I wouldnt have had anything negative to say about this location if it werent for the staff. I went to this location when it was still Pub 25 to support their closing and to take advantage of their discounted drink prices. I was one of the few quiet customers that kept to myself as I was there alone. There actually was a man that was got so intoxicated he locked himself in the bathroom and had to have staff members break the door in to get him out. It wasnt until that point that the owner tried to control her guests. After sitting by myself all night I decided to sit on the patio by the fire. It was here I was extremely disrespected and PHYSICALLY TOUCHED by a staff member. I was not the only (paying) customer left on the patio at this time when they started to clear people out. The bouncer proceeded to remove drinks from customers hands and unplugged the fire while everyone was huddled around it. He literally stood over me, sitting in the chair, and when I stated I had the right to finish my drink (that he has made me not even ten minutes prior) as a paying customer (and especially since it wasnt a case of me being the only one left) he demanded that I leave and became extremely short and loud-embarrassing me because I was not intoxicated but rather trying to defend my rights. He wrapped his arms around me and carried towards the door where he then proceeded to PUSH ME OUT THE DOOR WITH HIS LEG, slam the door in my face, and lock the door preventing re-entry. I spent over $50 that night to support their business. There were still people inside taking shots and drinking--including this staff member while on the clock AND the then owner-- yet no one came out to help me (including the invasive male customers that tried getting my phone number). After I calmed down in my car I attempted to apologize, even though I felt I had done no wrong. But upon walking back to the restaurant he marched outside and told to "leave the premises immediately." This same staff member also hugged me, without my approval, as I was speaking to a woman and insisted that "I liked it" when I told him to stop. I have NEVER felt this disrespected, belittled, or violated. My friends and I have spent a lot of money at this location and to be treated with such immaturity and disrespect, I wanted to leave a public rating and state that I will NEVER return and I will NEVER refer people to this place. The same staff that used to work at Pub25, including the kid mentioned above, now works at TAZZA. So to the new owners Im sorry, but Im not sorry; because of your staff I will be taking my business elsewhere, never to return here.

The waitstaff was great but the brunch was not so good. The omlet had no flavor at all. Weve been there for lunch and the food was good. If saybfo for lunch or dinner but skip the brunch.

Loved this place in the past but the menu has changed and based on a recent visit where I had a piece of plastic in my dessert, I am extremely disappointed in the experience.

Hands down Tazza is the best food in the newtown/Monroe area. You should definitely give it a shot if you like authentic Italian food.

Had a great night out catching up with my parents. The live music was perfect for the setting and the menu was enticing.

The food was good but unimaginative. Service was slow. I missed all the beer of Pub 25.
