Authentic, simple yet delicious Italian food! We came away full, satisfied and very happy to find this amazing restaurant. The passion and attentiveness from the staff is first class. Amazing cocktails, tasty and beautifully presented, even the non-alcoholic versions were delicious. Everything from the salad, dressed and seasoned just like in Italy to the fresh ingredients in the main dishes. The portion were substantial even the seafood starter (highly recommend). Everything was spot on and we love the bar area for drinks too - We will definitely be returning SOON even if it’s just for an Aperol Spritz! Not one to miss out on! A great new addition to the town centre!
It’s been 7 years since we lived in Italy and this was the first restaurant I have come across that has food straight out of Italy. The pizza was true Italian pizza and same with the desserts. The other dishes at our table ordered by my friends looked incredible and were! The aroma in the restaurant made it known the perfection and authenticity coming from the kitchen. Amazing food and service!
We have just returned from our first visit to this relatively new restaurant. We have always thought that Ipswich lacks an authentic Italian restaurant, well not anymore!
The service is wonderful, the staff are so polite and friendly and the food is amazing. We had such an enjoyable evening and at such a reasonable price. We are so pleased we found this little gem of a place and will certainly be returning soon
This is the best Italian restaurant ever! You must come here, the food is wonderful
We have had a fantastic night tonight here. Food was outstanding, atmosphere was very authentic and staff made you feel welcome. Would highly recommend this little piece of Italy to everyone. I am sure we will be visiting here time and time again.
A lovely restaurant! We took our son here to celebrate a fabulous parents evening. The staff made us feel extremely welcome. The food was delicious. Will definitely come back :-)
This is a great place to have drink. With great food as well.
Fantastic food and lovely service. Well worth a visit.
Amazing find, such a friendly welcome and a table was available after a few minutes, the food was very good and after seeing other diners we figured out they were returning so that’s a good sign. Looking forward to going there again.
Really nice food, good service and nice atmosphere. A corner of autentic Italy in the middle of Ipswich
Really delicious food, top quality and good value

Real Italian. Proper hosts. Scrummy swordfish.
Filippo was so helpful over email, we had to move booking from 7:30 to 8:15, arrived and warmly greated, 10 min wait at bar with drink, as place packed, it is only small, but no hardship waiting, seated and Filippo again was great, both had Mozzarella in Carrozza to start, then Tagliatelle Al Ragu for hubby which he loved and Creamy Salmon (Tagliatelle with spinach in Creamy wine and garlic sauce) for me. Only gutted we were too full for desert!
10/10 on staff, atmosphere and food! Definitely a little gem that will be visited again.
Beautiful food, attentive staff. Brilliant starters, main & dessert. Book table for Friday nights. £73 for meal for two. Food is delicious and so tasty. Atmosphere was terrific. Dessert was light and sweet. Wine very good coffe excellent.
Friend and I had an excellent meal on Friday 19th April 2023 - both had the steak with mushroom sauce, first rate. Highly recommended. Service excellent and 4/5 for atmosphere because it was a little quiet for a Friday. Well worth going.
This quaint little restaurant in Ipswich offered a very warm welcoming with classic Italian style music played to help the atmosphere.
The hosts were welcoming and very friendly and immediately took us to our table.
Food was served in a very timely manner and tasted amazing. They even double checked for any allergies upon delivering our ordered food.
The only downside was the restaurant seemed (temperature) cold.
Overall, a fantastic restaurant with beautiful tasting food at a reasonable price.
Great meal here recently. 8 of us . Service excellent. Couldn't have done more. Food really good . I had brushetta and the lasagne. Delicious. Couldn't fault it and would recommend
Went here for a wedding celebration, it was absolutely outstanding!!! The atmosphere was unique and warm, the service was friendly and well timed for our whole party to be eating together, and the food was gorgeous, everything was well presented and cooked wonderfully, the steak was juicy and lean, covered in a lovely mushroom sauce, the roast potatoes reminded me of home, and the tiramisu was made fresh and honestly I've never tasted tiramisu like it, the perfect balance of bitter and sweet flavours, soft and creamy texture. 100% reccomend this restaurant, especially for celebrations !!!
The place itself is beautiful, the staff were all so friendly, and the food tasted so good! The portions were humongous. We wanted to get desert as the starters and mains were so enjoyable. However, simply did not have room for it! A lovely choice of drinks on the menu also.
Had a lovely date night meal here a couple weeks ago, I'd been eyeing up this restaurant for a while and hadn't gotten around to booking in, I wish I hadn't waited. The starters were lovely, we both had calzones and they were packed full of toppings! The staff were very friendly and even asked if I'd like a substitution when I asked for no mushroom. We only took photos of the starters (caprese salad and whitebait), the caprese was very well presented.
Very lovely atmosphere, and decor, would recommend to anyone looking for a nice (non chain) Italian in Ipswich!
Great friendly service, superb food, lovely place and people. Did I mention great value as well. Meal with some friends, made extra special by our choice of venue, will most definitely be back.
Had a very wonderful meal. My favourite Italian restaurant in Ipswich! Will definitely come back soon.
Was here for my Christmas works meal on the 14th. The best pizza I’ve ever had! (I had the Carne), service was fantastic with all staff being incredibly friendly. Will definitely be returning in the future :D
Tavernetta serves wonderfully fresh and authentic Italian/Sicilian food. We were met with a big welcome and even on a busy Saturday lunchtime they found us a great table. The menu choices were wide and authentic and we chose from a selection of starter/sharing plates.
The food was freshy prepared and quick to arrive as they were ready. We had some local dishes you wouldn't always get from a standard 'high street' Italian, like like Arancini and Mozzarella en Carozza.
The food was tasty and the portions were huge! We definitely over ordered! Luckily, the staff provided us with some 'doggy bags' to enjoy the leftovers at home.
The wine list looks exciting and we hope to get into it on our next visit.
I was able to book easily via email. They responded quickly. Great food, good atmosphere, really friendly service. Would definitely go here again! I highly recommend this place.
Honestly exceptional. I went for the king prawn starter and pepperoni pizza. Both were a 10 out of 10. Good menu, friendly and efficient service, and lovely food. Highly recommended.
What an incredible little place. Beautiful restaurant with some amazing high quality food. Highly reccomend!
First ever time visiting Tavernetta, amazing little place in the town centre.
Absolutely my favourite place to eat in Suffolk. Fantastic food, delicious traditional Italian coffee, inviting atmosphere and 10/10 service. Will always come back time after time.
One of the best Italian places in the UK. Reminded me of the mouth watering tastes from my visit in Italy itself. The lasagna is mouth watering. The pizzas are rich and feels great to eat. Amazing drinks as well.
