Another way to do this is by adding two or more spaces (according to the level of nesting) at the beginning of the rows. Therefore this:
1. Some item
2. Item with table
| xx|yyy|
|---|---|
|aa|bb|
* Nested item with table
| xx|yyy|
|---|---|
|aa|bb|
3. Another item.
It should look like this:

This is great - though I needed 3 spaces for this to work correctly. 2 spaces had no effect. – Lukasz Oct 16 '20 at 08:44

For me it must be 4 spaces – sify Feb 13 '22 at 10:50

I can't find a way to get it only with markdown. but you can use Inline HTML to replace ordered list, like
<ol>
<li> 1st
|xx|yyy|
|-|-|
|aa|bb|
<li>.

The link refers to a different problem, putting a list in a table rather than putting a table in a list. – ggorlen Sep 19 '21 at 00:20
