Decent Italian Restaurant. I went here with a group of people and my date. We decided to share the bill and not order any extras due to the 20% tip. I ordered the Spinach Ricota Ravioli dinner for $16 and my date and I were thinking about ordering the Gourmet Truffle Mac and Cheese for $10 in case the ravioli wasn't enough, but we decided not to. When we got the Ravioli, it was 5 thin and wide pieces, filled with a decent amount of some pesto sauce, surrounded by a red sauce, topped with crunchy spinach (Fried spinach?), and on a large plate that was designed to not allow utensils to scoop up anything. The meal was very tasty, especially the spinach, but 5 thin pieces wasn't even enough for one person. Compared to the large pie tin of $10 truffle mac and cheese ordered by other people in our group, the ravioli was pitiful. After having a hard time trying to get the ravioli on the fork from that evil plate and eating, we were probably the only ones with an empty stomach, and not thanking the chef on purpose.…
What a gem!. We didn't even order a plated dinner and were given the star treatment. The shrimp appetizer and cheese plate were phenominal. The manager served us - when does that happen anymore?? I love the quaint alley location and the Euro bistro feel. I could not help but ooh and ahhh with every bite. Love it!!!!! For those who love true Italian-not the cookie cutter pasta menu but good Italian- look no further.…
Excellent Service. Although my friend already wrote a review of our expereience I feel it necessary to give kudos to Taverna. I thoroughly enjoyed our meal here. The atmosphere reminded me of Europe. There are lights strung from the rooftops across the alley. There is indoor and outdoor seating available. Our waitress was very good but I was most impressed with the manager who was constantly moving. He interacted well with staff and even helped them bring out bread baskets and greet guests. The butter fish was excellent. Go here for the great food and excellent service!!!…
Great Service/Atmopshere/Fod. This is the first review I have ever wrote , due to the fact that I was extremely satifsfied with this restaurant. I go to many places to eat but from the moment my friend and I stepped foot into Taverna it was a great experience. THe manager Franz came by a few times to check on us and I have never noticed a manager that works equally with his employees as he did. It was very impressive. Plus the food was amazing. I would recommend the butterfish. Great! Great atmosphere to enjoy a great bottle of wine from their selection and enjoy the wonderful tasty food.…
Terrible Service. It was a rainy night and our concierge recommended the restaurant. Our party was the last reservation for the night and we were seated outside with another party that was finishing their dinner. Understandably, the indoor seating was full upon our arrival, but there was never any offer to move inside during the night. In fact, as the other patio party left, all the tables were put away. We felt like such an inconvenience, somewhat like orphaned children. When asked to move to the now open tables inside, our waiter then said that it would be rather difficult. The food was delicious but completely difficult to enjoy with rain drops falling on the table. The cold damp street floor caused an unbearable chill during the dinner. When asked to speak to a manager, we were told that he had already left. Nothing was done to rectify the unfortunate experience, even days later when calling to discuss the matter with management. In all the situation caused for a very sad evening. The dinner was above average, but the management was less to be desired. I thought I could overlook it, but you then realize that a great restaurant should come with great service.…
