Stonewalls - Marco Island

Had a great dinner with my wife and sister-in-law. We made reservations to sit on the terrace for a Thursday evening. We arrived on time and sat right away. The terrace is beautifully placed with well spaced tables and heating strategic for ambience and a bit of warmth at cool nights. Both the drinks and the dinner menu had a good amount of variety without being overwhelming. Portions are good and quality. I only had two minor complaints if you could call them that. 1. My wife's fish had a ton of bones in it. Not the end of the world, but also not a great culinary experience. 2. They had played a band I liked, but it was loud. Luckily we were outside (I couldn't be visual to be inside and have a conversation) so it was good, but it would have been nice if she had us a head up when we made a reservation. Overall, La Tavola has good food at fair prices (for this area) and the terrace is a good option for those who are not entirely willing to eat inside in the face of the state of the world. We'll be back.

On a lazy Friday evening… We decided we weren’t going to cook but wanted to enjoy something we would grill if we had the gumption. Looking up the menu at La Tavola there were a number of grilled food options that appealed so we began our order with the prime rib pork chop, buffalo burger and the duck wings. I just say at the pork chop… Was better than anything I’ve ever encountered in the pork family. Completely melted in my mouth. The duck wings were super tasty. The buffalo burger super juicy and flavorful. Often you find that take out food loses flavor or appeal when packaged for travel but not from La Tavola. 13 years have we lived on Marco and this remains the best option for high end food to go!

I really enjoy having lunch here. Great food, service and outdoor seating in the breeze.

Novi was great! All of the appetizers, entrée, and sides were awesome. Atmosphere was excellent and we could hear the live band on the huge deck. The drinks were not watered down-but well made.

Great italian place with good menu and delicious options. Portions are big. They accommodated my request including mash instead of fries for the kids burger. Andrea was our server was great serving us with another server always checking if everything was okay few times. Octopus grill was great. well done!
