Tavolo is the go-to Italian spot in Dorchester, blending a vibrant bar scene with classic and inventive dishes, plus a unique Sunday drag aperitivo hour.
"Tavolo has been a reliable favorite in Dorchester for a decade. The bar is always full of chatty regulars who will tell you what to order whether you ask or not (spoiler: you should listen to them). They’d probably advise you, like we would, to share one of the fig, ricotta, and gorgonzola-topped pies and some chili-flaked meatballs. Tavolo is also the rare Italian restaurant that hosts a drag aperitivo hour on Sundays from 3-5pm. Go, appreciate the perfect contouring, and order some carbonara or cacio e pepe." - tanya edwards, joel ang, dan secatore

"There aren’t many options for Italian in Dorchester, but that might be because Tavolo gives you pretty much everything you need. On the menu, you’ll find standard favorites like bolognese, along with more elevated stuff like pesto and prosciutto cod. The cocktail list is big enough to fill several pages of a phone book. And the space gives you the choice between a quiet booth or a lively bar." - dan secatore
