Taverna Reviews
Just love this restaurant! Food is amazing... when I'm coming to Jacksonville always make my reservation in advance. Can be busy especially on Saturday night!
It was very good. Enjoyed it all especially our server Bruce. Absolutely amazing. I enjoyed my meal so thanks to the chefs as well.
Best bolognese in town hands down. Great service, ambiance and food.

Customers recommend trying the filet mignon, scallops, salmon, or the highly-recommended beet salad. For dessert, the decadent crème brûlée or homemade ice cream sandwich are popular choices.

The restaurant is known for using high-quality ingredients, and the flavors are often described as perfect. The scallops and risotto are particularly praised, although the risotto can sometimes be slightly underdone. The truffle fries are also very good, but the protein added to the pasta dishes may not always be prepared properly. The filet is a popular choice and is said to be delicious. The restaurant has a special event room, but it can be quite loud, which may be a concern for some guests.
