  My wife first went with her book club. She raved about the food. I enjoyed lunch there today. The lunch Prix Fixe is what I chose. Three courses; first course I chose the pasta fagioli soup. It is a white version not the red. It was excellent and hearty. For the entree I chose the chicken Parmesan. It was a tough choice. There are many delicious options. I haven’t had Chicken Parmesan in a while and am glad I chose it. The pasta was a perfect al dente. The sauce was fresh, light, and flavorful. The chicken was a generous portion, crispy, cooked perfectly, and covered in sauce and melted cheese. I could only eat about half of the entree. Glad I left room for dessert. I chose the tiramisu. I was sweet but balanced and the perfect size to finish my lunch with. We also shared an appetizer, it isn’t part of the prix fixe. Salumeria board is what we enjoyed. I included a photo. It was delicious and balanced. Christopher, our server, was amazing. We didn’t feel rushed or neglected. He was always there at just the right time. My only critique would be that there were crumbs between the linen table cloth and the paper table cover. It wasn’t a little bit either. It gives lazy and lack of care. This contradicted the entirety of my experience. It wasn’t from the previous gust today. We were the first table as we got there when they opened. The men’s room was well stocked, immaculate, and smelled clean. Overall would 100% recommend. We are planning to go back and try the dinner Prix Fixe.

  I occasionally organize a lunch with some friends that I work with and some who have retired so we all can stay connected. I’ve been doing at Tavolo in Smithfield for the last few years. Cheryl usually handles our table. Today we had 14 folks. She was, once again, absolutely amazing!! She is so efficient, prompt, friendly, funny, provides awesome service and handles a huge table with ease. Please know she is gem!! The food is aways great, everyone loves it! We will continue our gatherings there. We appreciate you!

  I recently visited Tavolo with family for a quiet birthday celebration. My husband and I were very pleasantly surprised to see vegan ravioli on the menu! We each ordered a plate topped with a flavorful marinara and a side of broccoli rabe which was steamed perfectly. Delicious and filling. It was a lovely meal.

  For the third time over the last several months we sat at the bar yesterday 4/21 for the buck a shuck special. Our evening began nicely with Cheryl taking care of us but then she left and Jess took over and thus began too the most insulting and mortifying experience at that restaurant. Jess accused us without cause of having an attitude and then basically ignored us until I had to call her over. Several times she dropped the F Bomb in conversations with customers. She told her customers not to sit near us . We were my wife and I and two friends who were there for the first time and sadly last! I will never return to that restaurant when she is working or still working there and I will share my experience with my family and friends. And we really enjoyed going for that bar special, but now that joy is ruined. I am over 70 years old and have never experienced behavior by the bartender Jess anywhere else in my life. Tavolo may have just lost two good paying customers.

  I visit this establishment weekly and it’s been amazing every time. The bartender Jess is absolutely the best and will take care of it all. It’s a must if you’re in the area! Amazing food, service, and atmosphere!
