Tavolàta

Tavolàta is a pasta-focused Italian restaurant with a Pacific Northwest twist, serving fresh pasta made daily in shapes like rigatoni, tonnarelli, bucatini and ravioli, along with small plates and a curated wine list. The first location opened in Belltown in 2007, and the company now runs restaurants in Seattle, Redmond, Spokane and Boise.

The Belltown restaurant at 2323 2nd Ave has a large communal table, bar seating and a private mezzanine for groups. Gluten-free pasta can be substituted on most pasta dishes, and gift cards are sold online. Reservations and online ordering are available, and the restaurants run daily happy hours.
