I have been to La Tavola on various occasions and am never let down. Whether it was an intimate anniversary dinner, a birthday party seating 16, or picking up food from the side kitchen to go - they are fantastic.
The scallops are cooked to perfection and the seasonal menu items are delicious (hello pumpkin and butternut squash ravioli!) I highly recommend La Tavola - make reservations for the weekends! Week nights you can get in pretty easily.
Extra bonuses: The wait staff is always friendly and informative, you never feel rushed or pushed out. BYOB - which is always fun.
