A hidden gem. I have been here twice now and have loved it both times. Everything is excellent. I love the Gnocchi they are like little fluffy pillows in brown butter, so yummy. The braised short ribs with risotto are fantastic. The Caprese salad was so fresh and tasty. A Great wine selection. I can't say enough good things about this wonderful restaurant. You must try it. A great place for a romantic night out. The service was top notch too.

A tavola is a charming restaurant with an ivy-covered building that feels like stepping into someone's home. The modest menu offers a well-attuned experience, with dishes that feel like a home-cooked meal. The atmosphere is cozy and intimate, making it perfect for a romantic date or a relaxing evening out. The service is excellent, with friendly staff who provide good recommendations. Guests have enjoyed the Tagliatelle Bolognese, Tagliatelle with lamb ragù, the short rib risotto, and the flourless chocolate cake. The braised short ribs and the mushrooms as an antipasto are also perfect. The restaurant features a delightful patio for outdoor dining and a high-quality wine list with a wide range of choices. Recent visitors appreciated that the staff were very accommodating, even when arriving early, and enjoyed a leisurely dinner with no rush. The serving staff has been described as attentive and friendly, adding to the positive experience. Many guests noted that the restaurant maintains a lovely, intimate ambiance, making it easy to talk. Although loud music from the kitchen can sometimes overpower the atmosphere, overall, a tavola remains a magical gem that invites guests to return regularly for its delicious food and creative cocktails.
