A Living Family Tradition: Taverna Review
“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.
From Italian trattorias to French bistros, the many different cuisines of the coastal Mediterranean serve as our daily inspiration. Like many family-run establishments in Europe, our restaurants make their own pastas, gelato and desserts. We constantly strive to craft menus that combine the creativity of contemporary cuisine with the powerful draw of classic recipes.”
California conjures up images of coastal cuisine, thus the Italian cuisine of Taverna easily finds a home here. Various locations are also found throughout the United States, including Dallas, Texas. It appears good service, friendly hospitality, and fresh ingredients are the recipe for success.
The Lombardi Family Concepts group owns Taverna, 31, Toulouse, Penne Pomodoro, and Lombardi’s. Alberto Lombardi is the patriarch of his family and was born in Italy. Since coming to the United States he has opened many restaurants in Texas, Nevada, and California.
