Tavolina

Tavolina stands out for flavor and consistency in Beirut. The special house sauce is rich and well balanced. It lifts every dish without overpowering it. Seafood tastes fresh and clean, cooked with precision. Meat is the highlight. Tender, juicy, and full of flavor. Each cut arrives perfectly cooked. Service stays calm and attentive. The setting feels comfortable and refined. A strong choice for Italian cuisine in the city at Tavolina.

This is a restaurant that resisted well and even expanded, so thumbs up anyway! The experience all in all is great with the good service, varied menu, non-smoking indoor seating and a pleasant outdoor section. Salads were great, pasta delicious and pizza quite good. Desserts can be better tasting but could pass anyway to focus on the main platters. Definitely going back

The place is very nice, having a light decoration with a nice simple bar. People are friendly there and helpful. Food quality is very good. Portions are fair and prices are ok since you are getting a good quality of food. The atmosphere is nice and the music is light. Foccacia is delicious there. One of the places which I can always visit.

The food is excellent, with each dish full of flavor and beautifully presented. The highlight for me was the shiitake mushroom dish—simply wow, an absolute standout! The service is outstanding as well; the staff are incredibly friendly, attentive, and professional, making the whole experience even more enjoyable. This place is truly a hidden gem in Mar Mikhael and definitely a must-try if you’re looking for great food and a warm, welcoming atmosphere.

The place is so cozzy i liked it it was my first time and the food was good

Been there many times, the place is great in Beirut, you get to feel the urban vibes, the food is delicious! From pizza to pasta everything satisfied my taste! I would recommend the shitake ai ricci di mare is a must try appetizer! The sauce is sooo mouth watering you would want to lick the plate clean!

Delicious dishes, fresh ingredients, and cool, friendly service. The vibe is relaxed and the prices are more than fair. A solid spot for real Italian flavors in Beirut.

Service and manager reception are the best. Its cozy atmosphere makes me come back. I usually order pizzas, which are really good, however this time I tempted the risotto! It wasn’t really cooked with skills! Not really creamy now silky! Not daring to be Al dente, flavors were basic.. and of course the risotto was expensive for what it was - need to review all this
