   Great service at the bar for dinner and a bottle of wine before a show across the street. We had a great time and the food hit the spot!

   We’ve been dining with you for 15+ years and can’t believe how the quality of food/service has deteriorated. Hopeful that this 2nd street staple can get turned around!

   We were seated by a rehearsal dinner party and the guests were encroaching our table. Food was really good. The birthday tiramisu was incredible. Best I’ve ever had. My only complaint is that they shouldn’t try to do rehearsal dinners in the main dining room.

   So sad that Taverna-Fort Worth closed. We were in Austin and saw Taverna Downtown/Baci Room were open so we jumped on a reservation. The place was packed. Sat at the bar for a drink before our reservation and table were ready. Amazing Food, Amazing Time!

   As always, we were treated with kindness, friendliness, and respect by our waiter Nicholas, and the hostess even noticed that it was our anniversary, and congratulated us as we checked in. The food was delicious, and the ambience is wonderful. It's nice to eat in an upscale restaurant where other diners don't feel constricted from having conversations with people they don't know. We'll be back.

    Had the branzino (love that it’s served w/o the bone) and it came w a ton of vegetables that looked farm fresh - pottatoes, carrots, olives and capers. And frites - both were delish and server was good

    Adam was fantastic helping us plan a small impromptu engagement brunch! Our server, wish I knew name (with well executed eye makeup, iykyk!), was friendly, accommodating, and a pleasure! I knew this as a wonderful weekday lunch spot, but brunch is a whole entire vibe. Go! And plan on staying. Thank you all again for a wonderful brunch event.

    Had brunch with three friends. None of us had been there since the remodel and were surprised by the change. While it was lovely, we missed the coziness of the Mediterranean atmosphere. We were greeted warmly. Food was great as well as Mariah who served us. Only complaint was the music was too loud for our preference, especially at 10:30am, and it made it challenging to visit at our table.

    Food was good, burrata caprese is consistently great, mains were nothing crazy. Drinks were forgotten about till main dishes were served after reminding the waiter. All food needed more salt which I rarely ask for. $100 for 2 people is steep.

    We enjoyed our meal at Taverna overall. I had a salmon ceasar salad and was never asked how I wanted the salmon cooked and it was crispy on the edges but so rare in the middle I could not eat it. Our waitress was outstanding but the other wait staff tried repeatedly to clear our plates while we were still eating.

    Usually the food and drinks are great, but on this occasion, the sodas were flat, the focaccia was soggy, and the Cacio e Pepe was cold and bland. Hope the team gets it back on track soon.

    I've been here more than once for brunch on a weekend. They normally have great service and great food. This time it was such a disappointment. We arrived at 1:26, right before our reservation at 1:30. We had luckily been able to make a same-day reservation. We thought the host checked us in she walked us over to their little bar seating area and just left us there, stating that one of the waitresses would sit us. The waitress turned around and was confused about what was going on. She walked us back to the host stand. Then the host tried to tell me that my reservation and name weren't mine and that I was not the person. By this time, our reservation time was 10 mins past. I showed them the reservation on my phone and showed how it matched. They said it would take 15 more mins to seat us. I asked them why it would take so long when we had a reservation. The host stated that it would take so long because people who didn't have reservations came in before us... excuse me?! What's the point of a reservation than? They eventually sat us but sat us outside when our reservation stated for inside. The manager was kind enough to help fix the problem but I would not recommend this place.

    My wife and I made a last minute reservation at Taverna and was pleasantly surprised to be seated 10min ahead of booking. Service was average but the food made up for the shortfall. Enjoyed the meal and would highly recommend Taverna 🤗
