With the opening of Taverna, Platinum Dining Group brings to life its highly anticipated version of the “neighborhood gathering place.” Rustic and simple in conception but well crafted and high minded in execution, Taverna brings to Newark a casual sophistication that sees reclaimed wood and exposed brick on the wall. Polished marble rest atop the overstretched bar which boasts eighteen draft beers and the state’s first ever “tapped wine” system. A seemingly humble menu is carefully considered with homemade pastas, coal-fired pizzas, and daily “features” that will bring a smile to the most discerning grandmother’s face.**A NOTE FROM THE RESTAURANT**Reservations are not required. We welcome walk-ins.Please contact us directly at 302-444-4334 , if desired reservation time is unavailable or the party size is larger than 6.

    Great vibe. A good date night spot or a night out with friends. Not quiet and romantic but fun and lively. Food was delicious. Only negative was the risotto. Wasn’t a fan of it.

    Our Valentine’s Day dinner was perfect, as it always is when we have special occasions celebrated at Ole Tapas restaurant. The selected menu had a variety of delicious entrees, appetizers and to end the best Tres Leches cake ever. Their wine selections have so many to choose from. Our waiter’s recommendation was a perfect compliment to our meal. However, I saw several couples enjoying pitchers of sangria and it looked delicious. I’d like to try some next time. The atmosphere is lovely, romantic and good choice of background music. We have gone there when they had live music and it was great.

    It was the night before Valentines Day it was super crowded but they handled everything so well! Everyone stepped in to help including hostesses, waitstaff, bartenders and Managers to clean tables and move. Hairs around bring food out whatever it took. We took a seat in the bar area and gave up our reservation for people waiting. It was fun!

    We can't believe that we've never been to Vincente's before. I found it on OpenTable. We will be back. We even purchased a gift card for an upcoming wedding shower. The menu is extensive, and everything we had was quite good. The Caesar salad is not to be missed! Prices are surprisingly reasonable. All in all highly recommended.
