To understand A Tavola, one must first meet Gerardo Mazziotta, executive chef and founder. Born and raised in Palomonte, near Salerno, Gerardo grew up surrounded by rolling hills and volcanic soil, where his family has long cultivated organic products in an artisanal way. This fertile region forms the foundation of the authentic Italian cuisine we proudly serve.

A Tavola means “at the table” — an invitation to share refined dishes and good company. Since 1999, this philosophy has guided us, blending Italian tradition with a contemporary spirit.

In 2025, Gerardo’s son Giuseppe Mazziotta returned to continue the family legacy. With experience gained in Michelin-starred restaurants, Giuseppe strengthened the restaurant at the front of house and developed Amsterdam’s largest Italian wine list.

The culinary team is completed by Chef Alessandro Rota, our head chef. His career began at a young age in Angelo Sabatelli's Michelin-starred restaurant, where he learned the fundamentals of the trade: respect for the product, precision, and attention to detail. His dishes reflect a clear philosophy: cuisine that is pure, clear, and authentic.

Together, they bring tradition, experience, and a shared passion for Italian cuisine to the table.

We invite you to join us on a culinary journey that embodies the essence of Italy – with a contemporary approach that is both refined and heartwarming.

Welcome, to the table.
