What Ira A doesn't like about A Tavola:
We used to go here quite a bit, years ago and we tried it again with high hopes, but were disappointed. The service was fine. Had to ask for the pepper at each course, but that's ok. There were two incredibly loud large tables of teens, but you can't blame the restaurant for that. Just keep in mind that this isn't a quiet conversation spot.

The awesome patio provided an escape from the city. Food was fantastic, felt very intimate as there are only tables

This restaurant has received a mix of reviews, with some customers raving about their exceptional experiences while others left disappointed. One customer felt let down by the slow service and dry chicken they received during an anniversary dinner, causing them to leave dissatisfied and questioning the quality of the food. Another reviewer mentioned long wait times and pricey dishes, making them reconsider returning. However, there were also glowing reviews praising the delicious food, attentive service, and cozy atmosphere of the restaurant. Dishes such as beef short ribs and braised short ribs received high praise, along with the friendly staff and romantic ambiance. Despite some negative feedback, the overall consensus seems to be a positive one, with many customers recommending the restaurant to others.

Went for restaurant week the food was good but way over priced for what we got. I’d give it another chance during the normal menu.
