Taverna Rustic Italian - Wilmington

Great casual Italian. Enjoyed our dishes. Service was excellent.

Very good food and cooked perfectly. I had a chicken sandwich and it was great... Quality meats, seasoned great and not over cooked. And the tots are light and tasty as well. My wife had a great cheese salad. Two others had the shrimp platter and they were great as well. Place has a bar for game watching if interested and plenty of dinner tables for guests. Recommended.

Taverna is one of my wife's favorite places to eat out. We actually live closer to the one in Newark but decided to venture out to the N. Wilmington location instead. This location is much more spacious and has a wonderful outdoor seating space with lots of beautiful flowers around the perimeter. I chose the Italian wedding soup as an appetizer, my wife got the artichokes. Both were prepared perfectly. For our main dishes, my wife got one of her all time favorite dishes the canelloni(which sadly wasn't available last year because of the pandemic) and I got the (not very)spicy shrimp and orzo. The shrimp were cooked to perfection with just the right amount of spice and a little char. We ended our meals with the Budini and the tiramisu. The tiramisu was one of the best we ever had. We would recommend visiting this N. Wilmington location for easier parking, better seating outside and just as amazing food.

This is hands down my favorite restaurant. Every time we go, the staff is always amazing. Everything I have eaten here is amazing and delicious. The calamari and tiramisu are the best I?ve ever had. If you come on weekend night, you should make reservations because they?re usually booked up. It?s well worth it! Tuna is great. Beef risotto is mouth watering and so juicy.

We have eaten here several times and we have always been very happy with our meals. If you like fish, I recommend the salmon dish and also the ahi tuna dish. The fish is always fresh. They have a nice bar with numerous specialty drinks, a huge wine selection and great appetizers. The wait staff is always very attentive. They have a parking lot, so you don?t have to worry about parking. Give them a try.
