Welcome to a tavola

Regionally Inspired Italian Food Since 1995

Founded in 1995, a tavola is one of the city’s best restaurants, bringing Chicago an intimate and authentic dining experience. At a tavola the emphasis is, appropriately, on the food. Authentic dishes from Italian regions are re-created using Italian cooking methods and the finest imported Italian products. a tavola is the culmination of professional cooking experience by Daniel Bocik, a versatile chef from Chicago who brings back home the knowledge and experience of an education at the California Culinary Academy and the finest restaurants of San Francisco, Paris, and Milan. To ensure the freshest food at a tavola, fresh fruits and vegetables are selected from a local organic farmer, meats and seafood are personally selected by Chef Dan from local markets. A professional staff, among the finest anywhere, provides our customers with the level of service that has helped to make a tavola a success. Our tables, both in in the dining rooms and terrace are adorned with white china, heavy silver cutlery, and fresh flowers. The service and surroundings combine to create an intimate and elegant dinner setting.
