ABOUT

BORN IN EUROPE, RAISED IN DAVIDSONVILLE

In 2017 Rik and Pam Squillari decided to open Harvest Thyme Tavern, wanting to build something special.  Together, they’ve created a unique culinary experience that’s the perfect blend of their two cultures – Rik’s handcrafted dishes inspired by the robust flavors of Italy and Pam’s signature bread and pastries stemming from her Eastern European heritage.
 
The Squillaris personally curate the menu and adapt it seasonally, bringing their guests the freshest, all-natural ingredients available, like locally grown Fried Green Heirloom Tomatoes in the summer and Blue Hubbard Squash Cheesecake in the fall. This dedication to sustainably sourced, fresh produce and top-notch meat and seafood has cultivated an enthusiastic, tried-and-true following with locals.
 
When you visit, you’ll spot Rik making the rounds to say hello or suggest a wine pairing. His passion for wine is unparalleled, and his collection of small-batch and unique varietals from all corners of the globe is highly acclaimed. Remember to ask him why he believes there is a story in every pour.
 
Rik, Pam, and their talented and charismatic team, many of whom have been with them from the beginning, hope you feel like you’re part of the family when you walk into Harvest Thyme Tavern.

You guys nailed our first dining experience here. Out to dinner with new friends, we had such a better time because we ate here. I had a delicious pasta, and my wife had the amazing meatloaf with baby turnips…. TURNIPS….who would have thought?!

5/5

This place NEVER disappoints. Out of the ordinary Huntsman with rabbit, boar, elk and more. Shareable meatball app. Killer wine list. EVERYTHING is made from scratch. The bartenders are experienced and can shake it with the best. Class act.

What a hidden gem! They have a good happy hour, and a nice wine selection. I typically get one of the specials for dinner and have never been disappointed. The owner is always there & very friendly and hands on. If you love a good dessert, I highly recommend the Harvest Smash á la mode…it’s worth the calories.
