Tavola Rustica

Tavola Rustica, which means the Rustic Table, is the pure essence of this Italian eatery. A place where many stories are told about our ancestors and even though they may have been poor, they were happy. This concept of Cucina Povera (poor kitchen)—a style of cooking that can be found in every society is all about making great food with simple and whatever available ingredients from the kitchen, forest, farm, ocean, etc. These simple, flavorful, and hearty dishes recreated for this menu will make you feel the love of family and friends. This is how our founder was raised and now he wants to share them with you—welcome around our Tavola Rustica.
