With the opening of Taverna, Platinum Dining Group brings to life its highly anticipated version of the “neighborhood gathering place.” Rustic and simple in conception but well crafted and high minded in execution, Taverna brings to Newark a casual sophistication that sees reclaimed wood and exposed brick on the wall. Polished marble rest atop the overstretched bar which boasts eighteen draft beers and the state’s first ever “tapped wine” system. A seemingly humble menu is carefully considered with homemade pastas, coal-fired pizzas, and daily “features” that will bring a smile to the most discerning grandmother’s face.**A NOTE FROM THE RESTAURANT**Reservations are not required. We welcome walk-ins.Please contact us directly at 302-444-4334 , if desired reservation time is unavailable or the party size is larger than 6.

I lived in DE many years ago. I was there when Iron Hill opened. It was my favorite restaurant then and it is still up to that high standard. Everything was as I remembered; lovely atmosphere, good service and great food. Thank you not changing over all these years.

The food was amazing! Staff was great. We can’t wait to go back. Only thing that wasn’t perfect was the coffee. It was weak but we really enjoyed our date night.

We are regulars at Caffe Gelatto because the food, service, and drinks are great. It was this time as well except for two changes in the menu. The gnocchi has been removed from the menu and the menu for salmon has been changed in the way it is cooked and added salsa topping. The salmon was not enjoyed at all. Change it back please.
