Good place to take a date:
9/10
Long renowned to be a top choice for Sydney dating, you’d be forgiven for being predictable with a date at A Tavola. With the oh-so-friendly staff and outstandingly good food, you can rely on this restaurant to deliver for special evenings. Love goes into everything that is cooked here, from the homemade pasta to the freshly caught fish, so it’s no wonder that there’s a little lingering in the air, is it? We think it’s infectious. Whilst many diners choose to sit at the long marble table, retreat to the back of the room for a more private experience at one of the cosy couple’s tables. Sip Tuscany wine as you attempt to gracefully nosh on your pasta, and don’t be surprised if this restaurant becomes a regular fixture in your relationship!
