I hadnt been for a few years and was pleasantly surprised to find the food at the same high level as before. The Lamb Rack possibly the best restaurant meal I had in 2023. Took my wife with me a few days later and had two sublime pasta meals... service also at a higher level. Great that they have sound absorbing materials on walls and ceiling si its not too noisy.
Not sure why it's taken me so long to review A Tavola when I have been coming here for over a decade and probably tried everything there is on their menu.
Simply put: The standard by which all other Italian restaurants are measured for me (and I've been to Rome, Naples and Positano!)
It's one thing that the food is always, exceptional, but then the fact that it's always consistent too is what brings me back every time.
The ambience is ideal, with noise reduction a pleasant addition that makes chatting to other patrons a pleasure
The service is the kind that leaves someone like me who's been in the service industry for over a decade and who loves eating out continuously using A Tavola as a reference on how professionals should conduct themselves: Quiet, efficient and always one step ahead of the customer to the point where you think they are reading minds!
The best Italian food in Cape Town
The evening was not planned , so we had no booking but was accommodated without any problems. Highly recommend booking a table as the establishment was pretty full .
Our night was made by our waitress Siphokazi. So beautiful , friendly and recommended very good choices . She even let us have a taste between two wines as she did not want us to be disappointed….. needless to say her recommendation was the one we chose - she was spot on.
She also recommended some mains to us - and even adjusted to our needs - which wasn’t necessarily on the menu .
Food was great - but definitely ask for Siphokazi if you visit .
Will definitely return .
Thank u for a great evening !
