Food was excellent. Long plate of anti pasta...each about 8 feet in length...fresh and tasty. Followed by a lentil soup...just like Tuscany and then a seafood ravioli. Mains were... More

Purchased a set lunch for 148 rmb that came with an antipasti buffet, but you could order your entree off the menu, pastas, pizzas , seafood, lamb, or salmon. I chose a pizza. I enjoyed the antipasti buffet and after 35 ,minutes my pizza had not arrived. When the pizza finally came I ate 2 pizzas and asked to take... More

It was pretty empty lunch time on a saturday. The food was just OK, not bad but not great. Pizza was OK, pasta not very good. Nothing special and lacking character. Location is nice and service is average. There are much better italian choices in Shanghai. When you enter the restaurant you can see the sign of red flag of... More

On arrival day our local business partners took us to an italian place, probably it was within walking distance from Shangri la hotel and offers a great view across the river. The italian chef, who came around greeting all customers and his team carefully prepare the food covering most of the italian classics. The antipasti was probably the most creative... More

We visited Tavola at lunch time and were impressed. The lunch menu includes an anti pasta buffet, a main which you order and then a dessert buffet. The anti pasta was very good and we all enjoyed the main dishes. The price was very reasonable for the quality, the service was good and there is a great view. Prices appear... More

My partner and I went to this restaurant during Dining City Restaurant Week. When we came there on one fine Friday evening, the restaurant was bustling with many diners. The restaurant has three dining rooms. The first one is right after the entrance. Rather low key, empty, and uninteresting. But if you go up to the second floor, you have... More

A great location on the river but service was poor and food very average. Would perhaps go along for views, and to enjoy outdoor seating, but would not go back to eat.

Nice location on water front in Shanghai, with plenty of space on second floor. The menu is very wide and we found good selection of wines. There is only one point that I regards to be improved : Service: I have feeling that they keep price high just to keep the level of the brand high, not justified by the... More
