Taverna is a warm and inviting neighborhood restaurant that offers a truly Italian experience without having to leave Texas. Our Italian chefs strive to create the perfect menu using seasonal ingredients for their surprising entrees; every day we present a variety of northern Italian delights from simple comforts such as pan seared sea bass to delicate pasta and fabulous risotto.Risotto is indeed our flagship dish. We only use Carnaroli rice – the “king of the rice”; thanks to its particular characteristics and firm texture the Carnaroli grain maintains its shape during the slow cooking required for a perfect and creamy risotto. Our broad offering includes truffle oil and Parmigiano risotto, bay scallops with home made pesto and an inspired Vin Santo risotto with asparagus and prosciutto.A taverna in Italy is a special place where customers become friends and family. Here we celebrate the essence of hospitality and farm-to-table cooking reflecting our authentic Italian style.

    Taverna is always excellent, and tonight was no exception. The chopped salad was good, and the Salamino pizza 🍕 was very good. Our waitress was also very good. Banshee is an excellent Pinot Noir. All in all a very pleasant evening.

    We are frequent steak house dinners in the DFW area, and our experience at III forks last night has reset the bar for our expectations. The meal was absolutely phenomenal! My strip was tender and perfectly seasoned and cook to perfection, the same goes for the ribeye my wife ordered. All of the sides were yummy as well, the corn and mashed potatoes are the perfect classic pairing for our protiens. Our server Brandt was awesome, he was prompt, informative and gave great suggestions on our meals, and supurbly accommodated any requests we have. He is an phenomenal example of the service i have come to expect from a fine dining establishment. To top off a wonderful meal since it was my wifes birthday, he brought out a compliment drink and dessert for the occasion. That dessert was WONDERFUL. Overall, this will definitely be our new "Go-too" for date nights and celebrations!
