    Spectacular service and inspired, delicious food Four of us dined at Tavernetta and shared everything, Everything was delectable, and here are a few of our favorites. The ravioli - melted in your mouth Pasta al forno - was gnocchi baked with several different cheese, a treat that was both light and had substance Bronzino - beautifully presented and cooked perfectly The service was sooo good - wait staff described dishes with complete food and preparation knowedge, and steered us to the right number of dishes to order. All the servers were gracious, personable, and always available without hovering. We will definitely be back.

    Great experience. It took a total of 35 minutes for arriving, ordering, getting apps, getting entrees, and paying. Service was great and the ambience was lively for Valentine’s Day. The only thing to consider is value. It’s not high in value and prices could be higher than other places for similar dishes, however, it was very well executed and absolutely worth a try. I’ll go back to confirm if this was a one-off but highly unlikely. It was so good!
