La Taverna in Essen

Small Italian restaurant in downtown Essen. The food was very tasty and the Lambrusco increased the mood again. We will be back definitely.

Extremely fast service

Top service .... quality always perfect

We were there for lunch and it was really worth it! Delicious pizza rolls with herb butter and very tasty mini bruschetta in advance ... the pizza and the baked pasta were also very tasty. 5 Stars!

Good attention and service with recommendation of your snail dish in herb sauce .....

We both found the selection of drinks great! The staff worked fast, clean and nice. The decorations on the tables and in the entire restaurant are decent and stylish. The toilet is always clean and all in all the place gives a harmonious impression. We also think the prices are ok.

Delicious and quality food as well as friendly and quick service

Quality and taste. Very friendly staff. Good prices. Highly recommended

Sehr gute Restauran / restaurant is very good

Very tasty, quick and friendly. It was pretty full, which speaks for La Taverna. 👍

Good food and drinks for a reasonable price. Smooth and friendly service by (according to bon, waiter 4) who served the whole thing alone. Craftsman!

Delicious eaten with a well-stocked glass of wine. Not expensive

Food was delicious. The service was friendly. It could have been a little richer. I can't say if it's different outside of lunch.

As for me, I would have preferred to try it out first, but then there would have been no more room for the good dish. The place really has potential to become my new regular place. The tables were cleaned excellently and the armchairs were extremely comfortable. Really faster and friendlier Service. I think all the staff there did a great job.

The food was very tasty. Price / performance ratio absolutely okay. However, the air in the back room is not good, as there are no windows to ventilate (at least I have not seen any). But it is very comfortable there.

The decoration on the squares and in the whole restaurant is sensible and aesthetic. The toilet is constantly clean and all in all, the restaurant gives a very good impression. The professionalism of the staff is really great. The food was not the only thing, which in this inn provides for amazement! Of course I like to try new places and I'm always looking for new places, but I'll stay true to this inn. I found the commandment very sympathetic.

In the lunch menu very reasonable prices. In this case pizza had (4,50 €) which was excellent and of which one in any case full (would 26cm diameter estimate). The service and the ambience were also great and the service was very nice. Clear recommendation, price-performance was top👍

Swift and friendly. Good food and service

Excellent food and atmosphere

Tasty, friendly and unbeatable. Really recommended!

Sunday night and we needed reliable food and we don't speak much German. Problem solved, let's do Italian. La Taverna is not destined to set the culinary world on fire but for a couple of pizzas and a couple of beers was just perfect.

Sympathetic staff, great service, cozy Italian, great food. Only the herb butter to the pizza rolls in advance could be a bit more generous. One serving was not enough for the amount of pizza rolls for 3 people. Why ever herb butter. Surely you can do something better from your Italian roots. We still like to come back when we are in Essen again.

Good food and helpful staff ,good portion

Everything rather average. The atmosphere and decor is nicely done. Only the lighting with its bright Led light makes it look sterile again. The service was friendly. The food was unfortunately not a highlight. The pizza tasted and looked like a ready made pizza. The salad was not fresh and the dressing too special. A reason for me not to stop here.

The pizza and the sauces were fine. The place is good and comfortable. Service is okay. Overall, not very exceptional but good enough 👍

The person that took my order was efficient and helpful. The pizza was not so good. I was disappointed. The crust was mediocre at best. The sauce was not very good. Their other food may be outstanding I just found the pizza to be average.

5 stars for a great service, mega delicious food and a lot of cosiness

Delicious and cheap

The food was..okay. I heard this place was supposed to be exceptional so I probably went in with high expectations.

Its absolutely fantastic restaurant..

Very tasty spinach pizza with plenty of garlic and a spot on Insalata Mista to start.
