Tavola Calda Gentofte

Fantastic Italian food, authentic restaurant and really good service. We will definitely come again.

Sublime authentic Italian cuisine, right by the book. Highly recommended!

En lille Perle på en vej i Hellerup området. Men en lille restaurant som virkelig er en Perle. Talola Calda ligger og gemmer sig, så hvis du ikke kender nogle, som har været der eller tilfældigt gået en tur forbi, hvilket man ikke gør, hvis man ikke bor i området, så vil man slet ikke kende den. Her serveres 3-4 forskellige antipasti som er super lækre, Derefter 1 primo som består af en pastaret valgt ud af 3 forskellige muligheder. Så er man mæt men er helt syg for at prøve hovedretten, som der kun er 1 af, Men gudskelov for il secondo var fremragende og selv om, man er rimelig mæt så glider den ned uden problemer. Lækker lækker lækker. Derefter er der valg af en dessert, hvis man ønsker det og kaffe. Vi kunne ikke mere. Der er 2 vinmenuer den dyre koster 400 kr. Vi var 2 personer og spiste flg. 1 gang vinmenu til 400 kr 1 aperol spriz 2 x vand 2 x 3 retters menu Vi betale ca 1400 kr. og det var alle pengene værd. For at sætte prikken over i’et så var det en fantastisk god service vi fik af den unge kvindelige tjener. Vi kommer absolut igen.

I am Italian and I have yet to find an Italian restaurant in Copenhagen that's better than Tavola Calda, it trumps them all, even the allegedly gourmet ones are not remotely as good and as high quality as this place. All pasta dishes are homemade with particular attention to seasonal ingredients, which is commendable. For this reason, the menu is never the same and varies on a weekly basis. I used to live nearby and have dined there countless times. I regret having moved to the opposite side to town because it means I don't get to dine there as often, which is a huge loss for me. Portions are not small, but not too generous, admittedly. Partly because, as said, all pasta is homemade and of the highest quality, it's not low-quality mass production, so it's kind of understandable, it wouldn't be sustainable otherwise. it's meant to be savored. Partly it might be my perception simply because you feel you can never get enough! One important note: they tend to serve all pasta dishes with parmesan on top. I'm sure most people appreciate, but if you're like me and prefer pasta or ravioli or tortellini and the like without parmesan on top, make sure to specify it when you order! The bill is on the expensive side, but if you consider the quality of the ingredients and the manual work in the kitchen I feel that it's justified, more than in other overpriced places. The place is very small and cozy, hyggeligt, very suitable for a romantic dinner because of the ambience, but at the same time it can get a little loud at peak times in the main area as it's very popular with families and birthday dinners, so perhaps you can ask to be seated in the smaller area up the stairs that feels a little more intimate. I highly recommend reserving a table. You might get lucky but it's so popular that it's often booked up. Being Italian myself, I can highly recommend Tavola Calda for authentic Italian food! To me it's the best Italian restaurant in the greater Copenaghen region.

Fantastic atmosphere. One set menu for all. Vibrant place. Very cosy. Highly recommended. Location in the middle of housing gives it a "local taverna" feel. A++. Would definiteæy come again.
