la Tavola - Villefranche-sur-Mer

Since I lived in Italy, I always look for an excellent Italian restaurant in town. If you look for good food, la Tavola is the best restaurant without a doubt.

The food is pretty good and average price for the area , but boy was the service slow , slow for drinks , very slow for food, almost to the point where we wanted just to give up .Will put it down to place being popular and the kitchen being too busy to cope , but the wait did spoil the experience.Could be worth asking at the outset how long things are going to take , or tell them that you need to be out by such and such a time . Beware seems the main man speaks no English

The service in this restaurant was unbelievably slow. I think I have rarely waited so long for food in a restaurant. The food itself when it eventually arrived was quite average. I wouldn't go here again.

While food was passable the attitude of the staff was brusque and unfriendly. After being shown a table in a good spot we were then told to move to another less desirable spot. We then waited 25 minutes for our food and drink order to be taken. No bread or water were offered and the house wine when it came was very underwhelming. Definitely would not recommend this place as there are so many good alternatives very close by.

No waiting, correct and very good reception, a pity that it is a little expensive but it is rather profitable.
