Customer Review Summary
Steak is the dish diners name most, described as juicy and perfectly medium rare, and another reviewer says a friend's steak came just as she likes it. Close behind are the pasta, called better than other local Italian places, and generous, tasty starters, with the ravioli, wine and dessert also praised. Staff are repeatedly called friendly, welcoming and helpful, and one visitor calls the traditional Italian cooking the best dinner of their holiday. The criticism is mild but specific: one reviewer found the service a little inconsistent and thought the marinara sauce on their ravioli could have had more flavor. Several suggest booking in advance, with one saying reservations were necessary and another thinking the place gets very busy. One visitor went straight back the following evening after a first meal, noting a cheerful table of Italians nearby, and a party of eight reports that everyone received their food at the same time.

“I stumbled across La Taverner when I was staying in Llandudno quite by chance. I had eaten in a very ordinary Indian the night before and wanted something better and boy was this better! It's slightly on the edge of town so off the main area which might make it harder to find but it is well worth the effort. Having eaten there on my second evening, I went straight back to eat there again on my third evening. As proof of how authentic the place is, on the second evening there was a table of 6 Italians sitting down for a very cheerful meal. I would happily go back for more and strongly recommend it.”
