Good food, good wine list, good atmosphere, with excellent service. My one complaint is that they had no Peroni beer. Peroni should be in a every Italian restaurant, as it's Italy's national beer! When I brought this to the owners attention he was a bit snarley and defensive about it, instead of being gracious and understanding.

So pleased that Tavola is open for brunch/lunch on weekends! The street side patio welcomes dogs and provides a calm and attractive dining experience for a summer day. Our server, Anita, greeted us warmly and provided both attentive service and excellent recommendations! The food and drinks were very high quality and enjoyed by all in our group. We are looking forward to a return visit!

This little neighbourhood Italian spot in the Westend often flys under the radar, but it’s well worth repeat visits. Their dishes are consistently fresh and delicious with excellent daily specials. The wine list is a little limited considering the calibre of food they offer, but one can usually find something decent at good value. The warm and inviting staff usually provide very good service in an atmosphere that is both comfortable and unpretentious. Some of the hits include: bigoli and meatballs, brick chicken and sticky toffee pudding.

We thoroughly enjoyed our dinner at Tavola last night!! With a neighborhood vibe, the layout incorporates outdoor seating, covered outdoor seating and of course indoors as well, an easy flow from one to the other and all with a refined comfort! We chose to eat at the bar, it was as comfortable, the bar top being deeper than most. Our meal was superb! The wine list , Italian Wines, was better than most, the bartender was infinitely familiar with the selections and guided us well to a lovely lighter cabernet. It was real clear too that the staff were joyful in their work rounding out our immensely enjoyable evening.

I recently ordered the Custom Vegetarian Gnocchi Cacio e Pepe and wanted to share some feedback. While I appreciated that the server was friendly and attentive, the dish itself didn’t meet expectations, the gnocchi were notably very bland and lacked the bold flavors typically associated with cacio e pepe. It felt under-seasoned and didn’t deliver the characteristic peppery punch or creamy intensity I was hoping for. Also, it wasn’t the right proportion for the 1 person. It felt like appetizers for $30 which is really expensive for a small dish. I wanted to bring this to your attention in case others have similar concerns. Perhaps a slight adjustment in seasoning or cheese could help elevate the flavor. Thank you for offering a pleasant experience overall, and for taking the time to consider this suggestion.

This is one of my favourite restaurants in Vancouver. Everything on the regular menu is great, but I am always blown away by the delicious meat, or fish features. The servers are gems. If you are in the west end this is a must visit place.
Our favourite Italian in Vancouver. Never disappoints menus always changing. Food is always top notch

When we ordered we asked if we could order a course at a time, but the waiter said it was better for the kitchen if we ordered all at once. We agreed and said we were NOT in a hurry, which he said was fine as they weren’t in a hurry and so wouldn’t rush us. He then brought our pastas when we had only had a few bites of our salad; offered to take them back and have them remade (SUCH a waste so we didn’t do that). He forgot one of the side dishes we ordered, and kept trying to take glasses and plates before we were finished. The restaurant was busy but NOT jammed. The food was only ok. I’ve had such lovely experiences there in the past so this was very disappointing.

Freshest burrata ever (and if you love burrata, you know how hard it is to find a good quality one in Vancouver)! On par with the top quality ones you can get in Italy. Amazing quality tomatoes in the pasta sauce and also, just really well paced and attentive service.
