• Italian • Plano

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.

Good food but service was mediocre. Waiter got mia for long time, no water poured, then he dropped a drink on someone and took even more time waiting for him to clean up

Our waiter was great he took time to give us recommendations from the menu and answer questions. It was fairly quiet and we were able to enjoy our meal and have great conversation. Loved the sweet & spicy chicken and waffles. We had a couple of cocktails and good food. Nice spot

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.
