" I was thrilled to finally check out Taverna! The reputation preceded it, and I'm happy to say it didn't disappoint. The outdoor seating was a lovely option, and we opted to enjoy dinner in the fresh air. I highly recommend the seafood linguine; it's packed with perfectly cooked shrimp and clams. The cocktails were well crafted, which added to the overall enjoyment. I left the restaurant feeling happy and satisfied, eager for my next visit. " (*Curated Review*)

" Our dinner at Taverna was a complete treat! The staff were friendly, and our waiter was knowledgeable, offering great recommendations. We started with the calamari, which was perfectly cooked and seasoned. For the main course, I tried their ravioli filled with truffle and ricotta, which was rich and creamy—just divine! I appreciated the generous portions and left feeling very satisfied. The ambiance was lively, enhanced by live music that added to the overall experience. I will definitely be back for more delicious meals! " (*Curated Review*)

" Taverna is an absolute gem! I went there with my family, and the kids really enjoyed their meals. They have a great selection for all tastes. I went with the chef's special and wasn't disappointed at all. The flavors melded perfectly, and it was clear that high-quality ingredients were used. The service staff was friendly and attentive, ensuring our drinks were filled and checking in at the right times. I highly recommend this restaurant for families looking for a cozy night out. " (*Curated Review*)

" After reading all the great reviews, my family decided to try Taverna on Division. The atmosphere was charming and reminiscent of Italy, which I loved. However, the food was inconsistent—some dishes were fantastic while others missed the mark. The eggplant parmigiana was superb, but the seafood risotto was just okay. Service was friendly, yet a bit slow. I'd give it another chance but cautiously. " (*Curated Review*)

" If you're searching for authentic Italian flavors, Taverna on Division is the place to go! The ambiance was cozy, felt like dining in a friend's home. We sampled a variety of appetizers—each one a delightful representation of traditional Italian cuisine. I especially loved the braciole, which was tender and flavorful. The service was attentive, refilling our drinks promptly without being overbearing. Overall, if you're in the area, this is a must-visit restaurant! " (*Curated Review*)

" Disappointed by my visit. The restaurant had a nice vibe, but I found the food bland, especially for a place known for its Italian cuisine. I had high hopes for the lasagna, but it felt more like a frozen dinner than a homemade dish. The service was fine, but the wait for the food was quite long. I might give it another shot simply because I believe that every restaurant has its off nights. However, I wouldn't recommend it just yet. " (*Curated Review*)

" What a dining delight! Taverna offers authentic flavors that you won’t find in many places. My favorite dish has to be their braised Lamb shank, which falls off the bone and is so flavorful. Pair it with a nice Chianti, and you have a meal worth savoring. The service was top-notch; our server was attentive but knew when to let us enjoy our dinner. Can’t praise this place enough! I would happily return every week if I could! " (*Curated Review*)
