First time dining there and we will not be back based on the food. That's why we go out to eat, for the food. The prices were very high compared to the quality of the food, so the value isn't there. It was $70 for 1 Lasagna and 2 Gnocchi dishes, and for those prices, I was expecting a lot more. Our server was good, but it was hard to gauge because the restaurant was nearly empty. Caesar Salad was mostly the white part of the romaine lettuce, very heavy on the dressing and a bit salty. It didn't live up to the photos on the website at all. Lasagna Al Forno was mediocre at best, but it's hard to mess up a lasagna. Gnocchi Di Patate Rustici was below average. Two of us ordered it and it was not homemade as the menu said, it was over-cooked, nearly mushy, and the short rib ragu was way too thick for the gnocchi. We didn't bother to have dessert. One good thing is if you want a very very strong drink, this is the place to go because the bartender had a very very heavy-hand. This was more like a dressed-up Maggiano’s.

This is a restaurant my wife and I have been to many times (within walking distance for us), but we had taken a break of a year+. It was a Monday night and the restaurant was no more than 35% full. Some irritating changes in the past year that made the overall experience less friendly and accommodating: 1) In the past they had always cheerfully agreed to serve their calamari dish with grilled calamari (vs fried as described on the menu). Last night they refused saying a new chef is very rigid. A long standing part of their menu, it’s a good dish combining shrimp and vegetables—and much healthier when grilled. One of my favorites. Why would they refuse a seemingly simple customer request? 2) My wife and I decided to share a salad and pasta dish. We asked if the kitchen would split the items for us. The server told us the kitchen would not split the items in the kitchen, but he would bring share plates and we could split ourselves. We would have happily paid a split charge BTW. No biggie in the long run, but why refuse? They weren’t busy. 3) Our pasta dish was incredibly smaller than in our previous visits. A victim of inflation no doubt, but the reduction was dramatic—is inflation 50%+?. Appetizer portions of pasta dishes at Pricci nearby are larger. In fairness, the food was good as it’s always been. But the friendly and accommodating vibe that has been a big part of Taverna’s appeal was missing. Found myself focusing on irritation rather than the food.

This is a great "neighborhood" restaurant with an open floor plan that connects to the patio. It is a lovely spot! The food was terrific. We had the octopus and buretta - both excellent. My husband had steak and reported it to be "an excellent piece of meat!." Our wait person was attentive and knowledgeable. The after dinner coffee was exceptional.
