Best WLM Reviews
This was our first visit to Taverna. We decided to go for a special anniversary dinner. We were blown away by the food! We started with chef's choice appetizer. Very lightly breaded, tender calamari. Hubs selected the beef, and I went directly for the seafood. Everything was superbly seasoned. The fish filet was perfectly cooked along with shrimp, mussels (to die for!), and scallops. The chef came to our table and told us about the food...all made by him in house. We ended with decadent desserts. Also, the presentation of each dish was beautiful. We could not have selected a better dining experience. Highly recommend Taverna Berrocal!
My husband and I have been dying to try this place but they are open Wed-Sunday limited times which is good for a family business. We finally were able to make it and everything was delicious from drinks, to appetizers, to dinner! The Chachi Morada drink was so good and it’s made from purple corn! We will definitely be returning!!
Recently my wife and I enjoyed an excellent Saturday night at this hidden away Peruvian restaurant. We saw photos in other reviews and knew that chef Juan Carlos understood food presentation. After our dinner it was clear he also understood how to make it delicious.
The atmosphere in this small restaurant was cozy, and comfortable, and the service was very attentive.
We started with the Choros a la Chalaca as a spicy appetizer and moved to entrees of Seafood Saltado and Pescado a la Macho, both of which were excellent. While we enjoyed the spicy Choros, they were too pricey. Our entrees were priced fairly for such an enjoyable meal. We finished with deserts of Tres Leches and Tiramisu, both of which were excellent.
This is a true gem in Ocala and we hope it grows in popularity. We would suggest adding some entrees in the $15-$20 range in order to attract a wider customer base, without losing the special feeling that their signature dishes provide. We love having an excellent non-chain restaurant that provides a wonderful alternative to the usual choices in Ocala.
Super Delicious. I highly recommend making a reservation! The service was great, food was tasteful.
I’ve dined at this location at least 2-3 dozen times. I remember showing up hoping to eat at what was Sabores Latinos and disappointed that place was gone, but I was quickly won over.
This place is great and it has gotten significantly better over time. At first, there were missed or incorrect orders but I haven’t had that happen in a long time. Orders used to take a much longer time. They still take longer than other places but it is reasonable for what you get. It’s not fast food. It’s a fantastic dining experience where everything is made to order. The chef is a real pro. Everything is top notch as far as quality and freshness. Plating is beautiful. It’s has been fun to watch this place evolve and grow. The addition of pizza was an amazing surprise. I did not think a Peruvian restaurant would/could serve great pizza but was proven wrong. The pizzas are top tier. I had never tried fried pizza before but it was awesome. The Americana is still the king(new York style pepperoni pizza with a perfect crust).
One always has to judge a Peruvian restaurant by its papa a la huancaina. This place did not disappoint with that beautiful sauce. The fried rice(chaufa) is always cooked and seasoned beautifully. The lomo saltado is the best I’ve tried including NYC and Orlando locations. I enjoyed the ceviche the one time I had it. The calamari and jalea mixta are to die for (definitely the only way I’ve gotten my kids to eat fish). Too bad the pescado chicharrón is gone. The tallarín verde is great. I really wish they did the green rice and chicken (maybe one day). I hope the pescado alo macho makes a comeback. Ají de gallina and escabeche are probably my favorites off the current menu. The soups are hearty and well seasoned. The alfajores weren’t my favorite but that’s likely because they’re different than what I’m used to(these are more chewy whereas I’m use to the flaky kind). The chocolate cake was dense and chocolaty without being too sweet. The tres leches was less like the typical yellow cake and more of a pound cake or scone but stellar. The fried ice cream was AWESOME. I’m use to the Japanese style. This was more like an ice cream beignet and so much better. I had the tiramisu today and enjoyed it. The wine selection is impressive for the small location.
It’s a weird reference but I feel like this is the Led Zeppelin of restaurants. The songs remain the same but don’t always sound exactly the same. I’m a fan of those surprises and it shows the passion of the chef. Not everything on the menu is always available, but I suspect it’s to maintain the highest standard of freshness that I’ve come to expect.
Nicole is an amazing server and very attentive. The music and ambience is soothing and welcoming. This place deserves a lot more love from Ocala.
I went for Easter and enjoyed myself . The food was very good and the owner was friendly . The chef made me something that was off the menu and it was greatly appreciated . I’ll be back
Everything we ordered was delicious. The fried calamari with the dipping sauce, the Italian fries with the dipping sauce, the chicken soup was all natural & full of veggies and flavor. (I swear my immune system got a pick me up) and the sausage and mushroom pizza was different but good. ????
Amazing food. Our first time having Peruvian cuisine. Phenomenal service. The owner was very attentive & welcoming. He introduce us to some his recommendations and the history behind said dishes. Super cozy atmosphere. Our waitress,Nicole, was unbelievably thorough. Will definitely be back.
