Cozy and dimly light, this restaurant was the perfect place to catch up with another couple for us…read more The service was very friendly and they didn't rush us at all. We ordered burrata salad (a lot of spinach and not more burrata), meatballs (not oversized), and some pasta dishes. Our food was good (favorite was the bolognese) but nothing very memorable. Keep in mind this place is has a surcharge for credit cards so consider paying cash, is BYOB, reservations are recommended for peak times (call or fb message only), parking is tricky but we parked in the lot in front of Triumph Brewery.

Really loved dining here! This is an adorable, intimate BYOB spot. Although slightly on the upscale…read moreside, the staff were friendly and gave the restaurant a family-owned vibe. I really loved the shrimp on fire appetizer. The sauce was so creamy and flavorful and the waitress even gave us more bread to eat with the leftover sauce. For my entree I got the scungilli which was so delicious- the sauce was spicy and garlic-forward, and the scungilli had a salty/briny flavor that ultimately made for a very balanced, yet bold, dish. For dessert we tried their tiramisu and the pumpkin cheesecake. Both were great, but I'm a huge tiramisu fan and they really did a great job with it. Highly recommend this spot!

Erica the hostess does a wonderful job and was able to fit us in as a party of 3 last minute, when someone cancelled. The restaurant was packed! It's cozy, great for any occasion. You can count on some regular dishes and the chef dishes up some great specials. You feel very welcome when you enter, everyone working there is attentive, not rushed or overbearing. We had the garlic bread which is always on the menu and some of the best I've had. We also had the mushroom soup special, the short ribs with rigatoni that were AMAZING! The salmon with mixed veg and sweet potato puree. Also the linguini and shrimp. For desert we shared the pistachio ricotta cheese cake and also the tiramisu. Another "Got to try " desert! The food is fresh, not frozen and the vegetables must be farm to table. It's BYOB. Which is amazing! Great experience, everything was just right, highly recommend them.

Service was outstanding from the young woman who took care of us. The entrees were good. I had the Vodka Penne and my companion had chicken. It was enjoyable, but we've had better.

We finally got around to trying Taverna 54. We called ahead to check on seating, and Maximo told us…read moreto come in. When we arrived, though, we were told there weren't any seats. After a few minutes, they said they could squeeze us in. It felt a bit odd -- the space isn't very large, so you'd expect the dining room to be easier to manage. We shared the burger and the carbonara. Both dishes were underwhelming, especially given the expectations we had for this spot. The burger was on the bland side, and the carbonara was made with store‑bought noodles, which took away from the dish. While the food missed the mark, the dining area itself is very nice and the service was great.

Taverna 54 has a lot going for it in terms of atmosphere and service--the ambiance is warm and…read morestylish, and the staff is friendly and attentive throughout the meal. It's a place that feels special and welcoming, great for a night out with friends or a date. We started strong with the appetizers--the meatballs and burrata were excellent. Flavorful, well-prepared, and a great way to kick off the meal. Unfortunately, things took a nosedive when we got to the main course. My friend ordered the lasagna, and his verdict was harsh but honest: it reminded him of high school cafeteria food. I ordered the New York strip steak, and I can only describe it as awful--tough, flavorless, and poorly presented (photo attached if you're reading this somewhere that allows images). Thankfully, dessert helped redeem the experience. Everything we tried was delicious, beautifully done, and left a great final impression. Bottom line: Taverna 54 is worth visiting for its appetizers, drinks, and desserts. Skip the mains. With such a beautiful setting and solid service, it's a shame the entrees don't live up to the rest of the experience.

We pass by this restaurant frequently and finally had a chance to try it out. The food was…read moredelicious but the experience was a little confusing. When you walk in there is sort of a vestibule before the dining room, but it felt as if we had actually come in by the wrong door -- I'm still not sure. Either the front door is well hidden or the entrance is not very welcoming, and there was no one there to greet us. Once seated, however, the atmosphere was charming. We had some light trouble communicating with the staff. It wasn't at all clear who the three different people who visited our table were. The youngest one, in particular, spoke so fast and low that it was difficult to follow him, and even though the room was relatively quiet. The food made up for some of our difficulties. The cioppino, in particular, was excellent, even if it didn't contain exactly the items listed in the menu; it's the nature of the dish. Once we had our meals, everything was quite agreeable. The food was great; the rest of the experience kind of 'mid.' It seemed that if we were regulars, already acquainted with the idiosyncrasies of the place, we would have been more comfortable, but as first-timers it was all a bit discomfiting. I suppose would go back again, but it hasn't won it's way into a spot among my favorites.
