One of our first finds in Pittsburgh! Prices are fair, food is good and the service was great! So great, that without the service, I would have rated La Tavola 3 stars.
I've had the Tortellini and the Penne Fiorentina, which were both really good! I'm usually more of a fan of lighter foods with lots of flavor. No oily overly saucy pastas here! The tortellini tasted really fresh to me and the cheese wasn't overdone. The Penne Fiorentina was also very flavorful with a nice thick sauce.
As I mentioned before, I've received excellent service at this restaurant. The first time, our waiter was soooooooooo nice. We barely waited for our table and he was very apologetic for the wait and kept insisting that he'd make sure to take care of us for the night. He also made great food recommendations! One of the suggestions was the Italian creme cake, which was delicious!
Also, this restaurant is BYOB :)
