Food was delicious. Service was great. Perfect scenery on the patio. We had a great view of the sunset over Pewaukee Lake with complimentary glasses of champagne. Looking forward to returning.
The bruschetta, garlic shrimp, and mushroom ravioli were more than delicious! And of course, the tiramisu was out of this world! The waitress was very accommodating and friendly; I would strongly recommend this wonderful restaurant.
I really wanted to like this restaurant and was looking forward to it, but it was such a disappointment.
1. They used Prego jar sauce - I saw jars of it in the counter.
2. The waitress told us they serve more like family style so the portions were much larger so my daughter and I decided to split the pesto penne with shrimp…it was a regular portion of pasta, with only 4 shrimp on it. My husband ordered the chicken Parmesan and it had one piece of chicken over fried...read full review

La Tavola is an Italian restaurant that many reviewers describe as one of their new favorite spots, with some calling it the best they've ever been to. The food is frequently called amazing, delicious, phenomenal, and high quality. Specific dishes praised include the bruschetta, which is often described as pretty good or phenomenal, with one reviewer noting you can taste the vine-fresh tomatoes. The lasagna di carne is highlighted as great and very flavorful, and the lasagna rolls, Cacio E Pepe Dip, ravioli, and tiramisu are also delicious. The polenta fries are nostalgic and the house lemonade with fresh strawberries is a nice touch.
However, experiences can vary. Some found certain items, like arancini balls or a particular lasagna, not very fresh or flavorful, seeming frozen and reheated. One pizza was reported as tasty but undercooked, and bruschetta was sometimes noted as lacking with shaved parmesan. Service is often wonderful and great, though on one occasion a server was just okay. The atmosphere is very nice, with a great patio view, though some patio chairs are uncomfortable and indoor tables can be too small and close together. While most find prices reasonable, one takeout customer felt the quality didn't match the price. Despite mixed notes, the overall sentiment is positive, with many customers planning to return.
