The Taverna is just around the corner from the Morrison Hotel. They have a very nice outdoor patio for dining and the interior is also lively and inviting. Nice, friendly owners and staff.

I recently visited the Taverna C for two evening meals which were well received by both groups of diners. I try to eat at the Taverna if I am in Old Town Alexandria or in the Washington, DC area.
