With the opening of Taverna, Platinum Dining Group brings to life its highly anticipated version of the “neighborhood gathering place.” Rustic and simple in conception but well crafted and high minded in execution, Taverna brings to Newark a casual sophistication that sees reclaimed wood and exposed brick on the wall. Polished marble rest atop the overstretched bar which boasts eighteen draft beers and the state’s first ever “tapped wine” system. A seemingly humble menu is carefully considered with homemade pastas, coal-fired pizzas, and daily “features” that will bring a smile to the most discerning grandmother’s face.**A NOTE FROM THE RESTAURANT**Reservations are not required. We welcome walk-ins.Please contact us directly at 302-444-4334 , if desired reservation time is unavailable or the party size is larger than 6.

This place is absolutely the best. The people who work there are so incredibly nice and talented. The food is phenomenal. It is BYOB and some individuals (my friends) may have brought one to many bottles :) I can not say enough about how good this restaurant is in Kennett. If I could give a higher rating I would!

Enjoyed another lovely dinner with my friend at the Back Burner in the Tavern. Our Autumn Salmon Salad was delicious with perfectly cooked salmon, roasted cauliflower and butternut squash, poached apples, pomegranate seeds and pepitas. Every bite had so many flavors! As a bonus, we dined during happy hour so our glasses of wine from the tap were so reasonable! Service was just right! We will dine again soon!

We celebrated our anniversary at The House of W&M and had a memorable experience! The atmosphere as soon as you walk in the restaurant is very welcoming. The bar specialty drinks (Perfect Pear Martini👍) was a great start to an awesome dinner! One of the night’s specialty entree’s was Venison and the flavor was the best. I encourage to choose from the starter, entree, and dessert as you won’t be disappointed. Lastly, everyone on the staff was friendly and professional which completed the experience!
