a tavola

lovely. simple, delicious food in a romantic setting.greatfriendly, helpful service.

slightly disappointed that the "wild mushroom" pasta was actually 90% button mushrooms with a couple of small pieces of pine mushroom thrown in, but delicious anyway - homemade pasta was seriously special.

located in the hussle and bussle of victoria road opp anothergreateatery namely the victoria rooms, this gourmet restaurant servesgreatfood at above average prices. follow the tips from the well trained waiters. i did and was very impressed with their choices. crowd is possibly too well heeled. pretentious professionals preening and pouting across the rather long communal main-feature dining table. still, enjoyed the experience. no rush to return. but if i were shouted a meal there i would jump at the chance.

pasta wasgreathowever wow this place can get really loud and hot. we couldn’t wait to get out of there.

really questioning the covid safe practices they’re implementing (or lack there off) - too crowded and tables squished next to each other.

a colleague and i went for a saturday lunch and we impressed. we had agreatchat with the waiter about the freshly made pastas. the spaghetti with mussels was excellent. the texture was perfect al dente, but different from dried spaghetti. it complimented the mussels very well. and gosh there were so many. the gnocchi was firm and delicious. the house dessert was very very good. and comes with a nice surprise. will definitely go back.

delicious food andgreatservice. the truffle pasta special was amazing! we also had steak tartare and it was one of the yummiest and most interesting steak tartare’s i’ve had! the ragu pasta and dessert were also really good.
definitely a favourite spot!

of the abundant italian restaurants, a tavola was the place to be on a monday night.greatatmosphere and amazing waitstaff service. food was beautiful. i highly recommend the roast pork or if you’re wanting to try their pasta, i would recommend their pappardelle. enjoyed the experience and i will definitely come back again.

the most amazing food and italian experience. my 9 yr old son and i loved it...a must go in sydney.
fresh pasta, amazing service,greatchoice of italian wines. small place so book ahead. all staff were bellissimo

authentic italian food. i would highly recommend this for pasta lovers. 

the pasta here is amazing. the pappardelle was so silky and the sauce was thick and rich full of meaty flavour. the squid ink pasta was also great, but there wasn't much seafood.greatrestaurant for a catch up, but you're only allowed to stay for 2hours

great food and service. i would highly recommend a visit to enjoy agreatmeal. the pasta's are sensational! bravo
the service was fantastic and i'd go back in a heartbeat

this is a romantic restaurant that is the perfect date spot for any special occasion. the staff are friendly, the wine list is amazing and the fresh made pasta is to die for in their dishes. this is italian dining as it should be. the huge communal table isgreatif you enjoy the buzz of the happy crowd and the back room tables perfect if you want to wine and dine alone with your special someone. go for any of the pasta dishes with any of the seafood options and you can’t go wrong. as this place is for a special occasion the price reflects that. having only frequented the one in the city i will say that one at bondi looks just as enticing - will have to head there for that next special evening.

we came by on a friday for an early dinner without a booking, and were lucky that they can fit us in. we were seated in the middle of the big communal table as you enter, sharing it with other diners. the atmosphere wasgreatas the place start to fill up, people chattering away, warm lighting & inviting decor. the staff were friendly. we had some oysters to start, natural and with a blood orange granita, both styles were nice and fresh, perfect way to start a meal. for mains i had one of the specials, the baby octopus with casarecce pasta. i've never had casarecce pasta before, which is a long piece of pasta in a twisted s shape. aside from the shape, the pasta itself was a bit dense, together with cime di rapa sauce (which is made from the green veg rapini and has a bitter tone), the dish has a real rustic, earthy, winter feel. it was nice, but for me was just a bit too heavy. my friends had a couple of the other specials, which were both superb, and gave me food envy! the pappardelle with lamb ragu had the silkiest of pappardelle. the squid ink spaghetti had a nice flavour and fresh seafood. the only real disappointment was the complementary bread which was a little bit dried. but really just a very minor chip off agreatmeal.

seriously delicious!!  we really felt we were in italy with thegreatfresh produce, lovely setting and the wait staff were fantastic. will definitely be back!

the layout of a tavola is incredible! they have turned an old house into agreatrestaurant. the vibe isgreatand the staff make you feel like you're in a modern day italy. all the food we had was delicious!! if you don't mind paying a little bit more forgreatfood, you have to check this place out.

i couldn't fault this place in any way - service, food, atmosphere - waiters aregreat- really know their stuff. we let the waiter decide what we should eat so that we could have a mouth party!

i live pretty close yet i havent been to a tavola even though i have read manygreatreviews about the place. it was only when my mum who was visiting from overseas wished to have some pasta i decided to take her there to celebrate her birthday.

as it was friday lunch, the restaurant wasn't that busy and we sat the back where there were non communal tables. staff were all friendly and the food we ordered was delicious! 

we started off with some glasses of wine and their scallops (special menu) which looked delicate but was light and had lots of flavour. their signature pappardelle ragu was silky smooth and so so good! we had to order one each so that we did not fight over it. we also had their cos lettuce salad for our side which was light, refreshing and cut the richness the of the ragu. 

we couldn't leave without trying their dessert so we had their signature cremino which was nice but i found it too rich and thought of my husband who would love this dessert. my mums mango tart with cinnamon ice cream was nicer and their cinnamon ice cream was amazing. heavy in cinnamon flavour (which i love, and wish it was a bigger scoop!) with the mango tart being more of a lighter dessert which was better to end the heavy meal. 

still i'm glad i got to try a tavola and i will be back with my husband who will love their pappardelle and cremino.
