    We enjoyed ourselves at brunch today. Everything was tasty and our server Mia was on top of it. Love the relaxed vibe and ambiance.

    Taverna is a good, casual restaurant to have a drink and spend some time. The food, while visually appealing, was not particularly flavorful. The menu is very similar to North Italia. We started with some mixed drinks which were very good. The squash zucchini chips were mostly breading. The focaccia with prosciutto was slightly better. The appearance is like a round pizza with a very hard crisp crust with a. Burnt Parmesan taste. Be careful when you bite that you don’t break your teeth. For our entrees, the branzino was a small flavorless portion served in a giant pan. The seafood pasta was average and the gluten free pizza was not good. Overall, most of the food was uneaten and we ate again when we returned home. The service however was very good.

    Food was mushy. I was told that they had been spaghetti, but my plate came out with thick spaghetti. Then I asked to replace it with spaghetti and they said they didn’t have any but they only had one kind!

    Service was awful. My husband’s drink was never refilled. No one checked on us. His pasta was lukewarm and came out 10 minutes before my salad, which was strangely spicy. There are way better Italian restaurants in Austin. We will not return.

    As a huge fan and loyal customer of Dallas Taverna and Lombardi family, although excited to try it, dining first time in Austin was a huge disappointment. Service below par, poor and inexistant management, overcooked risotto no truffle, barely any ricotta on the alla Norma - in short a disaster. And not even an apology!
