Tavola

"We got dinner at Tavola, the restaurant in the hotel. We each had the Brussels cacio e pepe, and the fettuccine with burrata, artichoke, tomato, and pesto, and I got a Parts Unknown cocktail, which is Aperol, Cynar amaro, and Galliano l’autentico. It tasted a bit like grown up cough syrup."

"Dreamy Tavola in Elliot Park Hotel is now offering their entire menu for takeout. While their pumpkin spice pizza with roasted pumpkin, ‘Nduja sausage, mozzarella, aleppo pepper and orecchiette pasta dish with roasted squash, mushroom, savoy cabbage, preserved lemon, brown butter, and hazelnuts isn’t explicitly intended for the holidays, it’s seasonal and enticing enough to fit the bill. Add on the chicken breast with parsnip puree and kale and white bean soup while you’re at it, if you’re so inclined." - Alicia Banaszewski

"This Tuscan eatery may be located four blocks away from U.S. Bank Stadium, but its floor-to-ceiling windows and hearth-centric menu can turn even the most hectic downtown weekend into a lazy sunlit meal in the Italian countryside. Situated in the recently opened boutique hotel, Elliot Park, the all-day menu showcases the work of a wood-burning stove, where the restaurant makes gorgeously chewy, fragrant breads and pizzas." - Julie Zhou
