    The food was excellent! Our waiter was very attentive! Love the homemade burrata appetizer. It was our daughter’s birthday and the waiter brought us a prosecco toast for. We were going to a show and he got us out in plenty of time to walk to the show. An overall excellent experience!

    Had an excellent dinner celebrating my birthday! First time at Tavernetta. I loved the vibe - very open, modern and loud enough to have your own table conversation. Service was quick and server was knowledgeable and engaged. We ordered 9 things off the menu and couldn’t pick a favorite nor a least favorite. It was all fantastic. Would recommend Tavernetta especially for a date night. Great spot!!
