A ‘Tavola Ristorante of Old Bridge has been established since April 2002. If you are a regular, then you already know the feeling that you get when you walk through our doors and are greeted by the same smiley faces. My dream was to build a place which would bring people together. Throughout the years, I have experienced numerous guests from one table, converse and laugh with another, eventually becoming friends. This is what I had aspired for A’Tavola and truly enjoy seeing the accomplishment. We have become close to many and hope that you feel at home with us while you take in the fantastic aroma of our amazing Chef Carranza’s creations, prepared in our open kitchen. It’s not every day that you experience and see the fruition of a dream. I would like to express how appreciative I am of each individual I have met along the way. Not only for keeping the restaurant blooming for everyone to enjoy, but also for being concerned with our daily lives as well. Thank You! For those who are dining with us for the very first time, my staff and I strive for you to receive the same experience as our extended family. Therefore, I guarantee you will feel a deep sense of gratitude from all of us this evening. I wish you the most pleasant dining experience and may all your expectations be met here at A’Tavola. Enjoy!
