Tavolàta

Service was great. Most of the food was just ok. The ceasar salad was the highlight. Definitely recommend that and it’s big enough to split as a couple. We got the burrata and would rate that a 7/10. It was a little over dressed. Burrata is so good that I felt the sauce over powered it. My husband got the potato gnocchi and rated it a 8/10. I had the carbonara and would rate it 6.5/10.

It was an amazing experience during my trip. The waitress was spectacular and treated us like we were one of theirs. I tried their Brischetta and the Shirley Temple and it was delicious. This is place is very flexible on payments and seating arrangments when me and my friends wanted to sit together. Overall, I would come back here again if I get to visit Spokane again.

Tavolta has a great atmosphere, yummy food, enjoyable 'spirits', espresso and excellent service. At 1st I got Papperdeli which I heard is one of their popular dishes. My husband got the same thing and loved it, but it was too spicy for me. The waiter Garrett had been taking such good care of us he really encouraged me to try something else so I agreed. I switched to a small serving of the Potato Gnocchi and it was so scrumptious 😋 I loved 😍 it!! Then he even comped that portion of our meal. Our friend celebrating his birthday shared some of his delicious mouse and biscotti (? Name) and wow! We were all happy. We ended up being the last too leave. It was lovely to spend our evening there. Not inexpensive but high quality worth the money.

My friends and I met for happy hour and we were not disappointed. We sat in the bar and enjoyed fun drinks. The happy hour menu is fantastic, with plenty of options. We shared numerous plates; hands down the brussel sprouts were my favorite! I needed some protein so opted for the chicken and ricotta meatballs - solid, although I do feel they lacked some seasoning or a kick of some sort. I enjoyed the Gnocchi alla Romana (a semolina gnocchi) and the Tiramisu was perfectly done, not too sweet. I would definitely come back to try more. The atmosphere was modern yet laid back. Our server was very attentive but gave us space/time. Restrooms are clean. Obviously, being right in the heart of downtown, parking isn't free. Plus, a challenge unless you use the Riverfront garage.

Happy hour menu was a great value. They don't shrink the dishes during that time so you are getting the full dish for a cheaper price. Pasta was delicious and had great flavor. Only complaint was we made a reservation for an early dinner on a Saturday. When we got seated we were put in the bar at these tiny tables pushed up against the wall. I'm 6'7 my wife is 6'1 so this location was not ideal. With that said it didn't spoil the meal or the experience.

We went for our 12th year anniversary. The pasta wasn't cooked completely. The chicken was raw, and when I asked the waitress, she said most people just eat around it. I was sick that evening, and the next day.

Had the Caesar salad, Wagyu Beef Cheek Lasagna and Tiramisu. Not the worst I've had but certainly not the best. Hardly tasted ANY of the "wagyu" beef in the lasagna and that was the MAIN reason for ordering it, the little I did taste was in NO WAY distinguishable from grocery market-grade ground beef, but it was still pretty good and enough of a sizable portion for leftovers. The tiramisu was also just okay, which is really disappointing because it's my favorite dessert and a HUGE thing I look forward to when dining at an "Italian" cuisine restaurant. Over all, just okay. Oh and the drinks were called Hibiscus Spritz and with my dessert I ordered an espresso martini. Both like the meal were mediocre and unmemorable.

I felt like I was at Mod pizza, sitting on super hard benches, nothing else to add to atmosphere. Did not feel italian by a mile. We waited for over 45 minutes with a half empty restaurant. I got Campanelle which was worse than mediocre. My husband got Ragu, he said was decent. Wish we went to Mod Pizza.
