    This is an attractive restaurant with a friendly staff. Parking is easy. The fried calamari were delicious, light and well-prepared. The Caesar salad was piquant and lemony with fresh Romaine and flavorful parmesan cheese. Sadly, the Margherita pizza had a crust that was quite overdone (clearly left in the oven a bit too long - much too hard/crunchy) and covered with an ordinary tomato sauce. It lacked mozzarella cheese and fresh basil which as far as we understand are the defining ingredients of a Margherita pizza - red, white, and green like the flag of Italy. Unfortunately, the spaghetti with clams disappointed as well. It was watery and bland. To sum up, our apps were good, but the entrees were not. The restaurant is attractive, parking is easy, and the wait staff quite friendly although not quite attentive enough as we waited a while for our server to ask if we were done so we could request the check.

    Very delicious! We were starving so we decided to have an early dinner tonight. We made the right choice with Taverna. Pizza was so good, it was a great choice for an appetizer.

    Sadly both of our entrees were overcooked. Salmon dry. Beef (short rib style) dry with crispy edges. Couldn’t chew it. Great flavor in vegetables and risotto though.
