    Great Italian restaurant, our food was really good and the service was outstanding. We loved the place, we sat at the bar first to have one drink, great cocktail options! but then we moved to eat outside "al fresco" because the weather was very favorable. The menu is short and simple with excellent options for appetizer , main meal like pastas and the common italian dishes with a gourmet twist. We will go back to try other things in the menu.

We look forward to welcoming you back to explore even more of what we have to offer! Best regards, Valerio Lombardozzi

    Our party of 9 was celebrating a birthday and from the second we sat down, we just had the best experience! Our server, Justin, was attentive, helpful, and so on top of everyone’s drinks the whole night. We all really enjoyed the octopus antipasti, pacherri pasta, and bolognese. Outstanding service, can’t wait to return!

    I recently dined at Tavola, and overall, it was a pleasant experience. The restaurant truly shines in terms of ambience—warm lighting, tasteful décor, and a cozy yet elegant atmosphere that makes for a perfect dining setting. Whether you’re here for a romantic dinner or a casual gathering, the environment enhances the experience. The customer service was also impressive. The staff was attentive, friendly, and professional, ensuring that we were comfortable and had everything we needed throughout the meal. As for the food, it was decent but didn’t quite stand out. While the dishes were well-prepared and presented nicely, the flavors didn’t leave a lasting impression. It was enjoyable but not particularly memorable. Overall, if you’re looking for a restaurant with a fantastic ambience and great service, Tavola is a wonderful choice. If food quality is your top priority, it’s good but may not exceed expectations.
