    We visited Tavolo for our anniversary and noted the occasion on our reservation, so we were hoping for a more thoughtful seating arrangement. Instead, we were placed at a very small table right next to the entry door of a private room, with very little space between us and the neighboring table. Our candle wasn’t lit, and the celebration didn’t appear to be acknowledged, which made the setup feel a bit disappointing for a special night. The food itself was excellent, and the evening was brightened by the two wonderful young ladies seated beside us who offered to take our annual anniversary photo and even let us borrow their lit candle, such a kind gesture that helped turn things around. While we enjoyed the meal, the overall experience fell short of what we hoped for on a meaningful occasion. We’re glad we tried it, but left feeling a bit underwhelmed given the special nature of our visit.

    Food was good, service was good, went when it was cold out so the atmosphere wasn’t anything to write home about, but I’m sure when it’s nice out and the doors are open and you can sit in the porch it’s a 10/10

    Went with a group of coworkers recently. The service was great! Food was good - the group ordered quite a variety and I enjoyed the potato gnocchi. My companions praised the large selection and quality of wine available. The place was fairly busy so it got very loud, but it was still a good experience.

    The manager, Ken, runs an incredible staff of hardworking and incredible people. Being a manager in retail myself, he put on an absolute display of what it means to lead from the front. Ken was behind the bar cleaning glasses and the bar top as well as running orders and checking in tables. The team is cohesive and thrives because of what he does here. The food, the drinks, the atmosphere are all incredible but the service is what really stood out to us. Go here. Go here multiple times. Take a moment to watch a masterclass in putting customers and clients first.
