House-made pastas, simple Italian… cuisine, and a 30-foot communal table (Tavolàta) are the focal point of this urban Italian eatery. Tavolàta offers a full bar and a wine list that is 100% Italian. Tavolàta serves dinner seven nights a week from 5pm to 11pm and until 12am on Friday and Saturday. Tavolàta has a semi-private mezzanine for up to 35 guests and a small patio for seasonal dining.

"As first time guests, my group of four took advantage of Seattle's Restaurant Week specials -- all the food was fantastically prepared and tasted amazing. There's so many great dishes on the menu, we can't wait to go back and try more! The cost of food is expensive and the cocktail and wine to be in the 10$ price."

"I sat at the bar comfortably and enjoyed a couple small conversations with seat mates and the bartender, who take care of my dinner service well. He made good recommendations for wine pairing and for selecting between entrees. The gnocchi with prosciutto brodo was quite tasty. The panna cotta for dessert with balsamic and strawberries, excellent. In its league, it's a 5-star experience. I rated at 4 because it doesn't seem to intend to be a 5-star kind of restaurant."

"We had a lovely evening. The Bigoli was cooked perfectly with just the right amount of pepper. It got a little noisy towards the end of the meal, but the food more than made up for it. Our waitress was delightful too."

"Still the best pasta in Seattle. Cooked perfectly every time and not drowning in sauce, which is the way it should be. Service is attentive but at times overzealous (Please stop clearing tables while one person is still eating). Only downside is that it's way too loud."
