Taverna Austin (Downtown) | The Baci Room

Had the Lobster Benny during my visit. It was very delicious. Got a bottle of champagne for the table and was given a warm bottle. Had to ask them for a chilled bottle and an ice bucket. Service was still very friendly!

We came here for my SIL’s bach. Food was actually really good but one of our waiters was rude and we didn’t feel very welcome. They told us they would bring out sparklers with the dessert but apparently “ran” out and this was before 10 PM. We also asked if we could be moved to an actual table if possible but they looked at us like it was the biggest inconvenience to even ask the hostess.

Hey. Love yalls food and place, been there in person several times, this time I ordered to go. But…why is this labeled as a focaccia? This a whole pizza. Just saying! It was obviously still delicious, but we ordered thinking it was share plate/app. Just a heads up to anyone else ordering this.

This was my favorite restaurant. I made a reservation for my birthday. We came at 8pm. My husband and best friend went to the table while I went to use the restroom. I never ran into a server or manager. Just walked back to my table. That day was my 48th birthday celebration and we had gone indoor skydiving. Then went to my condo to get ready for dinner. We each had one glass of wine while getting ready. Upon getting back to the table I said hello to our server and asked that my husband choose a wine. At this point he told me his manager "heard me slurring" and so did he. And that he could not serve me. I was so confused. I was not intoxicated at all! I thought maybe it was my new invisilign trays that made someone think I was slurring? I asked to see the manager that "heard me slurring" and she came to the table. I had never seen her. Her name was Samantha. The server said his name was Ryan. Because I was sober, I tried to reason that maybe they had maybe mistaken me for someone else or misunderstood my speech with my new mouth pieces. I can't stress how humiliating that was. I was mortified. I even went so far to let them know I lived close and we took a Lyft. Even though I was not drunk or acting drunk. I have no other words. Just humiliated. We walked to another nice restaurant that did not think I was at all intoxicated and had a lovely dinner there. I was reminded my my friends that I should mention that I suffer from a stutter. At the time I did not mention because I was acting like a proper lady and thought my explanation of my mouth pieces were enough.

We really enjoyed our brunch here. The $3 bellinis are tasty for the price :) and our waitress was attentive and kind. I’ve been here numerous times and have always been impressed by the quality of the food.

Love love love Traverna for their chocolate Lava cake dessert! Its one of the best ones I’ve ever had! The starters are all great. We get the squash zucchini chips every time when we go! They come with a dip that is to die for. If you want the pasta in the cheese wheel, you need to be seated inside. They can’t do the cheese wheel presentation in the outdoor seating area unfortunately. The Chopped salat is amazing and you can change the protein from Chicken to salmon. When its someone’s birthday you get a free dessert! We got an amazing Panna Cotta! Parking: Parking Garage is close by and the restaurant can validate your ticket. You just need to tell the waiter Wheelchair accessibility: No stairs to get into the restaurant!
