    It’s always been a joy to dine at Taverna. We quickly became regulars and are excited by the ever changing menu. It is a lovely fine dining experience that feels welcoming to bring my toddler. We love the weekly family special.

    Excellent prime rib, crab cake appetizer could have been a meal in itself! Small but tastefully set up, the restaurant and bar area are great. Will definitely be back!

    This was our second time enjoying a wonderful dinner at Taverna. We opted to try their Wednesday pasta night special and it was absolutely delicious and such a great value. Service and ambiance again were outstanding. Perfect Gem of a place in beautiful Bayview. Don’t sleep on winter season, now is the time to enjoy a great dinner destination with an even better view.

    The food was great. I would give five stars except the tiny piece of bread that was served per person, was stale and hard. This was my third time dining here and previously the tiny piece of bread was perfect. My Aperol spritz was perfect, like the ones I had previously, after a minor adjustment. Really it was so close to five stars, but a the tiny bread moved the needle just a tad, and I’m sure it was just a one time occurrence. I’ll definitely be dining here again and will encourage others to try this fabulous restaurant.

    Wednesday night is Pasta night. Dinner is served family style with foccia bread, Ceasars salad, and spaghetti with huge meatballs. Great dinner, cheerful efficient service, for $15. Can't get better than this!
