One of the recommended ways to begin the meal is with their freshly made Burrata, served on fragrant basil pesto and paired with cherry tomato confit. Creamy, delicate, and rich at the center, the burrata is beautifully balanced by the herbaceous depth of the pesto and the gentle sweetness of the slow-cooked tomatoes. It is a simple yet elegant starter that highlights freshness and clean Italian flavors from the very first bite.

You may also opt for their Agnolotti, a handmade pasta filled with slow-cooked beef and finished with fond bruno reduction, bagna cauda, and Parmigiano Reggiano. Rich and savory, it combines tender filling, silky pasta, and a deeply flavorful sauce for a refined and satisfying dish.

Tavolo is known for their daily-made fresh pasta, the lifeblood of traditional Italian cooking. Pasta lovers can experience Chef Paolo’s take on one of Italy’s beloved gift to the culinary world, lovingly prepared without compromise.

Among others, you should order Tavolo’s Tagliatelle al Funghi Porcini, a deceptively simple pasta dish bursting with the earthy, umami flavors of porcini mushrooms and Parmigiano Reggiano, and parsley, which will make you come back for more.

Then there are Tavolo’s pizza selections, including the Prosciutto e Rucola, which brings together San Marzano tomato sauce, mozzarella, Prosciutto di Parma, and a generous topping of fresh arugula.

The rich, savory character of the prosciutto is balanced by the peppery brightness of the greens, while the San Marzano tomatoes lend a deeper, more refined sweetness to the base. Simple yet elegant, it is a pizza that showcases the beauty of quality Italian ingredients.
