La Taverna

Joan Damisa★★★★★

I went for their Thursday Pasta Night and had three different kinds of pasta which were all amazing. Their waitresses constantly have a smile on their face and they ask you every detail down to the last, they are also willing to explain things to you + give recommendations. The wine that came with the pasta was also really good and it’s never crowded here

If you like a quiet setting with just you and a few people or you and your partner, then this is a nice place to come to. However, if you are looking for the general Abuja “aesthetics” you won’t find it here. This place gave the vibe of fine dining and or event space. The starters we got were not bad. Although the bread was a bit stale, it wasn’t bad (I didn’t take a picture). As for the drinks, I did like the Chapman due to too much cucumbers in it but that is a personal preference. The Virgin mojito was basically ice on top and drink in the bottom (wasn’t bad but too much). The Daiquiri was really nice for sure. We also got quesadillas and they were goodddd. I would recommend the beef Quesadillas. The food was good, very very good. I got the Butter Chicken which came with rice and my friends got Spaghetti Bolognese and the other got pizza. The pizza is what I had a problem with. The pepperoni tasted raw in my opinion. Other than that, it was good. I would recommend this place to p

La Taverna, a restaurant found in Lagos and Abuja. Since I had been to the one in Lagos for pizza and sangria, it was only thoughtful to have a feel of the Abuja branch when I got wind of it. It is located on the 5th floor of the Statement Hotel in central area. I like the welcoming wall with different scribbled writing of meals and places. The waiters were courteous and very hands-on, assisting with opening doors as well as serving meals. The portion was perfect for a restaurant in their rights. I would have appreciated it if it had more shredded chicken. I asked for medium spicy, and I felt the 🌶 The pineapple fresh juice was refreshing.

Hello guys it was my very good friends 40th yesterday and he picked an amazing spot 5 floors up in the heart of Abuja!. The ambiance is amazing and it’s a lovely spot for a date or a birthday party like we had. The tacos were amazing and the food was good. We had a variety of dishes from different people so I got to taste a bit of everything and it was good. The service was very professional and we had a private time as it wasn’t crowded or noisy. The only snag was the bar constantly blending a milkshake when a speech or toast was on 🥲 other than that it was an amazing experience.

A beautiful space on the 5th floor of statement hotel. My friends and i visited on Thursday after work for their pasta thursdays and it was amazinggg. We ordered the pesto gnocchi , chicken arabiatta, linguini and sea food ragu pasta. We also had chicken and beef tacos and a bottle of wine. The pastas were a minimum of 8s all round. The beef tacos were better than the chicken so i’d advise you get that instead. We had a sweet red and it paired well with the pasta. All pasta’s were tomato based except the gnocchi which was creamy but equally as rich. They had a spanish la cura cha cha like beat playing in the background and it set the tone for the restaurant wonderfully. The outdoor sitting had fairy lights and as the evening wore on, I really appreciated it. I felt like i was at a wine tasting vinedo in tuscany. It was a great time.

For starters I had taco and sweet potatoe wedges My goodness! This is not on the menu but they will make it for you if they have the ingredients. It was so juicy and delicious For main course I had the seafood paella. There was so much seafood in the food I was impressed. Every spoon of rice had obstacle😁 I had the red sangria which is like one of the best drinks ever! It’s infused with fruits and alcohol All the portions were mighty, food was priced moderately and I enjoyed my time here

Great Environment and Music. Staff are courteous and professional. We ordered the Seafood Paella and the Chicken Paella - both orders took an hour to arrive, and when it finally came, the rice was soggy and halfway burnt at the bottom. It was quite disappointing. I guess the chef was having a bad day or something. The servers also had to be prompted to at least bring drinks while the food was taking forever. The chicken tacos 🌮 were great! Would have been great to experience the rooftop, but it was a rainy day, so we had to stay indoors. The restroom was clean.

Nice food and great atmosphere. Excellent customer service too. I really enjoyed me pasta and mojito. This is a great spot for a chilled night out with friends and loved ones. Compared to surrounding restaurants prices were higher. Photos were taken at night using night mode feature which I think is really cool.
