    As always an incredible meal at Tavernetta. Went in for a snowy Monday dinner and had a cocktail each, split an app, and two plates of pasta. A light dinner but perfect, and what we were looking for. One of the pastas could’ve benefited from another 5-10s, but with fresh pasta, who cares. Delicious!

    Never disappointed! The fixed price menu for Valentine's Day was absolutely delicious, matched by the usual impeccable service (thank you Gage!). The menu never gets old - always new items, or long-standing favorites prepared in a new fashion since our last visit (agnolotte cacio e pepe for example). Shout out to the bartender as well for a delicious white negroni. Already planning a return visit!!

    Went here for Valentine’s with the hubby. The atmosphere was intimate and lovely. They gave us a rose, there were rose petals on the table, and the other patrons were all having their conversations at the same level so there was just a nice quiet mummer over the restaurant. It was so nice and the food was terrific, it was the first dinner in months where neither of us felt drawn to take out our phones. The energy was just right for us to feel like being engaging with one another. 10/10 would (and most likely will) dine again.
