Taverna Buckhead

Omg this place is GOOD. Like really good, almost almost Italy good. Came here for lunch and they had drink specials on the weekend ($3 for an Aeperol spritz? ) and their California pizza was seriously amazing! I always am very critical when it comes to anything California based but the pizza was flat and crispy- definitely out of a brick over or seemed like it and just enough toppings! Fresh yet hearty!Our bartender was amazing and all around had really great service! I will definitely be back.

Don't believe the rating! This restaurant was awful. 1 hour waiting for drinks, one hour waiting for food and yet my food was not delivered correctly. I have an allergy and they messed it up. 30 mins for dessert and another 35 mins for the check. ONLY one competent very overworked server yet this is supposed to be a high end restaurant. The ambiance wasn't that either. The restaurant wasn't that clean and the bathrooms either. I'm not sure they would pass a health code there. The pasta was very basic and the tiramisu tasted like butter rather than coffee. I am very disappointed.

The food was so bad! I ordered a margarita pizza. It was a cheese pizza (no basil, no mozzarella balls, barely any sauce) that tasted like someone put kid's string cheese over a stale Papa John's pizza crust. I had my family try it and they agreed it was not only really bad for the price and Buckhead area, but really bad in general. My sister ordered their dessert special, a Nutella cheesecake, and couldn't even finish it. It was so dry and flavorless. The spaghetti pomodoro was alright and the gelato was decent. Eggplant Parmesan was flavorless and cooked poorly. Not to mention, it took so long to get our food. Our waitress was fantastic, though. Bathroom toilets were clogged and messy. Overall, a huge disappointment and waste of money.

Love their $3 mimosa and aperol spritzes during brunch. Thought the service was great too. Ambiance is a bit casual, you'll find families, solo diners, and couples just grabbing a bite. Food was ok and wasn't my favorite, but enjoyed the California pizza and avocado toast. The wagyu burger wasn't very flavorful or memorable. Overall a solid spot for cheap brunch in Buckhead.

Came here for a work lunch and had great service. Got the ravioli, which was excellent. Hope I come back here for work again so I can try more dishes.

Both times we've been here has been such a treat. They have $3 mimosas and spritz for brunch! The French toast is one of my favorites, and I love that the flavor is in the toast and not from things drizzled on the top. The service is always very pleasant, and everyone is very friendly. The outside space was such a nice place to eat, it's pretty much fully covered but in a beautiful way.

We came here on a Friday afternoon for lunch. Our waiter was great and very attentive. She was also very helpful in helping my future mother-in-law decide on a dish since she wasn't very familiar with Italian food. It was pretty quiet in the restaurant, only us and another table were inside while there were about 4 different groups on the patio. The Paglia E Fieno was everything I needed today; the Parmesan, the tagliolini, wild mushrooms and truffle cream sauce were a perfect blend. I didn't need to add any salt or pepper to the dish after I'd stayed eating. This is definitely my favorite item on the menu right now. I did taste a bit of my partners meal, which was the branzino and it was good. I didn't care for the asparagus, because though it was perfectly cooked, it was not seasoned at all.

4.7/5Came here with my friend for light eats and drinks. They do have a parking deck with an elevator that leads to the side of the restaurant. So, it's easy to find and they validate parking which is a plus!Service: Our waiter was absolutely wonderful! She had a really nice vibe and was more than open and patient when it came to ordering. The manager was also going around doing table touches, which is always appreciated as a customer. Food: We shared the Mussels, which were in a tomato based sauce. The mussels were good, except for a few that still had sand in them, but I can't say I would order them again. I believe that's just person preference, as I enjoy white wine sauces more for mussels. For drinks, my friend ordered the Aperol spritz and I enjoyed the Lavender Refresher. The drinks were really good and strong, we also ordered a few rounds of wine which were good picks as well. For dessert, we just decided to share the tiramisu. I will say I don't usually like tiramisu, but this one was delightful as it was light and airy. Ambiance: It is a really nice place, very warm feeling inside with a good amount of seating. This is a good place for birthday dinners, celebration dinners, or just a night out. But the bathrooms could use a lil extra tidying up without the night. One stall was not up to par in the women's restroom. Overall: I will definitely be back to try more menu items. I have heard good things about their brunch/breakfast, so I will be back with a review for that once I've experienced it.

This was a nice place for Sunday brunch. You can't beat the $3 mimosa or Aperol spritz brunch special. The service was good (though slow by 12:30 when we were wrapping up and the restaurant was growing very crowded). I thought the food was decent. I had a veggie omelet, and it was tasty and came with seasoned potatoes and some leafy greens. My husband had the breakfast pizza, which had eggs, tomatoes, and ham. It was honestly underwhelming, and the crust was chewy, but not super flavorful - we both added Cholula to give it some flavor. I would say the food was good, not great, but the atmosphere was nice, and our experience was good.

Lucy did an excellent job serving us, despite the fact that the restaurant was packed full of customers and she clearly had a lot of tables. She knew the menu well and accurately recommended food and dessert that we enjoyed. The burrata was great, the drinks were some of the best we've had, the entrees were to die for, and the Panna Cotta Lucy recommended was creamy and delicious. Please send our thanks to Lucy for the excellent service!
