"This was our first visit to Tavolo -- it was wonderful! The food, service, and atmosphere all combined for a great dining experience. Plan to return again and will spread the word -- just hope that doesn't mean I'll have a hard time getting a reservation!"

"When service is a problem, it can really ruin an evening. We tried to get the attention
of servers, but there were three of them, all seeming to disappear and not come back when
you ask for something. They apparently shared the tables, so you didn't have just one waiter.
Maybe it was just a bad night for them, but when you pay that much for dinner, you expect more."

"The staff was very friendly, engaging. and attentive. We were instantly comfortable in our surroundings. Our dinners were perfectly presented and they all were delicious. We could not ask for anything more than what we received. A wonderful dining experience. We will dine there again. Can't wait."

"The food at Tavolo is great. Our service was great. We didnt order any starters because already were given bread and we wanted to save room for our dinner, but the kitchen was nice enough to send out small salads while we waited for our meal. My only complaint is that more then a handful of dishes on the menu were not available. Considering we had an early reservation, it seemed strange that the waiter had to admit that they didnt have the ingredients for these dishes. I would go back for a special occasion because it is a little pricey."

"I made reservations well in advance, and they ended up seating my fiance and me in what looked like an extra table by the door. We had to ask someone to take our order, as we did not have an assigned waiter. While everyone was very nice and courteous, I felt we got second rate service because of our location in the restaurant and perhaps others had a different experience. The soup tasted like it was canned. The food was average for the price. I don't think I would return."

"very cute restaurant but way too noisy. The food is only fair - very disappointing. Calamari was greasy although veal meatballs in red sauce were good. Panera has better onion soup. The fish we has was good and fresh, but suffered from processed tasting sauces that were heavily salted and accompanied by rice mixed with bright peas & carrots that looked like from a high school cafeteria. Not planning to go back - a huge disappointment."

"My husband and I have been here a few times before, and it was always great, but we had not been back for almost a year. We decided to go back and bring friends after telling them how good it was and our friends always loved going to Augustos in southampton, which is the owneer's other restaurant. The service was awful, we had to ask 4 times for bread, the waiter was not familiar (nor could he remember them) with any of the specials that night. The food was just average, my veal was tough and hard to cut. The Caprese salad appetizer was awful and only had 2 slices of tomato with 3 slices of mozzerella, and was expensive. The whole meal was expensive for quality and quantity, and the service do not equal what you get at any of the chain rest"

"The food and service was excellent. My husband and I both had fish which was cooked to perfection. The decor is nice. We have been here before and were always seated in the back dining room. When we were seated in the front one, with a view we were excited at first. Unfortunately, because of the acoustics, we could hear the entire conversation at the next table and they were not that close and were not talking that loudly. That was a little distracting and it made you think twice before talking too much because I didn't want them listening to our conversation. Lovely little BYOB. Dessert was delicious too."
