We were in Jacksonville for a concert and found this restaurant on Google, and we are so glad we did! It is elegant and has a great vibe. Everyone is so kind and friendly. We ate some of the best Italian food and drinks. Pictured: Fettucine in Red Sauce, Burrata Caprese, Moscow Mules and a Cosmopolitan 💕 We also had the Patatas Bravas, they were so well seasoned and delicious (ate it all before we could take a picture) Recommended 10/10 - great for date night/family dinner/girls night

Almost as good as homemade. We had Christmas Eve dinner and they did not disappoint! They have great gluten-free options and delicious wine choices. We will be back next year on our next vacation!

Everyone was super polite and helpful. It is a little on the expensive side, however they have some lesser prices options. Everything is fresh, and they use high quality ingredients. For my meal, scallops over a pea risotto, the flavors were perfect, the scallops were cooked perfectly. The risotto was slightly under done, just slightly and not all of it just a grain here or there. It was still delicious, and it is difficult to have risotto ready for a lunch service. I will definitely eat here again!

Absolutely fantastic experience at Taverna! The service was warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. Every dish we ordered was incredible—from the rich, comforting ravioli with shrimp in a dreamy creamy sauce, everything was cooked to perfection and the chef special rib eye with mash potatoes. .You can really taste the quality and care in each bite. This place is a gem in San Marco for anyone craving authentic Italian cuisine with great vibes. Can’t wait to come back!

This is absolutely one special place! Bradley was our server and just knocked it out of the ball park. It was our first time dining at Taverna and we asked Bradley to set us up with the top recommended dishes for the 5 of us. Everything was just perfect and the Chef is extremely talented! When you let a Chef do his thing by working with his staff and going “off script” to showcase their talents as a team, you end up with a purely curated, customized and personal experience like the one we had. Our table shared every plate family style which allowed all of us to sample more from the menu and by the time we were finished, we all had a full four-course meal! Very highly recommend and let them wow you. We will be back! Cheers y’all
