This is a Italian Restaurant on 2nd street. The location is perfect. The small trees on both sides of the street are decorated with cute lightings, as Rashi pointed out..."some decoration keeps the city alive and also keeps alive the desire to like and enjoy the city".
We went on a Friday night of the Bikers rally weekend, so most of Downtown was pretty much empty. It was a hot humid evening....we decided to sit outside. It took a little while for our Server to get to our table. But once she arrived, the service was excellent. I ordered a Mexican Martini. It was really nice, not too strong.
The food we ordered :
- Garganelli al Pomodoro Basilico (the name is mouthful): The Pasta was nothing but a Garganelli (twisted Penne) tossed in tomato basil sauce. It was a little sour but nice change. It looked and tasted fresh. The portion is not too big, so if you are hungry it is recommended for one person.
- Gamberetti e Pesto (Pizza): The pizza was very good. The toppings were Mozzarela, Pesto Basil and sun dried tomatoes. It was not greasy at all (my number one criteria for good Pizza, i know its stupid). Pizza serving is good size for 2 people.
We were done with our food and were just sitting there talking. It was about closing time for Taverna, but they didnt mind us a lot and the server said we can sit there for a while (sign of good service). In all, good place to go and spend a nice evening with friends. The prices are not too high and the service is excellent. Next time, want to sit indoors and see how that goes, I am sure we will find some more "Mouthful" dishes on the menu that we can modify and change to Vegetarian...:)
