Local Goat & Fig on GF crust
Melissa C.

We stopped in at happy hour and appreciated the relaxed bar atmosphere and solid service. My partner and I shared an order of "always changing" deviled eggs that came with bacon and BBQ sauce. They were very tasty. We also shared a goat & fig pizza on the vegan GF crust. The crust wasn't as crisp as we'd have preferred, but the combination of flavors was good. Next time we visit we'll try the cauliflower crust.

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.

TX Shrimp  Buffalo Style

$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.

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!

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.

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!

Great service and food! We got the pink piggy and it was really good! We mainly came here for dessert but ended up leaving super stuffed because the menu sounded too appetizing. I recommend the blueberry lemon martini and the prickly pear mule for drinks!

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!

A WAYYYYYY overpriced Caesar Salad ... $23.
Liza K.

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.

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.
