Taverna (fort Worth)

Never Disappointed...Real European Style...I've been coming to this restaurant for awhile, definitely one of my favorite Italian restaurants. I've never had an dish or cocktail disappoint me, every one has been spot on! My husband is European and we have spent a lot of time there. I could tell that the owner was real Italian and put many touches that are typical to a European restaurant. I giggled in the bathroom, the tiny bathroom with a mini sink is very typical of European restaurants. The plates are also perfectly proportioned. The food was prepared fresh to order (which does take a little longer, but well worth it). The spice and composition of each plate is unique and wonderful. Thank you so much! It's always a pleasure to dine here. For the negative reviews that want big bathrooms, endless bread bowls and family size platers of food. Please go to the olive garden or macaroni grill. This is more an authentic European style and not a chain restaurant.

Moved to Fort Worth and was craving italian food. I typed in Best Italian near me into google and Taverna popped up. I perused the menu and saw they made one of my favorite dishes, spaghetti carbonara. So, I went there to eat and was impressed. I started with bruschetta which was freshly buttered. It was satisfying and not overwhelming. I ordered the carbonara and it came out with the perfect combination of creaminess and pepper. I will definitely frequent this restaurant for the carbonara alone! The pizza looked and smelled great as well. For a random Google search find, Taverna rivals the majority of italian restaurants I have been to in at least the recent past. Try it out!

The food was pretty good, had the swordfish. The service was decent, never thought I would have to ask to get bread at an Italian themed restaurant. The chairs are just uncomfortable enough to make you skip appetizers and dessert so you can eat and get out to go somewhere else. Still not sure what to make or the cajun style paper on the tables. Either they are too cheap for cloth or to lazy to clean a table? Either way, the prices on the menu don't match the decor or what you might expect for a downtown restaurant.

Taverna is by far the best food we've had while in Fort Worth. Luckily we stopped in by chance for brunch. I am amazed by the quality of each dish and the friendliness of the staff and the owner. Our waitress was happy to serve us and the owner came to check on us twice. This restaurant truly cares about crafting delicious food served with a smile. The chef's focaccia was perfect and paired so well with the in house marinara. I live 5 hours away, but I will definitely be driving back to eat dinner. I'll be singing their praises to everyone that will listen! The proof is in the marinara, Taverna offers quality food created by talented chefs in a friendly but upscale environment. Don't miss out on this gem.

Just wow! This place has Wonderful service, the owner absolutely loves feed back, very attentive, and makes you feel welcome. If you want delicious Italian food and brunch this is the place. The pizza crust was cooked to perfection, with a lovely texture. The sauce they have is apparently made in house I could most definitely taste the quality. Great atmosphere, professional wait staff. I just saw this place walking by and decided to try, I am not disappointed I'm the least and will be coming back next time I'm in Fort worth.

The food was delicious, the wait staff was a little apprehensive when they saw us with a toddler and a baby. However, the manager came to check on us and was super nice! Definitely recommend if you love Italian food. We did spend $45 after ordering 1 appetizer, 1 pizza, and 4 ice teas. So make sure you bring enough cash!

This is a great place for happy hour because it runs until 8pm at the bar only. We have had all the pizza and the bruschetta. The drinks are good and reasonably priced. I had the bourbon barrel aged stout. I'm not sure if it's still on tap but if you like stouts it's a good one. The staff is friendly and the bar area is comfortable to sit in and still have a conversation.
