We were here with a large group. More came than we had made reservations and the staff just pulled over another table for us. The waitress was friendly and efficient. The food was great! I think everyone liked what they ordered, I know I did....My main negative is that we were there at 7:30 and the restaurant wasn’t overly crowded, but the food I wanted to order was sold out. The second choice was also sold out. So I had to settle for a third choice, which as mentioned, was very good!More

I wouldn’t say it’s a real Italian but food was pretty good. Personally I went for scaloppine parmeggiana and it was really taste. Service was really nice too.

Date night… looking forward to an evening out enjoying fabulous pasta. Unfortunately, the result was a disappointing evening. When our meals arrived, my husband’s meal was cold and they brought me the wrong dish. When they finally brought the correct dish, it was too late....My husband felt bad eating his dish while I waited too long for them to bring the correct dish. The waitress apologized but offering 50% off my meal wasn’t sufficient. Did I say disappointed?More

We went there as a table of sux to celebrate my wife’s birthday with family. The decor has not changed for ever and needs a facelift. The menu is small and over priced for a pasta restaurant. My mother ordered the pesto gnocchi and it...was cold and very over cooked. We informed the waitress of this but still paid full price for a sub par meal. The rest of the meals were good but one of the parties had veal and pasta and it cost $40 dollars. It was ok but overpriced, serve was good.More

The food and service were top notch! Great food and a charming little spot in the heart of downtown Saskatoon. A must go!!

Our family ordered a wide variety from their menu, and all felt that they did a terrific job creating an authentic Italian meal. The menu is very extensive. The pasta was all cooked to perfection. Awesome flavours. Our server was very friendly and helpful. She...new the menu exceptionally well.More

We went out with a group of 8. The food was mediocre, the service was below average, the drinks were very expensive and gratuity was automatically charged at 20%!!! We definitely won’t be going back. There are far better places than this for the quality...of food, service snd price.More

With a table of 8 ,there is a automatic 20% tip.it showed with our waitress. Not friendly at all ,it was a chore when we asked for something we wanted. Out of 8 meals only 3 where happy.My pasta and veal was swimming in oil,and...not much taste.Same with my wife’s meal. Way to much oil or butter,couldn’t tell. We had a bad experience a few years back. Thought we would try it again…Never again.More

My wife has been telling me for many years what a great restaurant this was when she lived in Saskatoon. After over 30 years, we went back last night, because she always raved about their Carbonara. Needless to say, when we went, she ordered the...Ensalata Mista, half size, and the aforementioned Carbonara. I started with their Garlic Shrimp and had the Cannelloni. Oh my goodness, the salad was delicious, so much so, we bought some of their salad dressing to go and her carbonara, was spectacular. Everyone seems to have their take on it, it was very flavorful, baconee (not a word, but you get my drift) and quite creamy. She didn’t finish, luckily we brought a cooler to take home the leftovers for dinner tonight. My shrimp were cooked perfectly and seasoned excellently. I am used to getting 2 large cannelloni’s, but this dish had 4 smaller ones. The Bolognese sauce was delish, and the beef/veal filling was excellent as well. I couldn’t finish either, so again, great leftovers…. Due to staff shortages with COVID, no pizza was available as not enough people to run the oven, etc. Maddie was our server, and she was terrific. Attentive, engaging and helpful. All in all, a wonderful experience and we will be back next time we are in town. If I could have rated it 4 1/2, I would have!!!! Definitely recommend this restaurant.More

Ordered takeout. Everything perfect and tasted amazing. Our order was prepared really fast, about 20 minutes or so. Such amazing quality of food for the price.

WHY is the so called Manager (or Owner) so damn unorganized and can't even manage the front counter properly. You have reservations. No reason to not be ready for them! Pitch in and help your staff. And.....get rid of the black hat and gum! Look...professional! Taverna has always been a favourite restaurant for us but everything has gone downhill. I would not recommend this restaurant any time soon. This is our second attempt under new management and it was a disappointment for the second time!More

Wanted to try a place that we don’t have in my home city. We were a table of 3. Service was slow, prices in the menu link on this page are incorrect - they were actually mostly over $20 for a pasta dish - portions...were small. Food was average, we had to ask twice for a coke, I asked for lemon wedges in my water and never got them. Water was luke warm when it was first served(no ice), then we were given a bottle for the table that was a little cooler. Super loud, but the place was packed. I’ve been to other Italian restaurants where the food is plentiful, delicious and great service. This was not one of those places. I’ll likely not visit it again.More
