La Tavola Restaurant & Bar

Fresh pasta and scallops. Short ribs. Chicken parm. Great service and wine. Yummy martinis. Relaxed atmosphere. We enjoyed our meal with our children here! We will return the next time we are on Marco.

Absolutely one of the best Gouda Burgers and Buffalo chicken wraps ever! If your on the fence of sweet potato fries or wedges- get both! You will NOT be disappointed! The lovely ladies here are great waitresses. I can not wait to come back here!

We just had our daughters wedding reception dinner of 35 people here last week. I felt compelled to say how absolutely fantastic it was. So many guests commented on their delicious food (amazing filet mignon, lobster mac n cheese, pasta bolognese, or grilled salmon) Every single person I talked to loved there meal & loved it there! The staff were so kind , efficient, and attentive. I saw not one flaw. The owners even offered to host our ceremony when we were distraught to find out it may rain on our wedding. (It did not) THIS is great service ! The owners & staff made us feel so welcome , comfortable, and at home. My immense gratitude goes out to them.

LOVE this place. Years go by, yet the food is consistently great quality! Always great service. Live music is awesome. Tonight was The Richmonds. Fab duo... totally different styles, yet they compliment each other. Bravo.

Novi was great! All of the appetizers, entrée, and sides were awesome. Atmosphere was excellent and we could hear the live band on the huge deck. The drinks were not watered down-but well made.

The services, the food and the ambient is great specialy the early bird dinner 4 to 6 great menu for the price

Consistently great service and food! The evening was elevated by live music in the bar. Their new 'Bread is Life' appetizer was a lightly toasted French baguette paired perfectly with a garlic ricotta cheese spread, and balsamic, olive oil dip. Highly recommend!

Everything we ate here was amazing. They can kick up a mean mojito as well.😉 The server was nice and attentive. Would recommend.

If you are in Marco Island this is a must go place to eat a delicious and well cooked meal. It’s clean, fancy and it won’t make a hole in your pocket. Staff very polite and attentive to details.

First of all, we were introduced to the friendliest, charismatic server, Doobie. She was so much fun. Now for the food. 4 entrees, pork chop, tortellini, shrimp, and scallop risotto. Every dish was very good. This small restaurant is clearly the local favorite and for good reason. The bar was hopping, the live music got guests up to dance, and the quaint ambiance was enjoyable. Nice job.

This is one of our favorites here on Marco. The food is constantly good, well seasoned and the dishes are inventive and fresh. The wine list is OK and they pour a decent cocktail. We all had fish except for my sister-in-law who had the chicken Milanese. I had the triple tail, the bride had the salmon (pictured) and my brother-in-law had the grouper. All fantastic! This is definitely a crowd pleasure.

Fantastic food for the price. Service was AWESOME. If I ever come back to Marco Island, I am definitely coming back here. ❤️

great italian place with good menu and delicious options. Portions are big. They accommodated my request including mash instead of fries for the kids burger. Andrea was our server was great serving us with another server always checking if everything was okay few times. Octopus grill was great. well done!

The linguine with shrimp and scallops were perfectly prepared. The pork chop was outstanding, and it was again perfectly prepared. The carpaccio was equally amazing. And the limoncello cake was the perfect ending to a perfect meal. Highly recommended.

Delicious food, great food and amazing live music. We went for dinner not thinking that there was live entertainment and sure enough the live entertainment was sooo amazing, people actually finished their dinner and went over the bar section for the live entertainment. It was an amazing night with some amazing music.

La Tavola may very well be the best restaurant I have ever eaten at. And I mean that seriously. The restaurant itself is a beautiful, comfortable place with great entertainment. The live music here makes La Tavola something more than just an upscale restaurant, it changes the entire experience for the bar patrons. And while I'm talking about the restaurant, I would comment on the incredibly hard working service staff here. Every waiter, bartender, and hostess makes sure that your time here is as comfortable and enjoyable as possible. Terrific people. The quality of the food here reaches heights I didn't know were possible. The recipes are creative and thoughtful, giving every dish something unique. Every single thing on the menu is a great choice. I ordered the Chilean sea bass with rum sauce. This was a revelation to me, like seeing a new color for the first time. Needless to say, I hope to return to La Tavola soon to have a few drinks, listen to the live music, and for goodness sake, try some of those other incredible dishes.

We absolutely love this place Every time we go to Marco Island we make it a point to come here. The food is always spot on and service is always top notch. I definitely recommend trying it.

We went for the happy hour. Great menu and everything was excellent. Service was friendly and fast. Based on the happy hour I'd expect dinner to be top notch as well. My only complaint was our table for two was crowded with all the good things we ordered (to share) but we managed. The parking lot is a nightmare of old people driving poorly but you can't really blame the restaurant for that, as it is Florida. So just be patient or stay a bit longer so the early dinner people have already come and been seated.

Very nice evening at La Tavola! Our waitress, Michaela, was fantastic! She provided just the right amount of service without hovering and suggested some delicious entrees. The Blackened Triple Tail and Scallops & Shrimp Linguine were big hits! However, the interesting combo of Seared Scallops & BBQ Pork Belly was Yummy! Thanks to Michaela and the rest of the crew at La Tavola for an incredible start to our vacation in Marco Island!

Everything about our visit was perfect! We made a reservation and that was a good thing to do! Food was excellent and Pablo was a wonderful server. I saw your advertisement in the San Marco Catholic Church bulletin… I am happy that I did! Thank you. We sat outside but the man & woman singing were very good! 😊

We just had a great meal at La Tovola. We arrived earlier than our Rez and they were happy to accommodate us. The service was great- thanks Pablo! Beef Carpaccio was paper thin with crispy capers and crusty bread- yum. My first time trying Triple Tail- a delicious pan fried white fish with a lemony buerre blanc. My husband’s pork chop was melt in your mouth - pure delish! We had zero complaints and hope to go again!

The best place we ate at while on Marco Island. The atmosphere was wonderful, like a family restaurant but so classy and relaxed (despite having live music in the bar-which you couldn't hear in the dining area) . We had our young children with us after playing putt-putt next door and they were excited to try the octopus and duck. Everything was delicious and it was the first time I had found a gluten free cheese tortellini which was delicious and didn't even seem GF. Highly recommend to all.

Timothy took great care of us tonight! When I ordered the Gouda Burger (made from short ribs and brisket), little did I know that I’d be eating the BEST burger I EVER had! What a treat!

Swung by on Saturday night on a whim. Sylvia was our server and was outstanding and very knowledgeable of the menu and super friendly. We had the Lobster and Crab macaroni and cheese, the Brussel sprouts, and French bread baguette. Everything was amazing! Cannot wait to return! Breakfast and lunch must be tried too! Great find for us and wonderful experience!

Well worth a visit. The area is full of restaurants serving good food but La Tavola exceeds all it's competitors. It's authentic, tasty, great service and it delivers a super experience & don't forget VFM something many of La Tavolas competition doesn't do.

Fabulous dinner…we sat outside in the warm & beautiful evening weather. The service, the food & the ambiance were all incredible 🤩

Our server “Doobie” was excellent, making our 39th anniversary very special. The food was amazing…best CRISPY duck, ever!! A little disappointed the Blueberry Lemon Drop Martini was not garnish with a blueberry or a lemon…for $13! 🤔

The food was delicious and everything tasted freshly made, nothing frozen or out of a can. Service was fast, and the hostesses were friendly and kept wishing my husband and I a happy anniversary. If you go here, you must try the lamb chop, the best I've ever had and I eat out a lot.

Beautiful restaurant with a great menu and wine list. Pretty much something for everyone. Service was attentive if not bordering on stoic. Food was served incredibly quickly once we ordered. Only thing that was a little surprising was that dessert options, coffee, or after dinner drinks were never offered.

The food was perfect. Not a fan of our server. She was professional and seasoned but felt rushed taking our plates away. Felt like In a box should be more cozy

We are from Michigan and we went here with my aunt for dinner. Everyone was friendly. I had the triple fin fish entree with risotto which was great. My wife and aunt had the fish and chips dinner. The inside of the restaurant was a little outdated and the location was unfortunately not on the water. My aunt knew all the servers personally.

Let’s start with the soup. The kids had the French onion soup and they were raving about to much I had to try. We all agree that this was THE BEST French onion soup we have ever had. 4 votes, unequivocally the best!! We also had some truffle fries and they were really good. Between the 5 of us, they were gone in about 30 seconds. Everyone liked them. For dinner we ordered the Scallops with pork belly, the Bolognese, the seafood linguini and the lobster and crab Mac and cheese. The scallops with pork belly was the best of all the meals, hands down. The pork belly was perfectly cooked and so were the scallops. The bbq sauce on the pork belly was good, but it didn’t need to be so much. Either was it was awesome. Next in line was the Lobster MAC N Cheese. It was delish!! The aauce was almost a bit to close to an alfready sauce but it was perfectly yummy. Just not the cheesy gooey I would usually expect. It was still really really good though. After that It was a tossup between the Bolognese and the seafood linguini. Both were good, but not as good as the others. The meat sauce in the Bolognese was a wine mean sauce. If you like that sort of thing you might love this dish. It was a little to wine flavored for us. The seafood linguini was good. We really liked the gravy that came drenched over the noodles. The shrimp were really goo but, the dish did taste a little fishy. Not bad, just a little. Probably just normal from the shrimp. Personally that is why I never get a seafood pasta with shrimp because to me, they always taste fishy no matter where you are. My daughter ordered it and she liked it. Overall I’d give this one a 4.4 star. We will definitely come back here the next time we are in town. They also have outdoor seating. The service was good. The folks there are very nice and friendly. Great place!

We were outside on the patio as the weather was perfect. They have an inside dining area and bar with live music too.

Lotavola on Marco island is definitely a local's place! But that just adds to its really unique look and charm. The people inside are super friendly and the service was very good. Shout out to Maggie!! They even had live music the night we were there! Well, at least a live singer who was doing karaoke style. We did not have any main course food but we had two appetizers that were very good! A chicken meatball over polenta and a beef carpaccio. both were excellent but I give my edge to liking the carpaccio better. it was very laid back and we sat at the bar. There was no real dress code. A lot of people were dancing to the music especially when we left. again it seems like a very local place so we will definitely make sure that we go there considering it is a very short walk from the Charter Club where we were staying.

We took my boyfriend’s grandparents to La Tavola for breakfast on Mother’s Day and it was such a cute spot. The vibe was cozy and welcoming, and the food was honestly so good. I got the La Tavola Benedict, which was a fun twist on the classic. It had asparagus and came on a French baguette, and everything about it was delicious. Everyone else’s meals looked amazing too and there were zero complaints. Their coffee cocktails were also a hit. Super tasty and felt like a little treat with breakfast. The only downside was that the service was slower than we expected. Even though it was Mother’s Day, the restaurant wasn’t actually that busy, but our server kind of kept walking by without checking in. Our drinks were empty or close to it, and no one came by to ask if we wanted more. Not sure if it was an oversight or what, but it felt like a missed opportunity as we definitely would’ve ordered more. That said, our server was very sweet and super patient with the grandparents, who had a few specific requests with their food (like no seasoning on the potatoes, etc), so we appreciated that. Overall, it was a great meal and a really cute spot. Just wish the service had been a little more attentive.

Service was great but can't say same about food. It was just ok .

We went for dinner with a party of 16 that included both kids and adults. While we were thrilled that the restaurant got us in the same day we made the reservation, the service and food were lacking. Our waiter was friendly and attentive, but when we ordered off the menu due to food restrictions, we found we didn’t get what we ordered. Instead of a simple pasta dish with veggies, olive oil, and garlic, we got plain pasta with a splash of olive oil for $25 per plate. One of the moms in our group asked for some raw veggies for her kids (e.g., cucumber or carrots) and was told that’s not possible. Those who ordered straight off the menu said the food was OK, but not anything special. Very disappointing as we were hoping this could be a place we use for our annual family gathering in Marco. I don’t think this place can handle a group of 35+ who have various food allergies and restrictions.

Not a great experience. My husband and daughter wanted to take me as a surprise for my birthday. We love Greg Miller. We have been to the restaurant twice before and had a great time. My husband called for reservations two months prior and asked for a booth. He was told all the booths were booked, but we have a high top, and if a booth becomes available we could have it. When we arrived the hostess told my husband that a booth would be available after the people finished their dessert. They finished and my husband asked if we could move to the booth, we were told they booked it. Communication was obviously poor among the staff.That high top should not even be where it is located. People were bumping into us. It was loud because we were a few steps away from the bar. The table was very small, we could hardly fit our drinks on the table with our dinner. Very disappointed.

Terrible food - Tourist rip-off. we have been here twice and both occasions the food was far below par - I assume that cater to the tourist crowd who know no better!

Don’t waste a night of your vacation here. This restaurant is confused on who they are trying to be. The name conveys Italian but the sign’s subtitle says American cuisine. It’s like a dressed up Applebees with inferior food -which should say something. We had high hopes from the cute exterior that were quickly dashed from the first sub-par cocktail and mocktail. The bacon on our stuffed mushrooms was limp and virtually uncooked - the center filling cold. The pasta was heavy and unseasoned. Very bland. The “fish special”, sautéed snapper, was over-battered with a soggy texture.. We mentioned the mushrooms to our server who saw that we weren’t eating the food yet kept the charge on our bill. It wasn’t his fault that the food was poor but we would have expected better customer service. If you’re looking for a good meal in Marco, go elsewhere. We spent $160 for two people and left disappointed and hungry.
