About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Innovative
  • Romantic
The premise for this new eatery “Tavola” (Table in Italian) is based on regional italian fare, mainly Puglian, Roman and Sicilian.



Tavola was inspired by owner Nick Accardi’s extensive travels to these regions, especially the town of Castelvetrano, the source of Nick’s family roots. With the help of his relative chefs, Nick has secured quality regional ingredients, including single estate castelvetrano olives and extra virgin olive oil, which he exclusively imports and can be purchased at Tavola.

Featuring two wood-burning ovens specially handcrafted in Naples, Italy using vesuvio volcanic clay. Having 2 ovens allows for the possibility to cook at more than one temperature. The Pizza oven burns at 900 degrees, while the other can operate at a second temperature for meats, fish and vegetables.

We were visiting NY and a friend had recommended we check out this place. It was so worth the trek from Tribeca to Hell's Kitchen. We enjoyed each of our courses very much; the bruschetta, branzino and the pizza special of the day were delightful. Definitely try the food here!

Pretty inside some tables are close but the noise level is perfect so that you don't feel as if you are involved in someone else's conversation. Good for pre-theatre or anytime. Food was good as well as the service. They accommodated us even though we were early for our reservation. Nice place.

Food was really good and fresh but prices were a little higher than I would expect. Overall the service was good and I would recommend it as a good Italian restaurant for a fun casual evening.
