    My friend and K really enjoyed Linger! We ordered the pork belly bao, sweet fries, and charred edamame for a shared dinner. All of the food was packed with flavor and delicious. She ordered an old fashioned and I ordered the Thai tea cocktail. She enjoyed her old fashioned and said it was very orange forward, I was unfortunately not a fan of my cocktail but I think only because of personal preference. Overall I still would give it a 5/5. Ambiance was great but it was a tad loud. Looking forward to going back and trying more things!

    Birthday lunch. Great specialty cocktails, delivered within minutes. Prompt food ordering, also delivered quickly. Restaurant was not too busy at 2pm on a Tuesday, so this may not always be the case on a busy evening. So, we highly recommend a late lunch, make it your dinner, and enjoy great food, quiet and lovely atmosphere, and superior service.

    We recently celebrated my wife’s birthday at Tavernetta and it was an unforgettable experience. The highlight of the evening was the pasta with lobster—perfectly cooked and brimming with flavor. It was a dish to savor with every bite. The ambiance was warm and inviting, making it an ideal spot for a special occasion being my wife’s birthday. The staff were attentive and friendly. Great suggestion made for our first time here! If you’re looking for authentic Italian cuisine with a touch of elegance, Tavernetta is a fantastic choice. We’ll definitely be back!

    Pasta Mondays are the best idea! We made a reservation about a month and a half in advance. Definitely worth it as I overheard there was a 2 hour wait at 7:00pm. Food was delicious, service was great. Will be back.

    Food was great. I had the Flat Iron Steak. Sweet tea bourbon smash. Which was good. However 14.00 for a thin glass of ice tea crammed with Ice and 1/4 cut lemons? That was a lovely presentation but take all of that out, there was less than 1/2 of a glass of liquid in there. 14.00 dollars that’s a lot. 27 for flat iron steak- it was as good don’t get me wrong. We are all feeling the pinch of inflation, basically it’s 50.00 all in for the above. Is a lot for a meal that should be about 30/35. But the service was great. The food came out perfectly.
