In Southlake’s Park Village, one spot has turned pizza and beer into a local ritual since 2016.
Taverna Rossa blends Italian roots with Texas attitude, serving stone-fired pies and craft drinks in a space that feels both lively and welcoming.
What keeps neighbors coming back isn’t just the menu—it’s the live music on weekends, the daily specials that become standing plans, and a team that treats regulars like family.
This is the kind of place where Friday night means friends, fresh pizza, and a song you can’t help but tap your foot to.
How Taverna Rossa Won Southlake Hearts
Taverna Rossa opened in 2016 as part of the 33 Restaurant Group, which also runs its sibling location in Plano.
The brand’s promise is simple: Italian by birth, Texas raised, with wood-fired pizza and cold beer as the headliners.
Locals quickly adopted it as a go-to for everything from after-work drinks to weekend family dinners.
The restaurant leans into daily specials that give people a reason to visit on any night of the week.
Monday brings $8 Rossa Ritas during happy hour, while Tuesday offers half-price wine bottles up to $70.
Wednesday highlights featured whiskeys and a $10 Fancy Free cocktail, and Thursday keeps tequila lovers happy with $8 Socorro Blancos.
Sunday Funday means $5 mimosas and $8 Bloody Marys until 3 PM, a ritual for many recovering from a big week.
Beyond the drinks, the space has become known for live bands on Friday and Saturday nights, drawing crowds for blues, country, and rock with a local flavor.
The team curates a worldly craft beer selection alongside handcrafted cocktails using 33 RG hand-selected spirits, so there’s always something new to try.
Families appreciate the kids’ menu, while groups love the long communal tables that make sharing easy.
The covered outdoor area with heaters extends the season, making patio nights possible even when the Texas weather turns.
Regulars mention friendly managers who help guide gluten-free guests through the menu with care.
Over time, Taverna Rossa has become more than a restaurant—it’s a community hub where neighbors catch up, celebrate, and unwind.

Orzo Caprese: Fresh mozzarella, chilled orzo, baby heirloom tomatoes, cashew pesto, aged balsamic, and sea salt make this a bright, textured starter worth saving room for. 🥗

Nutty Grape: Mixed greens with sliced red grapes, prosciutto, and goat cheese finish with a white pistachio balsamic dressing for a salad that’s surprisingly bold. 🍇
-
El Pastor Pizza: Roasted tomatillo habanero sauce, braised pork, chorizo, onion, tequila-caramelized pineapple, cilantro, mozzarella, and lime crema create a smoky, spicy, slightly sweet pie. 🍕

Chicken Parm En Fuego: Breaded chicken breasts over bucatini in house-made ghost pepper marinara, blanketed with provolone, deliver heat and comfort in one pan. 🌶️

-
Chef’s Damn Good Deviled Eggs: A happy hour staple at $7, these are creamy, well-seasoned, and the kind of shareable bite that disappears fast. 🥚
