Tavernonna Italian Kitchen

This has been on my "want to go" list for some time, I finally made it there and was highly disappointed. It took more than 45 mins for my cocktail to arrive to the table, my food a pasta dish took more than an hour, and those meatballs were underwhelming. As I ate, I thought "I should have just gone to whole foods got some pasta, their Organic Italian Herb Pasta Sauce, and would have had a better dining experience". The inside was not busy so the delay was unusual. Unfortunately, I will not be returning and my guest who travels to the area more frequently than me will not return nor recommend.

Meh at best! I figured it would be good looking at the menu online however the menu at the restaurant was small in comparison so not many choices at all. Definitely no kid choices. For the money it was not a good value and we all left our food behind as it was not good enough to take with. The waitress was inattentive and left our drinks empty. Had to ask for more water as she dropped off our food and left without checking. All in all it is a hotel restaurant and I would not come again. Honestly we walked here from our hotel and had we known it was a hotel restaurant we never would’ve come. Oh and what kind of Italian restaurant doesn’t provide bread before dinner or with dinner???

New Chef, new menu at Tavernonna. If you are looking for the amazing chicharrones with the yummy seasoning sprinkled on top, it’s no longer part of the née menu. I was very sadden, and hungry. Larry at the bar, took a break from tending his cocktail base original recipes to go over the new menu and pointed me in the right direction. I enjoyed everything I ate and throughly enjoyed hearing about Larry’s cocktail creations. I look forward to my next visit.
