Diners looking for an authentic Italian eatery should head straight to Darlinghurst's A Tavola (Italian for "to the table"). The restaurant makes visitors feel they've been adopted into a big Italian famiglia, with hand-made pasta and communal dining at a long marble table that stretches through the heart of the restaurant. The dishes are clean and uncluttered, making this kitchen one you'll wish you could come home to every night. A Tavola, which means "to the table", takes you right back to the heart of traditional Italian cooking and eating. Stretching down the length of the cosy restaurant is an impressive marble table at which the guests sit, amiably nudging their neighbouring pasta twirlers. The communal table is reminiscent of an Italian family kitchen centrepiece, supported by the fact that chef Eugene Maiale hangs up his home-made pasta at the head of it in anticipation of the night's orders.
