A Tavola in Düsseldorf

The service was great, unfortunately I didn't like it... I had the canneloni and it tasted more like a ready meal than delicious Italian.

A piece of Italy in the middle of Düsseldorf's old town, great food "just like mom's", friendly service, rustic atmosphere

We came here very spontaneously and were not disappointed. Super cozy, nice staff and great food

Friendly staff, delicious food, nice atmosphere

The food is okay, but unfortunately the service is subpar.

Zu Mittag besuche ich ab und zu Mal diese Trattoria. Das Thunfischtartar ist mein Favorit. Der Service ist auch immer nett und freundlich.

The food is good, but the service is hectic and very unfriendly. If you don't order quickly enough, she sometimes hits the table demandingly. Starters were not allowed to be ordered because not everyone at the table wanted one.

I've been coming for many years and for me it's the best Spaghetti Csrbonara ever.. Price/performance ratio is unbeatable

A quick snack this afternoon with quick, friendly service and a short waiting time

Super! Good food, nice service and got a table even without a reservation.

It WAS our pizzeria. We were happy to be there as guests from abroad for several years. - This time, 4 days in advance by phone, as always, reservations were made for 4 people, this evening, for example, the expensive suggestion of spaghetti with truffles was stuck together, other dishes were not as usual, the wine was good, so or well, it can happen …… - However, we reserved again with the same name for the next evening, table for 4 people from 6.30 p.m. - And lo and behold, our table was occupied, appraising, smiling, the statement from the responsible service manager, actually we shouldn't reserve any more tables. Great 😡, we were there for the last time 🤷‍♀️, you really can't treat guests like that 😠😠.

Just bad! Service listless and very bad mood. Food carelessly prepared and far from worth the money! Waited forever until you got the menu (a printed sheet of paper with grease stains), only 1 glass of wine out of 2 ordered was served, 2 dishes came after about 30 minutes, but there were four of us and the other two dishes only came in 25 minutes later. No excuse, that's just how it was. At the end we asked for the bill 4 times and had to wait almost an hour so we could finally pay. NEVER AGAIN A TAVOLA!!!!

The food is very good, 4.5. Steak in a chianti reduction, and a quattro Formaggi rigatoni. The bottle of Valpolicella wine was very good, (priced about 2.5x retail which seems standard in Altstadt). Inside is very loud (both visits) and it is very warm. Have not sat outside, as we did not want to wait for a table (No offer to buy a drink while we waited. Atmosphere 2.5 Both visits, it seems they were short staffed and could use one or two more servers/runners. Took forever to get a drink, and Wine bottle did not arrive until well after entre was delivered. attitudes seemed a little off-putting, hostess and server. Service 2.5 Will visit again and sit outside, and see if change in location redeems it.

We were there twice! The first and last time! We had reserved a table (it was fine the day before) but the table was occupied. When we asked why the table wasn't free, the waiter grinned arrogantly and said they'd better not reserve any more tables, whatever that might mean. An apology would have been appropriate. You'll never see us again.

Local is ok, food ok, service ok. Table for 4 people, reserved for the next day. Got there the next day, was greeted by the boss himself, but there was no table left. Grinning, he said he'd better stop making reservations. We wish him continued success with his arogance. Apparently he can afford to treat customers like that.

Great food, great location, fair prices and nice service. Gladly again.

The food was very good, although the prices were higher. The service is ok but at 36 you don't want to be called a boy by the waiter. The bill only came when requested again.

Perfect lunch stop or dinner stop after a long day walking. Place is full of love and good flavors!

The tuna tartare is highly recommended 😋

The food at A Tavola was fantastic. The saltimbocca and the pasta with king prawns are highly recommended! Everything fresh and seasoned with that special Italian twist. Ambience and service were also good. It's great that there were 4 delicious cookies at the end. :)

The food was very tasty and the terrace is cozy. The waitress mocked us as guests and her colleagues. It's a shame for the chef, who conjured up really delicious food. Unfortunately, the service is the highlight in this case. Not a second time

Heerlijk terras, lekker gegeten , vriendelijke bediening! Uitstekende prijs-kwaliteit verhouding. Echt een leuke plek!

It was very tasty and entertaining. We'll be back!

The food was acceptable although it did not meet my expectations. But I have never seen such a dirty restaurant in my life. All the plates were covered in greasy fingerprints, and there was a greasy mark on the edge of the plates as if the sauce had been wiped off with it. 🤢 After all this, my friend convinced me that the employees are under stress and something like this can happen accidentally. I wanted to be generous and, since I worked in the catering industry myself for some time, I tipped 20%. However, the waiter was ice cold, just threw the receipts on my friend's table and walked away without saying thank you or saying goodbye! In any case: never again! This city has enough good and clean Italian restaurants.

They don't make an effort to make themselves understood, the letter is only in German, first they charge you and then they bring you the bill 🙄

I've been going there for many years. Of course, it is very popular at lunchtime, especially for business lunches, and is therefore definitely a great place to eat. But I think €18.90 per month for a plate of pasta that used to cost €13.50 is really quite over and no longer appropriate. I've had food twice now that wasn't seasoned well at all. Then there are waiters who only speak English (not that I can't manage that!) but knowing a little language certainly doesn't hurt...

EXCELLENT. Great food, truffle pasta and eggplant casserole tasted great. Salad and starter also great. Friendly, attentive service. Sat outside in the narrow alley, very nice. Feeling like in Rome. Clear recommendation

Food really excellent, even the greetings from the kitchen 1A. Service could be improved, but OK. You should have tried it.

Waiter was grumpy, no thanks despite a 10% tip. That was very sobering. I've never had that with you. A pity.

Very good and very tasty food. After dinner there was a small dessert on the house. Super nice staff and very authentic.

Went there for lunch on Friday. The pasta with chanterelles was very good, as was the mixed vegetable starter from the display case. And the bread served with it... delicious. The service was also great.

16.90€ for a mozzarella and a tomato is actually a bit too harsh even in today's times

We always enjoy coming here. It's tight, cozy and the food is always good. The service has Italian charm. The menu changes seasonally. Good primitivo!

Overpriced food. Not a big selection. Unfriendly service. For Italian cuisine, standard dishes for too much money. Gluten intolerance is not taken seriously. No pizza on the menu.

Ambiance: outside or inside a highlight, extremely Italian, seating outside gives you the feeling of being in Italy. Service: the female waiter is unfriendly and makes you feel unwelcome, the rest is competent and charming. Food: 9/10 About my experience: A bit slow service + gear calls, gives you the feeling of being in France, haha ​​but the job was done. We had antipaste starter (ordered vegetarian), bread in advance and antipaste (very very tasty) ravioli with spinach and tomato cream and penne with mozzarella tomato sauce. Ravioli to recommend, the penne with mozzarella was a 10/10 every 4 bites, otherwise very bland, for dessert we had tiramisu and almond pastries with the 'dessert wine'. The dessert wine was more of a liqueur, and not a good one. Well for the price you can't complain 8.90 for 0.1 with the almond pastry. Tiramisu was a highlight. We will definitely come back at some point.

Sitting on the church wall under a parasol in summer and eating delicious Italian food... This has atmosphere!

Italian restaurant with a very good selection of pastas and funds. They welcome you with bread rolls to taste the olive oil with salt and pepper. I ordered the taglierini della casa with black truffle and they were delicious but, based on personal taste, I would have changed the pasta for a thicker and more bodied one. My husband ordered the Penne Bolognesa and the sauce was very rich and tasty, the pasta cooked to its perfect point. Delicious wine and super friendly service. Reservations are recommended.

We spontaneously looked for a restaurant and found “A Tavola”. When asked if there was a table available for 6, the restaurant was immediately moved around to make room. The staff is incredibly courteous and very attentive. You can see immediately whether a guest needs something or whether the glass is empty ;). The food is excellent. You feel like you're on a short vacation in a restaurant in the middle of Italy. I can recommend this restaurant with a clear conscience.

Very high quality, delicious food and very attentive service.

Delicious, authentic Italian food. The service was friendly and showed interest in conversation. In summer it feels like you are in Italy.

Food not splendid, good service and location

Very slooooow service Too expensive for the quality offered

Very nice team. The food was served quickly. Pleasant atmosphere

Great atmosphere, super nice service, super attentive, the food was really good. Green asparagus baked with parmesan... Simple and yet so good. Bis di Pasta: couldn't pass up a bite. We are here so often. And we always order boiled beef with herbs. This is the only place where we eat boiled beef. The way is grandiose and unique. Thank you that you exist.

We ordered spaghetti estate (€18.90) and lamb chops (€35.90). Spaghetti was al dente, nothing special, but solid. Lamb chop was completely unseasoned and consisted of more bones than meat. Side dishes were delicious. The white wine "Lugana" was good. Service needs improvement. We were forgotten, then our order was mixed up and they forgot to give us the menu. At the end we wanted the bill. Here too we were forgotten again and we were given sweet pastries instead. 10 minutes or more later we were able to pay. The waiter didn't sound too friendly, but maybe he was a little worn out at the end of the day. In any case, we were disappointed with the service, but it may well have been because we were there very late and the kitchen closed in 10 minutes.

The food and wine are quite expensive for a lunch but ok. A wait of almost 45 minutes for the food to arrive is absolutely too long at lunchtime. The service is also not particularly interested or attentive. With one praiseworthy exception: a very friendly black man took care of things and thus improved the rating a little.

Small cosy italien Restaurant with excellent Food.

We used to go to A Tavola a lot. Unfortunately, the quality of the food has deteriorated significantly and is no longer commensurate with the high price.

Disastrous service, food unappetliti. Never again.

Als langjährige Gäste waren wir nach längerer Zeit wieder dort und hatten uns auf gutes Essen gefreut. Bei den Spaghetti mit Meeresfrüchten fehlten schlicht die die "Meeresfrüchte und die Anzahl der Muscheln war auch sehr übersichtlich. Leere Muschelschalen gab es dagegen reichlich. Was aber besonders unangenehm war, waren die Splitter von Muschelschalen die immer wieder aussortiert werden mussten. Nicht nur unangenehm sondern auch gefährlich. Laut Kellner ist es "normal". Bei den Tagliatelle mit grünem Spargel und Tomaten störte die salzige "Tütensoße" Für uns war es der letzte Besuch in A Tavola.

Very good Italian cuisine! Not a pizzeria around the corner, but high quality food. Small restaurant with many tables and therefore very narrow and therefore loud.

Delicious Italian food. Reservations recommended because it was very busy even on a Tuesday evening.

Wir hatten einen Tisch für 19:30 Uhr. Das Lokal war knallvoll außen und innen. Bedienung und Kunden drängen sich aneinander vorbei. Extreme Lärmkulisse.. Der Service wirkte von Anfang an, gestresst, unfreundlich, unorganisiert, laut am diskutieren untereinander. Die Vorspeise (Fisch-Carpaccio) kam nach 20 Minuten und war lecker. Als 1 Stunde später der Hauptgang noch nicht da war, haben wir nachgefragt, Unser Essen war komplett vergessen worden und wurde dann erstmal neu aufgenommen. Es kam dann um 21:15 Uhr. Spaghetti al Scoglio mit Muscheln und Mini-Oktopus, Letztere waren allerdings nicht zu finden. Der Weg zur Toilette war ziemlich verschmutzt. Das Ambiente ist rustikal, die Lage in einer engen Altstadtgasse sehr nett. Die einfachen Holzstühle wackeln teilweise Das Essen war okay, aber nicht herausgehoben, Die Preise sind eher gehobenes Niveau dafür erwartet man mehr Qualität und besseren Service.

Very tasty bread with olive oil and super tasty pasta! Atmosphere is pretty nice too but a bit loud.

Simply great, highly recommended

We were at “A Tavola” on a Saturday evening. Unfortunately, the waitress was very pushy with sayings like: “Go for something better, it’s the weekend.” The dishes were advertised as the “best fish/meat” in the world, unfortunately the dishes were just ok. The truffle pasta for €32.90 was bland and boring. The response to our feedback was apathetic and disinterested. A pity! 250€ for 4 people for a mediocre evening at best.

Great Italian restaurant in Düsseldorf's old town. I was alone and it was packed. I was still offered a place at the only free family table. The food was great and the service was great. Thank you!!

unfriendly staff and food that seems overpriced for what you get. Unfortunately very disappointing. I wouldn't go there again nor recommend it to anyone else!

The food tasted very good. Here you are not at all in a corner pizzeria. The service is functional but polite and the waiting time is a bit long. The furnishings are also rather rudimentary, but you definitely feel the down-to-earth Italian charm. The two cards are a bit confusing overall, but the result on the plate is convincing. In terms of price, the price is very ambitious in some respects. Especially when it comes to the average wine, which is not more precisely defined. In the end, it's worth a visit if you want to spend a euro or two more.

Small Italian restaurant with delicious dishes and much more than pizza and pasta!

Always wonderful and super tasty! Starting with the delicious bread with olive oil, the delicious starters and the excellent main courses! Truffle pasta, risotto or meat - it all tastes good! grace

Ich war gestern seit ewigen Zeiten mal wieder bei A Tavola mit einem Freund essen gewesen! Die Bedienung super nett und zuvorkommend, Brot mit Olivenöl zum Einstieg auf Kosten des Hauses, dazu einen hervorragenden offenen Rotwein aus Sizilien, der war wirklich top! Unsere Hauptspeise, wie man auf dem Bild sieht, war auch wirklich sehr gut, meine Spaghetti hätten ein wenig mehr al dente sein können aber trotzdem sehr gut. Zum Nachtisch bekamen wir noch super leckeres Gebäck gereicht, sehr sehr lecker. Wir waren vollkommen zufrieden und können das Restaurant nur empfehlen.

On the recommendation of friends, we visited A Tavola on a cold January evening. Fine food, very friendly service and several glasses of Vino Bianco made the evening a real experience. The restaurant was packed, but the Italian restaurant next door was less so. I wonder why. We were so happy that we went back the following evening - even if unplanned. Highly recommended.

Too crowded, too loud, too cold and unfortunately the menu wasn't convincing either. Prices set quite high

Wir kommen schon seit vielen Jahren und waren erneut mega zufrieden. Service und Essen sehr gut. Wir freuen uns auf den nächsten Besuch.

Sehr klassischer Italiener im Herzen der Altstadt. Geschmacklich und von der Auswahl der Gerichte absolut überzeugend. Sehr frisch zubereitet schmeckt man den Italiener voll heraus. Durch das überzeugende Essen, oft sehr viel los. Es bietet sich an zu reservieren, waren schon mehrfach dort und es war immer voll. Also wer Lust auf Italien in der Düsseldorfer Altstadt hat, ist hier genau richtig.

Sicherlich einer der besten Italiener in Düsseldorf. Hochwertiges, sehr leckeres Essen, authentisches, Ambiente, sehr nette Gastgeber. Wie in Italien zu Hause, sehr gerne wieder.

Das Essen war super, leider machte es den Eindruck, dass zu viele Reservierungen angenommen wurden. Trotz unserer Reservierung kamen wir zunächst nicht weiter als bis zu Eingangstür, wo wir 10 Minuten warten mussten, um überhaupt weiter zu kommen. Es war entsprechend voll und sehr laut, sodass man kaum das eigene Wort verstanden hat. Dass der Kellner fast flüsterte, erschwerte die ganze Angelegenheit. Leere Backpulvertütchen auf dem Boden machten auch keinen so guten Eindruck. Nichtsdestotrotz hat mir mein Gericht sehr gut geschmeckt und ich verbuche es mal unter einem Abend, an dem es ausnahmsweise etwas turbulent zuging. Normalerweise hat hier alles seine Ordnung.

Heerlijke gerechten! Een van mijn favoriete Italiaanse restaurant, ga hier altijd afsluiten na een dagje Düsseldorf.

Wir haben das Restaurant zufällig ausgewählt, da es recht gut besucht und traditionell erschien. Leider wurden wir in allen Punkten eines Besseren belehrt. Das Essen war noch das Beste an unserem Erlebnis, wenngleich nicht besonders herausragend. Der Service und das ist nun einmal das A und O war unterirdisch schlecht, geradezu beschämend. Die Kellner:innen haben sich lautstark über zu viel Arbeit beschwert und ließen das immer wieder den Gästen gegenüber lautstark verlauten. Wir fühlten uns alles andere als willkommen und waren froh als wir gehen konnten. Dieses Restaurant ist keine Empfehlung wert.

дорого и нечего есть, чисто посидеть с друзьями

Sehr leckeres Essen, toller Service!

Amazing food, very kind people and the best service!!! Would highly recommend

Wie immer ganz wunderbar leckeres Essen!!! Wir kommen immer wieder gerne in dieses gemütliche, authentische Lokal … Vielen Dank

Bester Italiener! Panzerotti probieren!

Very good food quality, typical south Italian taste and fair prices in the "Altstadt" of Düsseldorf!

Everything was perfect. I totally suggest this restaurant.

Amazing experience! First of all the service was excellent! Everyone was very friendly and accommodated every need. Thr food was juts amazing! My Milanese was delicious, i couldn't have enough of it! Overall experience was just wonderful! Highly recommend! Ps.thanks for kindly bringing me a small piece of Polenta to try❤️

Sehr schönes Ambiente. Essen etwas viel Öl.

Das Essen ist recht halbherzig zubereitet und der Service dauert ebenfalls deutlich zu lange. Nachdem wir eine falsche Bestellung erhalten haben, mussten wir erneut 25 Minuten für ein Pasta Gericht warten… eine Entschuldigung kam nicht. Die Gerichte werden nicht traditionell zubereitet, sondern eher wie es dem zu passen scheint (vor allem keine hochwertigen Zutaten). Leider für die hohen Preise sehr unzufrieden.

Zu voll, zu laut und vor allem unangenehm gespielt „freundlicher“ Service von der Dame. Der Wein landetet mehr neben dem Glas, als in Glas, genau so beim Servieren der Speisen wurde erfolgreich gekleckert. Und es wurde auch kein Tuch oder ähnliches gereichte Können wir eigentlich super entspannt drüber hin weg sehen aber wir haben uns hier einfach komplett unwohl gefühlt. Essen war ok- aber für die Preise halt auch wirklich nur ok. Gibt weit aus bessere Italiener wo die Preis/Leistung passt. Eigentlich schriebe ich selten eine schlechte Bewertungen aber hier passte nicht wirklich viel. Krönender Abschluss: bei der Rechnung wurde Unangenehm und zum fremd schämen um Trinkgeld gebellt. So etwas haben wir noch nirgends erlebt.

Sehr enges Restaurant. Die Kellnerin hat schon Wasser eingeschenkt als wir quasie noch nicht mal saßen. Das Wasser musste aber bezahlt werden. Sie war auch etwas forsch was die Essensbestellung an ging. Es gibt das und das, die Karte brauchen sie gar nicht...sie bot natürlich die teuren Gerichte an. Das Essen war gut.

Sehr gutes Essen, freundlicher Service, nur etwas laut. Dafür aber in urigem Charme. Mit etwas Glück kann man draußen sitzen. Die Küche ist offen, was mir persönlich sehr gut gefällt 😁 Edit: Nach dem Essen sind uns zwei Sachen aufgefallen, die gar nicht gehen - eine etwas ältere Kellnerin trank ein Weinglas von einem Gast leer, als sie es abräumte. Zusätzlich aß sie von einem Teller, als die Gäste weg waren und sie diesen abräumen wollte. Das sollte definitiv vor Gästen geschehen. Auch wurde sich auf uns gelehnt (wir saßen vor dem Weinregal), als eine neue Flasche rausgeholt wurde. Auch das geht mMn nicht.

Excellent food casual dining place . Has a feel

Wir waren eigentlich immer sehr zufrieden, da es autentische italienische Küche gab. Seit gut einem Jahr hat die Qualität aber derart nachgelassen, dass wir hier nicht mehr hinkommen.

Coole Lokation… schön an der Kirchenwand gesessen! Gemütlich… Essen war gut …service sehr freundlich!

Glück gehabt mit dem Platz. Nicht der günstigste aber Essen war gut.

Wir hatten bisher immer sehr gute Erfahrungen, Service sehr nett und Essen lecker

Sehr laut, die Terasse ist schön aber die Spagetti carbonara waren wirklich ein Witz! Formschinken und Sahne. Hat sehr Laff geschmekt. Authentisch italienisch geht anders.

Sehr schönes Ambiente, leider variieren Qualität des Essens und Service ein wenig von gut zu mittelmäßig

Nice little Italian restaurant food was very tasty and staff was very friendly.

Recht unfreundlich, aber sehr gutes Essen

Essen ist klasse. Leider wurde eines von drei Gerichten vergessen und kam dementsprechend viel zu spät.

Дуже приємне та затишне місце! Чудова атмосфера. Виникає бажання прийти ще)

Petite rue au calme.. carte limitée mais pas un problème.. pain avec huile d'olive de qualité pour l'apéro... prix du vin au verre vraiment exagéré.. prix au final exagéré... nous avons dû demander l'addition.. juste la présentation du terminal de paiement sans détails au départ.

Das Essen war lecker, das Lokal selbst sehr laut. Kann man drüber hinweg sehen, aber eine Unverschämtheit war die Bedienung. So eine unfreundliche, schlecht gelaunte Kellnerin, die uns beim Servieren ständig ihre Brüste in den Rücken drückte und wiederholt anmeckerte, ist nicht tragbar für ein Restaurant.

Leckere Vor- und Hauptspeisen und freundliches Personal

Ho mangiato un piatto di pappardelle alla bolognese, purtroppo erano scotte. La cameriera che ci ha servito non è stata particolarmente simpatica.

Esperienza negativissima, il proprietario sarà anche una brava persona ma di cucina italiana non ne capisce niente. Dico solo il finale della mia esperienza. Dopo aver ordinato delle penne alla siciliana, pagate 16.80€ e facevano pure schifo. Ho chiesto del parmigiano da asporto mi è stato consegnato in una busta della spesa 😁😁😁. Cosa che neanche in Bangladesh si permettono di fare.

Wir haben uns, so wie einige andere Gäste laut Bewertungen, nicht willkommen gefühlt. Der Chef der Bedienung (anscheinend) war arrogant und nicht kundenorientiert, selbst bei den Fehlern aus der Küche (ein Gericht wurde vergessen) gab es keine Entschuldigung, nur „Sie haben den Gericht wahrscheinlich später bestellt“ - nein, haben wir nicht. Der junge Kellner war allerdings freundlich und nett, das Essen war lecker, aber überteuert - selbst eine Portion Nudeln mit Tomatensauce kostet 15€. Wir waren immer gerne hier, und diesmal wollte ich meine gute Erfahrung mit meiner Familie teilen, bin aber wegen mangelnder Service enttäuscht worden.
