Warning: this isn’t ground-breaking analysis here (and apologies for this post’s title). But, I thought it worth mentioning how much I enjoyed my brunch at Taverna yesterday. My husband and I were sans toddler and dressed-uppish from Mass, and, although we frequent Ozona, we were feeling a little more spiffy than the hungover masses we would rub shoulders with at the bloody Mary bar. Taverna’s bottomless mimosas—much stronger than on my last visit—and Eggs Al Forno all ‘Olio Tartufato (two fried eggs laid neatly on bruschetta, plated with breakfast potatoes and a side of ham subbed for sausage, all drizzled with truffle oil) fit the bill. I left feeling tipsy and pleasingly full. What more could you ask for before noon on a Sunday?
Taverna is great, and never seems crowded when I go for brunch (secret’s out!). But I wish they served pulp-free orange juice with their mimosas. Nothing is grosser than the bits of pulp stuck to the champagne flute.
I enjoyed my brunch food at Taverna, but our waiter definitely rushed us. I was disappointed that I didn’t get to take full advantage of my bottomless mimosa. I agree the mimosas were strong, but I would have enjoyed a little more orange juice, as they were mostly all champagne. Plus, the crowd was a little “douchey.” I don’t know if I’ll go back for brunch.
