    My friend and K really enjoyed Linger! We ordered the pork belly bao, sweet fries, and charred edamame for a shared dinner. All of the food was packed with flavor and delicious. She ordered an old fashioned and I ordered the Thai tea cocktail. She enjoyed her old fashioned and said it was very orange forward, I was unfortunately not a fan of my cocktail but I think only because of personal preference. Overall I still would give it a 5/5. Ambiance was great but it was a tad loud. Looking forward to going back and trying more things!

    We recently celebrated my wife’s birthday at Tavernetta and it was an unforgettable experience. The highlight of the evening was the pasta with lobster—perfectly cooked and brimming with flavor. It was a dish to savor with every bite. The ambiance was warm and inviting, making it an ideal spot for a special occasion being my wife’s birthday. The staff were attentive and friendly. Great suggestion made for our first time here! If you’re looking for authentic Italian cuisine with a touch of elegance, Tavernetta is a fantastic choice. We’ll definitely be back!
