Chef Mike always outdoes himself. If you've eaten at the main restaurant next door, you already know the quality is top-tier, but the sandwiches at the bakery are honestly out of this world. ​I've tried almost everything on the menu, but my all-time favorite is Lena's Meatball Smash--it's the perfect lunch. Make sure to grab some gelato for dessert to close out the meal!​Quick Recommendations: ​The Porchetta: Herb-packed and slow-roasted. ​Chicken Parm: Fresh sauce and great mozzarella. ​Fresh Breads: The focaccia and sourdough are baked daily and make the sandwiches. ​Pastries: Don't leave without a cannoli or some Italian cookies. read more

Ordered the meatball smash, which is supposed to come on semolina bread and it did not come on semolina bread which was disappointing. Further disappointing, was paying $4.00 for their signature almond cookie that wasn't very fresh- at least several days old. Also, ordered a salad with a topping of chicken and another sandwich - waited 20 minutes for the order which came to $88.50 total - a lot for 2 sandwiches, a salad and stale cookie. Service was just OK. Ambiance is clean but small- very Greek vibe. Someone came in and ordered after me and got their food before me. I probably wouldn't go back. read more

Tavolena bakery is right next door to their restaurant, and only open during the day. I had the meatball smash, which was tasty and had some good crunch, but for $18, an included small side would add some value, otherwise feels a bit pricey for what I'd consider a modest sized sammy. read more

If you haven't been here, YOU MUST!! We walked up to the bakery front and Daniel and John happily greeted us with a smile. We mentioned it was our first time, and we live very close and never tried this little gem, and they made sure we had the very best experience. We ordered the "Vito" stuffed to the brim with Wagyu Beef Carpaccio and my husband tried the Meatball Smash. To say this was the best Italian I've ever had in America is an understatement. Each plate, ingredient and dish is a work of art, handcrafted, and full of flavor!! You can tell Chef Michael Rolchigo knows what he is doing. The ambiance was classy, perfectly decorated with the coolest touches all around! When we looked at the prices, we were speechless because of how affordable this luxury is. Dessert was divine; we ordered the Madagascar vanilla gelato, the chocolate moose crunch bar and their famous almond cookies. Each was bold, creamy and perfectly balanced and we were left in food coma bliss from how incredible they were. What a privilege it was to discover our new favorite spot today! Just wow! We will be back and bringing friends and family!! read more

We've heard wonderful things so we finally had to try Tavolena for lunch. The restaurant is pristine and nicely decorated - it looks like it could be somewhere on the Amalfi Coast, although it is quite small - 2 tables inside, and maybe 2 or 3 more outside. We ordered at the counter and got our order to go. The staff was very warm and helpful (offered suggestions, answered questions, checked on the status of our order etc). Even though they were pretty busy, we only waited for about 10 mins which I feel is fair. We decided to try the meatball smash, the chicken Milanese, and The Big Lufthansa (a nod to the greatest movie of all time). Everything was delicious. Yes, it's a bit pricey for a sandwich but it is absolutely worth it... the bread is made in house and the ingredients are top quality and very fresh. This place absolutely deserves all the hype and we'll be back. read more

Pricy but delicious!!! My bestie and i checked out this local Italian sandwich shop adjacent to its sister Italian dining restaurant. I am such a foodie so I love trying new places. Staff were knowledgeable and friendly and directed us into ordering exactly what we wanted! We ordered the Vito and the meatball smash, both were delicious!! Their Coleslaw on the side is incredible. Finished it off with Madagascar, vanilla gelato, and a homemade tiramisu to go. (Not depicted here). Will absolutely be returning to try additional items on the menu! read more

Tavolena Bakery - Melanzana (Eggplant sandwich) - Bakeries Near Me - Jupiter, Florida

Chicken cutlet Caesar wrap is amazing! Parm crisps just top it off. Definitely get it.

This sandwich shop and bakery was opened about 5 weeks ago by the same Owners of Tavolena Restaurant. If you haven't been to either, you should change that as soon as possible. We placed a large order from Tavolena Bakery today and we were all floored. The Big "Lufthansa" is the best Italian sandwich I have ever eaten. The flavors that pop from this sandwich are absolutely unparalleled to anything in the area. The Turkey BLT was a very close second for the sandwiches... absolutely delicious. The Caesar chicken wrap was huge and absolutely delectable! The Desserts? Go ahead and order one of each, as they're phenomenal! read more

Tavolena Bakery - Margherita Flatbread. The homemade crust takes it to the next level. - Bakeries Near Me - Jupiter, Florida

The sandwiches are huge! The price matches. I have been there twice - one dine-in (well outside) and one take out. I liked what I ordered but am more of a basic ham and cheese person. It is busy on the weekend at lunch, I can only imagine weekdays are worse. My recommendation - order ahead read more

Variety of items. Restaurant next door. Love the eggplant sandwiches! Great service! Need to try restaurant as well as bakery!

Amazing place! Highly recommend this hidden gem in Jupiter. Menu is amazing and every plate I've had is a 10. Great sandwiches, bakery and coffee is great. Needs a few more tables but like the small private vibe of this place. read more

Wife and I ordered the spinach quiche for lunch today..We both commented on the rich pastry and creamy consistency..Our quiche was served on real china plates with a side arugula salad that was the perfect compliment..We're looking forward to another lunch soon as all the sandwiches ordered during our visit looked amazing. Everything is Fresh and Bursting with Complimentary Flavors.. Highly recommend... read more

My wife and I are obsessed with this lunch spot. We have both eaten here, and sat outside, and taken many wraps and sandwiches to go and everything has been incredible. The bread is super fresh and the ingredients are top notch. We have tried just about every sandwich they have, all are delicious. I especially love the Mortadella and veal cutlet. My wife loves the Melanzana. The staff is also very friendly. It very much reminds me of being back up in NY. We love it! read more

Where's the six star option?!? Holy $#!+ this place is good. Tucked away in the back of an older strip center I've never been into in 15 years in Jupiter. This is the tiny sidecar to their larger full service Italian spot next door (next on my list to try). First off, walking in you immediately realize you're in for something special. Beautifully designed space, with a very friendly and professional team dressed all in white there to guide you through your choices. Two four top tables to eat in, but this is pretty much a take out spot. Everything made fresh daily, including breads and deserts. I tried the meatball smash sandwich and it easily ranked top 3 all time of the zillion meatball sandwiches I've consumed. Also had the Italian tuna sandwich and it was great; although there's only so much one can do with a tuna sandwich. Lastly was a limoncello tart. No words...11/10. The place isn't cheap, nor should it be. This is so far elevated from your run of the mill "sub shop" it just doesn't compare. Sorry no food pics but it was all gone too fast to snap pics. Just go, you won't be disappointed, just fatter. read more

We grabbed a bunch of mixed sandwiches and sultry desserts. So good! Still eating them the second day. We're working our way through every sandwich. So far out of the veal, meatball, mortadella, etc, my favorite is the Parma. As always, the staff greet with the warmest service. Inside, is a beautifully decorated restaurant. read more
