Taverna is a warm and inviting neighborhood restaurant that offers a truly Italian experience without having to leave Texas. Our Italian chefs strive to create the perfect menu using seasonal ingredients for their surprising entrees; every day we present a variety of northern Italian delights from simple comforts such as pan seared sea bass to delicate pasta and fabulous risotto.Risotto is indeed our flagship dish. We only use Carnaroli rice – the “king of the rice”; thanks to its particular characteristics and firm texture the Carnaroli grain maintains its shape during the slow cooking required for a perfect and creamy risotto. Our broad offering includes truffle oil and Parmigiano risotto, bay scallops with home made pesto and an inspired Vin Santo risotto with asparagus and prosciutto.A taverna in Italy is a special place where customers become friends and family. Here we celebrate the essence of hospitality and farm-to-table cooking reflecting our authentic Italian style.

    I'm hesitant to write a great review. This little hidden gem with outstanding food and service is not so hidden anymore. This has easily become our number 1 spot to dine out in the local area. The food is fantastic, the service is impeccable, and you can tell the management and ownership care about the business. The result is an awesome experience. My wife loves the GF options and our difficult 11 year old has not left disappointed yet!

    This was our second visit. We loved it the first time and decided to celebrate Valentines here. All of the staff were very friendly, the food has consistently been impeccable, and the decor is stunning yet comfortable at the same time. I had the Arugula Mista salad and Ravioli Burro & Salvia. It is divine! My husband had steak and said it was delicious as well. The service was a bit slow, but it as Valentines weekend and packed so that is to be expected. Plus our server acknowledged it and kept apologizing. It is a bit pricey but totally worth it for a special occasion. This is a case of “you get what you pay for”. I have recommended to friends. We will definitely be back again!

    We had excellent food and service during our visit. Everyone was friendly and aimed to please us. My fish was slightly undercooked and we were rewarded with two free desserts which was more than we expected and much appreciated!

    I didn't care for my table location. It was a two-person table with one seat on a bench and the other a chair. I always give my husband the seat where he's not looking at the wall so I spent the entire time looking at a wood wall. The table next to us was very loud. I should have requested a different table but it was crowded. Next time I'll do that in my reservation request.
