Endwell Taverna

Street parking. Able to walk in and grab a table!Great service. The Caesar salad was delish. Well dressed and the variety of lettuces was a great way to have Caesar. The rigatoni chicken was good. Slightly spicy. A bit too salty for my taste. That being said, I ate it all!The pizza was great. Very thin crust. Great balance with the sauce. Amazing quick dinner.

We came in for a weekday lunch, and we were seated right away. We had heard great things so had high expectations. Service was good overall.- Taverna burger (4/5): burger was good but not amazing. Good flavor overall. Fries were very crispy and delicious - Mushroom pizza (3.5/5): Pizza was tasty but I feel like it needed more sauce and or toppings.

Stopped in for dinner during Columbia's True False film festival. The atmosphere is warm and casual, very cute bar area. Service was great! Burrata appetizer was amazing, the bread was crispy and sesame flavor paired well with the cheese, honey and prosciutto. Cavatelli seemed handmade and texture was perfect, though the dish itself was a little bland. The eggplant rollatini seemed a little burnt and was just ok. We also ordered the house Sangiovese wine, which came in a casual carafe and was delish for a very reasonable price. Recommend a visit and to order the burrata and house red!

The service was prompt and professional and the facility was very clean. The food was super delicious, especially the mushroom pizza! Outstanding.

What a sweet first experience at one of Columbia's newest spots in town!Given the newness, the wait time was about an hour & a half, so be prepared to nab a drink or snack at another location while you wait (their bar is packed too!). The restaurant itself was small, and sound multiplies here! All of these 'cautions' I assume will subside after the initial high wears off. Outside of these things...Wish I had more photos, but again it was packed, so couldn't. But the interior is BEAUTIFUL! Looks beautiful refurbished, clean, and fitting to the old Italian theme. We were seated at a 'family style' table , which at first was jarring when you're on a date and another couple is directly next to you at the table. But- it ended well, pun intended ;). We were able to swap recommendations and learn about others in our community. Our waitress was also so kind and attentive to us, wish I caught her name! As for the food - hard to rate Italian spots when we've been to Italy , but Endwell was by far the best in town. We got the Antipasti board, which was delicious! Was pleasantly surprised with the portion size here. The cacio e Pepe is one of my favs, and I certainly was not disappointed. Thought about it for days after. Then we ended with the clam pizza, chef's kiss! We will be back soon!

Great service! Great Food! Cool vibe! Grew up in upstate NY myself and it was awesome to have cavatelli (and it be made correctly) and so close to my new home. Can't wait to go back!

A friend and I visited the evening of Friday, Aug. 2, 2024. She put in our names before 6 p.m., and we were quoted a wait of about an hour, which we spent exploring nearby art galleries and shops. The restaurant texted when ready to seat us. We were shown to a communal table next to a party of four, but we didn't mind because it allowed us to spy on their menu choices and plot our orders. To start, we ordered fried chickpeas seasoned with salt and smoked paprika and a burrata appetizer with a panzanella that included fresh tomato, corn, and arugula. The chickpeas were a moreish salty nibble, and the creamy burrata pleased the table.Our server was attentive and kept the meal moving smoothly.For mains, we ordered the mushroom pizza (featuring fontina, balsamic onions, pecorino, and mint) and a fusili dressed with mushrooms, broccolini, onions, ricotta, and parmesan. All was delicious, and we didn't have room for dessert, despite the tempting tiramisu and pistachio-encrusted cannoli we spotted nearby. Next time.The place was crowded and buzzing, making it a little loud (and difficult to hear) at times, but overall a good experience.

Average food, service, value. Overrated. (Adding words to get to 85 characters for yelp review)

Delicious food and cocktails in a lovely building. Our hostess and server were both friendly and professional.

we met friends there for dinner a few weeks ago. Food was good but the noise level is out of control. This makes everyone then raise their speaking volume of to be heard. It needs some acoustical treatment. When that is added we will go back.
