One of the best Italian restaurants in Chicagoland. I know a statement like this can be overlooked as biased, jaded or just plain wrong to some. You may even say, this guy doesn 't get out much.

I visited on Saturday night to celebrate my sister-in-law's birthday, and it was a wonderful experience. The food was outstanding, with generous portion sizes.

I visited on February 11th to celebrate my sister's birthday. The food service was fantastic, and I had the chance to meet the owners, who were very personable. We ended up sharing some small-world stories about Melrose Park. Our server was excellent, and I'm definitely looking forward to coming back for Sunday dinner! If possible, please have non-alcoholic beer available.

This is a fantastic spot! Bartender Mike is incredibly talented, and his dirty martinis are fabulous. The espresso martinis are delicious too. This is definitely the best place in the area!

The best Italian food around. Greg is awesome and so is his family. We had the best time. Great little neighborhood place.
We celebrated my mom's birthday last Sunday, and everything at Taverna made it a truly memorable day.
