    The service was wonderful- the Branzino was amazing incredible flakey, the Bonet for dessert was heavenly- chocolate custard like velvet. Delish! We will definitely be back as they make all of their own pastas and desserts! Much more to try!

    Very rude & loud group of 6 women laughing like hyenas all during our meal. They not only ruined our lovely dinner, but several others sitting nearby. The staff did nothing to settle them down. Very disappointing.

    Torn here, food met expectations but nothing more. The service was the big issue here. When first approached by the server, we asked if there were any specials for the evening, he said no. We ordered our meal and a a bottle of wine. We paid our tab and when leaving, noticed a sign that mentioned happy hour and half price bottles of wine as specials. When I asked about this and why weren’t informed of this when asked we didn’t receive an answer, just an adjusted bill for the wine. Not sure I would trust the service at this establishment moving forward. Disappointed in how management handled it.

    The food and service were excellent. The complimentary focaccia bread and dip were wonderful. The Parmigiana Di Zucchine was fabulous, with the taste of smoked mozzarella in tomato sauce coming through loud and clear. The arugula salad and mushroom pasta dish were very good, as was the pinot noir.

    We were a party of 5, and had a great round table in the small back room of the restaurant. The food was excellent as was the service! My spouse and I are regulars here, but the other 3 had not been here in a long while. They all loved it too! The food here is like dining in Italy! Tonight we really enjoyed the caprese burrata salad, pasta with bolognese sauce, and the chicken entree! The tiramisu dessert was also excellent! Tavolino remains one of the very top Italian restaurants in Tucson!

    A shortage of servers made our experience less than enjoyable. And to make the situation worse, we watched the table next to us which had been seated after us be served earlier and more attentively than we were.

    We dined at Tavolino's on 1/12/25. There were gnats flying around our table throughout the meal. This was not the first time we have experienced gnats there (last time was during the summer).The waiter spilled wine while pouring the little carafe into the glass and tried to only sop it up with a napkin, did not offer to replace the glass and get a new carafe of wine. We asked for parmagian cheese and fresh pepper and never did receive either of them. When the reservation was made on OpenTable, we designated the meal as a birthday dinner (in fact, two people at our table were celebrating their birthdays). This was never acknowledged and no special dessert or anything was offered. So what's the point of asking what the special occasion was? We told the hostesses about our experience on our departure and they just shrugged and did not offer any apology or compensation. Not a good experience. We won't be back.
