About the restaurant
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.

First time in the heated greenhouse and would definitely dine there again; nice atmosphere. Only suggestion would be to get higher chairs. Just a bit too low. Server was great, even suggesting a beer he thought I’d enjoy (and he was right!). Had the Burger of the Month (Mediterranean w/Greek yogurt and feta + diced cuce salad) that was cooked as ordered- YUM! Fries are always tasty, if a bit too salty. You really can’t go wrong dining at Union and Finch. Good kitchen, bar and waitstaff, consistently good food, lively atmosphere!

Always a delight, but especially at Christmas time! Our server attended to our table several times to check on our experience. They accommodated our request for special seating. Lighting was sufficient. The decorations looked festive and cozy. The chicken parm with vegetables tasted wonderful and my house salad included a variety of toppings. Not your typical house side salad! My husband ordered the special cod with crab and enjoyed it. Our friend ordered lobster bisque, caesar salad, and coconut shrimp. All appetizers, but made a complete meal. The dessert, a pear with hot fudge and ice cream with berries and whipped cream was large enough for two of us to share. Did I say delicious, too?! Thank you Arielle's!!

The food was absolutely fantastic. The presentation was beautiful and the taste/flavor was amazing. Our table had seafood ceviche and artichoke and crab appetizers; each shared by two people. They were excellent and enough to share. Then 2 of us had halibut but 2 different preparations. One of us had scallops and one had lamb chops. Wow, we were all totally happy with our entrees. Highly recommend this restaurant. Service was timely but not rushed nor intrusive. All in all we can’t wait to go back.
