Wonderful service from Nita. Not only was she attentive, but she took care of us with patience and care. Bright young lady who is a true embodiment of customer service. We were a big party, and she treated us with the utmost kindness in the midst of chaos from the kids in the party. Highly recommend this restaurant for anyone looking for genuine service paired with good food. read more

Went for their happy hour. Such a great experience! Chisholm was our server and she was so attentive and friendly. She really made the hour very happy. The food was outstanding. We had the pretzel and pizza. Everything tasted so fresh and delicious! This is our new happy hour place!!! read more

This place is amazing. It's a classy pizza/pasta bar without the price tag. They had music playing but it wasn't loud. Again, very upscale. This was our first visit and although I do not have pictures please trust that the Lushrus pizza was very good. I tried ranch on my pizza for the first time (don't judge). It was actually good. Did find out that the location makes their own ranch. Not only they have happy hour until 6pm but another one at 9pm-close. Our server and bartender, Tori was amazing. I was tired so I asked her to fix me any speciality cocktail and she brought over an old fashioned. How did she know? she was a kindred spirit woman who just knew what I like. So if you are in the neighborhood, definitely go by and sit at the bar and ask if Tori is working. She will not disappoint. One of the best servers I have had in a while and especially in the Dallas area. read more

I haven't been here in a while, but my recent lunch experience was 5/5. First, yes, the prices have gone up, the lunch special is now $16 and I had a two dollar addition on my salad, I'm not sure why, the extra charge wasn't clear to me on the menu. My server Ivye was very attentive and on top of drinks/ taking care of the table and I enjoyed the thin crust and flavors of the Texas Heat and salad. We enjoyed sitting in the patio and having a no rush, fresh lunch. Recommend stoping in for the rotating pizza flavor specials. read more

First time dining here, and it definitely didn't disappoint. We came during happy hour and ordered two Build-Your-Own pizzas (3 toppings for $10 each), cheese bread, and deviled eggs--all at happy hour prices. For one of the pizzas, I chose chicken, arugula, and goat cheese, which turned out to be a great combination. I also ordered the shrimp pesto rigatoni, which I enjoyed very much. The only downside was the large lemon slices mixed into the dish, which I found myself having to move aside while eating because the rind tasted bitter. The cheese bread was decent but nothing particularly memorable. The deviled eggs, however, were very good--the potato chip topping added a nice crunch and texture that complemented the dish well. The service was outstanding. Our server checked on us regularly without being intrusive and made sure everything was to our liking. The restaurant offers both semi-outdoor seating and an air-conditioned dining room with a cozy, inviting atmosphere. I'd gladly return to try more items from the menu. Hopefully next time I'll remember to take photos--I completely forgot during this visit! read more

So I'm a huge fan of Taverna Rosa in Plano and was super excited when I learned they're the same! The menu put a huge smile on my face.... I ordered my normal pizza, pepperoni, sausage, anchovies, onions, mushrooms, green olives extra cheese. Same with sis she ordered the Pineapple, ham, onions and red peppers. I wanted to ordered a salad to split but learned they didn't have Italian dressing or any red wine vinegar. Ugggggh. Oil and vinegar on a salad is my absolute fave! The pizza's were just like we remembered. Delicious. Tasty. Fresh ingredients. I just love a good pizza with anchovies. It adds to the overall flavor. A turnoff off for most but a must have for me! Service was impeccable! Friendly with a warm smile. Happy Dance all the way out the door! read more

This is our family spot for all celebrations. It is truly delicious every single time we come here. I highly recommend the Pink Piggy pizza, queso and chips and the pepperoni pinwheels. Their ranch is absolutely delicious as well. Service is top tier even when it's busy and they keep it very clean. The lightening is warm and inviting. The patio is great in the spring and fall! read more

Hello Yelpers. Hope your Sunday was refreshing and restful. We could all use more energy before a new week begins. Today, a drive to fancy schmancy Southlake. Truly a gem of a little burb that seems bigger than it is. Um, a Lambo Urus Suv was in the parking lot, if that indicates how nice this area is. Noice. Pizza time! Taverna Rossa. Yes, a nice name. But this time, the service, the food is somewhat elevated above even the fancy sounding name. Not always the case, but here, yep, this is the spot for truly great pie. Try Uncle Vinnys garlic bread. Great appetizer, delicious marinara sauce. Hold back though, save room for the pizza. We ordered the American. The bacon, smokey. The italian sausage was flavorful. Nothing was amiss. The service has a round robin effect where there is someone checking to make sure everything is as you hope for, but not so much as to be intrusive. They do go the extra mile to make you smile. Take care. Tomorrow's Monday and this retirement isn't going to enjoy itself. Gotta rest up for a lot of booing my TV along with the crowd watching the Spurs play the NY Knickerbockers and you-know-who said he may show up. Yes... him. How is it we all know who I'm talking about, without saying it? Till next time, want to enjoy a pizzamind? Hit up Taverna Rossa. TexItalian at its peak. read more

Came here and it happened to be happy hour. Our server was very sweet. I got the pretzel and queso dip. The pretzel was on the harder overcooked side, not soft and fluffy. The queso was very good though. The pizza on happy hr is a good deal and it was delicious. I got a mocktail and it was delicious. Would come back here for happy hr again! read more

I'm a really big fan of Taverna Rossa, even though they no longer have risotto on their menu (which was my favorite). BUT they still have lots of gluten free options as far as pizza and pasta, even a gluten free fudge brownie dessert. Mhmm.. On my recent visit I enjoyed a small caesar salad (without croutons) and their pesto pasta with grilled shrimp and veggies. Everything was excellent. The salad was super fresh and green and crunchy with tons of cheese, and their Caesar dressing is deliciously tangy. The pesto sauce on the pasta was super creamy and flavorful (made with walnuts), and the squash and peppers were cooked perfectly al dente. The shrimp was fantastic as well... not dry or chewy at all. Alongside a glass of Barbera (Italian red wine), I pretty much had the perfect lunch. Plus my bartender and the manager were both so kind and clearly care about their customers. read more

Honestly, I really love this place. Taverna Rossa was amazing -- the pizza was seriously that good. I ended up finishing an entire Margherita pizza by myself because I just couldn't stop eating it. It is a bit heavy on the wallet, but honestly worth it for the quality. Service was great and reliable, and the ambiance was perfect -- especially on a hot summer day. read more

came here for happy hour, and i think it was definitely worth it. honestly, the worst part about this place is the parking situation. We ended up getting the BYO Pizza which came with 3 toppings. We also got a salad, kids pizza+drink and meatballs, all for under 40 bucks before tip and tax. The pizza was simple (cheese, sausage and tomatoes) My son definitely enjoyed the pizza... but then again, name 1 person who doesn't like pizza? lol meatball carried a lot of flavor and it comes with bread which is nice to dip in the sauce. as for the kid pasta, it was very simple and plain. There is seating outside or inside. Service was great. bathroom was clean. What's not to like? read more

This place gets five stars for the Monte Cristo Pizza alone...absolutely phenomenal!! Please never take it off your menu. lol The service and overall vibe are great, too, which makes it one of our go-to brunch spots. We do tend to avoid it when there's live music, only because the sound really bounces around inside and gets a bit too loud to enjoy a conversation. That said, it never stops us from coming back for our favorites. The Monte Cristo is always a must, but we've tried a few other pizzas as well and have never had a bad meal here. Consistently delicious food, friendly staff, and a lively atmosphere...can't ask for much more. read more

Taverna Rossa is a nice restaurant where you can come for a date night, a meal with family, or going out with friends. The first time that I came I wasn't too impressed with the green chile mac & cheese pizza but this next time after ordering something new, my expectations were blown away. We ordered the queen margherita pizza with the gluten free crust and the chicken parmesan pasta and everything was AMAZING. The pizza was cooked to just the right crisp with a very flavorful sauce, and the chicken parmesan had a perfectly cooked chicken with cheese on top and a delicious chicken alfredo pasta with 2 pieces of bread. The cooks were on it that night! Not only was our food amazing but our waiter did his job extremely well and was very personable. It was a 10/10 service and we will definitely be coming back! read more

I was enjoying my salad and I looked down and there was a cricket in my salad. The server, who was amazing, came over and took my salad. The manager, male, came over and asked if I wanted another salad and said obviously we won't charge you. I said absolutely not and he walked off. My husband went and talked to him and the female manager came over and comped our food. Everyone was WONDERFUL, besides him! We wanted to pay for our drinks because those were great and we wanted to tip our server. We love this place. Come here often. It's sad that their compensation for finding an insect in their food is giving you the same item or saying "we will obviously comp it." Anyways, check your salad. They served my husband the same salad mix moments after this happened.... Umm no thanks! read more

Taverna Rossa - A cricket in my salad! - Pizza Near Me - Southlake, Texas

Went here on a Saturday night around 5pm. It was busy, but we were seated immediately, which was awesome! We were brought upstairs to this little loft area, which felt....like we were being punished. Now we were only a 2 top, so I can understand that they may not have a spot or wanted us to take up a 4-top on a Saturday night, but it felt...CRAMPED up there. This place really does seem fun, but it was very hard to enjoy it up in the attic... As far as the restaurant, it was very clean and well kept, no issues with how everything looked. Nothing was really out of place, although it did feel like the upstairs was a storage area. We ordered the Killer Queso for an appetizer, which was served with fritos. Odd choice for fritos, but hey, all good, didnt take away from the appetizer. What took away from the appetizer was the fact that this felt like it was heated up from a can. The cheese was not really seasoned well and it was already clumpy, like it had been left out for a while. Then we ordered 2 pizzas; The Bees Knees (spicy red sauce, hot soppressata, fresh moz, basil, honey) and Local Goat & Fig (bacon, goat cheese, free moz, dried figs, balsamic glaze, basil). Here is where I continue to say that pizza is a very opinionated meal, so your taste may differ, but this was my take. Flavor was there, I liked the pizza, it had a nice crispy crust, however, as far as the bee's knees, there was no spicy that pizza at all, like zero heat. The Goat & Fig was good, like the flavors they put on that pizza. The crust did lack some flavor and could have used some olive oil maybe. There was a nice crispy to the crust, like I said, but ZERO crisp on the bottom of it, which is odd. they had a nice wood fired oven (at least I think it was wood, hard to tell from the attic). So you thin they could get a nice bottom, but hey, it is what it is. Drinks. Had a OB Hef and also a Prickly Pear Mule, both were DIVINE, best part of the evening! Staff. Well, lets just say, she started off like she was going to be fun, but really felt like we were annoying her to have been seated up there. I could understand with having to walk up and down a narrow staircase with food and drinks. She must have passed us 5-6 times and we had not touched any more of our pizza. She finally did bring us a box for it. Overall, price was not bad, the drinks were awesome, the service was meh and the meal was meh. I think that this place could be KILLING IT, and maybe it was just an off night, perhaps we will try it again with a bigger party to see how it is. read more

It has been a while, but in the past I have enjoyed their crunchy thin crust pizzas. My last visit must have been an off day. I was shopping in the area and stopped in after the lunch rush. The restaurant was mostly empty. My waitress Chisholm, was very nice. However, the pizza was a bit disappointing. The toppings were skimpy and the crust was whimpy. It was crunchy on the perimeter but floppy everywhere else. Also there was so much flour on the bottom of it that I ended up a powdery mess, and it really affected the flavor. read more

Came here on a whim for lunch after an appointment in Southlake, and I'm so happy I did! There is ample seating both inside and outside, I recommend the patio if it's a nice day like today. I ordered the lunch special, which includes an individual pizza, salad and fountain drink, which was perfect for a midday meal. I decided to stick with classics, Caesar salad and queen Margherita pizza. Both were good, however, I'd like to be more adventurous next time, (especially after trying the ranch dressing, i definitely want to try that on a salad next). Service was some of the most attentive and kind I've had in a long time! My server, Krissy P and the others were NEXT level, I would come back just for that! I really appreciate it because sometimes eating alone can have servers not be so attentive towards you...the staff here made me feel very 'seen' and welcomed, plus they seemed like they enjoy their work place. My drink was never empty, my food arrived quickly and I was not rushed at all. I would love to come back and bring some friends with me, there's something on the menu for everyone! read more

Decent pizza, but nothing spectacular! Ambiance & Service: Stopped by late on a Friday--no wait. Spacious and comfortable inside, with a cozy fireplace. Service was friendly and quick! Food: - Margherita Pizza: Thin, cracker-like crust was nice, but the tomato sauce lacked flavor. Could've used more mozzarella, but the garlic was a nice touch. TL;DR: Cozy spot with friendly service. Pizza was just okay--good crust but lacked flavor. read more

We got the wings for our appetizer, they were amazing! Has a great kick to it. We then got the Green Chile Mac & Cheese & the Local goat & Fig (instead of bacon, I did sausage) They were both amazing! Mac & Cheese was super cheesy & although, I think they went incredibly light on the sausage (half of my pizza seemed to not have the sausage) the pizza was still so good! The goat & fig is a great mix of sweet & savory if you're into that! And best of all, our server Emma was absolutely amazing! So kind, patient, & attentive! She made our evening all the more such a sweet one. read more

We had a group of 14 going to lunch (13 separate checks) and someone recommended Taverna Rossa in Southlake. We did let them know before we came, the group arrive at 11:30 so we beat the rush but expected the size of the group would complicate the food delivery and service. I was wrong our server Krissy P, was very efficient with water, additional beverages and checking for any appetizers. We ordered everything from the lunch specials, full size pizza, sandwiches and salads. The kitchen worked their magic and everything came out fairly quickly and most importantly with all the special requests taken care of without a slip-up. When this group goes out to eat together we expect something will slip through the cracks, between the large group and the normal dietary restrictions. Not at Taverna Rossa everything was delicious. Water, tea and soft drinks were refilled without asking (thanks again Krissy) and she brought take away boxes for those wanting to take their pizza and sandwiches home. Atmosphere was great for a large group at lunch, food was excellent and Krissy made it easy from special orders, (we had a few first timers in the group), to refills to getting all the checks out with the correct charges. This group likes to try different places in the area but we may make it back to Taverna Rossa on a more regular basis. read more

This place started out seriously bad at lunch. No hostess, no instructions, just us and another large party awkwardly loitering at the hostess stand. We waited... and waited... and then waited some more. I even tried the universal 'I'm lost in IKEA' move of waving someone down--still nothing. Eventually, I took matters into my own hands and marched through the dining room to demand assistance. A staffer confidently said, 'No way you've been waiting 10 minutes.' Sir, yes, we absolutely were. Finally, we got a table and, thank goodness, we scored Ivan as our waiter. Ivan deserves a raise, a promotion, and maybe even a statue in his honor. He was fast, attentive, and made sure we had waters, refills, and everything else. Basically, he salvaged this experience. We ordered the lunch special--an incredible deal at $13 for a salad, pizza, and drink. Hubby went for the Thanksgiving Pizza Pie, and I braved the Pink Piggy, which had just the right kick of spice. Even the salads were better than expected. Without Ivan, this would've been a total dumpster fire of an experience, but thanks to him, it's a solid thumbs-up. Pro tip: request Ivan, and maybe pray the hostess doesn't call out sick that day! read more

I cannot get enough of this place. My boyfriend and I visit at least 2 times a month. The staff is always on point, the house Chardonnay is my favorite, and the food can't be beat. Personally I enjoy the farmhouse salad (so fresh!), the meatball appetizer, or the tomato soup. I have never been disappointed here! read more

We only waited 15 mins for our table. Our server was a sweet heart. I would say get the cheesy bread ONLY if you have more than 4 (fully) grown people. They serve 3 long slices of bread! I highly recommend the meatball Sandwich. The meatballs were perfectly seasoned with rosemary. It was HUGE. Enough for two people possibly. read more

This place gives- American twist on Italian- in a good way! The food was so delish! We ordered a few appetizers- meatballs, buffalo shrimp, deviled eggs and mushrooms. All the food was yummy. My coworkers ordered the lunch special, you get a personal pizza and salad! I got the tomato basil soup and it was very good. We sat outside so I didn't get a good view of the inside but it was nice atmosphere on the patio. They had fans to help circulate the air. Our server was very attentive and continued to fill our water when we ran low. I will be going back again! read more

Shout out to your management team!! For my birthday my Family took me out to my favorite pizza place, however that evening also just happened to be over a number of graduating parties. The management staff was so kind to quickly find a solution And for my birthday group. They were able to find me a table, they even sent over a birthday treat and took care of my entire family with wonderful service that evening. Thank you, Taverna Rossa Southlake for being so kind to me and my family! read more

We have been customers since the place opened. It was great, then went through a period when it wasn't so good, then good again. We visited two weeks ago and was very disappointed. They have changed the crust on the pizza. It is like a thick soft cracker instead of the thin bubbly with a little char pizza we are used to. We have had our share of pizza from Italy, Chicago, New York and even Detroit. I know when a crust has been changed. This one tastes like and appears to be premade, not made in the restaurant. It tasted stale and did not complement the toppings. Service was good as usual and drinks were fine...but we came for the pizza and it will be hard to come back with that cardboard crust. read more

I have the sneaking suspicion that management has recently changed. We came a little before 2pm and were seated to a mostly empty dining room. No one noticed us (I would go as far to say they were actively avoiding eye contact with us), so we sat for 15 minutes before leaving unserved. Super glad we made the 40 minute trip for nothing! Please don't waste your own time coming here - they clearly no longer care. read more

Unbeknownst to me, Taverna Rossa boasts more than just their well-known pizza...but also a diverse selection of appetizers and seasonal cocktails sure to delight.
