I went for my birthday last night and my experience was exceptional! Food and service were all so good. My server was so kind and attentive, and the ast. manager Valeria was amazing and took about 5-10 minutes to chat with us. I def. would recommend and go again. read more

Amir was fantastic and so was the food! Will be back next time in Dallas. Ambiance was great as well.

First time having brunch here. We sat on the patio which was perfect. Able to people watch while enjoying the nice weather. The drink specials were great so I had a few belinis. The food was ok but I felt like it could have had some more flavor. read more

Such a fun ambiance in this restaurant! Lots of large tables for groups of friends. They also have nice patio seating. Our server was great, patient and nice! They had a few brunch options and I ended up ordering the burger medium well which had a bit of truffle on it, it was good flavor but a little too much truffle. The fries were perfect. We ordered some focaccia for the table! I'm not used to focaccia being as thin as it was I usually prefer pillowy fluffy focaccia but I enjoyed this version! Would recommend if you're in the area. Plan to come back and try some of their pasta. read more

Came on a Friday night around 7pm and was seated immediately which was great. Food was okay but expensive for what we got. Got a pasta dish with pears in a cream sauce. It was a rich sauce and the pears actually tasted oddly good, however the overall dish lacked flavor. The bruschetta was fresh but nothing wow. Unsure if I would return to try something else. Ambiance was pretty. read more

Valeria the general manager is so sweet! Food was so good, prices super reasonable. Good energy the second you walk through the door. We were seated immediately even thought the place was packed, our waiter was on top of it. 3$ mimosas got us through the door but we came back the next day for the entire experience. read more

Always a great time here. I have visited maybe four times since May so yes, I do enjoy this location. One of the times I came for brunch, I believe we showed up about an hour before our reservation just to see if they could squeeze us in and they did- so that was awesome. The service is very quick. The restaurant is always clean. One of the managers, Anthony, is extremely helpful. He definitely does his share of the workload- which he really doesn't have to do but he hustles hard for sure. Overall, great spot for Sunday brunch. We will definitely come back, no complaints. Eggs Benedict are my favorite on the menu. $3 bellinis/ mimosas on Sundays for sure, not sure about Saturdays- but regardless, I love a good deal. read more

Had the best Sunday Morning brunch! We sat on the patio and there was beautiful fake flowers hanging over the lights on the patio. The waitress and staff were all really sweet and helpful. I ordered the BEC Sandwich (Bacon Egg Cheese) and it came with fries and it was so good ! And everything was so reasonably priced. Overall had a great experience! I will say- they do have valet but it was full so I had to scramble to find parking which was a pain but it worked out. read more

$3 mimosas and Bellinis for weekend brunch special. The wait time is long but you can call ahead. They have a bar that is open seating and don't need rsvps you can order from prior to sitting. We got the eggs Benedict ($16) and the taverna burger ($18). Both were filling and come with lots of potatos or fries. Service was quick and the the seating inside was more Italian tablecloth. Great for a boozy brunch and to show visitors read more

Their brunch SLAPS. You can't beat $3 mimosas and quality Italian food on a Saturday. We went right when it opened and were able to be seated immediately. Service was great and loved the AC on the patio. Can't wait to go back to try the meatballs! read more

I absolutely love pasta, and the gorgonzola with pear sauce was incredible--the best I've had. The meatballs were also divine. Overall, the food here is much better than Carbone. That said, the service could have been better. Our server Federico didn't mention any specials or recommendations, which I later overheard another server doing for their table. I ordered fries, and while they were good, it took a while for them to come out. When I asked for ketchup, the bottle was brought to the table, which felt a little out of place since it usually comes in a ramekin. When our food arrived, we didn't have any silverware and had to ask another server to bring some over. Maybe our waiter was just having an off day, but the experience could have been smoother. There's definitely room for improvement. read more

In Dallas for a trade show I went to the upscale Knox neighborhood to eat at Taverna. The restaurant has a warm atmosphere and a very Italian country vibe. We ate on the covered patio with heaters all around so it was comfortable even in January. The food was very good, not necessarily totally authentic but very tasty. We ordered Bruschetta, Meatballs Al Sugo and Antipasto Emiliano as starters to share at the table. The Bruschetta was tasty, the Meatballs were fantastic but the Antipasto was a little inauthentic. I never saw an antipasto dish using Mortadella as a meat since its a cheap Bologna meat, though they did have some Prosciutto as well, olives, red grapes, cheeses and Gherkin pickles on it as well. For the main course I ordered the Sea Bass Brodetto (an Italian version of the Spanish Paella), which was very tasty. This was paired with a delicious Californian red wine (the Walking Fool), and for desert I had an espresso with a Crème Brûlée. The food was tasty and it was a pleasant meal. read more

Incredible beyond on the interior with exposed brick and vibrant atmosphere. We came for a brunch and the vanilla French toast was awesome and focaccia bread a must. Both the salad and the biscuits and gravy were a bit bland, which is the only reason we didn't give it a 5 read more

Great service sweet people the food's awesome and atmosphere is great Love the salmon! And the charcuterie board read more

I get the same thing every time. TRUFFLE FRIES- the style is a little different..like In-N-Out fries... A little soggy. They give this to you with ketchup, but ask for a side of aïoli. TRUFFLE RISOTTO- this was good. Just as I remembered. SPAGHETTI VONGOLE- clam spaghetti. This was tasty. BREAD- you have to ask for it... This was good. Great compliment to the pasta. Give it with olive oil and balsamic vinegar. read more

This is delicious! I think all Italian tastes pretty much the same, but not this place! We ordered the Negroni that is wine based, crispy and refreshing. Our waitress was the sweetest and the staff were accommodating. In addition, the pasta-stuffed pasta was unreal. I recommend this place for good food, good atmosphere and wine. read more

The perfect brunch spot for a casual hang out! Mimosas were $3 a glass, we ended up getting a carafe of mimosa, a pizza Bianca, the bolognese, and a bruschetta for the table. Every dish was super fresh & delicious. We had the perfect amount of food to split for a table of 4. The location is perfect to kick off a Saturday in Dallas. read more

We started coming to this place a few weeks ago for brunch and now it's becoming a regular Sunday place for us. We usually sit at the bar and greeted by the friendly bartender, Ana! She's great along with the other staff members. They have a couple of TVs too to watch some sports if on. We have been going back for the "create your own omelet" which we get with everything including Jalepenos. This omelet is just so delicious and filling too. We also love love their bacon and even the potatoes are cooked to perfection! We will be coming back again! I also had dinner here a couple of weeks ago and the pizza was delicious but forgot to snap a pic for yall. read more

My friends and I came on a Friday and were able to sit outside in a very cute candle lit table. Our waiter was fine, but didn't give us great advice when we ordered and wasn't very friendly. I ordered the Cesar salad, eggplant parmigiana, the New Zealand Pinot Noir, and later ordered the cannolis as dessert. My food was very good, but my friends didn't like their desserts. The Panna Cotta was very hard and had the texture of dried greek yogurt. The Tortino Al Cioccolato was mushy, super rich and more of a pudding than a cake. I'd come back again but I'd probably skip dessert. read more

I found this place through my sister and had to bring my husband here. the service is top notch but the space can be a little tight depending on which night you come. I got lamb the first time and the spinach ravioli the next while my husband got risotto al pesce perisc. We had a few wines on the waiter's recommendation and he did not miss! be careful though because if you indulge Too much, your wallet might hate you later! read more

Food Alert! If you're in the Dallas/Uptown area and you're looking for a good brunch or dinner spot, well, look no more Taverna has got you covered!

I really enjoyed my dining experience at Taverna. This location is very cute and the patio view is nice... and now enjoyable because the weather is cooling down. The portions of each of the dishes were just right and everything was seasoned well. The best hit of the night was the tiramisu dessert. The presentation was unique and the taste was truly a delight! I recommend setting reservations ahead of time and plan to valet because there is very limited street parking as it is off the busy, popular strip of Knox Henderson. read more

This was my review for Maria treating us nasty and I gave her 3 star We visited Taverna on Knox Street in Dallas this evening with a reservation originally set for 18 people. Unfortunately, only 9 of us were able to make it. From the start, the manager on duty, Maria, came across as very firm and a bit too stern. When she realized no one else would be arriving, she immediately and somewhat aggressively removed the extra waters from the table, which felt unnecessary and rude. I understand it wasn't ideal for such a large reservation to shrink, but it wasn't something within my control. Throughout the evening, Maria's approach felt nervous and aggressive, as if she was frustrated with us for the no-shows, and it left a sour impression. Considering our table still spent close to $700 (with gratuity), I expected more courtesy. On the positive side: the food was delicious, the atmosphere was beautiful, and the outdoor area was lovely. The dining experience itself was enjoyable, but the service attitude unfortunately overshadowed it for me. I'm not sure if I'd return because of how we were treated, which is disappointing given how great everything else was. read more

This place was surprisingly disappointing. It is really somewhere between 2 & 3 stars, but since I had high expectations the discrepancy pushed it to a 2. The mimosas tasted like cheap white wine. They don't have a full bar, which is disappointing for a brunch spot. We had the Fritto Misto and it tasted so fishy we didn't even finish it. My date had the Taverna Hash with scrambled eggs, which were mediocre. The same could be said for my Paglia E Fieno, disappointing but not disgusting. read more
