44 - Café - Bar - Bistro in Warwick

I think the restaurant will do well, as the food is really tasty; but the service was not up to standard. We visited the restaurant on Saturday 30th November, a 6pm booking as we had later plans. So the restaurant wasn't too busy. It seemed to be a challenge for our server to find our booking/allocate us a table; but eventually we were seated. We ordered our food - though was disappointed the option to add meat to a veggie dish wasn't an option (which you would normally find in other Italian restaurants) but, not a deal breaker. We ordered cocktails - as the drinks menu showed 2 for £12 cocktails must be the same. No reference to timings or specific days of when this promotion runs. So we ordered our drinks. The food came & it was delicious. Though there was no offer of parmesan; we had to ask for it. Whilst I had finished my food, the waiter came to clear the table when my friend hadn't finished her meal. She had to say, no I haven't finished yet. Never experienced that in a restaurant before. We wanted desserts & ordered 2 more cocktails to go with the desserts. This is when it got strange; the waiter said, you do know the 2 for £12 offer isn't running (no, no one had advised us of this) I pointed out that it's not stated anywhere in the menu about times/days where this promotion runs - therefore it's false advertising. The waiter just said "it's what I've been told to say by the manager". So we went ahead & ordered 2 different cocktails. Our desserts were brought out by another waiter; we spoke to him about it & you could tell how frustrated he was by it. It's not difficult to reprint a menu, or add in timings when the promotion runs. But it turns out, the promotion is run on manager's discretion. I.e. if the restaurant is too busy, he will stop the promotion. If you're too busy to keep up with demands, remove the promotion. Or add it in for quieter times. Don't just do it when it pleases you. When the bill came; we did get 2 for £12 on the 1st drinks & then not for the other 2 (as we ordered different ones) I wonder if we would get the promotion if we had ordered the same? It was totally bizarre!!! To summarise; food was great. Service was just weird . . .

Average food, cocktails ok but they couldn't prepare everything on the menu.so.disappointing, wouldn't return

The place was cold, food tepid and service poor. When asked if everything was ok, we advised that the food was tepid. The waiter was at a total loss as to what to say or do, so just said ‘O’ and walked off. We then had a 10% service charge added to our bill! Shocking - certainly wont be going back or recommending as to many other great places to eat

We came for bottomless brunch , excellent service, good cocktails and amazing food. Great selection of drinks and food. Will be back soon!

Had a bottomless brunch with friends. There was a great selection of food - pizza and pasta meals. Good selection of drinks - spirits and cocktails.Attentive staff. Lovely afternoon with friends.

I have been twice for bottomless brunch and both times have been great. The cocktails are made fresh to order with high end ingredients. There is a broad selection of food and drink options on the menu, having tried both a pasta and pizza dish, the food itself is delicious. The staff are very welcoming and friendly, despite a fairly busy restaurant. I'd highly recommend, will definitely be back. The extra limoncello shot to celebrate a birthday was much appreciated!

Service was amazing, their help made the food taste even better

Popped in for a takeaway sandwich on my lunch break and couldn’t recommend it enough! The sandwich itself was delicious with really fresh ingredients, and is even warm. This is also only half of the sandwich, so excellent value for money for the size and quality of ingredients. Really quick efficient service too. If you’re stuck on what to do for lunch, don’t hesitate to pop into Tavola!

A really enjoyable experience. Obviously a popular place. The dough balls with ricotta and prosciutto were delicious - am still thinking about them 3 days later. Authentic and plentiful pasta. Decent range of choices. Service was efficient if not especially friendly. Would recommend for tasty Italian in the area and would return.

Went today for bottomless brunch. Great selection of cocktails for a brunch menu at a reasonable price BUT advertise choice of pizza, pasta or salad as food choice but no salads on the menu apart from side salad. Pizza was ok but pastas below average. Had to constantly ask for service to get drinks and then v slow: staff friendly but more interest in chatting to one another than serving. Wouldn’t recommend brunch there unfortunately.

Took our 18 year old twin daughters for their first bottomless brunch and had the most amazing experience from the time of booking! We all had different food from the menu and it was all delicious, the cocktails were really good quality and the service fantastic. Nothing was too much trouble and we’ll definitely rerun.

A high-end restaurant that pursues real food. The atmosphere is great. The cocktails delighted my palate. The quality of the Guanciale in the Carbonara is magnificent. The pizzas are crispier and tastier than traditional dough. I wanted it to never end. Value for money 5 stars! Definitely in the top 5 in the Leamington area. Thank you Tavola.

Lovely atmosphere, friendly staff and great food. We was served by Luke who was super friendly and helpful. Would highly recommend!

Came for bottomless brunch with friends. Atmosphere was lovely, the food was incredible and the staff couldn’t do enough! Luke was looking after us perfectly. The whole experience was amazing will definitely be coming back here in the future

Me and my friends came for bottomless and it was the BEST place ever! Food was amazing and the service was impeccable! All the staff were great and Luke was amazing making sure we had drinks topped up and the food was to our liking. Will 100% be back!!

The BEST bottomless brunch in Leamington Spa! We had an incredible experience with wonderful food alongside the best service. The staff were extremely accommodating including Luke who showed us to our table ensuring our experience was the best, which it was. Would totally recommend & we will definitely be back!

Had such a great 21st here, amazing service and incredible quality !

Excellent food and wonderful service

Luke was fantastic, Was a huge fan of the home made bread, the sandwiches were real good. I was in a group doing bottomless brunch which was good value. I was driving so just had a beer but the service was exceptional and everyone said the drinks were too.

Lovely restaurant. Staff were very welcoming and attentive. Pizza was one of the best I've had. It was a lovely experience. Only thing I would say was that it was a little cold in there to begin with. Would definitely go back though, just maybe with a jumper!

Relaxed comfortable atmosphere with modern Mediterranean vibe serving food food

Amazing food and service, started with cocktails (2 4 1) yum, then had a fantastic bottle of wine, perfect to accompany a stunning meal, love a menu that isn’t massive so you know the food is going to be good quality.

Sister and I really enjoyed the food and drinks.We both had sandwiches which were delicious and the cocktails were perfect, our server Luke was also lovely and friendly

We had the bottomless brunch at Tavola and would definitely recommend it. The food and cocktails were lovely and the service was fab!

Lovely place very Art stylish. Relaxing place.

Delicious lunch for a birthday celebration. Calamari followed by seafood pasta was fabulous. Lovely atmosphere and excellent service from our lovely waiter Ini. We will be back!

Chris provided us with the most welcoming service / atmosphere- fantastic service the whole night and very accommodating to our requests, made the whole dining experience much more enjoyable, perfect for any occasion! Can’t recommend enough

Luke was great for service made our experience great

Luke was our waiter for the night and did an amazing job !! Brilliant service throughout the whole restaurant and a lovely atmosphere

Food was great and staff were very friendly and accommodating!! Shout out to our attentive waiter Ini 😃

Our waiter Ini made sure we had a beautiful evening. Delicious food and great service, we’ll come again.

Food was awful, pizzas were dry as hell and sparse on toppings. Pasta was slop

Excellent food service staff couldn't do enough for you great atmosphere highly recommended

Fairly small menu selection. Good pasta. Good local Leamington beers. Desserts were particularly good. Nice ambience. Attentive service. We went for starter, pasta and dessert which was enough but we could have gone full Italian and added a main. Large selection of Italian cocktails and wines which we didn't try as most people were driving. The alcohol free alternatives were good though. A little pricey but where isn't these days.

We have just moved to Leamington, and were attracted to this restaurant by its modern decor. However, after dining there thats all it has going for it. Its a classic case of focusing on the image rather than the incredibly bland barely warm food. The truffle porchini pasta was a gloopy mess, its main flavour was flour. You can make a better pasta at home and I recommend a visit from Gordon Ramseys Kitchen Nightmares for Tavola.

Tom was an excellent host, the drinks were brilliant and we will definitely return again.

Tom is an amazing mixologist. The drinks are amazing. Always keeping the drinks flowing

Lovely restaurant and great waiter who was Luke ☺️ really enjoyed the starter, main which was carbonara was a little salty but overall enjoyable, and the profiteroles were yum!

Very good food. Staff were really friendly especially Inie. Definitely recommend 👍

Waiter Ini was very nice, service was fast, food was good, nice atmosphere.

A very enjoyable light lunch with quality, tasty fresh ingredients. Professional, friendly service by Ini. The restaurant has a nice decor and decorated to a high standard.

Cocktail I had was dirty banana and was delicious. I would return to try more cocktails. The food was nice but overpriced for what we had. The food menu was quite boring and unlike some places that downplay food on the menu and you are pleasantly surprised, this isn’t one of them. Overall this place is quite uninspired and I won’t be in a rush to go back for food.

Truffle and mushroom pasta excellent, Matteo was an amazing Bar man. We had an excellent day together with our friends.

Bottomless brunch was great value for money. Fantastic food, amazing drinks & lovely atmosphere. Definitely coming back!

Fresh Focaccia that is turned into the most amazing sandwiches (schiacciata). If you appreciate good food, don't miss it, this is amazing and cannot recommend enough!

A real find. Very friendly staff and delicious food. Sat at large comfortable table enjoying the decor and choice of music. Fabulous. Thank you

The staff is absolutely wonderful and so accommodating. For a first time visit I am thoroughly impressed and will definitely come again.

Amazing food and drinks. Best service ive had in leamington.

Fantastic evening, great food and the staff had excellent knowledge of the menu and wines.

Best Italian in Leamington Spa! Came here a few weeks ago to check the restaurant out since the refurb and the new owners have massively freshened the place up - really bright, stylish and overall just a nice place to be. Service was great, we were served by Luke who was superb. He talked us through the menu, gave us a few recommendations (in particular, the supplì which were fantastic!) and was very attentive throughout. My partner had the Pollo Milanese and I had the Rigatoni Nduja with some zucchini fries, supplì and garlic bread on the side. Everything we had was delicious, probably some of the best Italian food we’ve had in the UK! Overall great night, would absolutely recommend and we definitely will be visiting again!

The food was great and the cocktails even better. Luke is the best bartender in leamington! I would recommend to anyone!

Walk in to full restaurant after a long day. Seated in bar area with drink while waiting for takeaway pizza. It arrived before drinks finished so invited to eat in. 8 year old.son insisted we review as it was such amazing pizza.

Went to Tavola for bottomless brunch for my birthday. The food was delicious, the drinks were amazing, and Luke was so lovely and even let us try a drink he’s planning on putting on the menu- pistachio dream--amazing! Thank you

The food was great and the cocktails even better, Luke is the best bartender in leamington!

Mateo was a perfect waiter and he made our experience even better than we could ask for. food was amazing and drinks were even better. thank you mateo

Mateo was the most amazing waiter ever! He was extremely accommodating, came here for my birthday and made it extremely special! Would come back if all the waiters are as good as him!

mateo was so lovely and accommodating to us, we had such a lovely time and he was really amazing

Ambience great Staff great Food terrible Menu poor The meat sharing board for starter was OK but it was just meat and a few leaves - no bread or other accompaniments. Main lasagne was a slice on a small plate - very dry like it had been microwaved several times - no side comes with this you have to order extra so I went for the garlic bread which I didn’t enjoy (this was personal taste because my husband thought it was ok). Main chicken Milanese which came with fries (it does not state this on the menu - the waiter did tell us so we didn’t order a side). The meal looked very unappetising and the chicken was dry - you’d be better off with a KFC. We didn’t order dessert because the main was so poor - there are many more better restaurants in Leamington Spa. It’s such a shame because the place and the staff were great.

This is such a lovely place, the food is amazing, the staff was impeccable, would definitely return and highly recommend!

Really tasty food made even better with amazing service and a relaxed atmosphere. Our favourite restaurant in Leamington!

Lovely food and setting for a nice catch up lunch with family :)

Amazing food and fantastic service from Matteo!

Amazing food of top quality. Great service from Matteo. We will be back

Amazing food and wine with the best service from Matteo! We will be back!!

Really delicious food and quick service. A lovely calm atmosphere, with fun paintings and cozy seating. I especially recommend the dessert- my whole family was thrilled!

Food was great. Drinks were fantastic. Luke was really knowledgeable and informative. Luke let me sample the new Hot Honey Margarita cocktail which was lovely. It was nice to be somewhere where you felt the staff knew what they were talking about, and showed an interest in. Can’t wait to come back to try the new cocktail menu!

This is a beautiful building and the owners have restored and decorated it to a very high standard. The interior, new seating, fixtures and fittings have been very tastefully done. The food is nice, basic Italian. I had a pizza and a decent glass of red. The desert menu was small but tasty. I’m really glad that someone has taken on this beautiful building and making a go of it. I hope it succeeds.

Amazing place, our new favourite Italian. Pizzas were amazing, the kids actually ate their food and the desserts disappeared in a few minutes. Authentically friendly service, light and airy decor, we'll definitely be back!

Mateio was fantastic! Great food, drink and great service. Thank you.

I’m drunk and had a great time! Matteo was excellent and looked after us so well ☺️ had the best time!

We came for bottomless brunch and Matteo our waiter was very attentive and great! He deserves a raise

Me, my wife and 6 friends had bottomless brunch at Tavola recently. The service was top notch and the drinks were amazing. Matteo was a great host and made us feel welcome and made for a great atmosphere. I would definitely recommend the bottomless brunch to anyone!

Lovely place and outstanding service, will come back again!

Really nice restaurant, great food and service. We would eat here again.

Amazing service!!!! Kids ate for free!!! Food was really good !!!! The decor was lovely and the the atmosphere was brilliant!!!!

Was an amazing dinner, beautiful atmosphere and delicious food. Luke was so great and his service was wonderful - highly recommend!

Avoid at all costs as italain as French food !! Garlic bread no garlic but great sea salt on it best part Recommend mortadella pizza was basically Philadelphia cheese spread with spam on top as pictured shows and was told by my server after telling him about the food least the one beer you had was nice Deff would not recommend but feel to waste your money but would say just go to my local la Coppola never try something new ! !!! Also how can you ruin olives… this place this did was as dry as the Sahara desert no oil no seasoning just awful!! Basic cooking not very basic here shame as from outside looks nice but when inside realise why it’s empty !!

Excellent service, great chatting to the proprietor Luke. We only had cocktails but they were great, will definitely be going back. Beautiful restaurant overall

The new refurb is amazing, and the chefs do a fantastic job of creating authentic Italian cuisine. Service can't be faulted 👌

Beautiful bottomless brunch in a very pretty restaurant! We had lovely afternoon at Tavola, the margarita cocktails were better than anywhere we've ever had and there food was delicious. Looking forward to coming here again and the food was delicious!

Elegant restaurant Excellent service Really nice food and really Italian restaurant You must try it 100% we’ll back

One of the best experience ever, the service by Matteo was amazing. As italian I would recommend this place to everyone for the food, service and atmosphere

Alcohol adequate - food leaves a lot to be desired

Great bottomless lunch. Service was grate.

Great food and a cool atmosphere. Thank you Ini for the great service.

Booked a table for 8:30pm on a Friday. Were sat down and after 5 minutes told the chef was too busy and could we please come back another time.

This was very disappointing. Firstly, the on line booking system is difficult to understand. When I fathomed it, it sent me an e mail saying my booking was not confirmed and I would be contacted. After 2 days this hadn’t happened so I phoned and was told my booking was already confirmed. When we arrived, they had no booking for us. The ambiance and decor here is very appealing and I had previously been for a drink and enjoyed it. However the food is overall below average. We both had chicken Milanese - which was ok but a bit dry. We asked for mayonnaise which made it better. It was served with chips which was not mentioned so we ordered roast potatoes with rosemary. The staff didn’t advise us that perhaps we didn’t need these so we had too much potato. Also they were not roast potatoes. Quite tasty but really small thick chips. The courgettes were nice and the salad ok we didn’t have a desert but no one asked if we wanted coffee or another drink and then they brought our bill when we hadn’t asked for it. The wine was nice. I wouldn’t go back

Beautiful place, superb food, and our waiter made the evening with his warm charm, food recommendations, and tales of Sardinia. I look forward to returning!

Good atmosphere, the service was friendly and helpful, however, the portion sizes are really small, 1 sea bass fillet was served in a side bowl (£14), the waitress recommended ordering a side, I chose courgette fries (£5), again really small portion (about 1/3 of a regular portion size). I was still hungry at the end! I would prefer they served proper main course sized portions. Even though the food itself was nice, I wouldn’t return due to the portion sizes and cost. There are other Italian restaurants in Leamington that represent better value for money.

Food was superb and beautifully cooked and presented. Good choice of dishes too. Decor is modern and stylish. Staff are friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend.

Had lunch with friends today and food was superb. Good choice of dishes too. Decor is modern and stylish. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Would highly recommend

Really great service and selection of drinks

The garlic bread I had was awful too much gariic..it was unpleasant and the pizza had too much tomato on it..such a shame I won't be visiting again

This new restaurant has a nice vibe but the food and drink came up short. How can you charge £28 a bottle of disappointing wine that I now know is £7 in a well known supermarket. It was terrible wine. Spag carbonara was just tasteless - not sure how you can achieve that as it’s such a reliable dish. I did however enjoy my starter and the staff were nice.

Fabulous and stylish place with excellent and very kind staff. We loved spending time here with our family.

Underwhelming cocktails and lacklustre service made this place very forgettable. Likely won’t be returning again..

Had the loveliest bottomless brunch at Tavola. Excellent food, drinks, service and atmosphere. 10/10 - if you’re considering a visit definitely come!

Bottomless brunch was great. Service was very friendly and very quick! Definitely recommend for afternoon or evening cocktails!

We came for bottomless brunch and the food was great, came out in a really good time and the cocktails were great! Thanks very much :)

Had a lovely meal, good food, good advice on wine. Highly recommend.
