10/10 italian food. The atmosphere and service was spectacular. We really enjoyed our drinks and the pastas were delicious. Would definitely recommend for a girls night!

This restaurant is BS. We just spent $103 for gnocchi, ravioli, focaccia and burrata salad. The prices of these dishes vs the quantity almost made us laugh if it wasn't our dinner for the night. You're really going to charge $26 for short rib gnocchi that didn't even fill half of a small plastic to-go container? The burrata salad was $19 and was just a ball of burrata on tomatoes. I wouldn't write a bad review if the dishes were absolutely packed with flavor but they weren't at all. What is the deal with this pretentious place?
Went for a birthday the service was amazing the nice man that waited on us could not have done a better job from the recommendations to how he handled the birthday cake and deserts for us. It was definitely a good time! We will be coming back!

Made a 6:30 reservation for Tuesday night. Told the waiter we were seeing a show at 8pm at ACL Live next door. Drinks, apps, salad and main course orders were put in. At 7:45 pm, we had not received main course. Finally canceled the main course at 7:55 pm so we could make it across the street for the show. We waited about 35 minutes after the salad before canceling the dinners. Were met with a lot of disdain even though we were sitting at the table for a full 1.5 hours. Meals were making their way out when we left the restaurant...they looked pretty good. Went to bed hungry. As an aside, this was the only place in 5 blocks with open reservations before a big show at ACL - should have been a hint.
They were going to see us at a table where the chair was mangled and ripped. Asked for a different table. They got us one. The service was very, very, very slow and we told him we're going to a show. Lacking overall.

Meatballs were amazing. Service was so great! Best old fashioned I've ever had.

Very cool place with light, flavorful, and fresh food. Service was awesome, and the atmosphere felt very fun and refined. Definitely going back to try more dishes.

My chicken was raw, food and service took forever, while the atmosphere was cute it was a really disappointing experience.

We reserved a table in the Baci Room, which turned out to be perfect for us. It wasn't nearly as loud as the remainder of the restaurant. The vibe was more loungelike. The service was excellent. We had the meatballs (5 stars), the chopped salad (5 stars), the bruschetta (5 stars), and the tonarelli cacio e pepe, which was pretty flavorless. Overall, the evening was lovely. I just wouldn't order that pasta dish again. In the ladies bathroom, the combination of the faucet design and the angle of the sink are not compatible. The water comes out very powerfully, overflows the front of the sink and jets toward the person washing their hands. If you aren't quick on your feet, you could end up getting soaked.
Went for my first Valentine's Day with my girlfriend and had a great time. The waiter was very attentive, and the food was excellent. We went because we heard they had the cacao e pepe dish (pasta that gets mixed in a cheesewheel) and it was a slam dunk, but there's plenty else we'd like to try on the next trip

My wife and I decided on a Valentines Day lunch instead of all the fuss of dinner. Taverna provided an excellent atmosphere and delicious food that fit the bill perfectly. Service was very attentive and the food came hot. Definitely recommend you give this spot a try!

The best part of this place is the location. We came here to dine before a concert with the hope that we could dine in the bar -have an appetizer and get over to ACL quickly. Unfortunately, the food was cold when we received it and it took much longer than expected. overall, I think this is a nice place to stop and get a drink. However, if you're expecting to abide any sort of timeline, I suggest going elsewhere. 
Sat outside on the patio (covered and there are heat lamps on the perimeter). Didn't care for my bland cacio e Pepe but my husband had the off-menu chicken parm and that was very good. Zucchini chips app was just ok-not sure if they were supposed to be room temp but they were. Wish they brought out bread before the meal but none offered at any time.

Food was great, service was excellent and we appreciated the tips on favorite dishes from our waiter. The only real bummer was that our bill was WRONG, we were double billed for most of our items and it took a quarter of an hour to get that straightened out, missed the start of our show at the venue across the street.
