    First time there, place was very clean Food was excellent our server Alex was very nice , friendly and funny. We had family style dinner 5 choices for main course to choose from, unlimited wine, beer and sangria for only 70.00 per person well worth it. People should give it a shot!

    Great hidden gem on Bay Street . Menu has a mix of Spanish and Italian food. Great spot for a quiet romantic dinner.

    Mother's Day. As usual, all expectations are met. A good table available within 5 minutes, and the meal was divine. Quite busy, but service and food were on time and delicious. Special menu for the holiday, but sufficient choices available.

    Taverna never fails to deliver. Since moving to NJ several months back, we still make the trip as it’s one of our favorite restaurants. The staff and owner, both aces. They have the best paella I have eaten in the US and the socarrat (aka the crust at the bottom of the skillet) is probably one of my favorite things in the world to eat. Simple pleasures are always the best.

    First time dining at Taverna on the Bay. Welcoming experience and ambiance. Service was a bit slow Our meal was delicious! Oysters, tuna, filet of sole. My expresso martini was made to perfection. We will definitely return.

    Just disappointed that friends from jersey came to STATEN island and I have had very good experiences at Taverna in the past, but they were out of so many of our requests. First was a chocolate martini, they could not make that. Then I asked for king crab legs, which they didn’t have, which I can understand. They usually don’t have them(then take it off the menu). They did not have lobster tails! They did not have the caprese!! My husband asked to swap out clams for scallops, they had no scallops! Although the food we got was good, it was just highly disappointing and we will not be back.
