Reviews for Tavola Italiana in Ludlow, VT
I had one of the best Fra Diavolo tonight, they serve homemade fresh pasta and the sauce was the perfect amount of spice. The... salad was made from very fresh ingredients. My wife loved the chicken marsala, she said it was one of the best she has everhad. The staff, from the hostess to the servers were very polite and professional. The serving sizes were very reasonable, notoverly large like some places, there is emphasis on quality here. The prices were very reasonable as well, especially for thequality of the meal. The atmosphere made it seem as if it was a more expensive restaurant. Read more
This place was truly excellent and I am not normally a fan of Italian food. The location is spectacular. Beautiful views from... outside and a really classy and cozy interior. No complaints here. The staff are perfectly attentive and really sweet. Theyspent a lot of time with us and gave our baby a ton of attention. The food though! It was real, authentic, home cooked Italian.I can not stress this enough. I HATE Italian restaurants because I know they are charging me $20 for .99c worth of noodles andit makes me angry. Tavola was different. The flavors were ambitious and bold. Strong flavors, reasonable portions (instead of apound of noodles you could never hope to finish). The desserts (Almond Cake and Maple Pudding Cake were outstanding. I will beback soon and often for these desserts. We worked our way through a fair share of cocktails, everyone fresh, flavorful, andstrong enough to know you aren?t getting ripped off. I can?t stress this enough. This place is excellent and deserves yourtime. Read more
I was given a gift card over the holidays and decided it would be a good time to use it. We arrived around 6:45 pm and sat in... the bar area. The bartender was friendly and attentive. We ordered an Appetizer to share along with some warm bread. The entreescame and were quite good. This was our second time at La Tavola and will definitely go back. Read more
Really great Italian food and great staff. We came on a Saturday without reservations and the owner managed to squeeze us in... even though they were fully booked. Really appreciated the service and food. Read more
I am going to two stars because the service was very good and the people are nice but it ends there. The tomato and fresh... Mozzarella was served with hard as a rock non ripe tomatoes. The pricey Lasagna was made with a tomato sauce that tasted likedoctored canned sauce, possibly the worst Lasagna I've had in I can't remember and priced close to $20.00. I can only think thefolks giving this place 5 stars have never actually had good Italian food. I would never, ever go back. Wish we'd gone for Tacosin town I hear they are good. Read more
Very nice dinner for a Friday evening just arriving in town for a ski weekend. Great service! Friendly, warm and welcoming. Hugh... portions - I have lunch for tomorrow. The atmosphere is very nice. We have dined here with all the former owners and this is thebest. Don?t skip dessert. I very nice Italian dinner. Don?t miss out. Read more
There aren?t enough stars to rate this restaurant! The service was top notch, the surroundings are comfortable and elegant but... not snooty, and the food was nothing short of amazing. My son ordered the Crab Cake (special). The presentation was nice,topped with a bit of lobster. The cake itself rivaled the best we?ve had; lots of crab, a little cake, and sautéed toperfection. We each had a House Salad; fresh and tasty with a good assortment of vegetables. For our entrees we had the LobsterRavioli (special), Chicken Francese, and Penne a la Vodka with chicken. The Francese melted in my mouth! The sauce wasperfection and the cutlets were thin sliced and tender. My son completely devoured his Penne dish. My husband enjoyed theRavioli, which came topped with shrimp. The meal was tasty but the fact the lobster was puréed instead of torn took away fromthe experience. For dessert we had their ?new? chocolate cake, yum! And my husband had the Key Lime Creme Brûlée, which heenjoyed. I would go back weekly, if I could, and would recommend this restaurant to everyone.

High Quality Food. Far exceeded our expectations, we ordered from the "family takeout" menu for a group of 10. We had two trays... of chicken parm, a tray of penne vodka and half tray of garden salad. Everything was so fresh and cooked perfectly, I've neverhad a take out experience be this great. Didn't even need a knife to cut the chicken. We had plenty of leftovers and have beenenjoying them just as much. Highly recommend if you are in the Ludlow area, it was so perfect for us to have a high quality mealwhile staying in. Read more
