Summary: A go-to for Italian cuisine with a patio.
Taverna has become an Uptown favorite, featuring a trattoria-style décor and a welcoming patio that's perfect for al fresco dining. The menu is a hit, with the antipasti sampler being a popular start to a meal. Their wood oven-baked pizzas receive praise for their perfectly balanced crusts, especially the arugula-topped pie. While the risottos might be hit or miss, the Parmesan risotto with its creamy broth is a delight. Seafood risotto is another standout with its fresh ingredients and saffron flavor. For dessert, the Nutella pizza is a must-try, overshadowing the less impressive panna cotta. This small chain outpost has certainly made its mark by serving up comforting Northern Italian fare in a relaxed setting.
