Reviews for A Tavola Bistro in Whitby, ON
Ordered 6 family style dinners for takeout. When picking up, they were all confused because there was another takeout for... Andrea. Took a few minutes to figure out my order was for Andy. Then was told they didn't have the minestrone soup I hadordered. Got home and found out they forget to pack the Caesar salads. When I phoned in to tell them about that, they told methat they had a lot of takeout orders to look after, and I would have to drive back to pick up the salads. The food was good.The service was less than satisfactory. It was my wife's birthday dinner which didn't go as planned, hence the 2 stars Read more
Service was great, but the food was not at all what we were expecting. We got the artesian bread board as an appetizer and only... 1 type of bread was good, the rest tasted stale and had no flavor. For the main course we ordered the NY strip loin and thechicken parmesan. I ordered medium and it was rare and medium rare in some parts and was very tough, chewy and was very hard tocut. The chicken parmesan had way too much sauce and the breading was soggy from the start. Lastly the side of potatoes for bothwere very undercooked and only a couple were cooked enough to eat. Read more
The food was so delicious and fresh! The flatbread and aranchini we ordered were highlights for us, but the entrees and dessert... were great too. I loved that the restaurant was quiet enough that we could still talk and hear each other at a regular volume.No shouting across the table necessary! We'll be back! Read more
My wife and I visited A Tavola for the first time after hearing great comments from regular customers. We loved the restaurant... due to the nice ambiance, excellent food, and great service. The whole fish with Moroccan spices was wonderful. Read more
Family birthday and we were treats like family. Trisha " the momma" took great care of us with knowledge of every dish, warmth... and humor ???? The rest of the gang (they are a team) totally attentive! The Octopus was perfect the gnocchi was tiny pillowsin creamy sauce. The whole fish (black bass) was tender and tasty. Oh Tricia you made our night ???? Read more
My wife and are are looking to venture out from the chain restaurants and try more independently owned ones. We came across this... one on TripAdvisor, rated #2 in Whitby. Located in a residential neighbourhood with estimated seating for 50-75 guests. A quietand romantic setting with dark walls, blacked out windows and soft music. The tables were well spread out in the small space, sonot to be on top of each other. The staff presented very well with all wearing black and were very accommodating, water glasswas never empty and did not have to ask. The food presented well and tasted exceptionable! All fresh ingredients and made fromscratch. The pasta and sausage in my Orecchiette was made inhouse and served al dente and the Chicken in my wives ChickenFlorentine was cooked to perfection. I think was done with a sous-vide cooker. Overall experience was great and we will goback. Did not rate 5 star due to my seating arrangement, but that's just a me thing! Read more
Beautiful decor, cozy, family friendly yet romantic restaurant. Food is delicious & fresh. Would highly recommend the pastas &... the whole fish. Aubrey our server was very attentive & we enjoyed meeting her. We had an out of town guest & she was veryimpressed. We have never been disappointed. Read more
We had high expectations but we were disappointed with the food and service. We almost had to wait for an hour to order food.... Food wasn?t flavourful for the price and was ordinary at best. Our 10 year old thought that a chain restaurant in Whitby hadbetter flavour than here and I would agree. Read more
