With the opening of Taverna, Platinum Dining Group brings to life its highly anticipated version of the “neighborhood gathering place.” Rustic and simple in conception but well crafted and high minded in execution, Taverna brings to Newark a casual sophistication that sees reclaimed wood and exposed brick on the wall. Polished marble rest atop the overstretched bar which boasts eighteen draft beers and the state’s first ever “tapped wine” system. A seemingly humble menu is carefully considered with homemade pastas, coal-fired pizzas, and daily “features” that will bring a smile to the most discerning grandmother’s face.**A NOTE FROM THE RESTAURANT**Reservations are not required. We welcome walk-ins.Please contact us directly at 302-444-4334 , if desired reservation time is unavailable or the party size is larger than 6.

We were celebrating our daughter's 50th birthday and couldn't have selected a better place to celebrate. As soon as we arrived, we were greeted by a very friendly hostess who escorted us to our table for ten. Immediately we were greeted by our waiter Elvis who was the best. He was always on top of everything. We brought a cake in from the outside and had candles "50th" to be placed on the cake, but before that could be done Elvis informed me that one of the candles had been broken at which time he went across the street to try and replace it with no luck. Not a big deal but it was to us because of his tenacity. Would highly recommend a night of pour delectable food and atmosphere and the bar was on spot! We will go again often!
