Taverna is a warm and inviting neighborhood restaurant that offers a truly Italian experience without having to leave Texas. Our Italian chefs strive to create the perfect menu using seasonal ingredients for their surprising entrees; every day we present a variety of northern Italian delights from simple comforts such as pan seared sea bass to delicate pasta and fabulous risotto.Risotto is indeed our flagship dish. We only use Carnaroli rice – the “king of the rice”; thanks to its particular characteristics and firm texture the Carnaroli grain maintains its shape during the slow cooking required for a perfect and creamy risotto. Our broad offering includes truffle oil and Parmigiano risotto, bay scallops with home made pesto and an inspired Vin Santo risotto with asparagus and prosciutto.A taverna in Italy is a special place where customers become friends and family. Here we celebrate the essence of hospitality and farm-to-table cooking reflecting our authentic Italian style.

    Excellent dinner and service as usual. Definitely our favorite restaurant in North Texas! Tonight we had lobster fettuccine, seafood stew, and lamb chops. Everything was delicious and the servings were abundant. Our server was fantastic and very attentive even on such a busy evening.

    Our waitress was a bar tender and while she would sometimes take a while to make her way back over to us, the service was incredible. I didn’t catch her name, but she recommended us some fantastic wine. The spaghetti alla carbonara is what me and my partner both ordered and it came out very quickly and was prepared wonderfully. Will 100% be returning in the near future.
