As the name suggests, located in the Old Train Station complex in Tel Aviv. Nice menu, good food, friendly service, relatively quiet main square of the complex. Somewhat expensive, and the tip was added to the bill directly on Saturday night.

My wife and I a had a lovely dinner at Italkia Ba'Tachana איטלקיה בתחנה on Friday November 1st. We would like to thank our waiter, Tony, who was very kind, professional and service-minded and we couldn't thank him personally because he finished his shift before...we completed our meal. We'll definitely come again.More

I had a dance show in suzzane dellal at 9pm and arrived to the arrive more than an hour earlier and decided to look some place to eat I walked to the old train station not which is not far and looked for a place...to eat something I ended up eating in this Italian place and to my surprise there was also a free opera show in the compound that started at around 8pm I ordered the caprese salad and the ben Ami pizza both were very good The service was slow and and took a lot of time to find someone to help in the few cases I needed somethingMore

Food is OK, took 2 hours to arrive, and 2 dishes didn’t arrive after those 2 hours... still waiting. Never seen something like that.

I love the food at the Italkia. It is my 4th visit there since it is open and we enjoyed as if it was first. We came a family of four, with kids 7&4 years old. There was no table available, however the host offered...the bar. We didn't wanted to take it first, but than agreed and I am happy we did. We ordered seafood pasta, pizza with prosciutto and the special of seafood in white cream dish. All dishes were very good. we also got treated by the barman who offered free chasers. All in all, great experience.More

The place is nice as you can eat inside or in the terrasse. The food (Italian) is good, sometimes a little bit costly depending of the dish. Staff is also very profesional. We spent good time.

I actually like the food at this restaurant, but today I experienced the following: I went to lunch today, at the “Italkia b’tachana” restaurant in Tel Aviv, with an English speaking friend. When we got the Hebrew bill, I noticed the waiter had automatically added...15% tip. He did not know I read Hebrew. When I confronted him and asked him if it’s noted in the menu that this is what they do, he said no, but it’s a new law. We said that we eat in plenty of restaurants and have never come across this phenomenon. He said its a recent law. He did say that if we wanted to reduce the % we could or that he would take it off all together. When I confronted the shift manager and complained in Hebrew, she said they do that to tourists because they don’t always leave tips and if I wanted she would reimburse us. I told her that I would report them. If they are going to arbitrarily add a tip to the bill, then they should have it noted in their menu. If I hadn’t said anything, the waiter wouldn’t have even mentioned that he’d added the tip. I wonder what would have happened if I had told him to add a tip, would he have told me that they already did? Very upsetting.More
