It's a great place to go for a date for drinks and food unless it gets cold outside, then the owner encourages customers to smoke their cigarettes indoors and even joins them for a break

Taverna, is one of the best italian restaurants we've been to in a long time! From the great outdoors seating and the delicious baked clams, stuff mushrooms & chicken wings to start with...we found out from Jennifer, the owner who's is so welcoming there is entertainment on the weekends! The entertainment was great as we were eating outside.. our dinners were great from Gnocchi, Filets,and chicken dishes ! Wonderful dining experiences!!

The food and service were very good but when the bill came we were charged $2.00 more per entrees than the printed menu. When I talked to the owner she asked if I read the end of the menu that said. Prices might go up, or something to that extent. She said it's too expensive to reprint a paper 8X10 sheet of non laminated office paper. I consider this a deceptive business practice. They only have 15 or so printed menus, buy a printer with all the extra money you made by overcharging $2.00 per item X 100 guests on one Saturday $400-$600
Were not talking 50 cents, it was $2.00 per item. This is not Hospitality, it's not honest.
Just charge whatever you want to charge and make sure the menu matches the bill. Honestly is the best policy Thanks We would love to come back when you correct your menu.

Stopped here spur of the moment for a late night family meal. Overall we enjoyed the experience. A large variety of food options and everything was good. Service was great. Parking is limited but available.

First off the reason for the 1 star has nothing to do with the Food. The Food itself is good for the most part. The reason for the 1 star is the fact of the Attitude from the People that own the restaurant. I have been coming to this Restaurant for yrs now but have to say I am DONE with it. A few weeks back as my G/F and I went in to dine were greeted by a worker who had to get permission to seat us because of a Big party they had coming in that night. The most IGNORANT thing to me to say to a customer is, you have to eat and be out by a certain time. Giving us a certain amount of time to eat is VERY Ignorant and really shows the class of the owners to say such a thing to a customer. In this case it would have been more appropriate to say sorry but we are closed tonight because we have a Party that reserved the whole restaurant and I would have accepted that. I gave them the benefit of the Doubt and accepted their stipulation. Now I have tried to make a reservation on the Phone and was greeted by a gentleman first who said that he doesn't know because they do get packed at the time (6:00 PM) we wanted and then proceeds to put us on hold to then have Jennifer get on the Phone and here again, telling my G/F the same Ignorant remark that we have to come in at 5:30 but have to eat and be out by 7:00. I want to know, who in the Hell do they think they are? First off you are in Melrose Park , 2nd your Food is not 5 star to have an attitude like you do and make us feel like you are doing us a favor or we are 2nd class citizens, and 3rd, here is a Piece of advice, start treating your customers with respect because the old saying is, Restaurants with Great customer Service last Forever but Restaurants that are so-so end up closing their doors and let me tell you Jeniffer that, with your attitude you are the type that will eventually be closing your doors..Not that it matters to them but I will never step a mother foot in their Establishment again.

Absolutely awful. Let's start by saying if you love drowning yourself in second hand smoke and god damn awful Italian food then this is your spot. Came there last night with my boyfriend for dinner and omg. It was like a smokers meet up. Absolutely crazy. I left with a headache and extremely dissapointed with the food. The food was just so bad, like the chef wasn't even trying. Got a pasta vodka and the pasta was under cooked the sauce was tasteless. Will definitely never be coming back here
Food was good. Very tasty. Price are high, higher then most and meals don't come with salad or soup. My Chicken Parm was $28 served with a small side of pasta. My lower rating came from our waitress situation. Very tall lady maybe Russian couldn't tell exactly. She made us feel like we were a bother that we came in. She was short spoken, not very attentive and came off rude like she was doing us a favor waiting on our table. Her tip reflected as such. My advise is to have her put a smile on her face, welcome guests with a positive cheerful manner and come off as she cares. She ruined our whole experience. I will not be dining there anytime soon.
