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.

    This was my second trip to this restaurant. The beef brasato was excellent. We also had the grilled artichokes, beef meatballs, and broccoli rabe, which needed some olive oil and perhaps a little garlic 😉. Parking is an issue due the proximity of UD, and onstreet meters are heavily monitored. Last visit, I got a ticket and I paid! Had to appeal, and won, but it made me not want to try any area restaurants. Glad I did. Food is consistently good here. Kudos!

    The place is exactly what you would expect based on its advertising. It is a local place with lots of sports screens and really good food. It is a place where you come as you are and feel comfortable. The staff was super friendly. They even walked the box I forgot at my table out to mee in the parking lot. I wish I could remember the name of the hostess who did that for me, but that was super cool. A really fun time overall. The crowd got pretty loud during the Goooooooal moments but, that is to be expected.
