La Tavernetta - ASOLO

A beautiful traditional Italian restaurant near Asolo. We found the service to be very wonderful and helpful with the menu selections. The menu has several appealing items, making it difficult to choose your dinner, but everything we had was delicious. We were able to get a reservation the same day, but it filled up by the time we left so it is wise to call and make a reservation. The pasta's and steak were amazing as was the tiramisu...and the wine as well.

This restaurant was near our hotel so we decided to give it a try. It is located on the busy highway that goes through the center of Asolo. We parked beside the restaurant, opened the door and there was a wonderful surprise inside. The decor is charming with fabric covers on the chairs, subdued lighting and interesting art on the walls. Our waiter was charming and spoke excellent English. He interpreted the menu which was mostly seafood. However, he stressed that the chef would prepare anything we wanted. We asked for Caprese which was not on the menu and it arrived complete with balsamic from Modena. Our main course was a pasta dish with scallops and dessert was a beautifully presented sampler dish with three varieties of crime brûlée. The wine selection was also excellent. We highly recommend this restaurant.

La Tavernetta has new management and they focus on FISH. Service and wine selection are poor! Food's good, but in smaller portions than one would expect paying so much. Appetizers are quite good. Champagne Rice with Scampi's excellent, also in the presentation. Other dishes we have tried are in the norm: I would not consider it on the top of my list/it has a way to go.

Su mangia bene e si sta bene. Un buon posto pulito, senza fronzoli con buoni piatti preparati in modo semplice ma genuino. Anche per i vini hanno una buona varietà. Eccellenti le grappe. Ci tornerò spesso e volentieri.

Ambiente caratteristico e accogliente, personale molto gentile e preparato. Cibo di qualità. Le porzioni sono un po' scarse se paragonate ai prezzi, piuttosto alti.
