Tavola, trattoria and wine bar

A trattoria and wine bar on Marlow Street. Pasta rolled every morning, 38 seats, and the bar kept for walk-ins.

Tue–Sat 12–3, 6–11 · Sun 12–4

Rolled at nine, gone by ten.

The pasta is made each morning on the bench by the window. When a shape runs out, it comes off the board.

Thirty-eight seats, a marble bar for walk-ins, and wines by the glass that change as often as the food.

An evening at Tavola

From the first espresso at the bar to the last glass of Lambrusco, most nights look something like this.

Who cooks

Marta Rinaldi opened Tavola in 2019, after twelve years in other people's kitchens, for a room where one plate at the bar counts as much as four courses.

The flour is milled in Emilia, the vegetables come from two farms in Kent, and the menu is written each morning once the deliveries are in.
