Delicious drinks! Great thin crust pizzas! Good ambience, peaceful water views. Observant service. Only negative would be acoustics, a bit loud when busy. Will definitely return. read more

Food good and nice service. We had the vegetarian lunch pizza special (9 inch pizza, soda and salad) Service was prompt and timed that the pizzas arrived just as we were finishing our salads. Our pizzas we somewhat bland and tasted like pre-made pizza shells. I would not call it "artisan" pizza but was a good value for lunch at a sit down restaurant at $13 pp read more

I love Sunday Funday and the Mimosas here are huge. The cost is great for Brunch. Heavy on the champagne and a splash of orange juice. This visit was for drinking only. Service was good and the bartender was spunky and fun! She was pleasant and friendly. Ambiance is cool as it's a fun vibe. The decor is fresh and funky in a good way. The booths are big,comfortable and cozy. read more

Went here with my partner and got the family dinner combo which included a soft pretzel appetizer, large salad for the table, and a pizza of our choice. It was our first time, so we went for the Classic Rossa pizza. The pretzel was great and the salad was very large and delicious. The pizza I feel had too many toppings and came out somewhat soggy, tomatoes, spinach, and artichokes has a tendency to do that. Additionally, I am not much of a thin-crust person, but the crust stayed very crispy despite the soggy toppings. I think when I return, I will get a pizza with less wet toppings. The service was outstanding, I think the general manager was our waiter for some time, and she even got us a free order of queso because it was our first time dining with them. Even if that hadn't happened, the service would get full marks. The atmosphere is great, a good blend of brick oven pizzeria and Texan flair. Overall, a solid place, if I come back and find a pizza I like better, I will try to update this review. read more

$16 Lunch Special (choice of salad, pizza and fountain drink). I ordered: * A nice plentiful bowl of salad (not pictured) - Farmhouse Salad and added feta * Individual-sized pizza-- Enough for leftovers and the crust is thin and crispy-- Luscher Supreme and added fresh jalapeños. It's bigger than the picture appears. ********************** * Blueberry Lemon Martini was delicious and not too sweet (not pictured) * Buffalo Shrimp- too soggy to me- the shrimp was plump and Buffalo flavor was good-- they've should've just drizzled it with the Buffalo and ranch instead. Service was friendly-- could be a tad quicker. read more

Taverna Rossa - TX Shrimp Buffalo Style - Pizza Near Me - Plano, Texas

While visiting Frisco, the hubs and I dined inside Taverna Rossa on a busy Friday evening. Shortly after we put our name in for a table, two seats at the bar opened up. The bartender immediately greeted us, and we each enjoyed a beer while looking over the menu. We decided upon a salad to share and the supreme pizza, both of which were delicious! read more

Taverna Rossa - Outside - Pizza Near Me - Plano, Texas

Bf and I waited for about 15 min after getting on the waitlist. We were first greeted by the GM who offered us free queso for being first time visitors. The queso came with Fritos. We then shared the family dinner with a Caesar salad and the original Rossa pizza. The dinner also came with a pretzel. The pretzel was decently good but tasted more like garlic bread. The Caesar salad was yummy and a bit sharper than a normal Caesar. The pizza was alright. Good toppings, but slightly too many of them (toppings falling off all over the place!) and a mediocre crust. Can't really complain for $35, and very friendly service. I wasn't super excited about the food, but it was by no means bad. read more

Taverna Rossa - Pizza Near Me - Plano, Texas

Taverna Rossa is an excellent place for a satisfying and delicious Italian meal. We visited on a Saturday evening and it was super-busy. Definitely make reservations to ensure you get seated in a timely fashion. The parking can be scare, we did have to park rather far away and walked- which is fine, but just wear comfy shoes. The night we arrived, they had a gentleman playing live acoustic music. The noise level was definitely high, but this is to be expected dining at a popular restaurant during a peak weekend hour. Our waitress was cheery and attentive. We started out with the Killer Queso. Originally I was a little apprehensive about it because I remember reading about the queso being accompanied by Frito Chips which sounded a bit odd- however, when it arrived, I tasted the dish as was pleasantly surprised at how good it was! The queso was a high quality queso with some robust flavors. For my entree I got the Cadillac Mac n' Cheese. This was next-level good. It was the perfect comfort food served piping hot. The fontina cheese and breadcrumbs really hit the spot! Overall Taverna Rossa was a home run for a Saturday night meal. The food was spectacular. The service was great and it felt like a really good value for the high level of quality and generous portions. No doubt I'll be back soon to sample more of their offerings! read more

Rollsa over to Rossa Taverna for some rolled out roasted romas (tomatos, get it?). The vibe here is grand for a neighborhood pizza pub. Seasonal decor abounds for winter and fires lend to a cozy vibe. Our servers have been courteous and the food here is delicious. My husband and I like taking guests from out of town here on travel days for a low key, soul-filling meal. read more

Our waitress, Alyssa W. was awesome! Taverna is one of my fave pizza places in DFW. It's the perfect thinner crust with the right crispness to the crust, fresh dough, and quality ingredients. We found out you can get a pizza 1/2 and 1/2 of two menu options for only $1 upcharge! I got the classic Rossa with feta only as I like my pizzas a bit less cheesy. My friends tried the Local Goat, Bee's Knees, and Pink Piggy. They reported that the Local Goat was the favorite with the pairing of goat cheese, fig, and the balsamic glaze. The Pink Piggy and Bee's Knees were both delicious and tasted fairly similar with a balance of honey sweetness to some heat/ spice. My friend loves the baked rigatoni and sausage and let me try some- highly recommend! The prices are a bit high, but it is a more expensive area of town, and unless you have a huge appetite, each pizza should feed two people pretty comfortably! The place can get crowded which makes it louder if you're seated close to others, so if that's a concern, maybe ask for seating in a quieter area. The restaurant is warm and homey. Give it a try! read more

Staff and entertainment were great! The brick oven pizza was very good. We will definitely visit again.

I'm sad to write this review because I just discovered this place a few weeks ago and it is in the area I'm always in. We had come for a celebration a few weekends ago and the food was phenomenal, especially the Ceasar salad, so on my way to carpool yesterday I ran by to pick up a Ceasar salad. Wow the disappointment. I asked that the salad be tossed in light dressing with some on the side (not a fan of heavy dressing) and to add chicken. The total for this salad was $23 !!!!! And the picture below was what I got for $23. Heavy tossed dressing and no chicken. And nothing special. This is a $10 salad anywhere else. I ent back in and they had to remake it again. I told them I was going to wait in my car which was right outside the door. They didn't even bother to come out and gesture that it was ready. They let me sit there and stuck the salad in the refrigerator. There was no one in the restaurant the service could have stood out for the atrociously expensive Ceasar salad. I asked where my chicken was and then they gave it to me. I ate it very unimpressed, it wasn't the salad o remembered just weeks ago and I completely felt ripped off. Sadly, they lost a customer that would have actually been a somewhat regular with my kids and family. read more

Taverna Rossa - A WAYYYYYY overpriced Caesar Salad ... $23. - Pizza Near Me - Plano, Texas

I love trying new restaurants, and I came across this place through an Instagram reel. They have both indoor and outdoor seating, which is great when it's not too hot in Dallas. We checked in at the front desk to get our name on the list. Since we went during peak hours, they told us there might be a 15 to 30 minute wait, which was fine. We were seated in under 15 minutes! Our server was super friendly. Since it was our first time there, we asked for recommendations, and she suggested the Pink Piggy and the Bees Knees pizzas. They didn't take long at all to come out, and both were a hit! I also noticed they have Happy Hour Monday through Friday from 3 to 6 p.m., definitely something I'd come back for. On Friday night, they had live music, which added a nice touch. Even with the music, we were able to have a conversation during dinner, and overall, the place had a great vibe. read more

Hello. Yes, another late post. Hope everyone is enjoying the moments in life. In the grand scheme of time in the universe, a lifetime is just a blip. Make yours a BLIP, all caps, all joy. My BLIP travelled the distance to Plano. Pizza time. Okay, so I'm kind of a pizza snob. At my age, bites out have to be meaningful, memorable, special. Enter Taverna Rossa. It's as if Texas meets Italy. Texitalia. The ambiance is pure western, but the food, garlicky, cheese pulling, herbaceous Italian goodness. Go hungry. Yes, miss whatever meal you must, but go hungry. Order Vinnies cheese bread with marinara. It's an offer you can't refuse. More garlic than whatevers legal, but not offensive. Cheese. Cheese. Did I mention cheese? The best small bite ever. The pizza has a thick/thin crackerish feel. Almost like a thin Chicago style pie crust. Delicate and delish. The toppings all seasoned, savorlicious, stretchy pants worthy. Ask to wait for seating on the deck. I could go on forever about the moments enjoyed dining at the red tavern. Go for yourself. You did a thing to deserve some spoiling. Take someone special to say thanks for being them. Take care. Be well, be loved. Create more BLIPS. Ciao. read more

Taverna Rossa is an Italian Gastropub in Plano that has tons of drink and pizza options. I came in hoping for a great experience, but the pizza didn't impress me. My Overall Rating - 3 Stars (Atmosphere, Service, Food, Return) Atmosphere - The best part of my experience was the Taverna Rossa's restaurant itself. It's warm, rustic, and is connected to a pub. There's tons of seating, a dedicated bar, a view into the kitchen (behind glass), and even a small stage when they have live music. Taverna Rossa has beautiful white brick throughout. 1 Star. Service - We had a big party and only one server dedicated to us. While she tried her best to help, the overall service suffered. A drink order was missed, water refills didn't happen, and the table piled up with dirty plates. I don't blame the server, I just wish she had help. 1/2 Star. Food - We started with a few apps including a meat and cheese plate. The presentation was great, but instead of crostini, it was served with pizza crust. Unfortunately, I wasn't a fan. The slices were big and bland, lacking the flavor I get with other pizza places I go to. For my pizza, I went with "The Bees Knees". The description reminded me of the "Honey Badger" (served at a different joint), but the taste wasn't the same. Again, the same bland crust flavor appeared only to be overpowered by the fresh basil. On a good note, the beer selections and drink options were great, so we'll meet in the middle. 1 Star. Will I Return? - Maybe. I think I ordered the wrong pizza. While my single visit to Taverna Rossa was a miss, it's got tons of great reviews, so I think this one's on me. If I'm in the area and someone suggests it, I'm in. I just wouldn't go out of my way for another visit. 1/2 Star. read more

Excellent food! If you like crispy thin crust pizza this is the place. Interesting toppings and fantastic flavors!

First time back in probably 12 years. Came for happy hour. Our server was nice and attentive. Ordered the pizza, pretzel, penne pasta and deviled eggs. Pizza, pretzel and penne were good. Deviled eggs were just ok. Drinks were tasty. I would come back to eat their pizza. Nice and large place for a large group. read more

Had our first experience here yesterday and we really enjoyed it. My husband and I went with our friends, we got the queso and deviled egg appetizers and they got the pretzel and cheese bread. Everything devoured. I really enjoyed Fritos being served with the queso. I ordered a lg Caesar salad add shrimp which came in a bowl with tongs and looked like it could feed the table. I also ate it all, it was so good. My husband and friends got different pizza which they really loved too. Drinks were great and service was quick and friendly. read more

We've visited this location 3 or 4 times amd its been great, food and service, each time. This time we shared a 1/2 and 1/2 pizza... piggy pie and the people's pizza of the month, which December is the Santa Pie. It has a great tasting TX Sausage, which has a good kick to it, red tomatoes, basil and an Alfredo sauce. Yum! The star today was the pepperoni rolls we ordered as a appetizer.. comes with 6 large rolls. When I pulled the first roll off the plate, the mozzarella cheese stretched far. The pepperoni was delicious and the dough was flavorful. Would recommend! read more

Just wow!!! My friends and I just wanted to find a middle point to grab food, so we randomly chose this place. But the pizza exceeded our expectations. The crust was thin and crispy and the flavor just bursts in your mouth. When in doubt, just go try it for yourself. We got the Queen Margherita and The Pink Piggy. Both very good. read more

Taverna Rossa totally blew us away! The service was awesome, and they really made us feel special as first-time customers by giving us free queso. Our waiter Brayden was super friendly and on top of everything. He gave great recommendations and made the whole experience even better. The vibe here is so fun. There was awesome live music, and you could feel the energy with lots of tables laughing and having a great time. It is the perfect spot to hang out and enjoy good food with good company. We kicked things off with the Fritos and queso, and honestly, it was way more delicious than we expected. Such a fun and tasty twist. For the main event, we split a pizza with two different halves. One side was the Pink Piggy, which we both absolutely loved. It is a must-try. The other half was the monthly People's Pie. I cannot remember the exact name, but it was also really good. Love that they let you mix it up like that. I had the house cabernet, which hit the spot, and my girlfriend tried the Rossa Rita. She gave it a solid ten out of ten, so if you are into cocktails, go for it. They also have an awesome beer selection if that is more your thing. All in all, this place is amazing. Great food, drinks, and a really fun atmosphere. We will definitely be back! read more

Artisan Pizza in a big beer hall. Perfect for a family and friends hang out. Noisy, crowded, a fun place to be. A true Texas vibe. Got lucky, A parking spot right up front. It is hotter than hell today. I know what I want before we even get seated. On the sandwich board out front, a special, "Green Chili Smoked Brisket Pizza." How Texas is that? That may not meet the proper definition of a pizza. I ain't passing that up. Inside busy. A few minutes to wait and we were seated in the bar area. We started the meal with a big Warm Taverna Pretzel, while our Pink Piggy and Green Chili Smoked Brisket pizzas took a ride through the oven. That pretzel is good. Spicey mustard perfect. Queso meh, pass on that next time. A little wait time and the pizzas arrived. Check the pictures. My wife and daughter loved the Pink Piggy. I couldn't adapt to the Rosemary Honey Butter. Sweet on pizza just doesn't seem right. The Green Chili Smoked Brisket Pizza met my expectations. An unusual smokey spicey Texas pizza oddity. I liked it! The service was a little slow but adequate. The bar tender was also our server. He was loaded up keeping the beer flowing. read more

This was my first time visiting this restaurant and it was such a pleasant experience!!! Ambiance: There is medium (not too bright/dark) lighting. There is louder music and talking levels. There is plenty of seating from bar top, table/chairs, to booth seats. The staff is SOOO FRIENDLY!! They are so nice and accommodating and it made the experience so nice. Pepperoni Pinwheel: This dish was so good! It reminded me of a cinnamon roll but pizza and savory. I love how flaky and soft the bread was and how cheesy the layers within are. The pepperoni was also nice and crisp but soft as well. The ranch is just 10/10 it was so good with the pinwheel. Meat pizza: This pizza was pretty good too! There is a good flavor and plenty of meat on the pizza. The pizza crust is definitely more crispy than it is soft. But it is a good pizza for people who like a bit of crunch. read more

We order Stag salad and it perfectly dressed the ONLY complaint was that the bacon was super burned! But the dressing & the amount the put on the salad was on point. Pizza we ordered the trip something & added soppressata. It was delicious, fresh , great flavor cooked perfect. Not crazy about the dough even though it was thin which i loved, but it tasted More like naan bread . I would go back definitely, the service & food were good. read more
