Went on a Sunday at 4. Place was very slow so there was no excuse for such terrible service. This was during Providence’s Restaurant Week and was expecting to order off the special menu. After being seated we sat for almost 10 minutes before the waiter returned so we could inquire about the restaurant week specials. Took another 5 minutes after that to get our drinks.
The food was average. For the prices I expected much more.
This was our first time dining in the Federal Hill area and expected so much better. Apparently we choose the wrong restaurant.

Food was awesome…..always is ! Waiter was attentive and nice. Even when we told him we were using a Groupon ( which many wit people hate and give you an attitude). Of course we tipped him on the total before the Groupon was taken off because he was great! Pasta Cardinale is one of our faves. 3 out of 6 of us ordered it and it did not disappoint. Will go there over and over. Like the Providence location best for atmosphere. Always fun on Federal Hill!

What a fabulous restaurant! Food was fantastic, our servers were friendly & attentive. Great atmosphere & ambience. Definitely going back.

Restaurant week was horrible, my appetizer had no flavor, my pasta dish had no flavor and reeked of garlic.

Our waiter Tom was great. I requested a window seat. Both were taken. So Tom said we could sit in the other room which had a window/door. It was great!
The food was great. I had frutti di mari which was excellent. More than enough for another meal Or two. My husband had the pan seared salmon which he loved. My martini was fantastic. Prices are reasonable.
We have been there many times and would definitely recommend tavolos at any one of their locations. This one was in providence.

Highly recommend. Excellent place to go for a date or a night out.

Service slow even thou it wasn’t very crowded. Food was good. Atmosphere fair.

Great service!!!

Clean, hot and an ambient of peace.

Nice, enjoyed the live music

Everything we ate was amazing! Service was great even though we were a large party and half of us were late for our reservation. They were awesome and got us out super quick to make it to the show we were going to! Can’t recommend Tavolo enough.

Always a great meal and time,
The Fried calamari was absolutely outstanding. Our entrées were equal to appetizer. There was live music which is always excellent.
See you soon Tavolo!
A perfect night.

We have been to Tavolo in Smithfield many times, but my wife received an email about the featured entertainment on 12/10/21. The food quality was as good as the Smithfield location and the singer was excellent.

Great time! Went for my wife's birthday with 2 other couples. Everyone enjoyed their meals. I had the Filet and it was cooked. perfectly. The sauce used on dish was phenomenal! We all thoroughly enjoyed the "house" olive oil on the table for dipping bread. So much that I bought a bottle on the way out. Apps were great as well. We had calamari along with sweet chili shrimp. Friendly staff, they brought my wife a slice of cake for her birthday. I would definitely return!

I took my best friend here for her birthday and they did not disappoint. Great service and amazing food

The waitress was very nice but service was slow - too much time between taking drink order and getting to the table (2 glasses of wine). Dinners were brought out then two appetizer Caesar salads came after. Food was okay but needed spice and no salt and pepper on the table. There are a lot of choices on Atwells Ave and of the multiple restaurants we have visited, this would fall on the bottom.

My wife and I went for our anniversary. The food was delicious and the service was great. Some of the reviews are hit or miss but our experience was a good one. We will be back.

Always enjoy our time there! My girlfriend just loves their short ribs.

my second visit to this establishment. Was an enjoyable quiet saturday night.

Came to Providence for the weekend and sat and ate at the bar. Nick was attentive and friendly. Surprised it wasn't more crowded, but perhaps because it was Thanksgiving weekend anpeople were stuffed or having leftovers. I would certainly return when I come back to the area.

We love bucking tradition on Thanksgiving and we're thrilled that Tavolo was open that day. Portions were large and delicious, with plenty of leftovers.

Only problem was getting to this restaurant as there is no parking and no valet.

The service was great and the food was really good!

Horrible service and the salmon was on its way out for sure.
Yuck 🤮
I love Tavolo in Smithfield federal hill no!!

Our waiter/bartender was excellent.
Our meals were delicious. My husband had the lasagne which he loved. I had the fruiti di Mari which was also great. Plenty of food for leftovers.
We will definitely return.

Our table was ready on arrival. A good selection of wines and other drinks. The food was very good.

The food and service is always amazing!! Highly recommend!! (Providence Location)

Perfect birthday dinner with family. Definitely be back on a Thursday night. Food is amazing and service is gracious!

Charming intimate restaurant with a very attentive staff. A great evening recently during the festival. Bill was our host and sat us at the bar per our request. Nice guy and hands on working along with the staff.
Food was delicious...Margarita pizza and short ribs. Bar was comfortable with TV and great service. Definitely check them out. We'll be sure to try their other locations as well.

The food was good but a little salty to my taste. The waitress was very slow but overall experience was good

Ordered lasagna, they came out over an hour later that they just plated the last lasagna to someone else and what else did we want. Chicken in penne vodka was very rubbery, seemed microwaved. Outdoor seating was good

Despite reading good reviews online about Tavolo, we unfortunately had a negative experience. The food was really bad, and the service was terrible. Our server forgot about us (and other tables near us) multiple times. We heard neighboring tables complaining to themselves about the poor service as well. We definitely won’t be returning.

Food and presentation was excellent. Portions are good size.

Nice Italian restaurant. Good atmosphere and the owner / manager was fantastic. He gladly replaced a bottle of wine that we felt had a funny taste. Good to do!

Great place but food took way too long ... service & portions of dinner food were not the best. Our waitress was very short with us, we had to flag her down a few times to get her attention. Restaurant was very nice has a great vibe, we sat outside so we didn't mind that the food took longer than normal but they definitely need more staff.

We ordered salads to share for the table. They came out brown and wilted as well as overly dressed . No bread. Everything was a la carte. All of us had the stuffed cod. Those were overly salty. For dessert I had the s’mores brownie which was dry and hard to chew. Thankfully the ice cream made that easier. Prices were high for what we received. Very disappointed.

Regulators at this location . Great service and food ! Will return

One of the BEST restaurants in federal hill . Food and service is consistent . Will return!!!!!

The staff was efficient and friendly, and the food was delicious. The restaurant is very nice inside.

Food was excellent. Service was a little slow but the waitress was working hard. It would not stop me from returning. We did outside dining. Loved the atmosphere and ambiance. Definitely return.

The atmosphere was loud. Waitresses were telling at each other over customers heads. Our waitress was brand new and could not manage the number of tables she had. We didn't place our food order for more than 45 minutes after we arrived. When the waitress came to take our food order she had cut her hand and dripped blood on our table and left it as if that were okay. Other tables around us got up and left because they were waiting so long with no service. We planned on ordering an appetizer, by the time we placed our order we asked for the appetizer to come out with our main food since we were short on time. Our food came out and the appetizer still wasn't ready. I had to remind our waitress that we had ordered an appetizer, she then quickly brought it out. The food itself tasted good, but not good enough for its prices. We were very disappointed in the entire as a whole. Not the romantic anniversary dinner we expected. Definitely not planning to go back.
