La Taverna Review

One of the more refined restaurants in town, candlelit La Taverna is removed from the hubbub (but still central; just follow the signs). Couples meet romantically and families celebrate special occasions under the brick barreled vaults, and wait for Claudio Brugalossi to recommend the best pick of the day. If they're available and you have an appetite, go for the caramelle rosse al gorgonzola, a 'zola-soaked plate of homemade ravioli filled with juicy beets. Follow that up with medaglioni alle punte di asparagi, which are cuts of filet, smothered in a creamy asparagus sauce and scalloped potatoes. Recently, Claudio has added limited outdoor seating. Call ahead for one of the tables.

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
