Our Story
Mario and Vesna began their journey in hospitality with a simple goal: to create welcoming spaces where great food, warm service, and community come together. In 2015, they opened French Toast Bistro in Plymouth, introducing guests to a fresh, from-scratch approach to breakfast and brunch that quickly earned a loyal following. Building on that success, they expanded in 2020 with French Toast in Canton, continuing their commitment to quality ingredients, approachable menus, and the kind of service that makes every guest feel like family. Now, they are proud to begin their next chapter with Tavola Mia in Grosse Pointe. As Mario specializes in Italian cuisine in addition to French, Tavola Mia's concept is modern Italian. Continuing with scratch kitchen, exceptional catering and banquet offerings, craft cocktails, and a clean, welcoming atmosphere. Also what truly makes Tavola Mia special is the team behind it. The management team is highly experienced and has worked alongside Mario and Vesna for many years. Their shared dedication to hospitality, consistency, and guest experience ensures that every visit reflects the same passion and standards that have defined their restaurants from the very beginning. They believe in hard work, improvement, where all employees are given the opportunity to grow within the company, develop their skills, and move into higher positions over time. Many leaders within the organization started in entry-level roles and advanced through hard work, training, and mentorship. With a well-trained team, great service, and a commitment to keeping the experience both elevated and affordable, Tavolia Mia is designed to be a place where people gather, celebrate, and create lasting memories.
