  • Boy took me to La Tavola on a Saturday evening. The very nice valet moved our car approximately four feet. I found this a bit strange, but moving on. La Tavola has a casual and busy feel to it. We made reservations for 8:30 pm and arrived about ten minutes early. The hostess seated us promptly. The restaurant was packed with large groups of people, may of whom brought bottles of wine and even coolers of beer to share. I don't mind BYOB. I like that I can bring my wine of choice. It avoids restaurant markups of alcohol. That being said, La Tavola's corking fees are reasonable. We started our meal with the fried ravioli appetizer (very good) and salads. My salad was overloaded with gorgonzola, which makes it the first time while dining that I had ever wished for less cheese. The bread baskets are actually garlic bread baskets. Keep this in mind and bring mints for later. Our server was one of the best waiters I have ever had. He was cognizant of all of our needs and had a friendly personality. The menu is rather extensive, with a long list of pasta and meat entrees. I was in the mood for lasagna, and our waiter gave me a very honest and descriptive answer when I queried about it. (In a nutshell, "avoid, La Tavola has better things to offer.") I always respect staff that know the strengths and weaknesses of a business. I chose the "Terra Sole", which was fuscilli with sausage and roasted red peppers in a tomato cream sauce. This was delicious, but less creamy than I expected. Probably more healthy, anyway. Boy chose the "Pasta Carmela" which is spicy linguine with a choice of meat. He thought this was "ok". A veteran diner at La Tavola, boy has decided to avoid this dish in the future. Overall, a good (not great) dining experience. Prices are reasonable. A few notes. If you are looking for an intimate Italian dinner, go someplace else. La Tavola gets very crowded (read: noisy) and I found myself constantly asking boy to repeat himself. On the other hand, if you are looking for hearty portions and friendly service, head to 1 Boggs Ave.
