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.

    Great food and great service. I especially loved the Eggplant Parmesan (Sunday special). The manager checked on us twice during our visit to make sure everything was enjoyable.

    We really enjoy going out to Iron Hill Brewery in Newark. The staff is always friendly & helpful. We like that the atmosphere is low-key (especially when the college students are on break!) and we can watch sports while eating! Tonight our server was prompt, attentive, & nice. Everyone enjoyed their food - and we had a wide variety between our party of four: traditional cheese pizza, black bean burger, country schnitzel, and scallop special. We went out to celebrate my dad’s birthday so he chose the apple pie with ice cream for dessert… it was sooo good! Overall, we look forward to our next visit!

    Love this place. The reason for the 4 star on food was there was too much pasta - it overwhelmed the sauce. Better to have half as much and enjoy the flavor more. It was lovely and quiet and of course apps and desserts were stellar
