My husband and I celebrated our anniversary at La Taverna Wednesday last week, and it was a genuinely pleasant experience. We had reserved a table (just in case), but the restaurant was not nearly full that night.After ordering, we got a bread basket with yummy garlic bread and our wine, and didn't have to wait long for our appetizer (dried bresaola with arugula and parmesan), which was very good.

After ordering, we got a bread basket with yummy garlic bread and our wine, and didn't have to wait long for our appetizer (dried bresaola with arugula and parmesan), which was very good. As a main course, we shared the osso bucco and the gnocci with four cheese sauce. We got the osso bucco first, which was wonderfully tender and tasty, served with risotto and, oddly, broccoli (essentially raw), two cherry tomatoes, and two baked potato halves on the side. The sides weren't bad, just ... not Italian at all, and not really creative, either.
The gnocci were very good, too, but as they came on a cold plate and sat on the table until we were done with the osso bucco, they were cold by the time we had them.
To go with dessert (tiramisu: good, but by no means the world's best, and panna cotta: outstanding. The dessert plates were decorated with sauce hearts, awww...), we tried two different kinds of grappa, neither of which we liked. Not that anything was wrong with them, they were just not as tasty and smooth as we would have liked.
We enjoyed that the restaurant was quiet because it was not full, and because there were so many decorative items on shelves on the walls and hanging from the ceiling that all noise from other customers was muzzled.
The waiters were fairly quick, but we didn't have any requests or questions. Taking our dessert order, the waiter asked if everything was to our liking.
Overall a place I can definitely recommend for a nice romantic dinner.
