My experience was okay. We sat in the patio area and basically after our order was taken and the people that were drinking had... their drinks brought out, the food was brought out by other wait staff. Our waitress, who by the way is a tall skinny blonde,dark tan, and fluorescent glasses seemed very unattentive after taking our order. She never came back to ask how our meal was,we also had to ask for a dessert menu from somebody else. And then when she finally returned a half hour later we decidedagainst any dessert as we did not want to sit there any longer. Two and a half hours on a metal chair is pretty uncomfortable,especially when you have leg disabilities. Now mind you our food was brought out in a pretty timely fashion, we were just leftto sit there after we finished. And the food was nothing to brag about, I had the spinach with asparagus ravioli, yawn. As wewere sitting there the live entertainment was nice, but it was so loud we couldn't even have a conversation. I don't enjoysomeone screaming in my ear so I can hear them. I literally couldn't wait to leave. I've lived in this area a long time, wehave many fine Italian restaurants, so it won't bother me one bit not going back to this one. Read more
I really look forward to coming back here again soon with my wife for a meal. Everything that came out of the kitchen looked... tremendously delicious. It was a Saturday night, so there was LIVE music which is nice, which they also have on Fridays aswell. The bartender, Michael, was very knowledgeable and my wife says the owner and his wife are really nice folks. Can't waitto come back Read more
This is one of our favorite restaurants for not only special occasions but weeknight meals as well. The staff is over the top... accommodating and the owners are always there to greet you. The food is by far the best Italian in the area! The pastas arealways perfect and go beyond all the standards. The pork chop Velasco is one of my favorites along with the shrimp Taverna. Runhere!

This little spot is definitely a hidden gem! Amazing service, Mike is a true master of his craft and a great mixoligist and... extremely attentive server. I never noticed him fill my water once and my glass was never empty. Its the little things thatcount especially with everything going on now a days.. So this is defiantly the place to go for great service and food. Filletsliders are a must! Read more
I give Taverna on Division 5 stars! The restaurant was cozy and festive. We especially liked the friendly atmosphere and the... live music with a chance to do some dancing. We had a large group of 14 and the management was very accommodating and welcoming.With a group this size obviously we ordered many many entrees. And I can say that everything was served hot, and quickly, andour orders were all done correctly. Their food is authentic Italian and absolutely worth it. The service and the wait staff werevery attentive to our needs and brought our drinks, appetizers and entrees correctly. We look forward to coming back and manymore occasions! Highly recommended.

Taverna on Division was a fantastic experience. Food was nothing short of exceptional. We enjoyed a truly delicious burrata and... pesto appetizer, the pesto and oil were amazing and brought out the best of the burrata cheese. For main courses we ordered amushroom truffle ravioli which was very good but the true standout was the pork braciole with gnocchi I had ordered. The saucepaired with this dish was amazing and perfectly complimented the Parmesan and provolone cheeses used in the braciole. I can'tsee myself ordering anything else on my next visit. ( there will have to be a next visit) Cocktails we had were solid too, butmy only complaint would be the wait time between seeing a server. Time between cocktails was a little longer than needed lol.Overall Taverna is a can't miss and should be tried out by anyone in the area. Read more
