, Kimberley was was very sweet and attentive. I had the eggs benedict with smoked salmon. It was the best thing I've had in a while. 10/10 will be back!
Natalia Gomez Angel
Great food, wine and patio. Will be coming back �
Kathy Devers Doherty
Our favorite brunch place. The staff is very welcoming and attentive. We wish you would come to Waco.
Cathy Jane Perlstein
We absolutely loved this place! The gnocchi was delicious, even when I reheated my leftovers the next day. My only complaint is that I wish I would have saved room for desert. Israel was a wonderful waiter and suggested a wine that paired rather well with our entrees. We will definitely be returning.
Jacqueline Bailey
Always enjoy the Eggplant Parmigiana here. Great to sit outside on the patio on a spring evening.
Joe Crawford
Great spot to brunch with friends with a very warm and inviting staff. We were very pleased and will be back!
Mark Carden
Sat at the bar and had great service. Enjoyed the wine and food. Bartender knew the right port to go with my desert. I was impressed.
Caleb Marsh
This is our "go to" Sunday brunch spot. Friendly staff, consistent service, and tasty good and drinks make for the perfect place to relax and laugh with friends.
