La Tavolata Reviews
Food and service was great.
After making reservations, my three friends and I arrived on time at La Tavolata to observe that it was a good thing we called ahead, all the unoccupied tables, except for one for couples, were also reserved.

La Tavolata is a cozy, tiny restaurant that serves delicious Italian cuisine. The complimentary bread is a great start, and the entrees do not disappoint. The red sauce is a highlight, with a tangy flavor that is addictive. The fried eggplant is also a standout, with a great texture and flavor. The pasta is made fresh to order and is loaded with flavor. Dishes like the Fettuccini Compleanno with chicken, sausage, and shrimp, and the Spaghetti Bolognese are highly recommended. The open kitchen and wine bottles add a charming touch, making diners feel like they are in Italy. The service is quick and friendly, and the food arrives hot, fresh, and rich in flavor. The garlic bread is generously topped with fresh garlic, and the strawberry lemonade provides a sweet and refreshing drink option. Although the restaurant is small and can have a wait during peak hours, the authentic, tasty pasta and cozy atmosphere make it worth visiting. Desserts like gelato are the perfect way to end a satisfying meal. La Tavolata remains a hidden gem worth exploring.
