Best Casual Restaurants in Plano

Every dish we tried was amazing and the service was excellent. We asked to be in a quieter area and were sat on the 2nd floor patio which was a great ambience and bit quieter than being inside. However there were several families with toddlers and infants near us, some of whom were crying and being allowed by their parents to crawl the area freely. We wished the staff would have discouraged that. There was also a table sat immediately behind ours and there was no room behind either of our chairs (backs of our seats were up against eachother). That made it a bit uncomfortable and loud once that table was sat because the louder gentlemen with that group were essentially conversing right in our ears. Overall still worth it but that took it from being an excited 5 stars to a generously rounded up 5 stars due to the food and service.

Amazing restaurant! The traditional, family style dishes were amazing. The entire staff was awesome and very knowledgeable, friendly and conversational. Everything about the ambiance was perfect, including the music and the old Italian movies playing on the screen.

Not crazy about being seated in a back room. yes it was quiet but too quiet. we like sitting out with the crowd. Blake was a very good server. the food is always good. but the drinks have gone down in value. Meaning: the Hawaiian pineapple cosmo needed vodka that could be tasted. and for two for $27 it was disappointing. A manhattan was similarly weak. so.. happy with the food , NOT the drinks. Come on Bar! Make the drinks worthy of the prices. or we will go to Bob’s where the drinks are the best!

This is a great place for a casual or business lunch. The food is consistently good, the menu varied and the service excellent. Overall very nice place.

Taverna is always excellent, and tonight was no exception. The chopped salad was good, and the Salamino pizza 🍕 was very good. Our waitress was also very good. Banshee is an excellent Pinot Noir. All in all a very pleasant evening.
