TAVERNA is nestled in Saskatoon's historic downtown core within walking distance of a number of major hotels in the renowned entertainment district. The building was originally the grocery section of the J.F. Cairns Department Store dating back to 1907. Taverna still maintains a historical charm and character, serving delicious, exceptionally well-prepared Italian American food since 1969. Simultaneously comfortable yet aspirational.

We believe that keeping the food fresh, simple and whole is the secret to a successful dish. Italian food doesn't have to be complicated or elaborate to be spectacular.

    The Service and the food were second to none!! Couldn't be better. Pricing was appropriate for such good quality. Our server was a gem! She knew what we needed when we needed it and held our hand through the menu several times. It was GREAT service.

    This is a very good restaurant and although a little pricey, you pay for what you get and this isn't Mickey Ds.

    The food was wonderful - and our server was great. The physical decor at Taverna is more small town restaurant than fancy. And we are very comfortable with that. I think that Taverna is one of Saskatoon's gems.
