Overall this restaurant is great for a date night or special occasion. The ambiance is amazing with service being impeccable. It has a unique style as it’s a restaurant inside a converted house making it very cozy. I will say however for the price, the food was okay and a little bland. There were a few food stand outs like the potatoes and the panna cotta dessert was amazing. The rest of the food was bland.

The fixe prix meal we had was a great value. Desserts and sald were all fr tasty.Mushrooms were outstanding. The gnocchi and the short ribs are truly great meals. Service was solid and very friendly. Throw in the patio in the warmewrs months and it can't be beat in UIkranian Village.

This was one of the top 5 dining experiences of my life. A perfect place for a romantic date. Make it a surprise!!!You pull up to what looks like an old house, covered in ivy. Inside, it was the closest to Italy ive been since returning from a trip to tuscany.Small, cozy, candlelit, few employees.My negroni was absolutely fantastic( I say this as a bartender in fine dining), an amazing way to start the dinner. My girlfriends aperol spritz was likewise amazing.The food could not have been better. The Gnochi was lightly sauced, the flavor seemed to come from the Gnochi itself, something I havent experienced before. It was absolutely fantastic.Dessert couldnt have been better either, the panna cotta was one of the best desserts Ive ever had, again the flavor was simply outstanding.An absolute home run for any romantic cozy date. My girlfriend said it was the best date of her life.

We discovered A Tavola yesterday and hard a great dining experience. Food was good although portions were very large. A beautiful dining room with excellent service. Wine selection was great. Would definitely return in the future.

The food was delicious, specifically the braised short ribs, portobello mushrooms, and panna cotta. Service was fast and friendly. The gnocchi texture is superb (light like clouds), however, you've got to like sage and brown butter sauce. Love the cozy, intimate atmosphere!

Incredible restaurant week menu. This was our first time and we were able to try a bit of everything—all delicious! We will be back and can't wait to try dishes from the normal menu!

A hidden gem. It's a cozy, intimate room that's quiet enough that you can easily converse with your friends. The food is always excellent, the service professional. The wine list is not big, but has lots of interesting options. We come here frequently and are never disappointed.

A Tavola is truly a special restaurant. The staff is kind and welcoming. The food is delicious and simple. It is obvious that care is put into every aspect of the restaurant. The setting is unique and personable. I had the grilled portobello and oyster mushrooms, cacio e pepe, and the gnocchi. All were fantastic but the mushrooms were the standout dish of the night. I have never tasted a mushroom with so much complexity and flavor. Everything about A Tavola is perfection. Highly recommend.

I've been 5 times and ALWAYS enjoyed myself, the food, the company, and the atmosphere. However, on the visit 12/21/2023 I visited for an anniversary dinner. This was the absolute worst experience ever. Service - The server was extremely slow on a non-busy Thursday evening. water took 15 to 20 minutes and bread service came around 30 minutes after we sat. Food - The Lamb pasta was heavenly as always however when the half chicken dish came out it was so dry it was a brick! To add insult to injury we ordered a half chicken and received a half-cut chicken breast and the smallest wing ever. The server goes to the kitchen after we tell him we do not want the item he goes to the kitchen and brings out the whole chicken that they cut it off from. WHO AUTHORIZED THIS?? He states normally there are more pieces but we only received half of a breast and a wing. remind you I have eaten this same dish the last 3 times I came here. Normally, I would stop here however I am extremely disappointed in what happens next. The manager on duty comes out and talks for 10 minutes about how they use the chicken from the day before that they would normally just serve to staff. EXCUSE ME WHAT? and the server said "Yes this is yesterday's chicken" This did not sit well with me to the point my face changed and the manager then changed the comment to "he just showed you what it would normally be cut from". however, that's not what either of them said. I just want a full refund at this point. This broke my heart because I truly loved this place and had so many memories here.

A Tavola is in a charming house and you feel like you are eating in someone's dining room. The service is attentive and the food was decent. I was meeting two friends for a holiday dinner and they were both running late. We were able to enjoy our conversation and dinner and were never rushed. The food is good but not great. We ordered the mushrooms which were very tasty, salad, Cacio and pepe, gnocchi and spare ribs with risotto. The cacio and pepe was mushy, gnocchi with brown butter and sage were good, spare ribs with risotto were very salty. For dessert we had chocolate cake which was also good. Our waiter was phenomenal and attentive but not overbearing and let us stay for a long time to talk. The restaurant was perfect for this occasion.
Menu was way limited. There is not a full bar, and the waiter was on the cool side.

This is a small, quiet, and charming restaurant. Everything we had from drinks to dessert was excellent. The beef short ribs are some of the best anyone in our party has ever tasted. Highly recommend. One note, if you come by Uber it is a very difficult location to spot. Have the driver drop you at the address location and find the entrance yourself. It isn't very noticeable from the car.
