Tavern on Twelve Reviews
Outstanding cuisine, atmosphere and service. A true quality dining experience.
Visited for a quick appetizer and drink before an event. We were pleasantly surprised with the transformation of the building. It is welcoming and inviting. We had great service. Our calamari and Italian sausage were great. The lemon drop and old fashion drinks were on point. We will be back for the entrees Cindy Tonelli is known for.
We have just spent a lovely evening at Tonelli’s Tavern on Twelve, sitting on the deck eating a delicious lasagna and tasty garlic bread. The service was excellent, from Lily on the reception desk to our waiter Gio who was very friendly and attentive to our needs. The atmosphere and general friendliness of all the staff was exceptional.
We will definitely be back!

Tavern on Twelve is a hidden gem and a highly recommended Italian restaurant with immaculate, cool, and swanky vibes. The welcoming space offers great service and hospitality. The food is utterly incredible, excellent, and absolutely delicious. For appetizers, the calamari, Italian sausage, and meatballs are great. The very soft house bread with a nice crust is also a highlight.
Excellent entrees include the perfect chicken piccata, the breaded chicken breast served over garlic mashed potatoes with string beans, and the pork tenderloin with peas, a white wine sauce, and potatoes. The pasta is also excellent, featuring dishes like the stuffed gnocchi with a creamy red sauce and the pesto orecchiette. The tiramisu is transcendental and indulgently heavy on the cream. Cocktails like the cucumber martini, lemon drop, and old fashioned are lovely and on point. It is definitely worth a try.
