Neighbourhood gem
Good for special occasions
Charming

An intimate affair, with a menu of pasta and small plates to share, an all-Italian wine list of much-loved and lesser-known varietals, and an essential collection of cocktails, grappa and amari to start, finish and make the most of the afternoon and evening.

Reservations are available for lunch from 11 am to 3 pm daily, followed by a limited aperitivo menu from 3 pm to 5 pm. Dinner is served from 5 pm to 10 pm every night. Please note, we are unable to accommodate outside food in the restaurant, including birthday cakes. We look forward to breaking bread with you!

Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews

Caffè La Tana delights with "always amazing" food and "exceptional" service, ideal for group dining or a cozy date night. Signature dishes like spicy vodka pasta and burrata are crowd favorites. While the "lovely ambiance" enhances the experience, early or late visits ensure a quieter atmosphere.

La Tana is my go to restaurant. The food, service, and ambience are always outstanding. Perfect for sharing with a small group of friends. As a group of 4, we shared 2 appies and 4 pastas. We each had a favourite, but all were delicious. I especially loved the pasta that looked like wrapped candy with a browned sage sauce...I think. Can't wait to come again. My only small issue is that the noise level is high. Come early or later if you want a quieter dining experience.

Very comfortable and yet stimulating place. Staff very sweet. Food was excellent, no complaints at all. We had a great time. Want to visit at other times of day now to experience the coffee and the lunch variations of the Caffe.

Food and service are always exceptional, although wine by the bottle prices were a bit high for value. Carpaccio was unfortunately underwhelming, but all other dishes (starters, salads, pastas) were delicious.
