Just perfect. Wonderful atmosphere, friendly service and exquisite, authentic food. High quality ingredients and great flavours (plus beautifully textured handmade pasta). Kept forgetting we were actually in New Mills, not Sicily.

This place is just epic. Food and service is always top end. The vibe of the place is brilliant too. Please don’t go though so that when I next want to go, I don’t have to wait 3 weeks for a table, thanks ;)

Went on Friday night to try the new menu, wasn’t disappointed. Everything was spot on. Back soon!

Visited A Tavola recently for a wedding anniversary meal with my wife - what a wonderful evening! A lovely warm and genuine welcome and we were pleased to find a very exciting range of options on the menu with some very attractive Sicilian specialities. which was a very welcome departure from the staple pizza/pasta of the formula Italian restaurant. All the food was quite delightful, as was the reasonably-priced wine, with the fresh pasta being something very special. However we have to highlight the deserts, in particular the cannoli which we agreed was the best we have ever had, beating the superb cannoli we have tried on holiday in Rome, Florence and Naples! Like other reviewers, we can't wait to come back and try more on this menu and to enjoy the A Tavola welcome and atmosphere again. Feel very blessed to have a restaurant like this on our doorstep! Cannot praise highly enough!

Authentic Italian food is hard to come by in the UK, but this gem of a restaurant absolutely nails it! It felt like we were in Palermo. We’ll be back…

Great night for my son's birthday!

Came here for the first time on Saturday evening. The food is amazing. One of the best restaurants I’ve been to. Felt like being on holiday. Can’t wait to visit again.

Great food as always, Dave gives a very personal service, always feel welcome A special evening every time we go there

Went to papa luigis and the service and food was unbelievable.. me and my partner really enjoy the meal and the service

We have eaten at this restaurant a number of times and have always enjoyed the food. The service was friendly and efficient as always. We have taken different friends here and they were equally impressed. We look forward to eating here again and we consider the 30 mile round trip from our home well worth the effort.

Great restaurant, excellent service and, as always, gorgeous food! I have just a couple of recommendations. Your sea bass is lovely, but to take it up a notch, how about crisping the skin. I sat upstairs yesterday, lovely space, but too warm! Air conditioning would solve that.

The place is simply amazing. Excellent food, service and value for money. Simply would not go anywhere else ❤️

Good food and service; we particularly enjoyed the new Caribbean flavours.

Lovely filling meal with attentive staff friendly and so welcoming. This was my second visit and exactly like the first time e noted thoroughly. I had baba ganoush starters and grill King prawn with rice and salad I was so full I couldn't fit a dessert in. Thank you for a lovely meal x

First time dining here this week, what a new local gem. Beautiful food, excellent service. Already booked to go back as we want to try everything on the menu!

Lovely food ... especially the arancini and the tiramiso (to die for ) .... I do wish we'd been outside round the back though as we found it very noisy as the evening went on ....

Fantastic service, delicious food and an all round authentic experience. Start with a meze sharer and you can’t go wrong.

Fantastic food and excellent service as always. Our go to restaurant and so lucky to have it within walking distance. The menu changes often enough to showcase the best quality in season produce but is comforting so never daunting; even our 15 year old niece who is "particular" found at least one item in each course that she wanted and loved everything. Will see you again soon; Thanks Tim, T and the Fat Loaf gang!!
