Tavolo is a quiet and peaceful place to have a meal. Service is good and waiters are attentive.Menu is different from the typical 'italian' restaurants where pastas and pizzas are the norm. We look it when they served warm foccacia with olive oil and balsamic vinegar for starters! The foccacia smelt so good!!I ordered gnocchi with salmon, fish roe and kiwi which was cooked in vodka. I enjoyed the taste of all the different flavours fused into one dish, salty and a little sour together with the c

I ordered gnocchi with salmon, fish roe and kiwi which was cooked in vodka. I enjoyed the taste of all the different flavours fused into one dish, salty and a little sour together with the cream sauce. However, after having more than 5 pieces i felt.. very gelat as the gnocchi was mainly made out of flour and cheese.
The boyfie ordered a wild mushroom risotto. The risotto was well cooked, sticky and wet. The different types of mushrooms they used made the dish really appetising and if i am not wrong, they probably used a little truffle oil to bring out the smell.
For desert we order the chocolate sausage roll, which is a must try! Its like eating a salami made out of chocolate and bits of almond flakes! It's not too sweet and works just fine for the palate.
Lastly, the waiter presented a tiramisu to the boyfie as it was his birthday. They used a trick candle for their in-house candles. Its the one where you try putting out the flame but it still carries on burning! So it caught us by surprise, so much so that my boyfriend asked if i actually bought the candle specially for him!
It is a memorable place with excellent and authentic italian food. A hidden gem in the heart of parco marina, its a must try!
