We have been trying restaurants in Baltimore since our daughter started med school last Fall. La Tavola will definitely be one of our favorites for the next 4 years! Ambiance is excellent - so adorable inside! The bruschetta was outstanding, and all 3 pastas we tried were delicious! Wine, martini, and a mocktail were all terrific! Cannot wait to return!

We had New Years dinner here and it was delicious . My husband had chicken Parmesan which he thought was very good and I had Spaghetoni with truffles, cheese, speck and mushrooms. I can honestly say this was one of the best Italian meals I have ever had. The pasta was perfectly cooked and the sauce was delicious. And the Italian beer was not your usual stuff and also excellent. The restaurant was cute too. We will definitely be back.

Very slow kitchen on NYE for uneven food. Most restaurants are hit or miss on NYE but this experience was more disappointing than usual
Jay
Very enjoyable for a date, attentive service and quality food. Got very noisy despite tables being spaced well.

We had not been to LaTavola in a while and are so glad we went back! The restaurant was clean and it had a relaxed atmosphere. Our server was fantastic and the food was amazing. We highly recommend LaTavola.

Service was not good at all. the restaurant was busy but there were empty tables in the dining room, so they were not at max capacity. The most basic tasks were overlooked. First of all, the waitress could not successfully get the cork out of the bottle of wine (I had to take over after breaking the cork in half. Simple requests like grated cheese for my daughter's spaghetti were ignored until after she finished her meal. My lasagna was cold in the center, and the waitress didn't even stop by to check and see how the meal came out. By the time she stopped by, I handed her the credit card to get out of there. The meal took 2 hours to complete from start to finish. I was over the entire experience after 1 hour...

Staff was very friendly, service and food was excellent. Parking was very convenient. Will definitely be back.

Loved it. It lived up to its reviews. I was specifically looking for the squid ink spaghetti with crab meat. It wasn't on the menu that night but they were able to make it for me. Both our pasta dishes were incredibly fresh. My lemon drop martini was priced really well and also fantastic. If I ever visit Baltimore again I would come back.

Ambiance was great. Food was not bad but not great. For the prices, I expected more authentic flavors. Tomato sauce tastes canned. Noodles (linguine) boxed. I'd try this place again but with caution.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We hosted the welcome dinner for our wedding here in Little Italy, with over 90 guests, and it could not have been a better experience. From the very first planning conversation to the final toast, everything was absolutely flawless.
Luca was a total joy to work with — easily one of the most fun parts of wedding planning! He made the whole process effortless and full of personality. The team handled our large group with ease, and every single guest left happy, full, and raving about the food.
The kitchen did an outstanding job accommodating food allergies and dietary needs without sacrificing flavor or presentation. Every dish and drink was top-notch — you can taste the quality and care in every bite.
It was the perfect way to kick off our wedding celebrations in Baltimore. We’re so grateful to Luca and the team for giving us such a memorable, joy-filled night. Highly recommend for any special event (or honestly, any night you want amazing Italian food and great hospitality)! 🇮🇹❤️

The waiter was over his head trying to wait on too many tables. The service was unbelievable slow ( our reservation was at 6 pm and didn't leave until after 9 ) and when our entrees came before our salads, he didn't know what to say. Then he brought them and we refused them at that point. The veal dish didn't have any procuiito ham on it, my fish was plain and very boring. And don't waste $14.00 on the watery Sangria!!!! The lasagna was very good as well as the gnocchi dish. My Tiramisu was OK...but nothing like it has been in the past!!!! The check game and had to be adjusted because of the salads but overall this was our last time to dine here. It's a shame because we have had wonderful meals here in the past...what is this management doing to destroy a go to place for us and many.

Great food — the salmon carpaccio was incredible! Great service — very attentive staff Very loud though
Patty
The problem was service, clearly understaffed. The dining room was almost full and there was only one wait staff, one bus staff and a bartender. And the waiter was acting as the host too. We hope this was a one-night situation as it wasn't sustainable. The food was good, but that was overshadowed by the slow and somewhat scattered service. We ordered a second drink and ended up canceling it because we finished our food before it came. Last straw, our bill wasn't correct and we had to ask for it to be redone. Hope they get more help!

Quick and attentive service, delicious pasta (house made capellini with tomato sauce -big portion), attractive setting, but very noisy - hard to hear one another. Maybe this was just where we were seated (party of two); larger groups seemed able to have conversations. We'll be back when it's milder weather and sit outside.
