   Very nice Italian food, or better said inspired Italian food, as an Italian I have to say that the pizza is actually quite good, it’s very close to an actual pizza 😉 we had a good time the waiter was very friendly and helped us through some specials.

    I guess I choose the wrong entree! Lasagna with no pasta layers? Only a cheese layer on top. Sauce was about it and rich. For some reason, tables on either side of us were served in a timely manner but not us. Bread was quite good.

    My pasta dish was supposed to have vegetables with it and when it came out, it did not. Our wonderful waitress, Shannon "Smiles" noticed it right away, apologized, and asked if I wanted a complimentary side of sauteed veggies. Before the veggies came out, the manager Julie, came to our table, told us that Shannon had informed her that my meal was not right, and Julie comped my meal. She was lovely, kind, and took care of it the way I did when I was a restaurant manager. The food was great and the waitress and manager took care of our issue superbly.

    We started off sharing a Caesar salad, it was amongst the best I have ever had. Then lasagna and Bronzino the nightly special. The fish was amazing, lasagna was OK however portions were very good. We returned two nights later for Thanksgiving and the meal was very good.

    Taverna - MauiResponded 2 days agoAloha Gordon, Thank you so very much for such a thoughtful, kind review! We have recently revamped our caesar dressing and I agree, it is phenomenal!! I am glad you enjoyed yourself and that you were able to come back and enjoy Thanksgiving with our Taverna Ohana! We hope to see you again soon! Mahalo, Bridget Manager

    It's a restaurant on a golf course, no tablecloths, quasi Italian food. Honestly just an average atmosphere with average food. Ingredients were fresh. Focaccia was billed as warm, it was cold and hard and was deducted from the tab. Meh.

    Taverna - MauiResponded on November 23, 2022Aloha Rinka- Thank you for your feedback. I am sorry you found the experience just average. We like to think that our lovely hard, dark wood tables and floors create a beautiful ambience contrasting the lavish green landscape around us! Sincerest apologies for the bread not being up to our normal standards! I am glad we were able to correct it off the bill, and hope that you join us again o try some delicious hot house-made bread!!

    This was supposedly an Italian, or at least Italian-influenced, restaurant. Unfortunately, it was more of a golf course restaurant with an Italian theme. We had a very honest and helpful server who steered us away from several dishes. For example, my wife was going to order a pizza, but when she requested that it have a more well done crispier crust, the server discouraged her from ordering it. We learned that the authentic pizza oven was there for show and the volume of orders made it impractical to use…so their pizzas are cooked in a hot oven two at a time, and that if we liked traditional Neapolitan pizza with a crispy charred crust we would be unhappy as their crust is soft. We have a pizza oven at home and are knowledgeable about pizza, so that was that. My fish was ok, my wife’s pasta was ok, and maybe one should not expect Italian food in Maui…although I have heard Sale e Pepe is good. Also, a different server came over with a bread plate and asked if we wanted it and quickly set it down. Looking at the menu after that, we saw that it was a $10 bread plate…no big deal, but they shouldn’t bring it and hover it over your table if you didn’t see that it was extra and decided to order it. Overall, I think it is a popular place for a bite after golf that serves fairly mediocre food.

    Everything was fantastic, except for the daily fish. it was a unique fish from Alaska, but the chef decided to wrap it around bacon... yes, bacon... such a strong flavor, completely shadowed the one from the fish. it was an expensive dish for a piece for a bacon flavor one... it should have been prepared in a different way, to enjoy the taste of it. Besides everything was just fantastic!

    Taverna - MauiResponded on November 16, 2022Aloha Alejandro- I am glad you enjoyed mostly everything in your experience at Taverna!! Our saltimbocca is definitely a more traditional style Italian dish. The fish is wrapped in prosciutto in order to hold the sage leaf tightly to the fish. The prosciutto and sage wrapped around the fish allow the fish to absorb the flavors of the two without the prosciutto hardening. I hope you join us again, you would probably really enjoy the linguine con vongole!! Mahalo for your review, Bridget GM

    Service was friendly , fun, timely. Food average. Nothing special about the Caesar salad just iceberg and croutons with a little Parmesan, pizza was a good size 6 pieces thin crust but not something I would go back for. Price was reasonable. All the chairs are hard without padding but you can ask for a pad. Well spaced out for COVId.

    Taverna - MauiResponded on November 15, 2022Aloha Revzup, I am so happy that you enjoyed your time here at Taverna!! We most definitely use romaine lettuce in our Caesar salad, to ensure it is a proper caesar :) I will surely relay the critiques to chef!! Thank you for your review! Mahalo, Bridget GM

    While waiting for a table, we were offered a menu to look over. This is not a casual restaurant according to the prices on the menu. Our waiter never checked on us for any course and the “special bread platter” did not have the focaccia bread that we had in the past. It just was not the experience we expected.

    Taverna - MauiResponded on November 15, 2022Aloha Randi, Thank you for the review. I am sorry that you server seemed inattentive, and that they did not relay the specific nightly bread.

    I just moved to Maui from Oahu and heard great reviews about this restaurant. Unfortunately, disappointed is the word for this restaurant. To be fair, I gave this restaurant 2 chances and both were terrible. First time, my food was average, I can’t even tell you what I ordered. The second time, worst service and food experience. We ordered the clam dish, well they ran out of clams and my waiter didn’t even tell us, and gave us a totally different plate!?!? Who does that? He took forever to give us our bill, just an absent server. The food had no “love.” I couldn’t feel the love in the food and the service therefore I will never go back, not even for a 3rd try.

    I chalk this up as another casualty of the Pandemic. Loved it here before. Now, not so much. Food is less good, Service is indifferent, Price is high. eg: the polpette (4 meatballs) is not a $20 value. Not in presentation, nor flavor. Best part of the night was a well made Negroni.

    Taverna - MauiResponded on November 11, 2022Aloha Grubuff, I am glad that you enjoyed a delicious Negroni from our bar staff. To some, our $20 Polpette do seem expensive, but when taking into account the top grade beef and bacon used and the labor required to hand-roll each and every meatball, $20 seems like a steal! As for the service, I am very sorry they seemed indifferent. If you could please provide me with your servers name, it would be much appreciated, to ensure this doesn't continue.

    Disappointing! Very noisy, wait staff was overwhelmed and it affected the service. Charging for the poor execution on the warm bread and olive appetizer didn't live up to it's value. In fact it came across as a poor attempt to impress and did the opposite. We took our mainland visitors since we hadn't been in 4 years and we recalled a totally different dining experience (food wise). Cooking Italian all my life the menu sounds authentic, but there was a lack of authenticity in the flavor of the meal.

    Taverna - MauiResponded on November 11, 2022Aloha, Mahalo for all the feedback in the review. I apologize that you did not enjoy the pane fresco, its usually a crowd favorite so I am disappointed that it missed the mark for you. I know that when you have certain dishes that your'e used to making a certain way, it doesn't satisfy the same when it's prepared a little different when you're out. I do wish we could have wow'd you are your group with the experience, and hope that you will come back & give us another go at it! Mahalo, Bridget GM
