I recently had the pleasure of dining at Endwell Taverna, and I must say, it was an exceptional experience from start to finish! The highlight of my visit was undoubtedly the food and drinks, which showcase an impressive commitment to quality and freshness.
Every dish I tried was a testament to the chef's creativity and passion for seasonal ingredients. The menu features a rotating selection that truly captures the essence of each season, making every visit a unique culinary adventure. The vibrant flavors and beautiful presentations of the dishes left me in awe. From the appetizers to the main courses, it was clear that only the freshest ingredients were used, making each bite a delightful experience.
To complement the incredible food, the drink menu was equally impressive. The cocktails crafted at Endwell Taverna are not just drinks; they are artfully made concoctions that perfectly matched the seasons. You could taste the care and quality in every sip, with ingredients that harmonize beautifully with the food.
The ambiance of the taverna made for a cozy and inviting setting, perfect for enjoying a leisurely meal. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable, always ready to recommend dishes or drinks based on our preferences.
Overall, Endwell Taverna is a gem that I highly recommend to anyone looking for a dining experience that emphasizes quality, seasonality, and creativity. I can't wait to return and see what new delights await on the menu!

Excellent food. 3 of us had different pasta choices, all good. Loved my pesto dish. The chicken somethin sandwich was not a big hit with 4th person, but the bread was good. The burrata app was yum. Kinda loud, hard to talk. Overall very good!

This is now my favorite pizza place. Great atmosphere, clean and simple interior design.
The New York Sour drink is delicious!
The rice ball appetizer is breaded with cheese inside and really good.
We had 3 different pizzas:
They are about 10 inches in diameter & are perfectly light & easy to eat!
Cheese Pizza - cheese, red sauce and delicious dough cooked Perfectly. Kid favorite! My 8 year almost ate the whole thing.
Margherita - Light cheese, tomato and basil Very flavorful and the thinner crust makes it light to eat.
Shrimp - if you like Garlic butter shrimp? This pizza will blow your mind! The BEST shrimp pizza I’ve ever had.
We will be back again… and again…

Fantastic drinks with quality ingredients! The food was amazing! Fried chickpeas, Italian beef and Chicken Riggie was soooo good! The only issue is that this place is so popular that you may have to wait; a good problem for this establishment.

Our waitress was stellar, the food seemingly quite authentic. Ingredients seemed high quality, pasta tastes homemade. This place is not your average Italian restaurant and is frankly quite excellent. I am very pleased to find this level of quality in Columbia.

This place has great Italian food and a fabulous drink menu. Try the Milano Mule... awesome... Lots of choices and at a reasonable price. Great pizza too.
My partner and I love going out to eat and I really wanted to find a good Italian spot. I saw Endwell as one of the first recommendations and immediately wanted to try it because of the super cute aesthetic! We came in at around 8:00 and we were sat within a few minutes. Our server Bella was first and foremost perfectly attentive and also literally the sweetest and best server I have EVER had!! We were so pleased with how quickly our food came out and how beautiful everything was. Our cocktails were SO good, I loved the Blushing Bellini!! We got the Aracini for an appetizer and were in heaven. The Margherita pizza had the perfect amount of toppings and the CRUST!!! So flakey, thin, and definitely wood fire made. This was one of my favorite meals and one of the best dining experiences of my life, and I am so excited to come back and try more!!!

Wanted something not marinera, & I hate pizza. ? had the cavatelli & it did NOT disappoint! I also ordered warm olives ? & tiramisu. Everything was super good! Not a vegetarian, but if you’re looking for mushrooms pasta, ? the Cavatelli is where it’s at! I also had a Bellini, kickass! The staff seems to have to warm up to you. They seem a bit stand offish unless you’re kind of a familiar face. The Thursday bartender is really nice & accommodating.

Only knock is that it’s tough to get in. Sometimes have a wait but if it’s just you, then you generally can sit at the bar and it’s quick.
Just wish I could enjoy it more with more people

Can I do 6 stars? Definitely underrated, this place is next level in Columbia. Pasta is wild, pizza was so fresh and wonderful. The roasted olives were killer. Take your significant other here for a date!
I love the mushroom pizza. I do recommend ordering by phone because wait time can be a little long. The restaurant is clean and staff is friendly. I have ordered the spicy wings and the second they they came out a little undercooked, but I told the manager and my 3 order was perfect. I give them 5/5 over all.

We had an absolute delightful time and the food was incredibly delicious. Get the mushroom pizza with their Italian sausage. You will not be sad. I also had, oh I forget what it’s called, the sandwich that starts with an M. Delish!!! Top that off with some tiramisu and it was a Homerun all the way around. Our server was on point all the time. I would ike to come back for drink sometime. I highly recommend!

As a former NY transplant I can appreciate the food made here, although I can cook many italian dishes it is so nice to get out and see this in Columbia. The pizza is great, I tried the Empire State sandwich, I have to go back for another one I shared it with my daughter, lol . I want my own. It was amazing, pasta is nice and fresh very much enjoyed it.
