About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Charming
  • Great for fine wines
TAVERNA is nestled in Saskatoon's historic downtown core within walking distance of a number of major hotels in the renowned entertainment district. The building was originally the grocery section of the J.F. Cairns Department Store dating back to 1907. Taverna still maintains a historical charm and character, serving delicious, exceptionally well-prepared Italian American food since 1969. Simultaneously comfortable yet aspirational.

We believe that keeping the food fresh, simple and whole is the secret to a successful dish. Italian food doesn't have to be complicated or elaborate to be spectacular.

    We were in town for a swim meet and looking for a good pasta restaurant. Taverna did not disappoint. The food was top quality and delicious, the service was great and the atmosphere is cozy and relaxing. Will definitely be back again on our next trip to Saskatoon.

    We enjoyed our meals and wine and the chocolate dessert was EXCELLENT! Pretty sweet, but perfect to share. We were so full with the huge portions that we ended up with 3 take away boxes — looking forward to leftovers!

    Took my granddaughter (29) for dinner for her birthday. The service was excellent! The food was exceptional and authentic Italian. A very decadent chocolate desert bearing a candle was presented to the birthday girl, gratis! Food portions were more than adequate. Would highly recommend this dining place.

    Table across was 6 young men - very noisy. But everyone has the right to have a good time! This was just mildly annoying to some at my table. I would not have mentioned except you asked for feedback !!
