La Tavola Cucina Restaurant & Bar

Had dinner on the patio. Good service from our waiter Blake. Nice cocktail, caesar salad and pasta with mushroom ragu. Celiacs in our party had no problem getting gluten-free meals. Nice atmosphere.

place was OK. A lillt outdated inside. Food was ok, nothing really wonderful.Prices were also OK. As you can see, I think most of the place was just fair. Probably will not go back again.

Was here 6 years ago and left 5 star review as everything was perfect. Returning tonight for a dinner with my family was sort of disaster. First, the good: same great food. All people in a party loved their food. Here is where it gets bad. There are 3 waitresses for a small place, however non have any understanding of how to be a waitress (personally I don’t think they know they are in service industry). Water was never refilled, till I would chase one of the waitress. Table was full of bread crumbs and dirty dishes, which no one seemed to be interested in picking up. I kept stacking them as I could. Same drink tasted totally different, as second time it was prepared by waitress smelling bottles and doing her own custom concussion. Please keep in mind this is $30 per meal restaurant, so I expected different level of service, but did not even basics.At the end of the dinner I gave 10% tip. Within few minutes of payment, the “head” waitress came up to our table to demand explanation on issues with service and kept showing that 18% tip was expected. She even used a line ‘waitress don’t get paid here and live on tip’. Anyway as you can tell I am not going to recommend this place to anyone.If owners don’t make immediate changes to staff they are going to be out of business very soon. It’s a shame as chef is 5 stars.

place was just OK. Nothing really blew me away. Pricing mediocre as well as the food. Ambiance was just OK. Probably will not go back again.the place was clean which is a plus and the service was pretty good. Just did not get me feeling like I want to go back again

While I enjoyed the Caesar salad and chicken Parm, I’ve never been to a restaurant so unprepared to serve diners on a Friday evening. We came here to see the live band and enjoy a nice meal. The band was wonderful and the servers were kind but clearly not equipped for the amount of people there last night. When we asked for bread they explained they didn’t have enough bread for everyone at the restaurant so they couldn’t make it available to just some tables. Somehow we were served our meal within an hour but the tables around us still hadn’t been served for over 2 hours and had to order pizza from next door. We just don’t understand how this place is open for business.

We went to this resutrant to celebrate my aunts birthday and I had the Penne alla Vodka. The sauce was made from scratch and i could tell imminently . The service exceeded my expectations but these two things don't come cheap.

Delicious Italian food.

Excellent food and great service! Nice atmosphere too!!

Food is not good since the old owners sold it.

place doesn't look like an Italian restaurant, it was dark but not like romantic way but as if lights were out in parts of the area, walls are patched and not painted over, place was really cold, portion of the food was not much for the price, worst of all food for me and those with me was tasteless. I get more in olive garden and is worth it.

New owner and no longer a decent place to eat. It seems like the people who now run this place have no idea if how to run a restaurant.

First the good..... friendly staffweird atmosphere. are we a restaurant or a night club?food, not so good. the place was empty on a Friday night.should have went with my gut and left after seeing an empty parking lot.

The food was so amazing. The owner checked in on us several times as well as the servers. I'll come back every time I'm in Jersey! Thank you!

Great place, delicious food, and friendly staff. If you are in the area stop by you won't regret it!!

First time back since the new ownership took over, I'm glad most of the old menu is still there and the best bartender around Joselito is still behind the bar. I'm glad the new chef is following the old menu and presenting the food with the same care and quality.
