Reviews for La Tavola Trattoria in Atlanta, GA
I give this place a four star rating and not a five because when we dine here the restaurant was woefully understaffed. The... BarTender/Waiter Trevor was so wonderful, but you cannot have one man doing the bar and waiting on all the tables outside. As tothe food…it was AMAZING!! Like amazing amazing. I had the chicken and sausage pasta and I will definitely be back for more. Read more
The best meal we’ve had in the 5 years we’ve lived in Atlanta. Our server, Scotty, was phenomenal. He went above and beyond... to answer any questions we had about the menu and described the wine perfectly. The combination of flavors and textures with thegoat cheese appetizer was heavenly. If you have ever been to Italy, that first bite of spaghetti will take you right back. Thetagliolini was was the tastiest pasta dish I have ever had. (We ordered the appetizer portions of the pasta) The citrus cakewith fresh peaches and hints of basil was another flavor combination worth admiration. Read more
Wonderful dining experience; will definitely return. We were taken care of by Scott; the service was next level. From describing... the drinks, detail menu insights and background stories, just excellent all around. Thanks to everyone we countered! Oh, and thefood was amazing too! Read more
Had a lovely dinner here on the outside patio on a cooler summer night. We went on Molto Monday and took advantage of the... specials! To start we had the goat cheese app which was sooo delicious. I loved the thought put into the varying textures andflavors- was perfect and balanced. The complimentary bread and olive oil was amazing, too. I had the cacio e Pepe which for only$10 was well executed! My husband had the mushroom ragu which he loved and thought was really special. Fingerling potatoes onthe side were slightly over salted but loved the fresh garlic thyme rosemary combo. For dessert we had the boccone. It was yummybut logistically very hard to eat. Our server was super sweet and welcoming. The only point I would make is that I wished therewere a few more vegetarian options! Pricey but delicious and worth it. On our way to the car we already started talking aboutour next visit! Read more
The food is so so good and to prove that, a reservation is a must if you plan to dine in for dinners on weekends. The veal... meatballs are so so soft and the entrees were great! I adored the tiramisu tho high recommend! Read more
I'm so glad they have valet parking. I'm bad at street parking, and barely have any luck to find available spot for street... parking when dining out. If you're in front of the restaurant, the valet parking is in the Wells Fargo bank parking lot, on theopposite side of the street. Definitely make reservation ahead, especially in winter. They don't have much space for thewaiting area, and you don't want to stand outside for so long in the cold at night, unless you want to train your body for coldresistance. The restaurant is much smaller and more casual than we thought, more cozy that way. We were seated very close tothe front door so it was pretty cold when people in and out, which is pretty often too. I kept taking coat on and off because ofthe cold air from the door. Because of the small space, the noise level is also pretty high, so it's a bit hard forcommunication with soft voice people like us; less talking and more focusing on eating then. The food was good but not amazing.I found the menu is a bit limited for my taste but that is just me. You can see their menu on their website. The server wasfriendly but because it's very crowded and busy so we don't see our server much but we were not ignored. Any other server wasjust as accommodating when we ask for refill or napkins. Our order: - Salumi boards. - Caesar salad with white anchovies (it'sa $2 extra). - Risotto (my friend said it was really good). - Market fish which was a roasted bass, on a bed of vegetables (itwas okay). - Tiramisu (the alcohol taste in the dessert kind of overwhelm everything else). Overall, my experience was neutral.There's not much to complain but I probably won't go back since it was kind of a drive for me, and the food was alright. I mighthave high hope due to all the reviews and photos from their social media. I still recommend the place since it's still a goodrestaurant, just not for me. Read more
Best Italian restaurant in Atlanta. The squid ink spaghetti was phenomenal, it had a mild spicy kick to it and was full of fresh... herbs/seafood flavor. The ravioli had a different spin to it with the sweet potatoes but it was still delicious. The bakedcannelloni was amazing as well. Service was good and the interior was nice. Wish we had more time to try the desert’s! Highlyrecommend, can’t wait to come back! Read more
I've been to a few Italian restaurants, but their culinary spin makes them stand out. I've normally had fried calamari, but... their grilled calamari was fantastic with a special sauce. Their chili rubbed chicken was moist and tender. The waiter wasgreat, and we left with no complaints. Definitely go and check them out. Read more
