Tavola — Menu Guide

Tavola is the flagship restaurant of the Elliot Park Hotel, Autograph Collection — Marriott names it as the hotel's on-property restaurant — a contemporary Italian room built around a wood-fired oven, with 50 wines by the glass and Wednesdays at 25% off all bottles. The rare good news in this phase: Tavola publishes official itemized menu prices, so the numbers below come straight from the restaurant's own dinner menu. No chef name is published on the official site — said plainly. Everything is written in our own words.

What we'd order

If we had one dinner here, this is how we'd play it:

  • Start with: the burrata ($16) — the safe, correct opener.
  • The pasta play: the garganelli ($24).
  • The land play: the dry-aged strip loin ($55) if the night wants a steak.
  • The wine play: come Wednesday for 25% off bottles.
  • The deal: watch for Minneapolis–St. Paul Restaurant Week — the 2026 edition ran a 3-course dinner at $40.
