Tavolena offers a delightful taste of Italy in a stylish atmosphere. The ambiance is undeniably chic and sophisticated. But the true star of the show is the food. The gnocchi was melt-in-your-mouth delicious, the scallops were cooked to perfection, and the creme brulee and cannoli were the perfect way to end the meal.

What truly impressed me was the owner and chef, Mike, personally coming out to introduce himself and ensure our meal was cooked to his top standards. This added touch of hospitality made the dining experience even more special.

Highly recommend Tavolena for an unforgettable Italian dining experience in Jupiter, where delicious food meets warm hospitality.

Edit from, my first review of this restaurant as i had previous concerns that I needed to have addressed.

This morning he called me directly to ensure that my probblem had been taken care of. He informed me that it is just him and his wife who are handling a lot of the service work in the background. They are working on building out the buisness but need some time to get the support system in place at the moment.

The owner truly cares about his buisness like its his own child and I can appreciate that level of dedication.

And remember, never jump to conclusions before hearing out the facts

My wife and I celebrated our anniversary last night at Tavolena. My only negative would be is that everything on menu looked so good we overate. We had the gnocchi and meat balls for appetizers, both were outstanding , the sauce for the gnocchi was so tasty and the gnocchi was so light but fabulous. The meatballs were also very good , almost as good as my wife’s and my late mom. For the main course my wife had the pasta with sausage and broccoli Rob. I had the special Osso Bucco, which again was outstanding , the veal was so tender and the gravy was extremely good. The chef came over to the table and offered us his special almond cookies, which again was great. The service was attentive without being over rushed , turned out our waited was Tyler the chef’s son. Everyone is so attentive from hostess who greeted us (Chef’s wife) to the busboys and girl. The chef also explained his private table room, and we are planning to go back with friends to enjoy that. It’s a small place but very comfortable. It was the best Italian food that we have had since moving here . It’s a must visit for anyone who enjoys Italian food.
