The room
One oven, one short menu
Tavola opened in 2016 with a single wood oven and eleven tables. We still have both.
The menu stays short because everything on it is made here that day. When something runs out, it runs out — and we’d rather tell you that than reheat it.

What people say
The best pizza in Rochester and it isn’t especially close. The crust has actual flavor.
We turned up at nine on a Friday with no booking, ate at the bar, and it was the best meal we’d had in months.
