Tavola Italian Kitchen, Novato

Translated from Italian, tavola means table, a place for friends and family to congregate around wine and simple, handcrafted food. Such is the inspiration behind Tavola Italian Kitchen, where chefs employ techniques steeped in Italian tradition to prepare dishes comprised of locally sourced and seasonal ingredients. Along with the food, the restaurateurs behind Tavola rely on their network of purveyors to gather flowers, ceramics, and decor rather than bartering with their secret recipes for stuff at garage sales.
