About this space

TÁVOLA Restaurant is a compact Italian restaurant defined by an intimate neighbourhood trattoria character.

Design: The interior is narrow and low‑ceilinged, finished in dark timber floors and fitted with bentwood chairs and white‑linen place settings. The lighting is warm from wall sconces and pendant lamps, and wine racks and framed prints create a classic Italian look.

Features: A staffed kitchen provides full restaurant service and plated Italian dishes. On‑site tableware and glassware are provided for set private dinners. Facilities include Wi‑Fi, natural light, air conditioning, wheelchair access, and permission to play your own music or bring a DJ.

Ideal for: Friends, family or small corporate groups seeking a relaxed, seated dinner in a cosy, conversational setting.

What sets it apart: The dining room includes a long, reconfigurable table that can be set as a single continuous run for private seated dinners.

What guests say: The restaurant is small and cosy with attentive service. The food receives frequent praise for its pasta and tiramisu, though some reviews mention occasional inconsistency in seafood dishes.
