Food 10/10 drinks 10/10 if you have all ages in your party this is a great place to dine at the domain. My party age ranged from 2 yr old to 54 and we all left feeling highly satisfied. The server was great as well we chatted about our background and community it was 10/10.

I typically don't ever leave reviews, in fact, this is probably my very first one. But that's how impressionable our service was tonight. This was our first experience at Taverna. My significant other and I wanted to grab some cocktails and head home for dinner but once our waiter Massimo, suggested some wonderful entrees we decided to give it try. The food was absolutely delicious and timely, and honestly due to the customer service we thought our meal would be about $200+, but that was just our waiter loving what he does and being very personable and knowledgeable. Upon receiving the check, massimo let us know it was a pleasure serving us and gave us his card which was such a lovely gesture because we would absolutely love him to serve us again. Thank you Taverna, and see you soon again soon Massimo!

Taverna in Austin, Texas offers a delightful culinary experience that blends Italian flair with Texan hospitality. From the moment you step in, the warm ambiance sets the stage for a memorable meal. The menu boasts a diverse selection of Italian classics, from handmade pastas to wood-fired pizzas crafted with fresh, quality ingredients. I indulged in a pizza and salad while others at the table had more traditional Italian dishes. Staff was excellent and attentive. With its inviting atmosphere and flavorful cuisine, Taverna is a great choice in Austin.

Meal was okay but service was terrible. We ordered a salad for our first course, pasta for our second, and then steaks for our third. I was very clear about the order we wanted these but the server was odd and kept asking if we wanted to add protein to the first two courses. No dude, this is a three course meal, pay attention. After he entered our order I started to worry that he didn't understand and we called him over to confirm. He said he had entered it all to come out at once (wtf? Why would anyone want that?) and he would see if he could change it. He brought out the salad and we enjoyed that. We were sharing it and I told him it wasn't necessary for the kitchen to split it when I ordered it, he could just bring the salad and two plates. He plopped the salad down and brought zero plates. We just used the bread dishes, fine. Then the steaks showed up after a long wait (during which he could have easily fixed any entry errors) and I explained that we hadn't received our second course yet. The server explained he couldn't change the timing of the orders that he had entered wrong and all of it was here at once. I said that's fine but we didn't want the second course then. He got testy and wouldn't return it to the kitchen. How does someone that works in an Italian restaurant not understand the courses of a typical meal? And why make it our problem when he entered it incorrectly after we told him twice? Train your servers better or hire ones that actually listen. There's a reason this place was half empty on a Friday night when they were hosting free live music just outside the doors. We have come here for years as well as the downtown location since they opened and we won't be back.

Solid Italian food with good drinks and very friendly wait staff. Indoor and outdoor options (weather permitting) and reservations can be made. Definitely recommend either of the focaccia bread appetizers, and the ossobuco if you like meat. Park at the nearest domain garage and you'll be pretty close, it's in the main square.

Ordered a lasagna for $23 and disappointment is an understatement for how bad it was. No flavor at all which is a shame for what they pride themselves as an “Itaian” restaurant. The only reason I gave an extra star is because of the nice waiters and atmosphere. Food is terrible and expensive for how it tastes.
The service was great, I didn't really need to ask for anything, the waitress took care of it all. The food was pretty good, especially the truffle fries. One complaint is that the focaccia bread was very thin. Not at all what I was expecting. I'd say it was closer to a pizza crust. Definitely a bit disappointing, but the olive oil and vinegar didn't disappoint, and neither did the burrata pizza

We arrived and they closed 30 minutes before their listed closing time. This place isn't reliable to receive my business as advertised. The manager was the one who told us it was closed.

Prices a bit spendy but food was delicious. Relaxed comfortable atmosphere. Our server mixed up our drink order, similar old fashions and basically said oh well....that was disappointing. Made for a fun girls night out.
