The Table First

Around the Table

Tavola is the Italian word for table. We gather people around thoughtful Mediterranean plates, handcrafted drinks, and quiet hospitality throughout Ottawa.

Our Foundation

Food and cocktails bring people together. Hospitality is what they remember.

Tavola Studio

Culinary Direction

Chef Oz

Rooted in Mediterranean traditions, Chef Oz designs seasonal menus tailored around the guests at the table rather than rigid catering formulas.

From handmade pasta to slow-roasted meats paired with local harvests, every dish balances comfort, understated beauty, and genuine flavor.

Beverage & Hosting

Katherine

Katherine directs cocktail design and guest care. Drawing on years in wine service and mixology, she creates balanced, seasonal beverage menus.

Her focus remains on ease and grace: taking complete stewardship of the kitchen and bar so hosts can sit down and enjoy their guests.
