Taverna Italian Kitchen + Bar

Great place to dine in. Loved it. Great service. Wonderful food. Awesome location. U can forget about the price, if the food is this good. We had a group of 20 people and we had an amazing experience there A bit too dark though !

Great place for Italian pasta! The table by the fire place is the perfect spot for a warm romantic dinner or cocktail on a cold night. Service was first class and there were plenty of food options to choose from.

Fantastic restaurant that I would highly recommend and would definitely come back to again! First, the staff are all super friendly and accommodating. The general ambiance of the place also felt right for the type of food served. Everything we had was delicious and cooked perfectly. Pasta had just the right amount of bite. Servings were very good for the price. The cacio e pepe in particular was incredibly creamy, flavorful, and well made.

The Alfredo pasta was made fresh which you can taste but the pasta itself could’ve been rolled out thinner. The pasta was on the thicker side, don’t get me wrong better that than mushy thin over cooked pasta but 1-2 more rolls would’ve been perfect. The margarita pizza was also tasty with fresh basil but it could’ve used more cooking in the middle. I was expecting at least half the slice to hold with wood fire pizzas like this but the slice barely held up on its own past the crust portion which made it more of a knife and fork eating situation.

Best Italian food in Saskatoon. Well established restaurant with expert Italian chefs. Features house made fresh pasta and a huge menu. Highly recommend!!

A beautiful traditional style Italian restaurant where everything is made in house. Our server Jayce was absolutely amazing, providing us with little bits of history or fun facts about Italy everytime he visited our table. One of the most enjoyable dining experiences I've had while visiting Saskatoon. Make sure you order the bruschetta you won't be disappointed!

My affinity for Taverna has grown through the years. Their ambience is nice; I love the low lighting. Their food is consistently good. This past time I had the white peach sangria, Caesar salad, and the ravioli de ricotta e spinaci, which was all fab.

Excellent food but most notable was their flexibility. I came in with a request for a 20 top the day of. I showed up with 21!! No problem. Never felt rushed, our server was amazing and clearly very experienced. My only suggestion is that staff could update their training with accessibility and interacting with those that require accommodation. Well done Taverna! We will be back!

Ambience and service were lovely. Portions were larger than we had expected, and that justified the price, to a certain degree. The appetizers and cocktails were yummy. As for our main courses… The flavours just did not do it for us. I was expecting richer, deeper notes from the “slow cooked” sauce I had. The pizza was also not quite what we had expected. Rather soggy and under-spiced. I would go back and try something else, but it’s tough when there are so many newer places that have their spice game on point. Not sure what happened there, as Taverna ranks high in many people’s books. I would still recommend this place for a chill vibe and good drinks.

Not a good experience for my wife and I. Her gnocchi and my spaghetti & meatballs were not great and very salty. Our stomachs are still complaining 5 hours later. We had no drinks and nothing after the main course. Price was close to $80 including tax; plus tip on top of that. Not worth the money for us. The atmosphere used to be a lot better. We've been to other restaurants with much better food and for much less money. We won't ever be back!
