Visited A Tavola this evening first time the staff were very welcoming friendly professional.wed explained when booking i was in a wheelchair didn’t need to worry they gave us a lovely table by a fireplace nook very pretty. When the food arrived we both had different chicken dishes the food served on hot plates food piping hot and absolutely delicious. Waiters attentive but not intrusive. We’re coming back end of March next year and will certainly book again. Apart from the food the ambiance is great. Thank you for making our 42nd anniversary memorable

My wife and I were in Canterbury for a few days during our recent trip to England and stopped in here because we prefer Italian cuisine over anything else. It can be hard to find healthful dining choices while traveling in areas like the UK, so any place that offers a good green salad will usually be our first choice. We were pleased to find that this was better than the average Italian restaurant. The pasta seemed to have been made fresh and the sauces were wonderful. The salads were also just what we were craving. Our waiter (Alex?) also happened to be from California, as we are, but the restaurant is owned and operated by Italians. We liked it so much, we returned the next day for pizza. Their pizza ranks among the best I've had, including my own homemade pizza and those that I've had in Italy. The chef (Italian, of course), came and chatted with us, as we lavished praise upon him for the delicious food. I wish I could take this place back to California with us. Even though we live near a major metropolitan area, I haven't found an Italian restaurant here as good as A Tavola in Canterbury.
