Independent neighbourhood restaurant, the type you’d want to be a regular at. Simple ingredients and dishes that make you feel right. Service that makes you feel a little warmer than before. Extra shout out to the anchovy spaghetti and the two strangers at the bar splitting the sticky toffee pudding

Love this place. Food, winner and service is good. It was busy but then, it was a Friday evening! Very popular.

Great place! The daily specials never disappoint. Service is always on point. I love to sit at the bar with a book and a glass of red ?
Delighted to be a regular at Tavola! Our frequent visits are a testament to the enduring excellence in both food quality and service. The consistent perfection over the years keeps us coming back for more delightful dining experiences.

The staff seem nice enough and our server was very professional. My friend ordered the bigoli and really liked it, but I found my cacio e pepe goopy — I wondered if it had been made with butter or cream — not being against cream or butter, (and noodles were nicely al dente) it tasted fine but if you are craving authentic cacio e pepe, this isn’t it. This restaurant has such cozy comfy potential with its warm decor but the acoustics were like a noisy bar — and the restaurant was only 1/2 to 2/3 full when we were there (Monday). Writing this review because I think the noise factor, if fixed, will help this place a lot!

Not crowded, cozy place. It was our wedding anniversary and I had booked the table for us via online reservation mentioning the same. Despite of good food, amazing taste and okay service I thought like any Vancouver restaurant does special dessert surprises for birthdays or anniversaries this would be done too. To my surprise there wasn't any for unfortunately. Wish they could have done something to make our evening more special. Since it was not a crowded night as well. There's always room for improvement. Hope they look into this and increase customer satisfaction with these small gestures.Food was good and quantity for two was also good. We ordered Crostini, fish for the day and chicken brick with some White wine.
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.

I went there with a lot of enthusiasm to eat fresh original pasta!Unfortunately, what I ordered was not the pasta we would normally expect as it was mainly potatoes. I believe the description should have been more precise for those who are not completely familiar with the food as it was written under the category of Pasta!The food portion was relatively small!The roasted potato was very average!The resturant was very noisy!On the plus side, our host was very nice and friendly.Overall, the food was fresh and the presentation was nice but from my perspective given the small portions, it is not value for money!
Fantastic food and great service
The best food and experience!
