One Of The Most Rustic Restaurants In Delaware Is Also One Of The Most Delicious

Newark may be the best foodie town in Delaware. Not only is it the place to go for the best bagels around, but the ice cream from UDairy is famous across the state, and up and down Main Street, restaurants are packed with students, commuters, and locals alike. One spot that always seems to draw a crowd is Taverna. This rustic Italian trattoria serves up homestyle cuisine that's among the best you'll find here in the First State.

Taverna is easy to spot on Main Street, with big bright windows facing the road and practically welcoming you in with open arms.

This cozy restaurant features a dining room and bar area, and both will make you feel right at home.

Enjoy an elegant meal here that's reminiscent of Tuscany, one of Italy's most famous culinary regions.

Start off with homemade bread to dip and enjoy, but make sure you don't scarf it all down so that you save room for the incredible meal that's soon to come.

Taverna's brick oven is always hard at work making rustic pies, from traditional margherita to their signature San Daniele with prosciutto, mozzarella, arugula, and their homemade tomato sauce.

There are plenty of traditional Italian entrees to choose from, like chicken taverna and gnocchi fra diavolo.

You'll also find a variety of handhelds on the menu, so if you're craving a burger or meatball sandwich, you're in luck.

If you have somehow managed to save room for dessert, try their signature brownie or any of their featured specials. Your sweet tooth will be grateful!

Come in to Taverna and make yourself at home. This cozy and rustic Delaware restaurant is an instant classic along Newark's Main Street.
