Tavolàta Belltown

"Capacity: 30 A successful event for us is sitting with a bunch of happy people surrounded by bowls of delicious pasta like cacio e pepe. If you feel the same way, reserve the mezzanine at Tavolata in Belltown—this area in the restaurant is completely covered with dark wood and candles." - aimee rizzo

"Távolata is a good Italian standby to have if it’s a weeknight and you’re planning to be near downtown. It’s centrally-located in Belltown, there’s one long table that runs down the middle of the dining room, reservations are really easy to make, and they have a killer carbonara. Plan a date night or group dinner, and then all you have to worry about is how many bottles of wine and homemade pastas you’re going to pass around with whoever you come with. There are no wrong answers here. photo credit: Geoffrey Smith" - Aimee Rizzo

"Restaurateur Ethan Stowell — owner of How to Cook a Wolf, Tavolàta, and Rione XIII — tells Eater Seattle that continuing to loosen the regulations could be 'key' to revitalizing the downtown area." - Gabe Guarente

"Then, later this month, a new Tavolata will open in Wallingford, following the locations in Belltown and Capitol Hill. Taking over the space formerly occupied by Stowell’s closed Mexican restaurant Super Bueno, the 4,000 square-foot Tavolata outpost will have two covered sidewalk patios, with plans to add a communal table whenever COVID-19 restrictions are lifted. The menu will include longtime favorites, such as the rigatoni with spicy sausage, tomato, marjoram, and parmigiano-reggiano, burrata with macerated fig, and grilled octopus with fennel." - Gabe Guarente

"Chef Ethan Stowell’s Tavolàta has takeout daily from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. Orders can be placed via the website. Curbside pickup is available." - Gabe Guarente
