Taverna (domain Northside) Austin

I don't review places often but thought this place deserved it. My wife made a reservation for 10 people. Every single thing went great. Welcoming, friendly, accommodating. The location and the place are excellent. The service was phenomenal, I wish I had asked our server's name. She was on top of everything and very friendly. She even had bills ready per couple!! That makes things so easy and smooth for everyone. That type of service should not be taken for granted. I obviously tipped more than 20%. The food: My wife is half Sicilian, half German, we've been to Italy several times. The food here really has an authentic Italian taste and style. Everything we ordered was delicious. My wife loved the non alcoholic Mojito. I enjoyed a couple Peroni on tap (in my experience this is somewhat exotic to find here, Italian beer on tap). The portions were surprisingly generous! I was expecting much less so we were impressed and ended up over eating but a long walk around the Domain helped with that. Our host/server even brought some canoli for the birthday girl, on the house. These were also outstanding by the way (will be ordering these next time). There's nothing negative I could say about this place to be frank. And I am strict with restaurants because they are a luxury nowadays and expectations should be as high as the price. Also in the USA you always feel rushed while eating in a restaurant. Here it wasn't the case this time, which foreigners highly appreciate. Every single aspect today was 10/10 for us. We are now fans! Keep up the great work everyone! 👍👏👏👏

Great place for Italien food to go for your birthday! Amazing pasta and they have the best dessert ever! The Tiramisu dessert and the Chocolate Lava cake are insane
