I have to admit the first time I had heard of A Tavola was at the Taste of Sydney Festival 2012. It was a great little intro. Hand made pasta, with a just like “mama used to make” ragu all wrapped in and around my plastic fork and nestled away in my little throw away container. Our brief encounter was enough to bring me back for a visit to sample more of what A Tavola had to offer.
Red cabbage, raisins, dolce latte, walnuts, balsamic $16
To begin with, the red cabbage, raisins, walnuts with balsamic was filled with texture and bite. A simple yet pleasant way to start off the evening but I still felt it was missing something.
Half moon shaped ravioli filled with peas, ricotta, oregano, heirloom carrot, truffle pecorino $31
The half moon ravioli definitely had lift off. The decently portioned ravioli was filled with a positively plump centre of mushy peas and ricotta. Dressed with oregano and truffle pecorino it was lightly submersed in a burnt butter sauce. The creamy buttery perky pasta parcels was enough to break a girl’s heart, since we had only ordered this to share. Which wasn’t annoying at all, since I only had one!
Hand cut pappardelle pasta, slow braised beef, red wine, tomato, bay, sage $34
Welcome to A Tavola, for some home made pasta dishes, just like how mama used to make.

Beautiful food, and how could you not have the ragu? It looks amazing
It is pretty unreal. So chunky you can carve it!
after seeing your pictures i regret not ordering the ravioli when i was there! looks so good! 🙂
LOL gosh I hate that feeling but all the more reason to go back TFS!
the pappardelle sounds incredible!
It’s almost heartbreaking!
i love love love their pappardelle! i’m always torn with choices on whether i should get something other than the pappardelle, but i guess it works out cause i pick off other people’s plates too haha
Their pappardelle is def something special!
hahaha I AM terrible like that too! I think everyone knows if i eat with them. I will literally “eat” with them. lol
I’ve always wondered about A Tavola; the beef ragu papardelle looks delightful.
Joey you have to go. It’s pretty unreal!
