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.

The Sunday Brunch is very good at The Rail. The selections are plentiful and very tasty. The French Toast casserole is always wonderful. We did miss the melodious sounds of the pianist which added a certain sense of elegance.

Four of us stopped in for lunch. We all ordered salads and enjoyed them very much, particularly the Cobb. The only tiny negative was that the salmon was slightly overcooked. Our server was excellent and we appreciated the quiet booth where we could talk.
