Tav Gnocchi & Pizza Bar

Over priced for low quality Italian food

They hardly put any toppings on the pizza and charge so much

We went to this restaurant with high hopes, but overwhelmingly disappointed with the quality of the food.

We ordered the following items from the menu.

1. Bruschetta Classic - I have never had this type of bruschetta before and I am not sure which part of Italy it is coming from. Over powered by Balsamic vinegar and Parmesan. Definitely not a fun.

2. Fjore - When you promise fresh Burrata, you have got to serve it. It was no where close to fresh as the soft part in the inside was curdled and it tasted nothing. It was more like soft taste of mozzarella.

3. Prosciutto Bianca - it was a good pizza and we loved it. Totally recommend it.

Service wasn’t great either, there was no table visit nor they asked if we liked the food or if we needed anything or even for allergies.

Last week, during a business trip, my colleague and I found this gem. The food was exceptional, and the ambiance was delightful. Our server's recommendation of Penne a la Calabrese paired with Primitivo wine was spot-on. A definite five-star experience worth revisiting.

Had a great time at the restaurant. Food and service was great. My only feedback is where the tables are set up at the back it gets really loud with staff prepping and chatting and it was a bit distracting to concentrate on my friends talking. I won't sit there next time. The loud music playing was mega boring and didn't match the vibe of everyone in the resto. Great food, great service - will come back again.

We had a reservation and came a few minutes late (but still well within the 15 minute grace period) and we had to wait 40 minutes to be seated. It looks like they made a mistake giving our seats away and as a result tried to put us out onto the empty patio, even though our reservation was for indoor seating. While I love a good patio and granted this one was semi-covered, it was not ideal to sit outside in 10 degree weather in heavy windy rain. We made the right decision as no one else sat on the patio during our time here.This was a masterclass in bad service. This is especially disappointing as I’ve been to Trattoria Taverniti (the non expansion side) next door and really enjoyed it.

Went here for dinner on saturday April 27th, We ordered the parm chicken and the penne ala vodka with guanciale. The guanciale is American smoked bacon, it tasted like a McDonald’s McGriddle. I asked the server to confirm with the kitchen that it’s guanciale. She said they confirmed it is. So my fiancé I paid so as to not potentially be accused of wanting free things. After we paid I asked another waiter to ask for the packaging as proof. Conveniently they didn’t have a package. So they showed me their 1/4 size pan filled with chopped bacon. Feel ripped off and made to feel stupid. Very annoyed. If I wanted bacon pasta I would have made it at home.

Yummy pastas but nothing to write home about. Good hearty Italian food. Would return but wouldn’t necessarily rush back.

I used to love Tav's before but now that is part of Taverniti, the menu and the quality has completely changed! Value for money is bad as I payed a lot for low quality Italian food. I miss the old Tav's...
