Tavola - Vancouver, British Columbia

The hostess squeezed us in even though they were booked. The service was excellent and the food was amazing even though I only gave the food 4 stars. The spaghetti was a little undercooked. Not too bad though. The waitress bought us a free dessert because of it. Staff were ... super friendly. The atmosphere was a great vibe. I’d definitely go out of my way to experience this restaurant again. The pasta is homemade as well. Enjoy Read more

Amazing house made pasta and will definitely be back. Very busy there so make sure you have an early reservation. There was a line out the door when we left. My favourite dishes were the gnocchi and the bigoli meatballs.

Nice warm room, with a sense of old school Italian sort (50's real wood panels and red upholstery), service was prompt though not that warm and a few queues were missed.during the meal. There were enough of us that we shared an appt, salad, 4 pastas and the chicken. Not ... particularly large servings but it completely satisfied 5 of us. All the food was good and some dishes were superb. I really liked the prosciutto with burrata and a hint of lemon. The house made spaghetti noodles were excellent and done al dente with excellent chew. Combined with the sauces they were all good but the pomodoro was exceptional as was the anchovy, lemon and chillies ( I like a little more heat but that was easily remedied). The chicken was also great. We tried the tiramisu and sticky toffee pudding. Both well done but neither are my favourites. Recommended! Read more

I reserved a table at Tavola and was initially excited, thinking I had discovered an exciting Italian restaurant. However, I was quite honestly disappointed in the food. The servers were extremely professional and nice; I refrained from mentioning anything to avoid disappointing them, as they were doing everything right. However, I ... now feel like I'm doing more harm than good by not addressing the food. The hazelnut gnocchi was tasteless and somewhat bitter. The only dish I would consider ordering again is the chickpea crostini. Unfortunately, the walnut crostini was not enjoyable, and the olives showed signs of going bad with brown spots on some of them. Even the fresh burrata with sea salt didn't meet expectations. To be honest, I had high expectations based on the 4.5 rating; perhaps it was just an off night, but I doubt I would plan to go back. Read more
