Tavolo V

Five stars all around. The service is outstanding, delicious food and great atmosphere. Highly recommended!

Had dinner there with a couple of buddies… Great atmosphere, great service, great food…, if you like Italian, you won’t be disappointed… Coming from a NY born bit of a food snob. (Although now reside charleston SC)

My husband and I went to Tavolo last night for a last minute dinner. He’s been here before for lunch and loved his pizza.
It’s trendy inside which I didn’t guess judging by the minimal peek I got walking by in several occasions. I loved the bar stools and farmhouse feel of the tables.
I wasn’t feeling any of the pasta descriptions so u got two small plates. The Brussels sprouts with pancetta and caramelized onions were okay. The Brussels sprouts weren’t crispy enough for my preference so I threw them on top of my salad.
I also got the beet salad and loved it. It was heavier in beets than the spring mix so I brought the leftover beets home for a lunch salad addition.
My husband got the sugo’s pizza and it was fantastic. I’m not a pizza fan because I get overwhelmed by crust and sauce but this pizza is thin and lightly sauced so you taste the toppings.

Tavolo is a simple and simply delicious restaurant with no pretense and lots of heart. Simple ingredients paired with top-​notch service (thank you, Justin) made this walk-​in dining experience more than memorable. The mahi mahi and veal Parmesan were delightful

Our pizza was fantastic. I don’t recall the name but it had Meatballs, Marinara, Mozzarella, and fresh basil. Truly delicious pizza. The service was also good, there was an hour wait for tables (though no line at the door so this must be a pretty reservation heavy spot) so we sat at the bar. Shared a beet salad to begin with, which was very good. Complimentary snd olive oil. Vibrant yet chill atmosphere. The pizza is very big (I think 12 inches) for only $ 12. Win.

We were looking forward to trying out this restaurant but it was closed when we arrived at 5:20 PM on a Tuesday evening! What a shame.

Great place! Great food, exceptional service. I will definitely be back!
Highly recommend the fried artichoke, the roasted cauliflower, and the funghi pizza was amazing. If they offer tiramisu, go for it. It was delicious.

Woo owe!!! My goodness, food great and the mussel !!! GREAT. Can’t stop eating!!!

We like their pizza a lot. Its well done!
Salads are superb and fresh.
Nice outdoor seating when the weather is good.
Perhaps a bit noisy, but get there early and no problem.

Their seafood is good. One of the better places to eat seafood in stl. Portion sizes are larger then I expected which was nice and the prices are very reasonable.

I want death by fried artichokes. Just bury me in them.
I started my visit at Tavolo by getting seated by a friendly-​as-​hell server, who promptly brought me a fresh watermelon cocktail. It could not have been more refreshing on a muggy Missouri day. I ordered the fried artichokes, which looked pretty good in a photo I saw on Unilocal.Well «pretty good» is a damn understatement. The ‘chokes were meaty and coated in a crispy light breading. They were finished with lemon and parmesan, which brought all of the salty, crispy, sharp, citrusy flavors and textures together amazingly.
My main course was the Tutto Mare. Hey, order this. The shrimp were of impressive size, and there was an overall generous amount of seafood. The sauce and pasta were both perfect — al dente and not overpowering. I imagined that I would have leftovers but instead I vacuumed the plate with my face. I highly recommend Tavolo!

Couldn’t have been more pleased ! My boyfriend works nearby hearing it was a good place to try! The Pietro and Caesar salad were both delicious! And a good portion! The bread they serve with olive oil and parm was very appetizing! For dinner I had the fra diavolo pasta! Also amazingly and flavorful ! The service was excellent! Our waiter was very knowledgable about the menu and specials! I will be back to try the pizza!

Was very impressed with our meal, the service and the relaxed atmosphere. Sat on the patio with no waiting on a Saturday evening. Tasty calamari appetizer. He had a mushroom pasta dish and I had the lobster risotto. Enjoyed them both. Looking forward to trying more pastas on our next visit.

OMFG. this place is no joke AWESOME. we couldn’t get enough of the bread dipped in olive oil and parm and décor seemingly incongruous with (in addition to the al fresco seating in a pen) the vibe of the rest of the restaurants in the loop. spag ‘n’ balls was had, and it was the best spag ‘n’ balls we had ever tasted. HUGE BALLS, perfectly THICK sauce, noodles to the tooth — this meal tied exactly with my own dish, a special that included a pork steak, sautéed spinach, and the best cauliflower mash I’d ever had. be warned, however, it is a pricey meal.

Went here for lunch on a Monday afternoon. They were not to busy, but busy enough to have more than one server. More on that later.
So I love the interior decoration. Lots of repurposed items! Tables from reclaimed wood. My fav !! The colors are inviting and it’s a nice open space. They even have garage doors in the front that can be opened in nicer weather.
Now the one and only server was AWESOME-​SAUCE! He was pleasant, friendly and very knowledgeable. Not to mention had the most patience I’ve seen from someone working an entire lunch crowd by themselves. So dude, not sure of your name, kudos to you
I ordered the Funghi (may have misspelled) pizza. It is the one with Olive oil, mushrooms, mozzarella, and truffle oil. You can not go wrong with truffle oil!
Needless to say there are no pics b/​c I devoured it in epic time.
The crust is thin and crispy, not soggy like some thin crust pizzas. We also had the calamari. It comes flash fried over a small amount of marinara. It had a great taste… not a big fan if marinara and could have done without.
My lunch buddy had the pizza with the artichokes… yummy as well.
I highly recommend checking this place out and I will definitely be back!

Downright Delicious!
We came here on a Sunday evening when Mission Taco and Pi were both on 45 minute waits. There was zero wait at this establishment and I can not figure out why! The interior is gorgeous as well as the tables and chairs. My sister got the spaghetti and meatballs. The meatballs were gigantic. They were also accommodating to my vegetarian parents and their picky orders. The food portions were very generous for the price. They also have many cocktails you may not see everywhere else to choose from. I got a pizza and it was fantastic. My family and I will definitely go back for our meals on Delmar.

Excellent margherita pizza. Crispy thin crust, perfectly baked. Fresh ingredients. YUM!
Friendly and prompt service. Relaxing atmosphere.
We’ll return soon!

WOW! This place is outstanding and the service was fantastic. We came here for my best friends bachelorette party dinner. We were all dress up and we were immediately greeted at the door with the door being held open for us. We were a huge group of ladies all dress in back except the bride. They of course greeted the bride to be right away and got her seated and a drink.
We couldn’t have had a better server. He was really on it, especially a table full of women. He got everyone a drink right away and was constantly making sure everyone’s drinks were full and didn’t need another one. When you ask about the special it is always hard to hear over that big of a group. The server made sure every single person new what the specials were for that night. Which I remember one being a vegetarian pasta which looked amazing and the people who got it raved about it. When it came to talking about the menu he gave great suggestions and knew his menu. I ended up getting the chicken scallopini with cheese gnocchi, it was so tender and melted in my mouth.
Since we were a bachelorette party we of course had a slightly dirty game going on for the night. The server played along with all of us and even pulled off a great prank with us for dessert. It was a great dinner and a great way to end before we headed out for the night. I highly suggest this restaurant, the menu and service is what its all about when dining out.

I’ve been twice with my «frequent diner» girlfriend since my last review.
First time, we shared the lovely tomato salad: red, orange and heirlooms with a balsamic drizzle and fresh mozz. Such fresh loveliness!
She got the risotto. I got a pasta dish. They were both good.
Last time was last week.
Frank was our server, and he was very gracious.
We shared a sizzling skillet of Brussels sprouts full of bacon. It was a whole meal unto itself. .. even sharing.
And, as it turned out, we both got the same entrée: the special fish — cod on a beautiful bed of risotto laced with butternut squash pieces, asparagus and other seasonal vegetables.
The cod was well-​cooked and flavorful.
We both took home a substantial to-​go vessel for another meal.

I’ve got to start rereading my previous reviews before dining at restaurants. When you dine out as much as I do, you forget small details about your earlier meals. I forgot how they present their Calamari, here at Tavolo V and didn’t request my spicy tomato sauce to be served on the side. I do not always dip my Calamari, I like it plain with just a squeeze of lemon.
Our last visit we did not enjoy any of their amazing salads, but this time we enjoyed two of their most popular. My dining partner ordered the Beet Salad. It had a HUGE Fried Goat Cheese ball in the center of Frisee, which was surrounded by cubes of red and golden beets. It was all tossed with a white wine vinaigrette, which added a simple burst of flavor.
My salad was the Del Pietro, a simple house salad that could rival those at Rich & Charlie’s. I’m not a fan of Iceberg lettuce, but Tavolo V mixes it with Romaine, Parmigiano Cheese, red onion, tomato and then tosses it with a house vinaigrette.
A glass of wine, with their fresh bread would make this salad a perfect lunch.
Seeing their Lasagna being served to the table next to us on our last visit, my dining partner knew what he wanted. The portion is so huge, two adults could actually share it as an entrée. It is a mixture of beef and pork with ricotta and parmigiano cheeses in a rich thick tomato sauce. He could only eat half of it and enjoyed the remainder the next day for lunch. Our server commented, he has never seen anyone eat it all in one sitting.
For my pasta dish, I enjoyed the Pomodoro. It was a spaghetti dish with olive oil, garlic, diced fresh tomatoes, basil and goat cheese. I am a goat cheese addict, so this was the perfect entrée for me. I found this dish to be light and refreshing for a pasta entrée.
I’ve always had excellent customer service here and look forward to my next visit.
Before ordering next time, I will be sure to reread my reviews so I know to order the Brussels Sprouts and the Spaghetti with Meatballs.
