As mentioned, you need to serialize (i.e. create a string representation) your table.

For example:

local Data = require( 'Data' )

-- save the content of table 't' to file 't.txt'
Data[ 't.txt' ] = t

-- load the content of file 't.txt' into variable 't'

t = Data[ 't.txt' ]

-- print the content of table 't' as a string
print( Data( t ) )

_[1]={}
_[1]["city"]="São Paulo"
_[1]["country"]="Brazil"
_[2]={}
_[2]["city"]="Napoli"
_[2]["country"]="Italy"
_[3]={}
_[3]["city"]="Nantes"
_[3]["country"]="France"
_[4]={}
_[4]["city"]="Chicago"
_[4]["country"]="United States"
