   Stopped in Spokane on the way to Glacier NP and found this gem downtown. Food was excellent and service was great. Shared the roasted 1/2 chicken with risotto and a salad. Great flavors and taste.

   Not comfortable seating and had music that did not quite match theme (punk and rock). Big tables for big groups. We felt odd going there for our date. However, I could see this being great for large gatherings. High ceilings. Food was not bad. Had better Italian in town, BUT it was tasty and well plated. Servers were very pleasant and kind.

   Very disappointed. We have been here before and honestly not sure why we go back. It's never been great, but we spent almost $200 before tip and it was about a $100 meal at the most. My pasta had almost zero protein in it. The appetizer was small. $16 for green beans!? It's way overpriced and just overall disappointing.

    First time we tried Tavolata. The food was excellent and our server was attentive. Our only concern was that the background music was loud and wirh a heavy bass that made the experience less than optimal. Overall would recommend this restaurant.

    It was a rare date night and excited to try a new eatery. As a Chef and Maitre d’ instructor, it’s always challenging to receive poor reviews, so I’m struggling with this higher end restaurant! I look forward to in-house Italian bread, crusty outside and chewy firm interior, it’s the only time I eat it. Bread arrived 15 minutes after seated and was a doughy brown whole wheat sandwich style, just did not fit with the meal. Homemade pasta is always a treat but this was ‘Molto al dente’ thru all courses. Entrées arrived 5 minutes after beginning our appetizers, so sent them back to kitchen. We had only just opened an expensive wine! Chef sent a complimentary dish of broccolini of which was not on menu and stems where woody and old. Service was friendly but disconnected with poor attention to detail. Asked several times for the same forgotten items. For a Saturday it not a busy night, seemed less than 1/2 capacity. The service requires some serious training!! Burrata with pickled carrots was excellent! Pork belly dish, dry! How can pork belly be dry? English pea ravioli, peas where crunchy and ravioli again needed more cooking time(should be firm enough to bite without feeling a crunch). In my opinion the bland sliced potatoes served no purpose in this dish! Casarecce pasta with prawns was misleading. It appeared to have only ‘one’ which had been cut into small pieces. See pic. Chocolate torte, w/ “house cherry” compote, arrived with a ‘canned’ style strawberry sauce (I’m allergic to strawberries) and torte was very dry. Allergies are serious issues in food industry and menu labeling is of utmost importance. I had to get up to quickly to search once again for server, rush home and receive medicine. I was told the chef may speak with me regarding mistake, but to date, no follow through! I Will not return, check was close to $300 and discounted. At this level everything should be en pointe. Sadly very disappointing, scale of 1-10, it’s a 4 for me. Service 2.

    They only had bar area open not restaurant due to short staffing. There was one bartender and one server. Service was great, though, and the food was delicious as always. This would be a good date place or a nice dinner. The Nero pasta was excellent. Burrata app is also highly recommended!

    Some of the fresh pasta items were amazing while others were somewhat average. In a world of creative cocktails the ones here were not exceptional and the desserts were the same. E.g., Gelatos were great but tiramusu and flourless chocolate cake were very average.

    Music didn’t fit - too loud with heavy back beat. Pastas were good - skimped on the protein. Salads and cocktails very good. Service was good - interesting the wait staff so casually attired - nice standard clothing would have been nice. Overall, good mid-level food and environment. Could be taken to the next level with some simple tweaks.

    Highly recommend Tavolata. Food was amazing! We each tried something different and all were great. The Salumi board appetizer was delicious. I had the Pappardelle pasta with the Ragu and it was fantastic. Aaron, our server was super fun and attentive. We had a seat near the kitchen and could see them working their butts off back there. Great restaurant!

    You know you ordered the right thing when 2 different servers comment that it’s their favorite item on the menu! The beef carpaccio was delicate with the perfect amount of salt, cheese, and olives. The gnocchi alla romana was the staff fave and ours as well. All the cocktails had clever punny names and were delicious. Can’t wait to go again.

    Excellent service, cleanliness, attention to details much like a fine dining experience. I would submit it is fine dining, but with a fun vibe. Great music at a perfect level. The food, as always, is top drawer fare. I’m a multiple- repeat customer. I find Tavolata a most welcome addition to Spokane’s growing list of great restaurants.
