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.

I liked when I made the reservation there was an area to write a request. I asked for a quiet area because we all used to work together and two of our girls' husbands died. We hadn't seen each other since then. Our table area was quiet, and we cried and laugh without disturbing anyone. Eventually we ate and the waitress was very kind and understanding when it took us a while to stop talking and read the menu. She even took our picture. It was the first time for all of us to be there which was great because it didn't bring up memories of past diners with the husband. We all loved what we had and brought some home. I had the crab cake salad, and the crabs were just right. We shall eat there again. Thank you.
