Tavula thoughtfully curates each dinner.
Choose one or more.
Open your home, welcome the group, and take your place at the table.
Plan and cook the meal, then share the Tavula with the group.
Join a Tavula, take part in the cooking when it makes sense, and share the meal.
No two Tavulas are quite the same. The people, the food, and the setting change each time—but everyone arrives with something in common.
I’m Armen Sarkisian, founder of Tavula. After cooking with family and friends in countries around the world for more than a decade, I realized this was my favorite way to eat: gathering around a table, learning from one another, and putting the food first.
Learning to eat well is a skill that takes time, and it’s a lot more fun with friends. I wanted to create the kinds of gatherings I’ve been lucky enough to share for years—because when the food comes first, the memories tend to stay with you.
After spending much of 2025 living in Palermo, Sicily, surrounded by incredible ingredients and a culture built around the table, I was inspired to start Tavula—the Sicilian word for table.
Choose as many as you'd like. At least one is required.
