Best brunch in Austin! $1 mimosas and the best French toast around. You can booze and eat for under $15 on Saturdays and Sundays.It gets pretty crowded and they do not take reservations .

Andrea Barrezueta

Recommended by a local for a reason. All our dishes were perfectly executed. The gnocchi with short ribs ragu was the best imho.

Sebastian Rivas

Brunch is delicious and mimosas are only $2 a pop. The beignets are treat but be forewarned if you don't like a little lemon zest you won't enjoy them.

Sara

Swordfish is awesome. Caprese rissoto is excellent. Gnocchi . Everything is great. Fantastic service and great atmosphere

Cindy Friis

Great breakfast - cheap Bellini 's & Mimosa 's! The location is very convenient - the boutiques are right across the street if your up for some shopping afterwards.

Kattia Hernandez

Fiochi Di gorgonzola con pera y Nocci. Always the best. Along with the Valpolicella Wine .

Packed on a Friday night, so make a reservation . Great food and service. Try the melon wrapped in prosciutto with a balsamic glaze .

Small Ceasar salad and sea bass + menu standards that consistently outstand. Add a glass of Sauvignon Blanc et voilá un diner incredible.

Tried the Belgian waffle and it was fantastic! It came topped with bananas , strawberries , raspberries , blueberries and whipped cream . YUM!

Get the Lamb or the Garganelli al Pomodoro e Basilico it's Garganelli Pasta tossed with Fresh Tomato & Basil or with Bolognese Sauce . It is absolutely amazing.

Avoid the tiny round tables . Sit st a side table. Oil and bread ok, balsamic strong and cheap . Nice folks and decent menu for chain. Eat risotto .

Andreina Morales

Take your pick of the menu. I guarantee that your dish will be just a savory as the next item on the menu. Bon appétit!

John Walls

I love Taverna & have been a loyal patron for 3 years. My big tip would be that they cook all their pasta al dente , but mention that you'd like it cooked longer & they'll make it to order.

Tony Wenzel

order the Parmesan and truffle risotto and ask them to add wild mushrooms . you won't be sorry.

Daniel Spillers

At dinner , if you have a large party, make sure they will split the bill before you order! But this food is DELICIOUS. Not a bad thing on the menu.

Liana Casciani
